Forums - Sony - "I don't get the point of TLOU Remastered"

WiiStation360 on 10 July 2014

Generally, the TLOU remastered reactions see to fall into 4 categories.

PS3/PS4 owner: I have already played this game, and it was great. Maybe i will buy it again to play.  (at $50 or wait for price drop)   I am  glad other people get a change to play this amazing game.

Unrealistic PS3/PS4 owner:  I demand to get this game for $10 on launch day, since I purchased the PS3 game.

PS4 owner (non PS3 owner):  This is great, i wanted to play this, but never had a PS3 to play it on.  

XBox1 owner:  This game is a pointless moneygrab, nothing to be excited about, and not a real new release.  Please stop talking about it.  It will probably the the highest rated PS4/XBOX1 game released this year, but it does not count. PS4 still has no games.

They must also not understand the point of Wind Waker HD, GTA V on PS4/XBone or GoTY Editions.

Actually I don't see anyone really complaining about those, but PS4 is winning right now, so TLoU warrants complaining, since it costs $50, just like WWHD and actually less than your typical GoTY Edition.



Just ignore those people.


Except TLoU is a game that was released a year and a half ago with no original plans to bring it to the PS4. The new "remastered" version is only a graphics increase with DLC. Meanwhile, WWHD is a decade old game which was truly remastered, and GTA4 was planned to come to the nextgen platforms regardless.

The bottom line is this: TLoU: RM is a port. No more and no less. When people get excited for a port, thats when you know they have no games to play.

It won more game of the year awards last year than any other game so that may be a part of the exitement.

But still, it does not really compare to the big Xbox One exclusive coming out this July. Does it?



This is the Game of Thrones

Just ignore those people.

1. Wind Waker HD is NOT a remaster, it is a complete remake of a game over a decade old.

2. GTA V at least manages to look different. Screenshots of TLOU remastered look almost identical to the PS3 version. And I'm not a big fan of the GTA V remaster either.

And overall, remastering a game just a year old is complete overkill and an obvious money-grab, especially when it looks almost identical to the original.

1. WW HD is a remake...cool. Who cares if its a remake, if people want it...then they want it. Who cares how old it is, if people want it they want it, end of story. This applies to all things, if people want something they buy it. Its pretty straight forward.

2. Ummmm....look up video comparisons between TLoU PS3 and PS4. The PS4 version looks MUCH more crisp and detailed. Why are you talking about a picture during a cutscene? What is that going to prove? Its the gameplay that's going to show the difference, not a pre-rendered cutscene. But go ahead, keep thinking both versions will look the same. The game releases in about 3 weeks or so, we'll see then won't we?

And overall its the people, not the person, who drive sales and ultimately decide what is worth their time and money so no need to be a drama queen and call something complete overkill when a product actually reaches out to as many new customers as TLoU Remastered does. This game is big and will pay for a chunk of U4's developement cost and people will be introduced/re-visit a game that many consider to be one of the best of 7th gen consoles. If people want it, they buy it.

1. A remake is completely building a game from the ground up to work on a new console. A remaster is optimising a game to run on a new console.Big difference. People will buy it, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a remaster of a game just one year old.

2. There's a bit more "crispness", but overall hardly any difference worth remastering the game just one year after its release. 

Yes, if people want it, they will buy it. Power to them. It also means for others that advertising costs, developmental costs, etc. are going towards a year old game that is being re-released as a money move.

1. I know its a remaster of a game one year old. Everyone knows this. Why are you telling me this? WWHD is over ten years old, it practically requires to be a remake whereas TLoU is only a year old and doesn't benefit as much from being remade. You expect a company to spend ten times the amount of money on just rebuilding from scratch when they could get almost as good results for a tenth of the cost. Boy, you've got a lot to learn about the real world.

2. There's a bit more crispness? That's it? No double the FPS, consistent FPS, better lighting, touched up controls, none of that, just a bit more crispness. Come on...

And those advertisement/developement costs will produce them more money than the omission of the project giving way to more money for future products. So if your worried about anything to do with future titles from Naughty Dog you can rest assured knowing that TLoU Remastered helped with the developement costs of whatever titles ND make this generation.

Why is WWHD even still being talked about? The simple fact that it's 30fps is enough to disqualify it as a worthwhile remaster and instantly less meaningful than TLOU Remastered (and Halo MCC). Seriously, don't bother making a new version for better hardware if you're gonna keep it at 30fps, specially if you're gonna ask full price for it. 60fps or gtfo.

I think their both fine

wwhd being really old is good for its remake and a 48% of ps4 owners dont have last of us so there both great ideas imo

I'm excited for the included commentary track (creative director + the voices of Joel & Ellie).

I loved these in-game-tracks in my second playthroughs of Half-Life 2, HL2 Episodes 1 + 2, Portal 1 + 2, Monkey Island 2: Special Edition, Tomb Raider: Anniversary and the Blackwell games.

Still have to play through Alan Wake, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Blackwell Epiphany, Journey and Gone Home a second time with commentary track.

lol Whatever makes you believe TLOUR is worth it...

Why is TLOU remastered like the 10th remastered game this generation yet it seems to be the only game getting guff for being a remaster?



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

I'm not the one doing any "believing". That's the people who think a 1080p/60fps version of a game that pushed the PS3 hardware to its limits is a rushed crash grab while a lazy 30fps port of a 10 year old game isn't a rushed cash grab.
