We need to start splitting remakes into 3 categories

Remaster = bring the game to a modern platform and doing the bare minimum of cleaning up the game

EXAMPLE: Super Mario 3D All Stars. They didn’t do anything to it expect some minor things and minor graphic updates

Remake = building an old game from the ground up. New assets for everything. Basically a brand new game except they have source material to work with

EXAMPLE: Spyro Trilogy, Crash Trilogy. The EXACT original games, with a new coat of paint

Reimagining: technically a “remake” but they change the story and gameplay. A rework of what the original game was and flip it on its head. Has the same spirit of the game but different

EXAMPLE: FF7R, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4. They’re similar to their original game. But like I said, the gameplay can be completely different like FF7R and the story was similar to the OG but changed. Or RE4. Gameplay changed, story reworked, old levels and new levels added. It’s. Anew damn game

Overall, those 3 categories should be considered different and treated differently

I saw the rumor was it’s gonna be a Mini. Or is that a separate rumor?

That’s just semantics and it was wholly irrelevant to our discussion which is why it’s pedantic and weird for that poster to obsess over how different the remake trilogy is, the word remake does not contain some meaning that says it has to be exactly like the game it’s a remake of

Remakes can range from extremely faithful to a near complete reimagining

The differences in FF7R are SIGNIFICANTLY more drastic than anything in RE2 or RE4 remakes. Which is why it's silly to group them together. Narratively, FF7R is a sequel to the original game. Not as in a fan-contextual way -- literally within the context of the game, it is a sequel to all Final Fantasy 7 media. It takes place post-Advent Children. Characters acknowledge this. The game acknowledges this. What else do you call a game that continues the story of a previous game? It's not a reimagining that acts as if the original game never occurred and simply tells the story in a different way. 7R and the characters within it LITERALLY acknowledge events that occurred at the end of the original game.

Whyd you say PS-only and then list a bunch of multiplats

Look at the Another Code Recollection coming this month

In the Direct it was announced in, Nintendo called it a “remaster”

Watch this video

This is NOT a remaster

It’s a full ass remake
