Hmmmmm... which outlets are you referring to?  And why is his definition shit?

A remaster takes the game code and improves the stuff on top of it, visuals, UI, music, etc.

A remake is a game that is built from scratch, using the original game as general blue print.

Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, Yakuza Kiwami 1-2, Okami HD, Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered (which was handled pretty much the same way as Xenoblade Chronicles DE, with all of its assets being redone), are all remasters.

Trials of Mana, Ratchet & Clank, Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Resident Evil 2 and 3 are remakes.

You completely ignored the first question... But here are some sources that use the term remake.

Some, Gamespot and Engadget, has actually used both.  As far as I can tell, your claim that the majority of outlets call it a remaster is false.

As for the second, you're not explaining what's wrong with his definition, you're just giving an alternate definition.  Why is yours better?
