If its a re-imagining or reboot they should say so.

Calling it a remake and then going and changing everything is gonna end up badly.


Nem too? 

That is the point of remake. 

 

Reboot -  a discarding of much or even all previous continuity  in the series, to start anew. Effectively, all previously known fictive history is declared by the writer(s) to be null and void, or at least irrelevant to the current storyline, and the series starts over.

Remake -Â  generally used in reference to a movie which uses an earlier movie as the main source material, rather than in reference to a second, later movie based on the same source.

Reimagining -Â  remakes that do not closely follow the original. The term is used by creators in the marketing of films and television shows to inform audiences that the new product is not the same as the old. Reimaginings often contain tongue in cheek references to the original with characters and concepts of the same name, but significantly changed.

 

It for sure isn't a reboot, but I don't know if it is exactly a remake if they change the soul of a game (remakes that do not closely follow the original), which is gameplay (which I think they will).

By the way I agree with you in the sense that is really remake than the other two or three words.
