Remember when Naughty Dog made video games and wasn’t just a TLOU studio?
In the past eleven years, they’ve made
The Last of Us (2013)
The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014)
The Last of Us Remastered (2014)
Uncharted 4 / The Lost Legacy (2017)
The Last of Us Part II (2020)
The Last of Us I (2022)
The Last of Us Part II Remastered (2024)
The last of us is a video game?
3 games in 11 years with some porting work to get people comfortable with new tooling is perfectly reasonable. The game a year studios consistently end up with cookie cutter nonsense.
Pokemon became pure garbage once Gamefreak was required to work on HD hardware. The franchise was already heading downhill since X/Y from a gameplay perspective but Gamefreak’s ineptitude became very apparent when they were asked to produce on the Switch at the same rapid pace they historically have.
Then maybe remake some of their other games? Did anyone want three editions of The Last of Us (1)? I can’t think of a single piece of media that’s got so many remakes in such a short amount of time as TLOU
They aren’t remakes. Remakes are far bigger projects.
3 games in 11 years is approximately the correct pace for games that aren’t epic sized, but aren’t dogshit.
The remasters are just how they internally build the engine out and get devs on board with the new APIs and hardware features.
This idea is what’s wrong with the games market right now.
TLoU Part 1 is a remake. The rest aren’t.
Naughty Dog made all three original Uncharted games in 4 years though. ND is a Greatest Hits developer now
The Last of Us: Skyrim Edition
