Retro specialist Nightdive explains the difference between a ‘remake’ and ‘remaster’5th Sep 2022 / 11:31 amRetro games specialist Nightdive Studios has explained the difference between video game remakes and remasters, according to its own definition.
Re-releases of older games have become a mainstay on the video games calendar in recent years, but there does not appear to be much cohesion in the language used to describe them.“It’s really tough, isn’t it? We’ve tried to come up with a definition internally,” CEO Stephen Kick told VGC. “Then we’ve got games like Shadowman, which we consider a true remaster. We did all that all that quality of life stuff and got it running smoothly at 60fps, but then we did art on top of that; new textures, new models and even went so far as to work with the original developers to implement stuff that got left on the cutting room floor.
Despite the frequent debates on forums and social media over what defines a remaster vs remake, Nightdive’s kick told VGC he does believe the public is starting to appreciate the amount of work required to create either.
