Well, I still struggle to get the point of GUN on 360, so yes, I struggle to get the point of TLOU Remastered :P

I guess the point is that a remastered port is literally better than nothing and better for consumers then including a 200$ ps3 in the PS4.

Its not like its replacing a game, if Naughty Dog didn't release this, then they wouldn't release anything for the PS4 until 2015 at the earliest. And with the PS4 having no gaems, this is clearly not an option.

The PS3 game could be a download for PS+ subscribers...

Which still cannot be played on a PS4.

They cant make a PS3 game as a PS4 download...?

Being digital just changes the storage medium, the game is still PS3 code which is designed to run on PS3 hardware. Since the PS4 uses completely different architecture, it either has to be emulated, which requires hardware that is at least 200+ in the ps4(alot more power in the system to emulate via software or an actual PS3's cell to emulate via hardware), or it has to be recoded or ported to the PS4.

Sure they could port it as is to the PS3, but the advantages they have of remastering it are very substansial for a very minor added cost.

In other words, they could sell like 15, 000 copies for 30 bucks for a PS3 game on a PS4 or 

they could sell 900,000+ copies for 50 bucks for a PS3 game that looks like a PS4 game
