It's actually surprising how many elsewhere are defending this. I even went looking for other remasters that were close to their original release, and all that I found going back to 2015 were also major porting opportunities, like Persona 5. This really is disgraceful levels of money grabbing, and people are lapping it up with the "but it's just a $10 upgrade" crap, as if that isn't still money grubbing.
Now for $70 you can relive the ultimate simpening in marginally improved frame rate. Celebrate Shabby's rise to heeldom and hours of preachy cutscenes about pampered, whiny teenagers in a post apocalyptic potemkin village.
They know a straight port across console generations can't be sold at full price without controversy. So they slap the word "remaster" on it (which has no actual definition and is purely marketing wank) and sell it at full price to milk the last bits of blood from that stone.
Considering this will join the incredibly short list of PS5 exclusive games for those fools who actually own one, I think they already got what they deserved hundreds of dollars ago.
I don't know how this is better than just making "The Last of Us 2: Director's cut" or "Definitive Edition" but I'm not one of the geniuses behind Playstation "not designed to make a profit" Portal
The amount of faggots defending this is amazing. These are also the same people who supposedly hate corporations and are also apparently smart enough to recognize that companies "don't actually pander to us or support our message, it's just lip service rainbow capitalism, chud!". Oh, and the same people defending this garbage from the "chud gamers" are also the same people who call conservatives "bootlickers who can't criticize big corporations". Leftists hate big companies until it's time to own the gamers (TM). Sony fanboys and Sony cocksuckers represent why gaming companies get away with releasing garbage and overall greedy business practices, because people will always flood in droves to buy literally any garbage brand (TM) shuts out, and people will even defend multi billion dollar corporations from anyone who criticizes their favorite goyslop franchise that hasn't been good for 10 years. This is very apparent with Sony fanboys, as talking shit about kikestation online will get you swarmed by twitter faggots (especially if you say anything about TLOU2). Fuck anyone who defends this shit.
The leftist motive can literally be summed up as whatever damages white people, Christians, and straight men the most. If it hurts one of those groups, then redditors will line up behind it.
"We're out of ideas, and this sold really fucking well. So we'll sell you it until you're sick of it, and then we'll move on to whatever else you like to monetize that into the ground too."
nope because i cant boycott something i wouldnt even pirate. anyhow at this juncture they should just go saints row and start becoming an obvious parody of itself, like a golf mini game with abby and a zombiefied joal being the ball you gotta first beat down and then tea off where it falls... nah that sounds like actuall fun cant have that.
Imagine working for 3 and a half years just for a new game mode, reviving a few abandoned levels, and likely asset flipping from the in-limbo multiplayer. I've seen developers who charged $10 for additional content that took far more effort than this.
Didn't it come out like 2 years ago? Even if it had been a good game, how does that warrant a remaster already?
The original Last of Us released the Remastered version 13 months after the vanilla version released.
So ironically, this is an improvement.
That at least had the excuse of moving it from the PS3 to PS4. Part 2 is on the PS4 and thus is playable on the PS5 through backwards compatibility.

Remastering Last of Us 2 is like covering shit in glitter, it doesn't matter if it's sparkly now, it's still shit.
It’s not even the cool edible glitter. It’s the shitty Chinese plastic glitter that makes you blind if it gets in your eyes.

This is just marketing attempting to be clever.

NPC consoomers get what they fucking deserve.

It's not like Naughty Dog is capable of doing anything else. Not after all the brain drain developing this game caused.
As for boycott, that would imply I actually wanted this game or anything Naughty Dog and Sony are shitting out. Which I don't.
It also requires anybody to own a PS5 to begin with.
I'm kinda interested in that ant simulator game they (Sony) have coming out next year.
Other than that I'm good, though.

Boycott? As soon as I saw all the woke BS I wrote this game off almost instantly.
Can't boycott what I was never intending to buy.
I'm boycotting it so hard I went back in time and told my past self not to buy a current gen console.
I was hoping for a bigot sandwich mode.
Ahh, the Disney route for selling you something.
Which is:
"We're out of ideas, and this sold really fucking well. So we'll sell you it until you're sick of it, and then we'll move on to whatever else you like to monetize that into the ground too."
this shit just came out how are they remastering it?
This is like when they sold “gold” versions of games. Basically tell their fans we’re done developing this.
I would, but... On a PS5, I can't mod the source files to make all the characters into Marie Rose.
Exemplary tastes.
Like 6 "games" in a 2 game series. And of course you see know-nothing slop lovers defend this.
Never played it
How does one boycott a game one has never played, nor has any interest in playing?
nope because i cant boycott something i wouldnt even pirate. anyhow at this juncture they should just go saints row and start becoming an obvious parody of itself, like a golf mini game with abby and a zombiefied joal being the ball you gotta first beat down and then tea off where it falls... nah that sounds like actuall fun cant have that.
Question: does it count as a boycott if I never had any interest in the series?

Didn't buy the original. So I have no use for the "remastered" version.
I can't belive my favorite Golf game is getting a facelift!
It's not really "last" at this point, is it?
