I thought the Steam Edition was the remaster?

[King of Evil]

So, they are reselling the same game with a different name or did they actually change stuff?

Steam Edition and Remaster are both different games. Well the only thing changed are the graphics improvements along with new icon interfaces and visual effects in the Remaster.

But i'd say it is the same in terms of gameplay.

[King of Evil]

Yea, I just noticed the Steam edition is only around 8.5GB while the remaster is 32GB so that's a big difference. I guess most of the changes are cosmetic then.

The Steam Edition was to remove Games for Windows Live after that "service" ceased to be. There were some multi-player balance changes, but nothing else about the game changed aside from what DRM was used, and which system achievements were awarded from.

The Re-Mars-tered edition upgraded textures, lighting, & shadows, added native Steam Input support, and also made the game available on the current generation of consoles (PS4 and XB1).

Yeah, steam edition also added reconstructor to singleplayer, if you beat it

AFAIR the game was DX10 at launch, Steam did the above tweaks and added in DX11.

The Steam Edition was not a remaster because it didn't overhaul the graphics - it was a patch for the original 2009 PC release of the game that began development after Nordic Games acquired the rights from the bankrupt THQ. It went into beta in November 2014 and was finalised in December 2014; it removed GFWL (Games For Windows Live) and integrated the game into Steamworks for DRM and multiplayer, updated DirectX 10 support to DX11 (not necessarily a graphical upgrade), added some new Wrecking Crew maps, achievements and fixed a bunch of bugs. When the patch was finalised, the game was released on the Steam store for the first time under the name "Red Faction: Guerrilla Steam Edition". People who owned the retail copy of the game could get a free Steam key if they provided proof of purchase.

The Re-Mars-stered Edition is a remaster in that it has all-new textures, enabling the game to render natively at up to 4K resolutions, along with other graphical enhancements such as specular maps.

If you have already purchased the steam edition, look in your list of games in steam. Guerilla remastered should be automatically added.
I discovered it today, I thought I needed to pay for this version
