More excited for Super Mario Wonder than Super Mario RPG (lemmy.world)

Anyone else more excited for Super Mario Bros Wonder then the Super Mario RPG remake? I didn't really think it needed a remake. You can play it everywhere. Pretty sure it's on Nintendo Online and then there is the SNES classic too. The graphical style in which high def models are turned into sprites are just so mid-90's. Replacing those with just generic HD Mario models seem a little lackluster or boring.

I honestly don't care for remakes... I'm a fan of remasters when they're done right though. I think Super Mario Bros Wonder looks very creative in gameplay and animation. I think the game may also have weirded people out a bit, and that may be why no one is talking about it. I really hope it succeeds, I feel Nintendo has been lacking creativity recently (that's just my opinion though)

What would you say the difference between a remake and a remaster is? Seem the same to me.

A remake changes little about the original game, only the graphics and sometimes the platform. A remaster enhances some of the weaker points of the game like map design, combat, and many other things. I'll use some examples. In the Halo Master Chief Collection, the only change in the original Halo game was the graphics (you could even switch between the old and new graphics with the tab key) In Black Mesa (a remaster of Half-Life) the game not only improved the graphics, it also improved upon the enemy AI, battlefields (even maps in general), and weapons. It also linked the story closer to Half-Life 2 and entirely re imagined Xen. So it's all really what changes are made.

Other way around. A remake is just that, a remake of the original game from the ground up. A remaster is just touching up the graphics.

Oops, mixed it up. I guess a lot of game studios are mixing it up too, because most studios are calling remasters remakes.
