The difference, and it is significant, is that this remaster from Crisis Core will not be a PS5 exclusive, but a multi-platform title announced for this winter on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and even Switch, which is probably more convenient when you from a PSP game base.
We will therefore find the DNA of this short but intense adventure, centered on the original story of 1st class Zack Fair and his entry into the SOLDIER, with the mission of finding the trace of Genesis Rhapsodos, another member of the squad who disappeared in mysterious circumstances. The opportunity to enrich the universe of the game and the past of its various protagonists, from Cloud to Sephiroth, via Tifa and Aerith. And who knows to retouch certain emblematic sequences of the game to close the loop with the other projects.
If the publisher stuck to the classic information for this first announcement, there is no doubt that he will have the opportunity to come back to any changes made to the combat system and the use he makes of chance, or else still on the distinct mission structure typical of a portable experience of the time. Inasmuch as Remasterwe can anyway count on new 3D models, fully dubbed characters, optimizations on the side of the game system and the interface, re-orchestrated music, and the possibility of skipping certain sequences.
