Was it really necessary? Why update a video game from three years ago that looked pretty good as it was?

This tendency to remake and remaster video games has been criticized by the gamer community.

Players are asking for more original ideas and new IPs instead of rehashes of recent games.

This has generated divided reactions on social media, especially on X.

What does this remaster offer?

Naughty Dog presented something quite interesting in its trailer — there will be several new additions to the game.

First of all, there will be some previously deleted levels and three sections of the story mode that did not make the original final cut.

There will also be a new survival mode that, from what has been shown, is reminiscent of Resident Evil’s mercenaries mode.

It will have graphics and performance improvements, promising 4k in fidelity mode and a stable frame rate.

This pay-to-upgrade model is something we’ve seen before.

It’s been used since the first PlayStation 4 games received major updates.

Games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Uncharted 4 and a few other titles, all cost $10.00 to upgrade.

These updates brought performance improvements and a graphics tweak.

The Last Of Us Part II won several Game Awards in 2020.

This is not just any game and, if you have not played it, this may be your sign to check it out.

The Last Of Us Part I remake for PS5 was outstanding.

Without a doubt, it is one of the most memorable games of all time.

The differences between a remake and a remaster

It is important to differentiate between a remake and a remaster.

A remake is reinventing the game from scratch, even allowing for changes that influence the narrative.

A remaster, on the other hand, is the same game, with the same base, but with a facelift in terms of graphics.

This could include new textures, sound effects, lighting and performance improvements.
