Would have been nice if that was clarified sooner... In a sense, everyone is thinking that this is either a remaster or a remaster, or just a port over the PS3 with "prettier graphics." It would have been nice had the clarification was there rather than everyone taking potshots as to what this was.
As for remake/remastered, part of me wonders if it really will just be the barebones and to not add in anything else new to it (which is probably what we're going to get). Either way though, I'm still excited for it and can't wait to play it.
