Last Of Us remake animator hits back at cash grab complaints
As fans remain divided on the Last Of Us remake, one of the game’s animators has refuted criticism of it being a mere cash grab.
Even if its announcement hadn’t been leaked prior, capping off the Summer Game Fest presentation with the remake of The Last Of Us would have elicited the same level of apathy from a sizable chunk of the audience.
Officially titled The Last Of Us Part 1, there are two major points of contention people have with the remake.

Robert Morrison, who was a cinematic animator for the remake at PlayStation Studios Visual Arts, issued a defence of the remake on his personal Twitter, saying ‘Actually it’s the most meticulously built and crafted project that I have ever seen or been a part of in my entire career. The highest level of care and attention to detail possible.’
He briefly touches on the game’s price tag as well, saying that it’s ultimately up to the individual whether they think it’s worth it.
‘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,’ he says. ‘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.’
Morrison has been working as an animator within the games industry since the late 90s, with credits including Capcom’s Resident Evil 7 and the 2018 God Of War.
