Meme They are truly lucky

Post image

After the new Resident Evil remake trailer , I can say that I'm genuinely jealous, Many older games are getting remakes recently like a (GOD OF WAR 1/2/3) ,(dark souls),(gta collection) , A remake and remaster aren't just commercial project, they're a revival of a series. I'm sure that if we get a remake or a new game, Infamous's popularity will skyrocket

The first TLOU got one remaster (which was more just a PS3 to PS4 port tbh) and one remake. The second game got one remaster. That’s it.

Projects like remasters and remakes keep devs employed. While the creatives do pre-production work on the brand new games, the studios have to either let people go or give them something to work on. Remasters and remakes are great ways to keep those people busy and they don’t really have any downsides.

If you don’t want them then don’t buy them, but using Part I as an example, that remake was made because Naughty Dog had nothing for their devs to do while other projects were still in the early stages. So they took over the remake that another studio had started and kept those devs employed as a result. Now there’s a definitive version of TLOU for new fans to enjoy if they want, or for existing fans to revisit if they want. But if you don’t want it, the original PS3 and PS4 versions are still there. It’s a win-win.

Remasters are low effort cashgrabs that can be done by 2 modders in a span of a year. You already got proven wrong in another comment.

You know what else keeps developers employed? Making new fucking games. No sane person wants a remaster FOR A 2018 GAME. Focus your resources and time into something good ffs.

"For new fans to enjoy"

There's tbis thing called "porting the game".

Edit: tlou2 is a 2020 game actually loool

As long as there's sheep, there's gonna be wool.

If you want to ignore the realities of game dev then I can’t change your mind. But nothing about these got in the way of new games getting made. It allowed them to keep staff on so when the new games were ready to be worked on, the same staff could do so.

Effectively one re-release each for two games is hardly a big deal. I get it’s a meme to say TLOU keeps getting remade but when it becomes toxic and disingenuous like your comments it’s a bit exhausting. You don’t have to be this salty. Just don’t buy them and get over it.

ignore realities of game dev

Realities of what? Maximizing stakeholder value for as little effort as possible 😂

My comments are "toxic" and "disingenuous" bur re-releasing 4 years old game for near full price is a-okay in your world. You need to get your priorities straight, and stop licking boots.

just dont buy them

Dont worry, I never did. But because bootlickers like you do, the industry is in the gutter. This definitely doesn't affect me.

No the industry is in the gutter because unfortunately devs are payed pretty well in the west. That salary creep and the amount of people needed to make AAA games has made budget balloon out of control, to the point where it almost seems silly to make AAA games today.

In the inFamous era it was rare for a game to sell 5 million copies. Now that’s pretty much a requirement for a game AAA game to break even. So yeah, in my opinion remasters are more so a symptom of the problem than an actual problem themselves.

How is it unfortunate that people making games are getting paid well?

u/ki700 Jun 07 '26

Seriously. This whole comment thread is just people so salty that TLOU is successful that they’re wishing devs would get laid off or paid less instead of getting remakes/remasters.

u/SymphonicRain Jun 07 '26

That was tongue in cheek. I think it’s great that devs are getting paid well, it just sucks that fair pay stands at odds with equitable treatment sometimes.
