Do you know how much time and effort it takes to "remaster" a game? Eventhough they are not starting out from scratch it takes a lot of money to port a game like TLOU. We are talking about porting a game from one console to another console with a totally different architecture. Take Final fantasy X for instance. It took them nearly two years just to remaster that game and this game is not as demanding as TLOU. Upgrade program is great but not necessary. For those who already bought the game for the PS3 can either dish out another $50 to buy the game again for the PS4 or they can wait until the game goes into the bargain bin and buy it. Those are the consumer options and non of those options are mandatory.

TLOU was maybe the best game of last generation, Naughty Dog and Sony knows that. They also know that many Xbox fans became a PS4 fan and have not experience this game. So this is a great oppurtunity for those.

well.. truth be told, this game is releasing only 13 months after it was first released.  porting a game isn't an excuse to gouge your fans who more than likely already owns your games on last gen.  if you were to buy TLOU right now on ps3 + DLC, you are still paying a total of $50+ new.  where's the incentive to make the jump to the game on next gen if you are paying the same amount to get the same content you already have on last gen?  I understand the new user base and for the folks that didn't get to play it on last gen, but this is a disservice for those that did buy it last gen, but would love an HD port on the new system.  i'm not crying over anything, but if there is no upgrade option, then i might not even pick it up later even if its in the bargin bin, for why am i going to buy 2 of the same game with teh same content outside the visual/frame upgrade?
