And from the Wikipedia page it links to : "A port that contains a great deal of remade assets may sometimes be considered a remastering" The Wikipedia page is full of "citation needed" and has no definitive distinction between remakes, remasters or ports. Tbh I don't think there's a general consensus on when to use those terms. There's nothing that seems to be agreed upon. Hell Activision thinks Spyro is a "remaster". I'll just keep using my own definitions. Remake - An updated version of a game created from scratch. Remaster - An updated version of a game with new assets built on the foundations of the original. Port - An existing game moved to a new platform with no or very minimal changes to assets. |
True it also comes down to the era of gaming you're from remasters to me were always just the touch ups like TLOU and they were around even back in the 80s and 90s with one example being RE3 on DC they weren't even called remasters they were simply ports.
