a solid game with a decent physics engine for its time. the missions are humourous and fun, though any missions involving flying around in the spaceship become tedious pretty quickly.
Why does the 2020 Remake not have its own page? It is strange to just list it on the same page as this.. They do not do that for Spyro, Crash, Resident Evil..
Hell, they don't even do it for SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, that got its own page listing separate from the original even though that is also by THQ Nordic, also came out in 2020, and is exactly a remake like how this is.
A lot of times, original devs aren't credited in remakes. And I've never seen the original complete dev team credited in a remake either. And including cut content doesn't mean much; there are plenty of clear remasters out there with added content from different developers.
Nevertheless, I think I lean toward remake for this one nowadays. Just don't think the original devs should be credited if this is split off as a remake.
I meant it'd make sense to list them as devs especially in case the remake would include content created by them that was cut from the original. Including them could also be done as a tribute. Just look at the actual game credits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioOnYKthbJw), towards the end you can see credit "original game created by Pandemic Studios". Final Fantasy VII Remake is a separate entity here and its credits also mention "all original Final Fantasy VII staff".
Whether someone is or isn't credited in a remake doesn't warrant the game being a re-release rather than a separate entry. The credit applies to Steam only too so it's an incorrect assumption anyway, the original devs aren't listed on PlayStation, Xbox or Stadia storefronts.
You're talking to the wrong guy about all this. If you think the 2020 remastermake should have its own separate page, take it to the board. There've been changes in the past to a game's type. Recent ones off the top of my head include
...And the upcoming remake to Destroy All Humans! 2 literally already has its own separate page from Destroy All Humans! 2.. As it should, but the 2020 remake for this game continues not to.
