Well it isn't that hard of a concept. Remaster is taking a game and upgrading the visuals. A remake is rebuilding an existing game from the ground up. RE2 remake shares very little with the original, other than story and basic design.  It clearly was redeveloped with all new graphics, sound and voice acting.  Even some gameplay elements were changed .  

Yeah, exactly.

I think people feel that a remaster has a negative connotation, and thus they don't like to use it with games they like. Remake  is perceived as something better, and this people tend to use it for games that don't deserve it to feel better about them.

It's very silly, but it happens a lot. And it's silly because being a remaster or a remake doesn't make a game better or worse. Just different...
