I agreed with you until this very point. And then you completly lost it.

A remake is a new game, deal with it.

No, it's not. Demon's Souls is a game from 2009 with updated graphics.

It's game design, its fundamental DNA is the same as it was over a decade ago. Chucking raytracing on it doesn't make it a new game, just like repainting an old house doesn't make it a new house.

Yeah no, in this case, they had to build a new house based on an old house miles away and had to recreate everything from scratch.

But hey, that's not the first time someone comes up with his opinions over the facts, we even got a guy explaining Smash Wii U wasn't a Wii U exclusive since there was the 3DS version too, and was the same game (despite being not)
