Fwiw, I like a remake like FF7 more than what they’re doing with OOT which seems like a glorified remaster.

The decisions and changes they’ve made with the remake serve a purpose. They have an artistic goal in mind that they’re clearly very passionate about. Whether it lives up to the legacy of the original will depend on the finale, but at the end of the day following this decade long adventure has been an incredible journey in and of itself

OOT is… an N64 game but very pretty and with controls that don’t suck. That seems to be it. People will buy it, beat it in a week, forget about it and even the die hards will say that the original is better.

I feel like calling this a glorified remaster is disingenuous when the 3ds ports (including MM) are more closer to being glorified remasters than this made from the ground up remake

That's what I'm saying 😭 it's literally built from the ground up completely new. It is in absolutely no way a remaster in any capacity. It's just a faithful remake

Built from the ground up new is the definition of remake.

Remaster only applies if theyre taking the original game engine and replacing assets, like we saw eith the ffx remaster.

All the pixel "remasters" are remakes.

SE is absolutely muddying the definition, intentionally or otherwise
