There were many naysayers about doing this graphical remaster given the fact that the PS3 version was just released a year ago. I am not of that opinion though. Here is why I think TLoU PS4 Remastered is the right thing at the right time, written by a PS3 owner who has played the PS3 version barely a few months ago.
TLoU Remastered on PS4:
- gave naughtydoggies a great opportunity to do exploratory work on the PS4 hardware adapting some of their latest in-house tech and developing new ones on PS4 platform
- new PS4 owners (that haven't owned PS3 or played TLoU) a great experience with the definitive version
- great new TLoU PS4 bundle with an award-winning game
- help Sony filled in the summer gap, the typically slow period in terms of game releases
Unfortunately for PS3 owners who owns and played the game recently, Sony did not offer up any trade-up or rebate for them to double-dip (ie. repurchasing a game they already played albeit on an older platform).
For that, I will have to wait a bit longer for my purchase, to dive back into the world of Joel and Ellie, and try out the unique experience offered in the Factions, TLoU's take on multiplayer, in the cordyceps-filled post-apocalyptic world. Possibly when TLoU Remastered joins the PS4 Hits or if I managed to snag a used copy for cheap. Luckily though, I am looking at fantastic games line-up on the horizon.

Valid points indeed. Is it worth it to wait? But if you have other games you want to finish playing first then by all means wait. :)
There are definitely other games to finish, especially on PS3.
The only downside that I can think of is that there maybe less people playing the multiplayer on PS4 by then.
If like that better to get onto the band wagon while it is hot. Must play when more people are playing.
