Twitter reacts to Naughty Dog remastering LOU for PlayStation 5
Fans offered their reaction to the thread, which also suggested Dayz Gone won’t receive a sequel despite being profitable. SIE is hell-bent on repurposing its prominent games for next-gen hardware. Gamers will be very excited to know that the Uncharted franchise will finally return soon.
There is also a new Uncharted game in development by Naughty Dog which a team of Bend Studio had to help with until they feared to get absorbed by ND and asked to be taking off the project (they are now working on their own new game) pic.twitter.com/8PPxOonUfV

The 8-year-old title for PS3 has been remastered once for PS4 already. This move would mark its second remaster for PS5, and some fans are not happy about this news. One fan suggested the sequel failed to impress him, and with this move, the studio is trying to milk the first part.

A ps3 game getting a PS4 remaster and now a ps5 remaster.
At this point failure of part 2, and are now trying to milk part 1. I loved part 1 and to me part 2 never happened but I won’t be supporting this bullshit. 1 of the reason I didn’t bought Spider-Man remastered.

However, another fan defended this move and cited that the sequel was a major success, which is contrary to popular belief.
Also TLOU 2 a failure… HOW lol, it’s gotten a ton of awards, 93 on MC, 10/10 IGN, 3rd highest grossing PS game ever, over 4m copies sold in less than a week. Because you’re upset Joel died or Abby loved, you can’t call it a “failure”. It’s objectively successful pic.twitter.com/gUv6FeXR3x

Some fans were eagerly waiting for the announcement of the new Intellectual Property (IP). Sadly, this news was not what the community expected from Sony.
Bruh I was hoping for a new IP 🙁

Some fans overjoyed with this news, as LOU part 1 is still regarded as one of the best titles ever made.
