As animator Robert Morrison said when responding to statements of the game being “just a cash grab,” “The price of the game is out of my control and worth is subjective to each individual. You can decide for yourself if you want it or not. All I’m saying is I am in awe of the work that an amazing group of people did on the project. A tremendous amount of passion was put into it.” So regardless of whether it’s “needed” or not, it ultimately comes down to whether you want to re-experience the journey of Joel and Ellie with better graphics now, further down the line or never. Nothing more, nothing less.
