      Major story changes and can only take place after the original has already happened. It’s a retread, but a sequel nonetheless. They explicitly said in interviews and such that it would be a faithful remake (despite additions).

        Oh I know it’s a sequel. I just didn’t know what you meant by the rest.

        Personally I was pleasantly surprised it was a sequel and I’m glad it wasn’t advertised as so. As I started realising that the little changes weren’t just because of them taking creative liberty on the source material but instead something more and still in-universe to the original, the cogs in my head couldn’t stop turning as I was trying to figure out what was actually happening. I liked that feeling as I was playing.

        I enjoyed the game more because it was a sequel and because they didn’t tell us before hand and now that the cat is out of the bag and I’m already hooked in, I am sooo excited for the next games in the series.

          I found it to be pretty anti-consumer, but no beef if you enjoyed that.

          Anyway, here’s hoping it ages well like MGS2.
