Remaster is basically taking the old game and upping the resolution. Remake is taking the old game and re-creating it using a new engine and mostly new assets. Reboot is taking the old game and rethinking it from square one. This game is a REMAKE. |
No. Remastering is updating the audiovisual quality of a product (a movie, a song...), and in the case of videogames, the gameplay. The result is the same game as the original, but with improved assets. Wind Waker HD is a remaster. Ocarina of Time 3D is a remaster. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a remaster. Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) is a remaster.
A remake on the other hand takes heavy inspiration from the original product to create a new version of said product, but with a different take or taste. They are the same, yet different at the same time. Metroid Samus Returns is a remake, Pokémon HeartGold is a remake, Final Fantasy VII Remake it's... a remake.
A reboot is basically taking the name of the original work and some basic aspects of it to create an entirely different thing. Tomb Raider (2013) is a reboot, DOOM (2016) is a reboot, DmC: Devil May Cry is a reboot.
This game is a REMASTER. And just to clarify, I don't want to downplay it for being a remaster. Being a remake is not better or worse than being a remake. They are just different things. And you guys have to learn to adress things by what they are.
