There’s a huge problem that people face when it comes to understanding the differences between a Remaster and a Remake. Sometimes developers and publishers make it hard to tell the difference, too. Recently, Nintendo launched a remaster of Metroid Prime for the Nintendo Switch, but it was very close to a remake with its numerous changes.

The Alan Wake Remaster was nothing but a few minor changes that did not go beyond a resolution upgrade. These are remastered, though; a remake is a game developed from the ground up using modern technologies.

The best example of a modern remake is the recently released Resident Evil 4 Remake by Capcom. A game made from the ground up, keeping modern technology and sensibilities in mind.

This is what rumors say Rockstar is doing with the upcoming Red Dead Redemption game. They are remaking it from the ground up, and they are working very hard to make sure that it makes its release sometime this year.
