When The Last of Us PS5 remake was shown off to fans, there was a mix of excitement with a bit of disappointment. Some were happy to see that the game was getting a visual overhaul along with other updates. However, others found the graphics of The Last of Us to be better than its remake, comparing images from both games online to see which was better. This has led to some believing that the remake is nothing more than a cash grab.

However, one Naughty Dog developer has taken offense to these claims. Robert Morrison, an animator at Naughty Dog who worked on The Last of Us PS5 remake along other titles like Resident Evil 7, Injustice 2, and the 2018 God of War reboot, has stated on Twitter that the remaster is the “most meticulously built and crafted project” he has ever been a part of. Morrison also claims that the “highest level of care and attention to detail” has been put into Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us PS5 remake.

The Last of Us fans in the comments of Morrison’s post were mostly supportive of the animator, with some saying they’ll pick up the game when it releases in September. There were some that questioned the price of the game, which Morrison said was out of his control. Others in the comments still held onto the belief that The Last of Us PS5 remake could have reimagined the original game or have given it more major changes.

There were those that claimed The Last of Us didn’t even need a remake, as the graphics of the original still hold up. While some agreed with this sentiment, others pointed out that while the pre-rendered cutscenes had withstood the test of time, the other visual elements of The Last of Us had not held up. It is clear to see the improvements in at least some of The Last of Us PS5 remake’s visuals. Tess looks completely overhauled in The Last of Us remake, for example.

The Last of Us Part 1 is scheduled to release on September 2 on PS5. A PC version is also in development.
