And it's an enhanced port of an old PS2 game. It's not a brand new exclusive.
a "port" means that it is the same game, only transferred to a different system.
"enhanced port" means that the same game was transferred to a different system, while also receiving touch-ups to things already in the game.
an example of an enhanced port is okami HD.
there are too many changes to the game to consider persona 4: golden an enhanced port. it is a remake.
I strongly disagree. There are no fundamental changes to the game. You could make a better case for a game like MGS3:Subsistence being a remake because its new camera fundamentally alters the gameplay of Snake Eater, yet that's rarely considered a remake.
So you're telling me that a camera change makes it a remake more so than the changes P4G has? I call bs on that, and I'll explain.
