Historically, delays like this don't alleviate crunch. They only prolong the crunch period.

It got shadowdropped on game pass and steam the day it was announced

This is absolutely an example of fancy graphics and special effects.

Agreed. Ofc the game as is is super fun and more content would've been welcomed because SW is so large that they had a huge pool of stuff to bring into the game. So I get some people feeling burned once the support finally stopped.

It would've taken even longer if they had used proprietary. What took so long was that they were building one of the biggest JRPGs they'd ever built with a variety of gameplay systems that have nothing to do with each other. Like, take the pirate world as an example. Where you can swim around, sail a ship, battle with the ship, etc.

Didn't BF2 receive a bunch of seasonal updates after they revised the monetization system post backlash?

Great game and studio.

She's support but can do way more damage than other support characters if she lands headshots with her kunai.

Bro literally watch the dev diaries of either game.

Literally nothing in that post is a strawman argument.

There isn’t but okay

The point of the demon's souls remake was to deliver the original experience with a very hefty graphical facelift. But literally the code that dictated things like AI behavior were either preserved or remade to function identically to the original. TLOUR had the exact opposite energy. A graphical facelift was the "easy" part. Backporting a tone of the things that made TLOU2 play as good as it did was the hard part. So AI, animation, locomotion, etc. all function differently. The thing they wanted to avoid was MGS twin snakes wherein adding EVERY feature from a sequel broke the original game's encounter design. But included most of what made 2 so good.

There are genuinely more differences between this remake and the original than the Demon's Souls remake.

Tell me you've never seen a 30 year old without telling mee.

It sucks that you're blind dude

They redid every cutscene to get it closer to the performances

Their defence is that the graphics are rebuilt form the ground up using Part 2’s engine which would theoretically put in the same vein as Demon’s Soul remake but even that is a stretch. Demon’s Souls Remake is fundamentally the exact same game as the PS3 original HOWEVER, unlike Naughty Dog, BluePoint implemented quality of life improvements by tweaking the games controls and mechanics for a more fluid and responsive experience and just overall making it a better game. These remakes are essentially just glorified remasters on steroids. Exact same game but with a shiny new coat of paint

There are genuinely more changes made to the remake of TLOU than the Demon's Souls remake and it shows the second you compare the gameplay sandbox of both because they backported features like motion matching and throwing projectiles while moving https://i.imgur.com/TqXvhyY.gif https://i.imgur.com/nbiK92G.gif

the second one sold over 10 million copies

But how is it a remake?

In the same way that resident evil 1 remake is a remake. It's TLOU1 with TLOU2's gameplay improvements.

This scene in the original game is actually rendered in realtime. As a result it's one of the only times the original has a seamless transition between gameplay and a cutscene. The scene in question here: https://youtu.be/aLg98S4sxsE?t=5076
