Concern much?
What would be the point?
Where is the concern? I don't see it. Just saying the original game is not that old so they can likely use a lot of the same assets. Is that concern? Come off it.
Really would hope they’d put in a lot of work and blow the original away. Otherwise what’s the point? Didn’t the remaster even get a pro patch?
I think that is what a lot of us were asking (what's the point?) when it was originally rumored. Maybe we'll all be blown away, but the PS3/4 game still holds up well so I dunno.
Honestly I can see them releasing a "the last of us collection" with both games for that price. It's Sony. They don't care and they know I'll buy that at that price...wait wha...?
A collection makes a lot of sense. Especially if it releases around the time as the (free to play?) online game. Or if Sony includes some free gear in a standalone TLOU remake you can use in the online game, then maybe $70 makes sense.
I can't see it being a jump from something like Demons Souls PS3 to the PS5 version (although TLOU is a PS3 game). TLOU pushed the PS3 WAY more than Demons Souls PS3 did. But maybe if ND pushes the PS5 more than Bluepoint pushed it with Demons Souls then it will be a huge upgrade.
But even if that is the case, will it SELL? Demons Souls when it released on the PS3 was the first of its kind, very niche. It didn't sell particularly well. In the years since Demons Souls, Souls games have blown up so the PS5 version should have sold a lot. So many PS fans have already played and beat TLOU. Will millions buy a remake of (essentially) the same game? Especially if it's $70, when you can buy the PS3/4 version for $10 on sale???
I'm intrigued to see if these rumors turn out to be true and what Sony will include in that package.
