Suddenly, the unexpected announcement of The Last of Us 2 Remaster arrived to shake the gaming world and draw opinions from the community, who refuse to believe that Sony and Naughty Dog are going to remaster a game that is only three years old. original release.
Most of the reactions go against what the companies probably expected, not being satisfied with a mere generational transition of the same console, graphic polishing, and a little additional content. The sequence was acclaimed by critics and the public for its narrative constructed to the point of perfection, but almost nothing escapes “money-grabber” releases in this industry, and the community is always watching.
Players Are Apathetic And Annoyed With The Sudden Announcement Of The Last Of Us 2 Remaster
The launch promises to revisit the “masterpiece” that is The Last of Us Part II, pushing technical limits to provide players with an even more immersive experience through Ellie’s exciting journey. Additionally, as additional content, The Last of Us 2 Remaster includes lost levels where players can replay cut and unfinished sequences from the game with developer commentary, and a roguelike survival mode that lets players control various characters from the series in randomized combat.
It turns out that this decision to return to a 2020 game that is already very well developed for its time is a little questionable, even more so due to its price, becoming an obvious strategy to profit with little effort at the fans’ expense. In some exceptions, some fans were excited about the news brought by the remaster and defended the release as a necessary update from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5.
But the praise is an exception as the overwhelming majority of gamers criticized Sony and Naughty Dog’s action in releasing a paid (and not cheap) remaster for a game that is only three years old, with almost nothing that needs it that much. of revitalization. As is to be expected, the companies are really after profits and will exploit the popularity of the franchise and the game to the fullest to do so, leaving outraged players to resist and complain.
The announcement of The Last of Us 2 Remaster comes along with the hype generated around the franchise as we receive news on both the games and the TV series that adapts the universe on HBO Max. It’s a way to take advantage of the hot topic to announce a new product that did not turn out as expected as disappointment exceeded expectations in most discussions among the gaming community.
Another group of players has already cited another problem, which is the prioritization of The Last of Us 2 when other games have been waiting for a remaster for longer, such as Bloodborne. While all this is happening, players are also questioning whether the production of this remaster may have delayed the studio in the development of future projects that have already been awaited by fans, be it a sequel to The Last of Us, a new Uncharted game or another franchise produced by Naughty Dog.
The delay is probably not the case as the changes made were minimal, relying only on new modes that are very simple and an almost imperceptible graphical evolution, which also upset some, but surprised no one. Like it or not, The Last of Us 2 Remaster arrives on January 19, 2024, for PlayStation 5 players.
