Wattt? WW is a remake. Its not an HD collection, its a remake in HD |
No, it's a remaster. As in, they took the code from the original game and spruced it up to make it HD:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_The_Wind_Waker_HD
"In a Nintendo Direct presentation released on January 23, 2013, a high-definition remaster of The Wind Waker was announced for the Wii U, then slated for release in the fall of 2013.
The Wind Waker HD expands on the original with updated 1080p-resolution graphics,[9] an alternative lighting engine, as well as new gameplay features and modifications."
Just like the games in HD Collections are taking the code from the original game(s) and sprucing it up to make it HD:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ico_%26_Shadow_of_the_Colossus_Collection
"The core game and story for both Ico (2001) and Shadow of the Colossus (2005) remains unchanged with the remastered versions. For the remastering, both games have had a graphics overhaul to allow them to support modern high-definition displays up to 1080p. With the more powerful PlayStation 3, both games feature a fixed frame rate of 30 frames per second; the original PlayStation 2 version of Shadow was noted for pushing the limits of the older console and often suffered from framerate losses.[6] Both games support stereoscopic 3D, taking advantage of the original design of the games with considerations towards depth-of-field viewing as evidenced by the large landscapes. Both games in the collection support 7.1 surround sound."
Although Wind Waker HD added more, it's still merely a remaster. Not a remake. A true remake is something like Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen
"FireRed and LeafGreen were first announced in September 2003 as upcoming remakes of the original Pocket Monsters Redand Green games that were released in Japan in 1996.[15] Game director Junichi Masuda stated the new titles would be developed around the idea of simplicity,[16] as the game engine was a slightly modified version of the one used in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire."
i.e. games built from the ground up on a brand new engine, but based on an earlier game.
