The point of TLOU re-master is three-fold:
- There are quite a few X360 gamers that switched to PS4 and hadn't played TLOU.
- The only really knock of the TLOU was frame rate. This game will have perfect frame rates.
- Sony feels this is a good way to put minimum effort and get maximum ROI.

I think this is what hurts some people the most, and the cause of all hate towards this game...

Apparently it hasn't. Just because _you_ choose to ignore it, doesn't make it true. The Last of Us is a simple cross generation port. |
But they are using different assets new character models and are doing certain renders completely different from the ps3 version. How will you explain that. The game is being remastered son
Wow these TLOU PS4 haters are laughable! I just read for 20 straight minutes and watched the majority of you put them in their place and then they would respond with some off the wall fabricated argument that usually had no basis it was just their opinion passed off as fact. I even heard someone argue it is NOT a remaster yet they didn't once mention the plethora of upgrades and added DLC and cheaper price point than when the PS3 version launched. This game is going to be huge and the demand for it is amazing thus far. Most all my friends went PS4 this gen (360 last) and they are pumped (even those most watched me play at my house) now they get to play it. Someone else mentioned the original 360 fanboys who went X One this gen are feeling very bitter, and I think it is indeed because so many have jumped to PS4 from 360. Calling this game a cash grab? Indeed it is!! and VERY smart of Sony to do so! and sell it for cheaper, improve the visuals in every way possible, give free DLC, and all kinds of other little upgrades abound. Sony would be smart to make this game even if it was a cash grab because people WANT to give their cash for this game. Again THEIR cash. People can spend their money on whatever they want and why these trolls have a problem with how other people spend their money is beyond me. There is huge demand and Sony & ND are doing the right thing to not only cash in but give people what they want. If you don't understand why this is being done and why it is a smart move for Sony (whether you like it or not) than you are clearly living in a world of delusion.
The amount of hoove clickery in this thread is astounding...
Here is where you can get details of TLoU Remastered:

Lets go back to a previous "remastered" game. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. The game so many people were told would be superior to the PC version, but still falling flat on its face in comparison. In case you forgot the verdict on which was better, check out the link here:

So, now the question is, "What constitutes a remaster?". Lets use the definition assigned for movies. Someone provided a definition already, but lets just cut to the chase. When a new movie is released and a year goes by, if the movie is ever re-released with new features, video enhancements and audio corrections, it's never labeled as a remaster. As a matter of fact, it's labeled as a Director's Cut. Why? Because the movie is still fairly new and there's no much to do make it look better for today's technology.
For a video game, touching up the character models and "adding" DLC, features and lighting effects does not constitute a remaster. Think of it this way. If you remaster a game and the older version still has better quality, then what do you call the remaster?
"Remaster", in this sense, is being used as a marketing ploy kind of like how "HD" was used as a marketing ploy between 2006 and 2012 (and it still is today to be frank). The true definition of remaster, in the case of video games, does not apply to TLoU. I'm sorry to inform you, but it's just a port. What they've done with this game isn't anything new. Developers have always ported older games to newer consoles with updated graphics and features, and even then, they were labeled as ports.

This remasterd version will be great!

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

So TLOU:R for PS4 will fall flat in comparison to the (not existing) PC-version of TLOU? Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for PS4/XBO was much better than Tomb Raider for PS3/360, wasn't it? People expect an improvement to the PS3-version of TLOU, not an improvement to PC.

No, they don't label it as Director's Cut because the movie is fairly new, they label it a Director's Cut because they changed the cut according to the director's wishes (which often go against the wishes of the cinemas... if the movie gets too long, they sometimes have to reduce the number times they can show it per evening). Sometimes they label it Enhanced Edition, Special Edition, Ultimate Edition, Extreme Edition, Unrated Cut, Unseen Edition, Collector's Edition, Uncut, Superbit, 3D or other catchwords, but "Director's Cut" has a pretty precise definition.
And all these terms aren't mutually exclusive. the new version can be a director's cut, a remaster and an uncut edition at the same time... the PR decides in these cases which of them is the strongest label for sales... when they call it "Director's Cut" or "Uncut" that doesn't automatically mean that it ain't also a "remaster".
