"By the end of the piece I was convinced that Boone had made a point: video games and the preponderance of the people who play them do so for immersion, suspense, and escape. How they accomplish this is more or less moot in my mind, but for Boone it isn’t. He’s arguing that videogames too often and too easily count on manufactured suspense, tight camera angles, and above-all else violence to accomplish these goals. He decries the lack of attention for games like Ueda’s The Last Guardian and Miyamoto’s Super Mario Bros. games and says that the existence and subsequent dismissal (in so many words) of these titles is undeniable evidence that the art of videogames is ruled by “killers” and not “poets”.
What I’m here to tell you is that this is bullshit."

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Sony fanboys need to grow up and get jobs so that they can experience other gaming platforms. Then they'll realize that The Last of Us is nothing more a linear shooter with low-res graphics and mediocre gameplay.
