They're actually remaking textures and changing lighting.  Not saying it should take more than a year.  God of War is just a straight port.

I'm not sure that's a really wise business decision. The main appeal of the HD version is to be able to replay the games on new hardware with slightly better visuals.  I don't think the fact they improved textures and lighting will bring in that much more buyers.

Who knows who made that decision.  Best case scenario is that they already had the textures when they were making the game and are just putting them in.  Lighting shouldn't be too much of an issue.  It really depends how these games are ported.  I'd personally love an actual remake.  They're spending the time anyways, Luca can use a complete revamp.

A full-on remake? Fuck that. I don't trust SE to do anything that extensive in a timely manner anymore--and I worry about what they'd do to the game with a fresh start. I don't want them to go any further than this.
