The game was previously thought to be a remake, but it seems like the project won’t be as grand as anticipated. This could mean that, mechanically, the game will be a remake, but at its core, it will remain untouched, which is the best I can ask for as a fan of the original game. Making it from scratch could have been a hit or miss, and a successful remaster can lead to other potential games with this IP.
Despite there being a silver lining for many fans, there appear to be almost an equal number of people who are unhappy with this news. One Twitter user replied to this announcement, “Literally, who requested a remaster over a remake?” Several people have written replies along the same lines.
Who asked for this?! A Remake would have been a lot better if it’s done in the same spirit. New content, new features, new gameplay mechanics, new… everything. Hope this switch to Remaster means less than what’s implied,” says KureinInSight.
