I wouldn't count it as a real remake than. It's only a remake, on the story end. I'd call it reimagining.

You are getting things mixed up, remakes include changes, they basicaly use the original as a guideline and rework it from the ground up. What you wanted was a remaster if you did not want anything to change at all.

Traditionally, a game has been considered a remake when it hasn't changed gameplay but has touched things like level geometry, graphics, and audio. A remaster is usually when you just increase the quality of assets without really touching the almost at all. That's not exactly a fully consistent definition, but it's how things have usually been, and it's how I, among others, understand it.
