Comment on Remaster of the legendary Defender of the Crown game is being developed by a Ukrainian studio
Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’d say remaster to remake exists on spectrum. On one side you can have a “strict” remaster with graphical / modern compatibility updates and bugfixes, on the other side you can have what is essentially a different game, but one with common gameplay/themes/narrative. And then you have everything in-between.
Haven’t played the original, so it’s difficult for me to accurately judge, but I think this is some what universal.

To me there is a clear distinction between both types. Sometimes it gets blurry if they use different techniques from both sides. There is also the term “Port”, which is less of a “Remaster”. So its even more blurry, even when I try to formally describe it. Here is my definition:
Off course this is just one mans definition. And both terms are used somewhere in between, and people don’t share my opinion. Therefore I never know if the game is a Remaster or Remake actually.
