How does Naughty Dog even fit this? The only thing they've even done is The Last of Us Remastered which was fair since it was critically and commercially acclaimed and came right at the end of the last gen so giving it the 1080p/60fps treatment as an early current gen title was fair. It's just like what Rockstar did with GTA V, it came at the tail end of last gen so it deserved to be brought over to current gen. And we know in the case of both games they always intended to make current gen versions.

And Naughty Dog didn't do the Nathan Drake collection, that was Bluepoint Games and considering Uncharted 4, the end of the franchise, for Naughty Dog was coming out, was a hugely hyped PS4 title and with how the PS4 was mopping the floor with Xbox in terms of sales you know a lot of people who didn't have PS3's have a PS4. Plus Sony even said that part of their marketing strategy was targeting people who didn't own a PS3 last gen. So I don't know how you can consider the Nathan Drake Collection a lazy remaster when it gave a quality 1080p/60fps treatment to an acclaimed PS3 exclusive franchise that was getting it's conclusion on PS4 which was being hyped as possibly the biggest/best PS4 exclusive and it was outsourced to another company so they didn't divert any resources from Uncharted 4 development or the small team that was undoubtedly already starting TLoU 2 early pre production.
I think a lazy remaster would be not working on anything new and just remaking a past success game, not really giving full attention to detail and redoing all the textures and everything but just redoing main textures then upscaling other stuff then charging $60 for it and just milking a past success for more money.
