This seems to be a semi-common occurrence with HD facelifts. The characters get more detailed but lose the ability to emote.

This is the new Fatal Frame remaster. Wii above, PS/Xbox/Switch/PC below

      Lol, I'm being mostly facetious.

      It kinda gets to my point though. All stars isn't really a remaster, anymore than a 3d version made in mario maker engine would be a remaster. It's a remake. An incredibly close and true to the original remake, but still a remake in the same way a shot for shot remake of a movie would be.

        Some releases definitely do fit the bill of a remaster, but unfortunately both publishers and games media have muddied the waters by throwing around the terms remaster and remake haphazardly.

        The MGS HD Collection released back in 2011? Definitely a remaster- it was just the original three games uhh, I mean 2, 3 and Peace Walker in HD (sidenote: I hate incomplete video game "collections" that have giant obvious gaps in them :guts-rage: ).

        I think this Project Zero remaster falls mostly in line with other remasters like the 2016 Resident Evil 1 Remake and Zero remasters.
