Some of you have your definitions crossed as remaster means improving visual and audio quality for most part, a remake goes deeper than that with assets being redone and such and not everything has to be redone as a remake is taking anything currently existing and modernizing it. REmake2 and LA are remakes yes but they're not the only standard of remakes as a remake doesn't have to be made from scratch, XBC is a REmake so far from what is seen as a lot more than improving the visual and audio quality is being done to it such as new character models, redone textures, new lighting, cut content being added in etc... That is simply not a remaster as some of you are trying to put it as even the geometry in some environments has been changed and it becomes more apparent in the comparison videos.

Here we can see the environmental changes as graphically it differs significantly a bit.

The video screams remaster to me. Reminds me of TLoU on the ps4, same as the original, just prettier. Not a remake at all, at least in my book. Too each their own.

Guys, does it matter? However you call it, remaster or remake, doesn't it look like a great modernization of one of the best RPGs of all time?

My honest take is the characters look massively improved but the environments leave a lot to be desired.  Everything still looks very low textured and frankly even low resolution.  Granted we have only seen a very brief trailer, so it is hard to say.  But thus far, again it is early, I am not blown away.  At least not anywhere close to how I felt seeing Wind Waker HD or Link's Awakening for the first time.
