It makes sense business wise for Sony to put out LoU but it also makes sense for people to complain about it if it bothers them.

I know if I were a PS4 owner going through a retail game drought and the only game on the horizon was a re-release of a less than a year old PS3 game I wouldn't be too pleased.

Why?

I just bought Dynasty warriors 8: Extreme legends for ps4 to ease the wait for Watch dogs. I had not played it yet on ps3 and it runs very well with so much action on screen I can't help but grin at the mess.
Beyond 2 souls already looks better on ps3 than Dynasty warriors on ps4, so why not a ps4 version for those who haven't played it yet, and for those who like to play a different path through the game in 1080p maybe a few years later when it goes for cheap. It's not like it's bundled with the system driving up the price. Why complain about something you don't have to buy.

Because of the next part after where you bolded.

So you haven't played DW8. What about someone who has played LoU and doesn't care to play it again? Maybe they want a new title from Sony and not a rehash. It's a perfectly logical reason to not be satisfied as a customer. Not saying it's a big deal, haven't seen anyone make it a big deal. But it's a valid complaint.

If MS has nothing in store this holiday season except a Halo 2 rehash, I will not be happy. Same logic applies here.

Like the jest of the OP, does it bother people that movies are re-released, does that prevent new movies from being made. It's usually not the same people that do the port. Definitely not the design team, artists, motion capture department, sound engineers, etc. It takes very little resources to make a port. It's a good project to get familiar with the hardware, get new people familiar with the engine, and make some extra cash that can be invested in the next project. How can anyone be against that? It's not new game or old game, it's bigger budget new game and better looking old game.

Halo 2 is diffferent, that's a remake, a lot more work. TLOU, Beyond 2 Souls, Tombraider, Dynasty warriors 8, merely and increase in resolution, framerate and some aspects of the engine cranked up. Big difference.
