then it's not a remake. It's a glorified port. Remaster if you really wanna be obtuse, I guess.

If it's literally the same game but prettier, then it is an objectively better game than the original.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_remake

A video game remake is a video game closely adapted from an earlier title, usually for the purpose of modernizing a game with updated graphics for newer hardware and gameplay for contemporary audiences. Typically, a remake of such game software shares essentially the same title, fundamental gameplay concepts, and core story elements of the original game, although some aspects of the original game may have been changed for the remake.[1]


In addition gameplay should not be drastically altered for it to be called a remake.

That is a reinvisioning or w/e, just not a remake.

sweetheart from the ground up = ideal woman

topic is dumb
who cares what its called
everyone and their mom releases a GOTY edition now
titles are meaningless
only ppl what have enough money not to care or ppl with poor judgment dont look at enough prerelease material to logically infer how much new work the dev has done

Same Game on Different Platform: If the original source code was available, then it's a port, otherwise it's a remake. You port code, not ideas.
Edit: ...and if the original binaries were used (e.g., most Namco Museums), it is probably emulation.

When I think "remaster", I think "cleaned up visuals for modern displays, maybe new textures, maaaaaaaybe some minor gameplay additions.

Remake can mean multiple things, but at the end of the day, a significant number of new assets had to be created, regardless of how close those assets are to the original.

The only really gray area is where "replicas" fit, where the original game is pretty much made a second time from scratch as close to original specifications as possible, because the original code/assets are lost or unusable. But these are pretty rare anyways so it doesn't really matter >_>

Sure, to use the technical definitions of the terms. But the technical level isn't as important as intended appeal, which in the overwhelming majority of "faithful" remakes is literally just to play the game on a different platform, aka a port, or if you really want to be obtuse about it, prettier graphics, aka a remaster.

Obviously (I hope?) there are specific technical definitions. But casually (and certainly in marketing), all them are blurry and roughly interchangeable. For me, it's just silly to claim that "port" applies to ideas, and not strictly code/binaries, because it would render large areas of IT discussion (namely, "portability") suddenly confusing, if not meaningless. But I accept that we live in a world where, "lite" <> "light", AWD <> 4WD, and (*ducks*) Assault Weapon <> Assault Rifle.
