“Fans” annoyed that The Last of Part 1 Remake has the same animations as the original game

It was just the other day when, during the MonkeyPox apocalypse, that I decided that I really should change just how I smash an infected Monkeypoxxer with a baseball bat. I was half way through my normal swing, which began with the bat over my right shoulder when it occurred to me that I really should mix things up.

Quickly dodging backwards to avoid a bite from the infected – a Sainsbury’s employee who was wearing a polite “My name is Susan, can I help you?” badge – I tossed the bat in the air and caught it with my left hand. “Let’s give Susan a proper send off!” I thought as she screamed in rage at me. I swung the bat with gusto.

I completely missed timed the shot as I’m right handed and there was no power to the blow so Susan chewed my face off.

Damn you Monkeypox.

So, anyway, some footage of The Last of Us Part 1 remake has leaked and you will be shocked to hear that it looks just like The Last of Us Part 1, just a bit better. Joel and Ellie move exactly like Joel and Ellie should move and have the same animations as the did in the original game.

Because they are Joel and Ellie, not someone else who has a different style of fighting. 

For some reason some delightful people on the internet think that for the remake Joel and Ellie should not move like Joel and Ellie, because that means Naught Dog have been incredibly lazy and have not made new animations for them. The phrase “cash grab” has been tweeted in reference to unchanged animations.

In fairness, Sony have said this is “complete remake of The Last of Us” which may lead some people to think the entire game has been remade, but I think my little story above gives a fairly decent reason why Joel should swing a baseball in exactly the same manner as has always done.
