I keep seeing people complain all over the internet how these "HD remakes" are nothing special and barely change the original games. Well, of course they don't! It's not a remake. A remake is a complete rework of a game. What these HD versions are is a reMASTER, not a reMAKE. They are two completely different things and should not be mixed, ever.
Let's look at some popular examples, shall we? Look at Resident Evil (1996) on the original PlayStation. Now look at Resident Evil (2002) on the GameCube. That's a remake. See the difference? Use google or something, I don't care.
Allright, now that that part is out of the way, look at any game released on the PS2 ported to PS3 with "HD" slapped in the title. That's a remaster. It's literally the same game with absolutely nothing changed apart from graphics and maybe some control issues. Look at every last gen game ported to current gen consoles. It's the same game but prettier. It's not a remake, it's a remaster.
In short, if the game was remade from ground up, that's a remake. If it is literally the same game with nothing changed but prettier, that's a remaster. Now, if you ever have, stop saying "HD remake". Thank you.
If you understand all this, congratulations, you're not an idiot.
So you're telling me that DayZ isn't a remake of the 1978 cult classic Romero film Dawn of the Dead? Damn.
