Initially, when Sony announced The Last of US Remastered is coming to PS4, it rubbed some journalist or gamers the wrong way. I didn't know the extent of the negativity until I read some of the comments online.
One such article is from Crave Online Why The Last of Us Remastered Shouldn't Really Exist
The author raised some valid points but unfortunately maybe from either a biased or uninformed position.
He argued that on the other hand, Microsoft's Halo Masterchief Collection(MCC) was worthwhile because it showed there was work done there, as it involved some major retooling work.
The Last of Us on PS3 uses many of the tech and engine work that naughtydog custom-built over the years while working on the Uncharted series. Many of these tools either have to be adapted or rebuilt for the PS4 version. Sure, while I agree that MCC offers great value (4 games for the price of 1, games spanning 2 console generation), saying that its just a graphical bump is the understatement of the year. To the gamer yes, because that is all you can see on screen, which the developer will strongly disagree.
His article is just a representative of some of the opinions and here are some of their typical comments/arguments:
- Cash grab! Game is barely a year old!
- Naughty Dog should work on something else!
- These kinds of 'remastered' version should not exist at all!
- I just bought this game on PS3, no way I buying this again!
Anyway, the gamers have voted with their wallets. The Last of Us is a great way for previous gen console owners to join the new-gen consoles (which might be the last, who knows). Shiny new hardware with an award-winning game to boot.
