Play: "Every month in Play Magazine, we take a hot topic and look at the arguments for and against. This time up, we start with Retro Gamer Editor Darran Jones stating the case against the trend for HD remasters on current-gen consoles."
who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.
I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.
We need announcement something from him.
Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.
Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.
Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool
He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.
Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.
It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.
Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
It's a love-hate relationship.
I've yet to buy a remaster this gen.
You might not want it, but there's an audience for it.
for example, as soon as Gears of War remaster shows up. I'm all over it.
Take advantage? lol
I never heard of stories of people getting forced into buying anything.
I just want additional achievements for my favourite games lol.
I'd rather a full-blown remake on a new engine with enough extra content to make it stand out.
A good HD remake does not. Chrono Trigger HD with an orchestral soundtrack, full voice acting, additional content, new difficulty modes and gameplay tweaks, Trophy support, and the works, everything togglable to where you could theoretically just play the original; who WOULDN'T buy it?!
Same for Smash Bros Melee. HD online with balance patches? Sign me up! Mario Kart Double Dash too! Street Fighter II 4K Remix! I can go on and on...
Now, I do think it is stupid that we get remasters a year after initial launch like TLoU, but hey, you don't have to buy it, man.
Remasters kick ass when done right. I heard Silent Hill screwed up but for every screw up we get an awesome game like Wind Waker so I am thrilled.
