A straight port is all TLOU is getting - the developer came out and said they already have assets drawn up for the original game that can be used on PS4. But that said, you're right.  Without more information from both developers on the amount of staff time being given to the projects, I am just speculating.

So the effort for the PS4 assets was already made prior to the PS3 version being released. But if it has better models, textures etc as well as a better resolution and frame rate. It's still been made with PS4 in mind, which makes it more than a straight forward upscale/HD port.

All this scenario would suggest was, Sony intended to push for the double dip all along. Maybe that's a shitty strategy like on disc DLC... But it doesn't mean the effort didn't go in, in the first place, it just makes me glad I didn't buy TLoU on PS3 last year with a new generation looming so close (same for GTAV in the 3rd party world). :)

You may well be right.  Personally I agree, the strategy is a bit douchy.  I did buy TLoU last generation and its astounding.

You just often find that fans of Sony games seem to think that Microsoft's first party is incapable of making astounding games.  Historically it would be fair to say MS has invested less in its first party (even if thats not longer fair to say).  But what they did invest was often gold.  With the possible exception of ODST I am able to look at the Halo main series and admit that every game was brilliant, even without being a big Halo fan.
