Can you show me how the remastering of TLOU affects the development of other games? Which game got canned? Which game was delayed?

Do you think The Last of Us for PS4 is porting itself over?  Resources and manpower are used regardless how you want to spin it.  Uncharted 4 is being made still because Naughty Dog has two teams, something which has been known since 2011.  So yes, the remastering of The Last of Us is effecting development of a new game.  If they weren't porting The Last of Us Remastered, they'd be working on another game, so they're delaying the development of whatever they would have had planned.

They are already working on another game. You are thinking about the 100-150 people that were working on the previous project are working on this? lol. 20-30 people tops. At most the other game would be released by a month late. They may even be hired for this project only. These projects are not piled up in the studio waiting for the people to be picked up anyway. It is not like not doing TLOUR would mean two new games. That is dumb unless you want them to recreate Tetris. 

There is also the technical aspect of it. Naughty Dog spent a lot of time creating tools for the PS3 while making the Drake's Fortune. Now they are gaining experience with the new hardware while making this game, which is already mostly done, reducing risks.
