Is The Last of Us 2 Remastered Necessary?
Somefansare wondering why Naughty Dog is remastering the controversial sequel.A similar discourse happened whenThe Last of Us Part Iwas announced, as the original game was not even 10 years old yet.
In addition,The Last of Us Remasteredfrom 2014 on the PlayStation 4 plays fine on the PlayStation 5. Taking advantage of the new technology used inThe Last of Us 2, Naughty Dog decided to use it to remakeThe Last of Us.
The Last of Us 2 Remasteredis likely going to fully utilize the PlayStation 5’s power. Players can play the game on their PlayStation 5 to get enhanced features such as 1440p resolution, faster loading times, and 60 frames per second. However,The Last of Us 2was still built with the PlayStation 4 in mind.

Furthermore, this can be Naughty Dog’s opportunity to also port the game to PC.The Last of Us Part Imade its way onto the PlayStation 5 first before getting a PC version six months later. If history repeats itself, this will likely happen again withThe Last of Us 2. Though players likely want the port to work at launch, Naughty Dog will hopefully take its time with this new remaster.
Jumping off the HBO series’ success, the remaster is looking to be on the horizon. A facelift for the PS4 game is making its way to fully utilize the PlayStation 5’s power. When this remaster will happen is not official yet, but we’ll learn in due time.
