Let’s do this!
The Witcher 1-2-3 Ehnanced, Crysis 2: DX11, Layers of Fear 2023, Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, Metro Exodus: Enhaced Edition, Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary, Quake 2 Remaster, Skyrim Special Edition, Minecraft RTX and many others are notoriously opera of pirates and modders.

Yes because not many games at all run in 4k/60 with RT on…Last generation or not…

How many of those are free upgrades?
All of them.

So you can upgrade from Skyrim to Skyrim Special Edition for free?
I thought the special edition included paid content so a direct upgrade from the base Skyrim version isn't possible without paying something for it.

But the additional content isn't free right?
But your making it sound like the additional content is free. That's where I'm getting confused.

True. I guess completionist isn’t the right word
I just want the new one so that the spine reads, “PS5” when it’s on the shelf

You are spot on about the lack of new I.P, or just anything new full stop.
All we've had is a remaster and now another remaster, neither of which were being asked for and neither of which really needed remastering in the first place.

"Remaster"
It's just a bump in resolution for 30fps mode. Standards of what qualifies as "Remaster" has really lowered.
To clarify, I didn't expect any big improvement as the original game running on PS5 still looks amazing, especially with 60fps.

Well we already know that's not exactly the case. The increase in LOD and shadows/occlusion is already noticeable from this GIF.
Resolution, AF and textures bump can be appreacited a bit here:
That's what they official announced as improvements so far:
"Increased texture resolution, increased Level-of-Detail distances, improved shadow quality, animation sampling rate, and more."
Personally I'm fine with that. When you mess with elaborated visuals (lSpider-Man Remastered for instance) ruining things here in there is invevitable, and there's nothing I hate more.

Unfortunately, looks exactly the same to me, even in that comparison. Sad to call this a remaster. They just upped the resolution and that's it. Even at $10 I won't get it. It's the same thing.

It's obvious that Last of Us 2 underperformed commercially and that GAAS game that's been in development hell is not helping either. That's why they've been churning out remakes and remasters nobody asked for.
It's safe to say that TLOU2 was able to make even but wasn't able to make enough profit for them. 200 million dollars not even including marketing oof.
Druckmann the hackman made a huge doodoo, he was so cocky during the marketing of the game and it bits him in the ass.

Only an idiot would buy this, it's even more pointless than the first last of us remaster. You can literally play the ps4 version on the ps5.

How long do you have to work for 10$ ?
Only an idiot would continue to play ps4 version when ps5 upgrade will be out

It didn't. They said it was profitable day one and it was extremely successful.
Just about every single one of their games has been remastered and TLOU1 Remake was in development before TLOU2 was released.
Uncharted 1-3 remastered
TLOU Remastered and Remade
Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy remastered.
All PS4 naughty Dog games have failed based on this logic. lol

Saw this post today
So if I own the game digitally, I can't upgrade? Wut? I did notice it didn't mention the digital version in the press release but I didn't think it needed mentioned, I thought it was a given that the digital version would be eligible for the $10 upgrade....

would be nicer if those A/Bs were from places where the original game goes to shit in terms of LOD and pop-in which just happens to be non-random and 100% reproducible.

That morons tweet said it. I figured it was a given that digital could be upgraded but official ND presser only mentioned the physical being eligible for upgrade as well so I started to wonder...

So 4k/60 Performance, then when you use the pointless addition of RTX in fidelity mode 4K/30, fuck me you get it now? Performance hit for a SMALL visual ‘improvement’…Not a hard concept to grasp…

Just stop it. Again it's a last generation game and it's not even open world. It could have a rt performance and fidelity easily with different resolutions.

Ah this is nice and all but I want one of Sony's best studios to show us what they can do with a game built from the ground up on PS5 hardware.
Mildly interested.

Res bump is super noticeable even in a YouTube vid, LOD upgrade. Nothing mind blowing but it should be even more noticeable on a full size 4K TV without YouTube compression

Its always amazing how insecure game studios are. They must have legions of employees whose only job is to scour the internet for bad news, so they can respond on twitter with a tear dripping down their face. Every game will have their share of internet fans liking or hating the game or business strategy. No need for tweets.
It's got to a point ND even calls out gamers to put up or shut up about spending your own money.
I think whats happened is LOU2 didn't sell as well as expected. If it did, Sony would be bragging like how LOU1 sold a ton. Now, to keep sales going LOU2 remastered is coming soon and possibly their last chance to milk it for sales, so they are nervous.

Yeah man. It's $10. TEN DOLLARS.
What could $10 get you?
A coffee?
A sandwich?
I don't think its a bad deal. If they had charged $60 yeah then by all means get out the pitchforks.

Horizon Zero Dawn sold 20 million copies, they were probably expecting to perform better than that game in a much short period of time, also TLOU2 got discounted after a few month of released. There is really no point having a remake of a 3 year old game other than to take back the losses. TLOU1 on PC was a flop too due to bugs and performance issues.
