That's my take on this. I wanted Twilight Princess to get an awesome full-blown remake, not just a cheap remaster with HD rendering and textures. Hell they didn't even improve the lighting and colors, which they did for The Wind Waker - which clearly didn't need them as much.

You see, when I was watching the Direct and the TPHD footage was replaced with Zelda Wii U footage, it really felt to me like going forward 10 years in time, and that... that just shouldn't be happening with a remake, man. It just shouldn't. A remake is supposed to update a game so that it looks good (or at least acceptable) for today's standards, not just "better" than the original.

Ugh. At this point I'd even be fine if they just improved the lighting and colors to make the game look more vibrant. I don't even demand upgraded models anymore. And I hope they do the soundtrack justice - I know for a fact they won't bother to give it what it deserves (a live orchestra), but I really hope if it has to be MIDI, they make it sound good.

You said, this isn't remake, its HD port.

People need to realise that original game looks horrible, WW looks miles better, and in remaster TP couldnt look great like WW HD because of art style, for something like that TP would need full remake, not simple remaster.

Saying that, I agree that TP HD looks considerably better than the original, but because art style WW HD looks great event for today standards (actually I think it's one of the best looking game this gen), that isn't case for TP HD.
