Remasters aren't inherently bad, but the quantity of them is ridiculous. That's not just Sony, but as a whole. The pricing model is also getting shittier. Last gen, the tendency was collections with 3 games or so, and often at a value price. One game at full price is a shitty value considering that remasters take considerably less effort. There are I believe at least 30 remastered games so far. Now, if there was also a lot of truly great next gen content available, that'd be one thing, but that hasn't been the case. The problem is less with the remasters themselves, and more about people not feeling that their console purchase has been justified yet.
Anyway, as for the original topic, you can also throw Street Fighter IV on that list, as that was a Sony developed port. On the Vita side, Borderlands and Epic Mickey 2 were done by Sony (why they wanted to port Epic Mickey 2 of all games baffles me).
