video game remake
Definition
A redeveloped version of an existing video game, rebuilt from the ground up with updated graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, modern controls, and often additional content to refresh the original experience for contemporary players.
Distinguished from a remaster, which primarily enhances audiovisual assets without altering core design, a remake typically involves significant redesign to leverage new technology and hardware capabilities.
