I know apparently Last of Us was a great game, but it just came out less than a year ago and it's already getting a remaster.   Is it really that important to play a game again and spend another $65+ dollars already just for enhanced graphics?

It worked for Tomb Raider. And honestly, it's no different than having a last gen port coinciding with a current gen version of a game (e.g. Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc.)

Not really a remaster just an port of a popular game, can easily be upgraded to HD since it was developed on PS3 I also expect the loading to be much quicker.

It's supposed to have the DLC bundled in with some fancier graphics. It may exist to justify the PS3 version still selling at full retail.

Coming up, I think the PS4 will have enough other titles coming up for it that the game will get lost in the shuffle and not sell more than 2 million tops lifetime.

I think the title will find greater success as a PSNow title.

To be honest I just see this as a GOTY edition...Except it's for a completely different console.

Most GOTY editions just offer up all the DLC and charge 60$. With this you're getting the DLC and improved graphical fidelity (Possibly Framerate as well).

You're not forced to purchase it, so I don't see a problem with it.

Selling two million for just porting a game they'd otherwise make little money on.  Why wouldn't they spend the money to do so. 

The port more than likely won't cost them more than a few million and even if they get one million in sales at MSRP, they're making around $40 million in profit.

Its nice for people who own a PS4 but didnt have a PS3, for example people who upgraded from 360 to PS4.

Loading? The Last of Us, like all the Uncharted games, doesn't have load times does it?

So firstly this can be looked at as a GOTY Edition.
Secondly this is great for those who never owned a PS3 or those who didnt buy it for PS3.
Thirdly why the fuck not?? We port games to different consoles all the time and they dont always launch at the same time.

Maybe a couple sections here and there, but TBH I've played the game three times and I don't even think I've ever noticed a loading screen. They're usually only for when starting a cutscene or ending one, and they take maybe 5 seconds at most to load up.
