Best remake of 2020 so far...

There is no reason to argue against facts.  It is not hard to understand the difference between rebuilding a game and simply porting over an existing game with HD textures to what is already there.  Not every remake has to stray from the source material and change up the gameplay to be considered what it is...a remake.

And what lot are you trying to associate me with?  I am just a gamer who owns and actively plays on every platform.  So please, spell it out for me.

So Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is in fact a remake, because they improved assets and added polygons here and there.

I see.

Not sure if willful ignorance or just spouting out nonsense here.

FFVIII remastered still uses the same assets.  They cleaned them up sure, but it was the same assets used throughout.  You can easily tell this by how they reused the same 2D backgrounds from the original.

Xenoblade Remake uses NEW assets throughout the game.  Rebuilt environments and buildings which makes it look completely different from the original in terms of quality.  New animations and special effects to go with new character models built from the ground up.  The game, unlike FFVIII Remastered, is a remake of the original.

Your own example only proves to strengthen my point.  Thank you for that.
