Video games
Remastering a video game is more difficult than remastering a film or music recording because the video game's graphics show their age, even when the source code is used. This can be due to a number of factors, notably lower resolutions and less complicated rendering engines at the time of release. A video game remaster typically has ambience and design updated to the capabilities of a more powerful console, while a video game remake is also updated but with recreated models.
