    Like Alex said, it starts to make sense if they bring it to PC, but they should call it a director’s cut, not a remaster.

      It’s not a director’s cut, though. Words have meanings. A remaster reuses assets but may contain reexported versions of assets at higher quality than the original. A director’s cut is using the same assets, at the same settings, but with editorial changes or unused pieces reinserted. They’re not the same thing.

        A director’s cut is using the same assets, at the same settings […]

        I don’t think that’s how Sony has been using the term lately.

          That’s irrelevant. Words have meanings. Just because they’re using the wrong words doesn’t excuse that it’s wrong.

            If they are porting a game and while they do so they:

            1. Add features
            2. Clean up some assets and/or target resolution, frame rate, etc. as appropriate for the new platform.

            #1 Would qualify it as a DC, but according to OP, #2 would disqualify it.
