TLoU is by far more impactfull than Xenoblade X, it's also older, even the remaster is older than XCX. The TLoU Remake is also vastly more updated compared to either the original or the remaster than this definitive version is for the original Wii U game. Not a good choice of example I would say.

I've played TLoU on PS3 and I never felt like getting either the remaster or the remake, the same for Horizon Zero Dawn, but that would very likely be the same if I had already played XCX. Also, the original Xenoblade Chronicles also has released a trilogy of the same game... Wii, 3DS and Switch. So we can clearly see there is also something wrong with Xenoblade Chronicles... right? No.

I'm happy to be able to have all 4 XC games on the Switch, but it's very clear the treatment is not the same based on reception.

So let me get this straight, you are sticking up for Sony remaking a games that people can already pop into their PS5s and play? There is no excuse for the TLOU remake. The original version of the game couldn't be played on PS4, so a remaster was understandable. The Reamaek though? No such excuse. Dropping 3 versions of the same game in 9 years is indefensible. I can play Horizon Zero Dawn, on my PS5, at 60fps right now. No need for a remaster. How many PS3 games are Sony sitting on that CANNOT be played on PS5. I can't pop my XCX disc into my Switch. My HZD works just fine. Hell, they can't even drop a patch for Bloodborne when a fan hacked the game to run at 60fps on PS4 Pro.

Those remakes/remasters Sony do are not for me, as I already said, mostly because I already played those games by then, but even if not, I usually stick to the original version of games, even as I've been getting Nintendo remasters more often nowdays, I'm mostly unbothered by them.

Again, if TLoU releasing the same game 3 times in 9 years is indefensible, what about Xenoblade Chronicles being released 3 times in 10 years as well? This is exactly the point, it's the same situation, the same amount of games, basically the same time period, but for Sony alone it is indefensible...? TLoU Remake on PS5 is vastly more high quality and improved over the original PS3 game than Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition in the Switch is compared to the original Wii Version.

And I'll end up getting XCX DE, like I did XC DE, mostly because I've never played them on Wii or Wii U and I would preffer playing them on the Pro Controller for the Switch rather than any other controller for the Wii or Wii U. I have become kinda spoiled since the DualShock 4, the Wii U Pro Controller feels pretty strange now, the Switch and PS5 controllers are by far my preffered way to play games nowdays.

I also don't feel like getting Horizon Zero Dawn or The Last of Us remasters, but it I did I would still only pay $10 for them as a owner of the original version, rather than having to buy the whole game again.

Sony is giving options, cheaper upgrade paths and BC, doesn't sound bad at all, but it generates hate, which can be anyone take on it, but then again it's mostly only them getting that kind of hate.
