It's basically a game of the year edition, except on a different console. Can't really complain but it is certainly no reason to get a PS4.

Yeah, it's still the same game, so? Can people not replay games? I don't wanna appear aggressive but seriously it's a brilliant game with a lot of followers, so why shouldn't some of those followers want to replay it with better graphics and framerate.
Or is the reason just that the game is only a year old? Is it justified to want to replay a ten year old game with better graphics but not a one year old game with better graphics? Who makes that decision?

Except TLoU is a game that was released a year and a half ago with no original plans to bring it to the PS4. The new "remastered" version is only a graphics increase with DLC. Meanwhile, WWHD is a decade old game which was truly remastered, and GTA4 was planned to come to the nextgen platforms regardless.
The bottom line is this: TLoU: RM is a port. No more and no less. When people get excited for a port, thats when you know they have no games to play.
It's meant to appeal to the new adopters (from wii-360 to PS4) and to people that will buy the game again to play it in 1080 p 60fps.
I'm just sad of this needing to exist, if the PS4 had backwards compatibility, this wouldn't be necessary. Consoles are advancing day by day while at the same time not being able to play older games. Most of PS3 abandoned the option to play PS1 and PS2 games, half the DS models didn't alow GBA gaes, PS4 has no backwards option, the XBox brand has yet to make a backwards compatible system...
I understand the GCube and the Vita because they changed format completely, there is a hardware reason (hell, in the SNES/Genesis era you could play older games thanks to add-ons) PS4 and XBone, as powerful and capable as they are, don't give you the option to play your older games, so you have to re-purchase them digitally or in remastered versions. So sad.

So you think it'll be exclusively bought by people that played the game on PS3 before? Highly unlikely imo. |
not exclusively, but the opposite effect of switchers from 360 towards the ps4 won't be the major drive either
edit: purely speculating

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Backwards compatibiliy is stupid.

Why not? An X360 user who is debating moving into 8th gen, this could be an enticing exclusive, a game acclaimed by critics and users alike. And with a great deal on a bundle, at least in Europe, this could sell really well.
Also, Sony has stated that 30% of PS4 users are new to the brand, so there's an already existing base of some 2 million people. If the game sells to only 20% of them, the game will sell 400K, and Sony will make a neat bundle of cash for a very affordable investment. And I think nobody expects the sales to be that low.

I came here to post this, then realized i must have already done so as my alter ego in my sleep while in a state of euphoria!!!
I for one didn't buy the last of us or GTAV cause I had a feeling they were coming to the PS4. With the amount of PS2 remasters it was kinda a no brainer. Now all they have to do is announce beyond two souls too... since i skipped that one too.

Meh, it's a decent game. As someone else said it's kind of like a game of the year edition. I don't see any reason to get excited about that. If you want to play it fine, but yea nothing too exciting.
