Why Remasters/HD versions are awesome.

There's nothing wrong with remakes or remasters, there is something wrong with doing one just a year after the original was released. It's a quick cash grab, and it shows that the company had little planned in terms of original content.

By what standard though? If people were asking for it, why not give them what they asked for?  

It's not necessarily the problem here, the problem is that Sony is spending a lot of money advertising an older game that they quickly remastered because they were ill prepared for the summer release period. If TLOU was just a side game with a release schedule of multiple new games, it would be fine. As it is, they are using a year-old title as their flagship title for the summer, which is a slap in the face for people who bought a PS4 for original content. Sure, 50% of people never owned a PS3, but what about the other 50% that already had one and want new games? That's the problem here.
