yeah it's like Halo. You can switch between original and remake.your logic is fucked up. in order to remaster old assets they'd need to make all new assets...right?
you said a remaster is improved resolution/fps. it also includes new models/textures. a remake is remaking the game. if you actually bothered to play the beta you'd see that the original game is still there and you can toggle between it and new visuals with the press of a button. so it's basically the same game but with a new visual layer over it. so it's a remaster.
anyway, we can argue all the live long day but if you take a look at the official diablo 2 site you can see that Blizzard (y'know the studio that made it) call it a remaster.
Diablo II: Resurrected
Evil is resurrected in the timeless action RPG classic Diablo II, and its acclaimed expansion Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, now remastered and upgraded.diablo2.blizzard.com
so...case closed. you're wrong. enjoy your day.
"in order to remaster old assets they'd need to make all new assets...right?"
WHAT ? No. wtf
You use original assets. When You remake all assets, then it's remake like Shadow of the Colossus or Demons Souls... there is original code running udnerneath but all assets are remade.
I don't give a crap how blizzard describes it. They are wrong. They made all new assets and 3d at that.
It is absolutely a remake. 110%. Original "art vision" is lost.
Remaster would be if they added widescreen and rerendered or upscaled the original sprites for higher resolution. Maybe modernized the controls
