Naughty Dog’s Matthew Gallant has said he doesn’t “understand some of the consternation” surrounding The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered’s release.
The director was asked by VGC his thoughts on the backlash remakes and remasters – such as Naughty Dog’s upcoming native PS5 version of The Last of Us Part 2 – are often met with. After all, the original game came out less than four years ago.
“I don’t understand some of the consternation about what The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered offers,” Gallant replied, adding he believes this release is “the best way to play The Last of Us Part 2, if you’re a new PlayStation owner and new to the franchise”.
The developer said the PS5 hardware will give users the “best” gameplay experience. “My sense is there’s an audience for this for whom the idea of a PS5 version is thrilling,” he continued. “I’m also speaking for myself, I’m excited we can bring this to the fans, and if it’s not for everyone, that’s fine.”
