They know a straight port across console generations can't be sold at full price without controversy. So they slap the word "remaster" on it (which has no actual definition and is purely marketing wank) and sell it at full price to milk the last bits of blood from that stone.
I don't know how this is better than just making "The Last of Us 2: Director's cut" or "Definitive Edition" but I'm not one of the geniuses behind Playstation "not designed to make a profit" Portal
This is just marketing attempting to be clever.
