Best remake of 2020 so far...

So the example of Modern Warfare... Using your description, it would make it a remake, despite the developers calling it a remaster?

Yeah... No.

My explanation is clear. And isn't arbitrary. And it's obvious you're being disingenuous about my analogy. 

I haven't played Modern Warfare or the remake, so I can't answer that.  I don't think the developer calling it a remaster necessarily makes a difference.  The terms may not be mutually exclusive, and Activision may simply have thought that was a better word for marketing.  Again, not having played the games, I can't speak to that example.

If that's not your position feel free to clarify it.  Does it indeed matter how much of the assets are redone?

If I'm missing something in your analogy, feel free to clarify.  I promise you I am doing my best to read your post charitably and interpret you to the best of my abilities.  I'm not going to accuse you of being unclear, but I will say I personally genuinely do not understand why the analogy is valid.  If you care about clarifying yourself do so.  If you just want to call me a liar, then whatever.   

Remade from scratch: Remake

Built upon to embellish: Remaster

Trials of Mana: rebuilt from scratch = Remake

Xenoblade Chronicles ~ Definitive Edition: Built upon to embellish = Remaster

It's really that simple.
