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.
