With the release of The Last Of Us Part II Remastered, developer Naughty Dog has brought both of its excellent titles natively on the PS5, and everyone watching the show can follow along with the game on the latest hardware.
Marketing analyst estimates over 2 million units of The Last of Us Part II Remastered sold during HBO Season 2.
If true, this is why Sony keeps making them. A lot of "gamers" might complain or cry about it. But as long as these things keep making money, they will keep doing it and ignore all those complaining online
You are absolutely correct end of fbe day money talks and so far their remastered/remakes have generated a lot of money
So y'all are more worried about a companies pockets than your own entertainment? Are you pretending to like the same game being re-realeased each year?
No that is not what they are saying. People want to play these games. But, We have a minority of people who think they speak for everyone.

👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣
Edit: now I’m curious as to how the halo tv series affected the sales of the halo game 🤔
@cosmic That's pretty much implied. Keep doing the same thing because it makes the company money forget my entertainment as long as they get richer. Instead of demanding more. If this was anyone else there would be backlash and it would be real that's a fact.
In a nutshell yes that is good the game is getting more attention more than ever thanks to the show I understand and acknowledge that. I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it.
"I'm saying all it promotes is more re-releases and remasters from games that don't need it."
Nah this is just short sited idiocy. Remasters and re-releases are a thing because the cost of making games is out of hand.
Also a large portion of these sales are to completely new customers. Add in that it's very profitable as shown by these sales. So that's 3 solid reasons to do what they did.
If true this means that game companies would need to make a successful mini-series for every remaster to pull these kinds of numbers.
"Allot of gamers my complain and cry" it's literally in your own freakin words kid... How come nobody can see.. It's n4g not the brightest ppl in the world after all. That much as always ring true.
"👆👆So said a CoD player 🤣"
I don't play COD. What are you talking about? Yeah idc about halo TV or anything like that.
"Nah this is just short sited idiocy.'
Says the number on guy in that category. More money in remasters means more remasters... Simple
Cool let's all pretend to get excited for another game that doesn't need a remaster. You freakin fanboys ruin everything with yalls corporate boot licking BS....
I thought part 2 was 2 seasons, seasons 2 and 3. Season 4 wouldn’t have any source material unless ND made part 3 by then.
They will continue the story passed what was created for the games. Sony is the one making the series. Is it possible that the series goes in a new direction? Yeah. But who knows.
@StormSnooper
Neil Druckmann said in an interview with Colin Moriarty that they're not going beyond the story of TLOU2 for the show.
You definitely didn't watch the show. They split the 2nd game into two seasons. If you played the 2nd game it actually makes sense.
You’re correct. I saw the first season, but I lost interest in the second season. Not due to the controversy of the second game-I actually like it. Mostly due to not being in the mood for a downer of a show at the moment. But I’ll check it out later.
Game 2 will finish in the show by the time season 4 ends. And no, they won't go on after that. Not unless there is another game
Season 2, 3 and 4 will cover The Last of Us Part 2.
And no, Sony and Neil will be there all the way.
This isn't an argument for the low-hanging fruit, but this here is exactly why Sony - and others - will keep producing them. Dev costs are low. Profitability is high. It's low risk, high reward. And given the skyrocketing costs in the AAA space, projects like this help fund future titles. I don't like it, and I'd much rather Sony - and others - release new titles, but I sure as hell understand why it happens.
Whats the point of making new games when you can keep releasing old ones 😂 they keep buying so why not?
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Last of Us Part II: Remastered is a beautiful mess. An ambitious title that had all the right ingredients, but didn’t always pan out the way it should. The excellent survival action gameplay that showcases humanity’s brutality is often let down by a story that is trying too much and has poor pacing. Thankfully, Part II’s debut on PC improves on the last game, making it the best place to play, even with its imperfections."
If the story is deeply flawed to the blogger and it's a story game, how does the blogger justify giving it a 9? A deep flaw is unacceptable in any part of the game. If everything else was perfect, it would be an 8 game. Deep flaws are foundational issues.
Let me help:
Graphics: 10
Sound: 10
Story: 8 (Overreliance on flashbacks. While the story beats are properly paced and the plot points are generally pacy, it tries to tell 2 stories at once, which led to a structural issue in the overall story, but despite this the message and mood are striking relevant.)
Gameplay: 8 (Turning in the game is awkward and it gets in the way or searching for stuff and the quick turn in combat doesn't feel intuitive.)
Overall: 9
How tf a game with 8 gameplay and 8 story get a 9 overall? Graphics and sound does not! Make up for that. Gameplay and story hold way more weight than graphics and sound.
CG says: In this video, we take a look at the same forest section on horseback in The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered that we showcased in 2020 on the PS4 Pro. It’s an amazing bit of exposition with not much happening aside from a bit of banter. However, taking it slowly rather than galloping past, the forest graphics are actually pretty detailed. One of the more beautiful moments from the game. PS4 Pro version holds-up pretty well (that output was upscaled 4K and back then, there was no DLSS or AI interventions that we know about).
Probably because it's $10 if you have the PS4 version.. part 1 was $70 regardless
Had the PS4 version and never finished it, so traded it in a while back. Got the physical PS5 version despite feeling it was a bit unnecessary, I was curious about the No Return mode so took the plunge. Really enjoying it!
Best game I've ever played
The No Return mode is real and the skins earned from this mode can be used in the main game. Abby's punk-rock skin is awesome. Plus, it's also cool to play Joel and Tommy.
Just like the first game, it’ll be a fantastic experience, people will praise it and it’ll win many awards….then there’ll be comments from worthless “console war” losers saying “It’s not even that good” or “It’s overrated”. To this day TLOU Part 1 was one of the best games I’ve ever played in my entire gaming existence, it’s just so well put together and executed. Hang up your fanboy hat for a moment and give these developers the credit and praise they deserve for pouring their hearts and souls into these titles for our pleasure.
