Remember when Naughty Dog made video games and wasn't just a TLOU studio?
In the past eleven years, they've made
-
The Last of Us (2013)
-
The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014)
-
The Last of Us Remastered (2014)
-
Uncharted 4 / The Lost Legacy (2017)
-
The Last of Us Part II (2020)
-
The Last of Us I (2022)
-
The Last of Us Part II Remastered (2024)
The last of us is a video game?
3 games in 11 years with some porting work to get people comfortable with new tooling is perfectly reasonable. The game a year studios consistently end up with cookie cutter nonsense.

Pokemon became pure garbage once Gamefreak was required to work on HD hardware. The franchise was already heading downhill since X/Y from a gameplay perspective but Gamefreak's ineptitude became very apparent when they were asked to produce on the Switch at the same rapid pace they historically have.

Maybe treating these console generations as though they're somehow super different is more trouble than it's worth. Meanwhile, PC games I bought 20 years ago can easily be run on new hardware at higher frame rates and resolutions than when I bought them.
And those games don’t look like modern games even if like look relatively better than when released. This doesn’t have anything to do with console vs pc. The capabilities of each generation are different even if not in a super way.
Pretty much any time you see "remastered", the net effect is that you're just running an old game at better resolutions and frame rates, including The Last of Us Part II. Sony decided they'd rather charge you for the same game multiple times rather than just having a process in place to run their PS4 games better on PS5, like Xbox does in many cases.
