As well as the fact that they want returning players still guessing on what might happen. Just because you’ve played the original doesn’t mean you know what’s going to happen in the remake.

Players starting out with prior knowledge of the game will notice very early on that this is not the same game from 2005. While it shares a plethora of similarities, it also brings a considerable amount of differences. An example will be presented in the first few minutes of the game, in the form of an animal companion. In the original version of the game, there was an option to save a dog from being ensnared in a bear trap. This would then come to fruition when you fight a boss later on with the dogs help.
