1) If they can be done by smaller teams than they're a low effort. WW HD was made in 6 months. It's a low effort.
People =/= Effort, the teams are smaller because you need less of certain people. You don't need the same number of programmers or riggers when you already have the model and code. You just need like one guy porting everything, doesn't mean its easier though. Recreating textures originally on a 480 system requires a lot more work when done for 1080.
2) They're much cheaper to produce than new games.
But they also make less money than new games and are much less risk. Hence the frequency, unless you have a lot of them their isn't very much profit.
I don't disagree with the concept of remasters, they make a lot of sense from a business perspective (see my 3 reasons). As a gamer though, I don't care much about them.
I call it spin because he's spinning. More than 90% of the PS3 owners didn't play Uncharted 3. If they weren't interested in it then, chances are they won't be interested in it now. Games don't start off with a 100% attach ratio lmao.
The uncharted collection is for PS4. The market demographics for the PS4 and PS3 are different from each other. Using the PS3's demographics to determine sales on PS4 doesn't make a lick of sense. And spinning what, exactly to be misleading he has to be misleading about "something"
You're not tearing down anything except your credibility with posts like that.
Because credibility on a forum where posters purport baseless, unsupported claims as gospel and people only believe what they agree with rather than do a simple google search, its 2015 we have google, you can see the cost of asset creation, and why Indies can program whatever they want, but need kickstarters for any significant asset development.
Oh and I'll lead you to this thread if you think Sony doesn't care about their first party line-up.

If this is PR, why wasn't that. Meanwhile, we have the sales showing how much people give a shit about Sony's self admitted lack of first party line up.
