While I agree it's going to be a great game, I don't think that's relevant to whether it is a remake or a remaster.

I'm not against building up hype for a game, especially one from my favourite dev team of all time. But don't be pretentious by trying to call it something that it's not.

I thought this whole thing started with annoying "It's a remake!" people yelling at me for calling it a remaster earlier in this thread. But apparently they had been yelling at other people about it too, all over the internet, like a raving bunch of lunatics.

Anyway, in the end, reviews confirm it is a remaster, not a remake.

And directly from the horse's mouth, Tetsuya Takahashi describes the remastering process:

"Anyways, I'm going to make a general rule that as for this thread, either remake or remaster is an acceptable label for the game, and any further debate over it will constitute derailing and lead to a thread ban. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and is just ruining the thread for the majority of people who couldn't care less and want to actually discuss the game. If you feel that passionately about it, feel free to make another topic devoted to arguing that point."

My apologies, I didn't read that.
