Halo 2 is the only remake, and it's a simple remake. It's a graphical update and nothing more. It's more than a remaster, but it's not an enhanced remake like Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collection with extra dungeons, characters, and it's certainly not a full remake like Wild ARMs Alter Code F, Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together, X-COM, etc, where there's the exact same progression, but things that make it feel like you're playing what's mostly a brand new game.
It's not a remaster. It'd be nothing more than the original textures updated to 1080p resolution much like games DMC Collection, Ico/SotC, Jak and Daxter Trilogy, etc were brought to 720p, or The Last of Us brought to 1080p. Both fanbases are wrong. One side is saying that it's more than what it actually is, the other side is downplaying it saying that it's the same game upgraded to 1080p. |
Well i consider remakes to be an original game to be remade starting from scratch, not using the original game and adding to it, i consider that remastering. But it's hard to choose between remaster or remake when it comes to Halo 2 as it looks significantly different to the original but it is the same game being enhanced by upgrading the visual's and sound etc. But i think we should give a new name for games like Halo 2 in the future and that should be 'remakester'. :D
But all the cutscenes have been completely remade.
