Is this a REMAKE or a REMASTER?

[GiveMeCake]

Is this a remake or a remaster? By remaster, I mean is it the same "game feel" and source code but with updated graphics, or is it a complete remake in a new engine? Also, does the gameplay look faster now?

It's remade in the same engine used for AoE3 DE and they have mentioned there will be gameplay changes. We'll have to wait and see how extensive they will be

As above said, it's a remake.

Essentially yes. The engine is upgraded substantially, but it is still the Bang engine and should still feel like AoM.

Some people have complained about the look, saying it does not look like AOM, but when I look at the gameplay I don't think it's any different. I can easily imagine the game world, game map and world made up of tiles. It's got that AOE3 look of sorts, but honestly, I'm loving the graphics upgrade.

Ah I was hoping it was AOE4 engine, good enough I guess

I think it's aporpriate

I believe AoE 3 was made on the same 3D engine as Age of Mythology. Now their definitive editions are both using the upgraded version of that engine. So like the OP hopes, it should feel a lot more faithful to the original running on this engine than on the AoE4 one

It's a port in the De3 engine. Neither a Remaster or a Remake but if we have to pick, a remaster is more accurate. It's the same engine and it's being introduced in a more newer iteration of it which naively come with better or convenient frameworks and rendering pipelines.
