Especially since both are PS3 games with PS5 remakes at the same price point and both are keeping it extremely close to the original.
But the ‘original’ in each case is wildly different contextually.
As stated, Demon’s Souls OG was a janky mess, and played by very few people. Less than a million. A remake was justified for these reasons alone, as was the full price tag, because there were an awful lot of people out there who hadn’t played the game, but were Souls fans. The remake made perfect sense from all angles.
Last Of Us has sold over
20 million copies, and has already received a remaster. It was technically rock solid when it first came out. The only way this remake makes sense as a project is to sell it on PC (fine at full price) and to fleece gullible PlayStation owners, who are more than likely to have already bought the game at least once.
To state that the two remakes are exactly the same, and driven by the same intent is rather disingenuous.
Of course, if they’d just pitched the game at a fair price on Ps5, none of this would be an issue.
