I was going to leave a snarky comment about the game not being all that old, but then I double checked the release date and saw it was 11 years ago. Now I just feel old and I can’t even really make that snarky comment.
It still isn’t a good reason. (Major) remakes don’t make sense until a generation has passed - that is, at least 15-20 years later. There’s no point. Last of Us was a silly one to do, even if it looks better now. They shouldn’t even be discussing a Black Flag remake until after 2030 and earlier in series game remakes are released.
Yeah, I love The Last of Us, but it didn’t really feel like it needed a remake either. It isn’t enough of a difference to be worth buying for someone who already has the original version (especially not at that price tag). And IIRC, they didn’t even give the remake the same improved combat system from the second game.
I guess the upside is that a new generation of gamers just starting each series can have an improved experience and I really am happy for them because Black Flag and The Last of Us are amazing, must play games. But I personally sure would prefer development be focused on new games.
Despite that age, I think it has aged great (at least on PC). It’s a beautiful game.
I don’t get why it’d be remade, given how well it has aged. Just make a sequel with similar gameplay but a fresh story, missions (no eavesdropping!), and map. AC Rogue was very similar, but without being explicitly pirate themed and the story of Rogue was very short (but I did like it).

It came out 9.5 years ago.
Misread it as 2012, you’re correct.
