Unannounced Remake Project Added to Naughty Dog Employee's Resume

It’s a remake of Noel’s House Party.

Don't get me wrong I love Naughty Dog games but I literally could not be less interested in this. The only way I'd even consider picking it up full price is if Factions is included. TLOU1 just doesn't make any sense for a remake to me but all I can say is I hope it's out soon so they can move on to better things.

I still don't get it why do they have to remake the first game. It isn't as if it was released 20 years ago on PS1 or PS2. The game was released in 2013, barely 9 years ago, and was even remastered for the PS4. There is no need for this remake that nobody asked for.

I couldn't think of a less unnecessary remake if you gave me endless time, I still some how wish this turns out to be just Factions and/or a giant prank.

Ugh why? Time could have been used for a new ip or get the next uncharted/tlou out faster.

It still blows my mind that they are wasting time remaking the PS3 game that holds up the most out of the entire console's catalogue.

If they bundled this together with Factions 2 and maybe story DLC for Part II, I'd consider dropping the $70 for it. But $70 for this by itself? No freakin' way, Jimmy boy.

Way of the Warrior remake confirmed!!!

This has to be one of the most unexciting remakes ever cause of it being so unneeded.

Just wait until it's a Rings of Power remake announcement.

Isn't this coinciding with the TV show?

it's just shameful to remake and repackage this game again. unless it's a complete retelling of the story, this is just another disgusting example of the cash grab trend plaguing this industry.

If it's a remaster simply updating visuals and controls to TLOU2 then say so, just please stop....
what a waste of talent, and a creativity stunting, board member driven garbage decision.

There has to be a few talented members of the team that actually do the work, that must be tired of the constant work on rehashing the two franchises over and over again rather than any form of genuinely new creative design and direction.

Bring it on! The more classics up to ps5 standard, the better. The OG discs are still there for purists. Stop whinging people ffs!

I'm honestly hoping that it's the first Uncharted or Golden Abyss with a new coat of paint. A 2013 game seems too new to warrant a remake.

I honestly don’t care either way, it seems silly but then I remember 2013 was 9 years ago. Resi 1 came out in 96, REmake in 2002. Metal Gear Solid in 98, Twin Snakes in 2004. This is more comparable to Pokémon Gold and Silver vs Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, they were about 10 years apart. I think everyone’s lost track of time because of the pandemic.

I was really disappointed with the second Last of Us game. I think I played the first game about 4 times and still love it. But the second game deviated too much from what made it so great to begin with. It was really long too for no reason which didn't help.

What I thought was even more strange is the 10/10 reviews everywhere. I think most people would agree it wasn't exactly perfect and that shows on the metacritic page. But hey, you don't have to agree with everyone on everything.

The first game is definitely a classic but a remaster like GTAV (also a 2013 title) would be far more acceptable than a remake.

@nessisonett But the technological and quality of life jumps were far bigger then than now, it's apples to oranges. A 2022 game is far more similar in design to a 2012 game than a 2002 game is to a '96 game. Also, all of the major issues that needed to be addressed like frame rate and resolution were fixed in the 2014 PS4 release, which itself runs perfectly on the PS5.

I disagree with all the negative commentary about a possible TLOU remake. Do I “need” a remake? No. But I’d be first in line to buy it if true! Playing my favorite game again remade for next-gen would be amazing. So, just to balance out the negativity: I hope this is true!

I would remind people that according to Jason Schrier's interview on the Minn-Max show that Naughty Dog are working on a new IP. That he reported the reason this remake came about is that it was started by a support studio. That it ran over budget and that Sony set the large technical staff of ND on the project after TLOU2 to "feed the beast" i.e. give them something to do while the creative staff got out of preproduction on the new IP.

The jak & daxter games could've really benefitted from a remake but there's absolutely no need for a last of us remake it already got a remaster for PS4 & still looks & plays great now

It could end up being good, but what a waste of one of the best developers in the industry. Instead of making something new, or even a new Uncharted game with Chloe again or Cassie (Nate's daughter) they are making two The Last of Us games. Sure, if it ends up being good, I'll probably buy it, but I still think this is wasting Naughty Dog.

It already takes forever for games to release and I despise that such great talent is being wasted on a remake of a game that is less than ten years old. It is so freaking annoying.

Watch this actually be a Jak and Daxter remake. That would be great right now

Aw no, Pittsburgh basement generator keycard room is getting polished. Seattle hospital is stressful enough.

The remake we don't need.

@RevGaming if the rumor is true this is already finished also they have more then one team.

@Shstrick it’s not

This game was one of those i never really fancied but i tried it on my ps4 and then again on my ps5 so i could play it running in 60fps and whilst i'll admit that its a game that deserves to be held in high esteem i found it oh so terribly boring..never finished it and i never even tried the 2nd one..i'm sure this remake will appeal to somebody..

@twitchtvpat none of the teams should have made it

@OneWingedAngel I agree with you. My guess is that the tv show will be nothing like the 1st game and this remake is based on the show.

