We talk about this year’s video game remakes and remasters this week on the Eurogamer Newscast, including the newly revealed The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, which will be available on the PlayStation 5 in January.
Even though TLOU2 was released on the PlayStation 4, it has just been three years since then. What do we think about the “Remaster” that already exists, and is the £10 upgrade worthwhile given its DVD extra-style additions?
We also talk about some of the great remakes that will be released (again) this year, such as the fantastic new versions of Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space. While it’s encouraging that these games are drawing in new players, may we risk becoming too fixated on the past and well-known, safe franchises? Victoria Kennedy and Liv Ngan from Eurogamer will be joining me to talk about all of that and more.
