Arguing semantics is what I do best ��

Back to the "NnT isn't a HD remake despite being a remake in HD" debate
Also, remaster is not the same thing as remake, the same way as a rerecorded album isn't the same as remastered album. |
I think Lorne wanted NnT not to be referred as a HD remake because of how much that term tossed around lot lately. HD Remakes are usually just the same game with higher resolutions or high quality models and textures. (Ratchet, Jak and Team Ico PS3 ports for example)
NnT was 100% remade from the ground up. And apart from obviously being used as a reference. I don't think anything was used from the original game at all. So having ground up remakes being classed as just another HD Remake might give a false impression of the title. Not to mention devalue the efforts of the developers. |
They were HD remasters, not HD remakes.
|
Either or. They both referred to the same thing usually. At least, for what I've seen.
The terms are barely different really, and that's what confuses people. |
A remake to redo a previous project from scratch.
A remaster to is use the previous project (usually with the original engine) as a base and enhance it. What's there not to understand? It's simple EDIT: You know what? Let's make it even simpler: http://pauseyourgame.com/2015/03/a-d...-hd-vs-remake/ |
We've discussed this several times. It doesn't matter what the words actually mean - they've been used and misused in many different ways over the years. We all know what OWI meant, so why the hell are you still quibbling?
|
Because at this point, Nate, the forum has decayed so entropically that debating semantics is a genuine topic for discussion.
|
Not when they've been discussed a billion times already.

:
New 'N' Tasty is a fucking remake you shits. Edit: Oh, sorry Nate. Don't be mad. |
A colleague forwarded this today. Somehow I think points 4, 5 and 6 are relevant here:

So as the last few members of a dying forum we are sabotaging ourselves...nice
|
Yep, that's exactly my point.
|
Actually, it's more like we're clinging on to the last clumps of life we've got left. Someone should unplug us and put our suffering to an end.
|
Alcar would certainly turn the OWF's life support off, but it requires a tiny bit of effort. We know Alcar hates making efforts.
|
Isn't paying for it every month even more effort?
|
I bet he has a credit card and it all goes fully automatic
|
Direct debit for OWF.
We should make our own forum. :( |

Hm, would the new forum be a remake or a remaster of OWF though? :p
Edit: YAY for four fingers, screw the Japs! |