We're getting this because people and especially gaming websites can't stop gushing about this game. It's great by all means, but I feel many went overboard with their praises (while also underrating part 2, because most don't understand the idea that having unpopular story and characters decisions don't make it a bad story).
Personally would love to see something new or a uncharted spin off that's more open world.

My understanding is that a very small team worked on this - with the rest of ND beavering away on factions and a new ip or pt.3

The remake was originally pitched by the visual arts group studio - but was then taken in-house by naughty dog.

A remake is very unecessary- but playing back the original remaster again after LOU 2, i can see why they would want to bring it up to modern standards

Day one. Just like with anything Naughty Dog releases.

@nessisonett with Mr Blobby DLC

Yeah the only ‘interest’ I have is on how much change they will have in the story and desconstructing the characters to ‘fit’ the different perspective of part 2.
I actually loved the first game and thinking they ll make the necessary ambiguities and logic irrelevant and instead reconstruct it into right =/= wrong with silly chosen one narrative is sad.
I suspect Joel might be represented as completely dumb and clumsy as well haha

As others have said pointless remake how about putting these resources into a new ip or part 3 it only had a remaster on ps4 is it going to be new skyrim gta 5 with remaster ever gen

@JJ2 That's what I'm expecting them to do, change the narrative to "fit" the tlou2 story.

Please be jak and daxter instead

Wait, are we still treating this as a fact based on the information we have? Seriously?

We know it'll be The Last of Us Part I, we've all seen the hat Druckmann was wearing with it on. Bit daft to just not come out with it at this point.

A remake I definitely don't need but still will play day 1, not gonna lie

Just give me Factions 2 please

@SlySnake0407 actually I last replayed it straight after finishing its sequel and had no issues beating it easily. The only time I may pick up the remake is in a future sale for less than a tenner, I don't need a remake of something I can already play on current hardware

I agree with most of you that a remake for TLoU is unnecessary, since the original looks and plays great already...

On one exception though; if the remake includes an optional way of playing through it all in VR. In that case I will take my TLoU pre-order thermos (yes I still have it) and go sing the remakes praises on the nearest street corner.

This is such a waste of time and I'm worried about changes to fit it in with 2.

Uncharted 1 could use a remake more, or something much older.

@Rural-Bandit but I think anyone who was interested played the game already. It sold 20m already. Probably 25m since that was before tlou 2. I just don't think it was needed and it is a waste of time.

I welcome a remake. There is a lot they could do with the scenario and level design to spice things up significantly. It’d also be neat to see Left Behind integrated into the core experience.

@RevGaming The Witcher 3 proved that's never the case. No matter how well a game has sold, it can sell way more thanks to a movie or a tv-show.

@Rural-Bandit
Yeah I get them. I just don't like it even though I will buy since it's my fav game of all time.

@naruball
The remake is going to sell. I'm going to buy it, especially if it comes with the multiplayer, but still. A last of us 3 could also be boosted by the show. Didn't have to be part 1. We also don't know if the show will be any good.

They're just doubling down on this, and you can't blame them. I think being able to release the first game again alongside the shows release, they are looking for either side to take part. Casuals might love the show and take a fancy with the remake, and we all know that us gamers (if you enjoy the story) will watch the show. Obviously they will need to make things worthwhile and they can just make sure everything ties up as it should and there won't be any inconsistencies.

Jaysus, all the whining here about the remake not being necessary are some of the same people that bought other remakes of Resident Evil etc.

You don't speak for everyone and I have no doubt whatsoever a remake of TLOU, one of the best games ever PERIOD, will sell by the absolute bucket load.

@Rural-Bandit Nah. I wouldn't pay for a patch. If it's a remake from the ground up, probably.

First time I hear gameplay being too cinematic. It was the same from tlou1 but improved in many areas. The story was not as good.

I would just like a copy of TLOU Part 2, that actually works on my PS5. Is that too much to ask?

Is it just me?
I have bought two different copies on disc.
They both installed properly, but neither of them will actually play.

“Something went wrong”.

Although, that said, I think I really would prefer an updated version of the original game at this point.

Trying to re-install TLOU2 on PS5, just now, as I type this. Out of curiosity.

And sure enough - black-and-white picture of “Angry Ellie”, fades to black.
And then……. Nothing.

Makes sense only if it's developed to fully leverage PS5 hardware... That way it's a win win situation... You can play it on the best of ways, and they can learn valuable things for new PS5 games.

Heavenly Sword.

Work on a new IP or bring back something old like Jak and Daxter. Have zero interest in a Last of Us 1 remake.

As much as I would love to see TLOU1’s brilliant story combined with TLOU2’s amazing combat loop and controls, I just don’t see the point of this.

ND could be working on TLOU3 or even better, a new IP.

@OrtadragoonX you know they can do both right? a new ip and last of us 3. but like i said in another post above. if the rumor of this being true is right, then the rumor is also this is finished.
