Some will call that a "cash grab" some will take a bizarrely literal translation of the phrase to parse the meaning of the word "the". Bottom line is it's a "remake" that recreates an 8 year old remaster of a 9 year old game almost certainly for the purpose of a PC release and to coincide with merchandising interest from a film adaptation, at a higher retail price than the game went for previously. Who thinks the owner's going to say "yeah.yeah it is.but we know you're gullible and will give it some bets anyway."īut people are getting hung up on their own version of what "cash grab" must mean. The developers speaking out in response to claims it's a cash crab is kind of like a casino owner speaking out against claims that say the craps table is stacked in favor of the house.

This is a ground-up remake, complete with new character models, remade environments, and even gameplay additions and adjustments taken from The Last of Us: Part II.

Add the fact that The Last of Us: Part I has a full retail price tag, and you can see why some people might be cynical.īut at the same time, let's not pretend that Naughty Dog has simply slapped a new coat of paint on one of its most celebrated titles and called it a day. And let's not forget that The Last of Us was already remastered in 2014 for PS4. The bottom line here is that this is a remake of a game that's not even ten years old - a rarity not just in games, but in almost any form of entertainment. The upcoming PS5 remake of Naughty Dog's landmark 2013 release has already attracted a lot of criticism from some onlookers, many of whom claim that the project is simply a "cash grab", or something to that effect.

There's a big debate happening in the PlayStation community right now, and it's all about The Last of Us: Part I.
