It's not about if the remake is gonna be polished or not, the issue here is that the game ain't that old, and still hold to this day, so didn't really need a remake, just imagine the disaster if this becomes a trend and so every game will be remade every 9 years after its release...

[01011001]

ok, now make the game design good... cause that's what the game needs most, and I can't see the remake actually doing that

 

[Topher]

Bet this will be awesome. Can't wait to play the game.

[Lognor]

You've already played it. I don't expect many changes other than graphics. You know what to expect. No need to bet

 

[Mister Wolf]

Would rather have a remake of Jak and Daxter using the new game engine.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I need to see more though. Going to be hard to justify the price if thr multiplayer was cut out from it. It better look and play amazing.

 

[Swift_Star]

I'm totally expecting the sales of this game causing massive meltdowns.

 

[El Pistolero]

Still curious about the gameplay itself...I wonder if we will have a SOP dedicated to it between now and its release date?

Strike while the iron is hot .
i dont blame them honestly.

 

[Kacho]

But what does Alanah Pearce think?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Can't wait to see the gameplay.

Punching the shit outta things with Abby was so satisying. Hope to do that with Joel

 

[Topher]

You are incorrect. This is more than a visual update with upgrades to gameplay systems as well. And the "bet" was a figure of speech. I shouldn't have to point that out.

All we need is a catalyst like another avatar bet thread, but this time for the sales/reviews for this game.

[Fess]

Can't wait to play this! Only played through it once and it was ages ago.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

This was part of their plan with HBO right? Providing fuel for the entertainment engine that will be the show, games, books, etc.

 

[Punished Miku]

Seriously. What do these people honestly think? We all just bet over every little thing on here like its high school or something?

Spoiler

 

[bitbydeath]

I won't pay full price for it but I'm more interested in it than a TLOU3 at this point.

It would seem the word "bet" has some here jumping at shadows.

just imagine the disaster if this becomes a trend

But all this stuff with remakes and remasters has always existed. So it is not even a new trend. So it does not even have to become a new trend. After all, it already is one.

Just two examples:
Shadow of the Colossus:
PS2: 2005/2006
PS3 Remaster: 2011
PS4 Remake: 2018


PS2: Ratchet & Clank 1: 2002
PS2: Ratchet & Clank 2: 2003
PS2: Ratchet & Clank 3: 2004
PS3: The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy: 2012
PS4: Ratchet & Clank Remake (only R&C 1): 2016

Well, with The Last of Us, we have ve now had the remastered version a year after release. And if you like, the remastered version was remastered again when the PS4 PRO update came. (2013 - 2014 - 2016)

But the time gap between the original releases in 2013 and 2014 (8/9 years) are not even unusual time gaps compared to other remasters/remakes. Demon's Souls is just another example. (2009/2010 vs. 2020). This clearly shows that remasters/remakes are neither something new nor something unusual after this period of time.
In the case of The Last of Us, I simply believe that the game is still much more present in people's minds. There are certainly many reasons for this. On the one hand, the sequel only came out in 2020, which is why many people only played the game again then. On the other hand, TLOU was just so good that it was talked about intensively again and again. And the internet has also changed over time. People are much more involved with certain games. Be it through subreddits, Discord, YouTube or other social networks. These were things that were nowhere near as intense 10+ years ago.

I'm totally expecting Sony to start bundling the game with the ps5 around November. Gotta get those numbers up!

Ma boi I can't protect you if you keep doing this

 

[Evolved1]

A thread of such spicy takes. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[Evil Calvin]

It's not needed. There was a remaster on the last gen......which is playable on current gen. It's a cash grab

Or how about offer a next gen upgrade for free......cowards

 

[MasterCornholio]

I'm totally expecting Sony to start bundling the game with the ps5 around November. Gotta get those numbers up!

Honestly I'm expecting a GoW bundle to sell better than The Last of Us Remake will. Still the PS5 doesn't need help selling systems it needs better supply.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Game is gonna look good but the gameplay is still gonna be throwing a glass bottle, dude walks over and goes "Huh..." and then you sneak past him.

The first Uncharted needs a remake over this.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Wait a full remake of an already remastered game with a 20h storyline and a £70 price isn't a cash grab?

Lol okay

 

[Swift_Star]

I'm totally expecting Sony to start bundling the game with the ps5 around November. Gotta get those numbers up!

As they should.

 

[Gojiira]

No the game itself was fine, it needed some tightening for sure but if it has to be remade then it needs NEW content as in actual playable sections. Why not more of Ellie surviving in the Winter? Or a couple of stops in the car before the ambush? Idk but theres plenty of times the narrative jumps forward that could be filled in, and failing all that just drastically redesign each section. Then it would be a worthwhile remake.

 

[Lognor]

As they should.

As they should bundle it? Lol

But why not a gow bundle? Think

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Im sure its technically great and detailed. The fact remains though that this is a completely unnecessary, cash grab remake. The Last of Us today thats already out still looks and plays great and isnt even that old.

 

[Swift_Star]

Honestly I'm expecting a GoW bundle to sell better than The Last of Us Remake will. Still the PS5 doesn't need help selling systems it needs better supply.

Sony would be stupid not to bundle amazing games with the console.

 

[MasterCornholio]

As they should bundle it? Lol

But why not a gow bundle? Think

Why wouldn't there be a GoW bundle? There was one when the 1st one came out.

 

[PropellerEar]

ok, now make the game design good... cause that's what the game needs most, and I can't see the remake actually doing that

You need jeebus

 

[MasterCornholio]

Of course it's going to happen. The only question is if there will be a Special Edition bundle or not. I got that one BTW awesome looking console.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Agreed the first Uncharted would definitely be more worthy of this treatment.

Still not worth £70 though.

no they need a game designer

Dude.....you just got off being banned. You might want to slow down your trolling.

 

[Swift_Star]

But why not a gow bundle? Think

Yes, they should bundle both.

 

[PropellerEar]

no they need a game designer

They need your opinions?

 

[Mr Moose]

They might do a bundle with custom plates for GoW, they did with the last one.

If you fight hyperbole with hyperbole you'll obviously land in the middle at the truth. It's simple math.
