Last of Us just isn't worth it from a gameplay-perspective, it is just so basic. And it was released a year ago

Wind Waker HD isnt just a port with high resolution its the first of its kind on home consoles a full remaster.

^This, which is appearently impossible for people to understand that a game so readily available at every single retailer doesn't need a remake. Lol.



To be perfectly honest, WWHD was a remake that improved the visuals quite a lot and it also improved certain gameplay aspects ( sailing is faster in WWHD for example)!

Wind Waker HD wasn't a remaster, it was a remake. They altered the game in a few different ways, they overhauled the graphics system, and they extensively upgraded the game. Remasters are basically the same game, in the same engine, but with higher resolution textures, etc.

People don't criticise TLOU:R for being a remaster. They criticise it for being a remaster of a game released a year ago. Wind Waker was released more than 10 years before Wind Waker HD.

And as others have said above me, nobody has criticised Sony's HD collections. There's nothing wrong with updating games that have drifted into history with a graphically-boosted re-release. Happens all the time. Heck, even if they don't boost the graphics or change the gameplay at all, it's fine - it's a re-release. On the other hand, releasing it on the PS3, and then having it announced as an improved remaster less than a year later, meaning that people are forced to rebuy it if they want the better-quality version, is a money-grab. They wanted to make people pay twice for the game.

It's not that they released a PS4 version a year later. It's that they hid the existence of the PS4 version (which must have been in development at the time that the PS3 version released) until people had bought the PS3 version in droves. THAT was the cash grab. Not the release of the PS4 version, but the hiding of the PS4 version until everyone had bought the PS3 version.



is free, since mk8 is a must have.



A 10 year remaster vs a 1 year is different. Not only Nintendo fans think it is pointless. The game is good enough on PS3.



 

 

I think the biggest load of fallout from any re-release will come at the start of next year with the "Definitive Version" of Tomb Raider 2. There wont be a single Xbox/Ps fan who doesn't land a ban when the info about that drops regardless of how little they actually give a shit about Tomb Raider, gonna be glorious.

 

As for Nintendo Remakeing Wind Waker which was a beautiful game experienced by very few people because of the Gamecubes unpopularity.... that was a great move, it's just a shame that the Wii-U is more akin to GC in popularity as well.

If anything is a Nintendo cash grab, it's the fact they they constantly release two different versions of all their pokemon games to force completionists to spend more money lol

I'd agree with you 10 years ago, but the social aspect of pokemon and things like wifi has made it easy to get everything from trading, which was thier original intention.
