Neumi5694: They would never be able to please everyone. So for me it's definitely not a Remaster and Reboot is a strong word as well. System Shock Remake fits perfectly here.Īnd there is one game called Shadow of the Colossus, originally released for PS2.įor better or for worse the port to PS3 is a Remaster, but the game for PS4 is a Remake because Bluepoint Games remade most of the game assets from the groun up but the game retained the original feel. Some minor changes to the core game might be done of course, but nothing major.īlack Mesa (Half-Life), Doom 3 (Doom), Metroid: Zero Mission (Metroid), Final Fantazy 7 Remake (FF7) are some of the better known examples for Remake.

Remaster can't provide anything more than a base game with better compatibility and enhanced graphic plus bonus materials. Remake means a game was created from a ground up with OR without any significant changes to the end product usually fueled by the power of modern tech.įor example in addition to a more powerful game engine and graphical effects, there may be added enemies, tweaked puzzles, retconned / enlarged lore, secret areas, director's cut materials, bonus quests and even a complete change of characters' roles (looks) and events. Unless you really want them to call it a Reboot.Īnd with the upcoming System Shock 2 EE | VR plus the System Shock 3 game technically wasn't canceled to this day, it's hardly a Reboot either. Why is that? It's definitely not a Remaster either. FrodoBaggins: What really annoys me, is that they keep calling it a remake.
