    Infoslide

    Video game remasters are newly released versions of old games with improved graphics and stability, designed to allow players to relive a classic game. They seek to preserve as much of the experience as possible, applying minimal changes to mechanics, content, and feel.

Remakes, in contrast, rebuild the game from the ground up, applying significant changes beyond just updating the graphics, reserving the core themes and characters of the original game while offering a fresh experience. Gameplay mechanics may be modernized or overhauled, and new content such as levels, characters, or quests may be added. Sometimes they even change the story, alter dialogues and change narratives. The market for game remakes and remasters has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by both consumer demand and advancements in technology.
