A new report appeared last week stating that developer Naughty Dog was in the process of redoing the original The last of us for PlayStation 5. While this game is one of the most liked in the hearts of many, the news received largely the reaction of those who thought that PlayStation should not try to remake a game that is not even that old . Now, new information has emerged that better explains why Naughty Dog seems to be working on this project.
In a new episode of The MinnMax Show, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, who originally revealed this news The last of us remake last week, talked more about why this is a direction Naughty Dog is going. Schreier said essentially that the reason the studio is redoing the game is because, at the moment, many studio employees have nothing else to do. It is said that the developer is currently in pre-production of some of his future projects and therefore the makers of Naughty Dog do not spend much, which makes it easier for them to move on to this remake.
To explain it further, the pre-production process is where the initial ideas of video games are usually fully realized. This includes finalizing elements such as the story, characters, art, and world that will be found in a particular video game. Until these aspects are fully described, however, it is difficult for developers to start working on a game that has not even finished their vision. As such, until production of a new game begins completely, it is difficult for an entire studio, especially one the size of Naughty Dog, to put all its developers to work on a game that is still at this stage. of creation.
With that in mind, I imagine many more fans will perfectly agree with Naughty Dog who wants to remake The last of us. While it may seem too early for a new version of this type, the idea of seeing the original game running on the engine found in The Last of Us Part II it looks pretty exciting. However, as to when this project could officially see the light of day, we still don’t know. Maybe PlayStation and Sony will officially unveil the game later in 2021.
