I think The Last of Us Part 1 would have gone over better if it was Naughty Dog getting used to the new hardware to really knock it out of the park with their first new game the way the 2014 version was for the development of Uncharted 4 on the PS4. Instead, it just led to another remaster of the 2nd game with no new game from the studio so much as announced 4 years into the generation. That's ultimately the difference between the rerelease situation on Sony and Nintendo platforms. Nintendo fans have every reason to believe Nintendo's rereleases are there to give development teams time to finish and perfect new games, while many Playstation fans feel their rereleases are taking the place of new games and are being worked on instead of new games. |
The problem over on Naughty Dog was having a massive online TLoU game cancelled before even releasing, not those ports.
Even so, they must be about to announce another big game, Naughty Dog makes some of the very most technically impressive games in the industry, and it does take a lot of time. Zelda took 6 years between BotW and TotK even and the main world is the same and lots of assets were reused.
I think Nintendo can release games quickier because they also have smaller scope games and less capable hardware, and Sony should start making more games like Astro Bot as well, it may be getting out of hand, already did based on money investment and is may also based on time investment.
