Remake or actual sequel?

[Sir Sparhawk]

From what I see in the trailers and interviews at the time of announcement this seems to be more of a remake with new and adjusted gameplay but the same story. Is that the case or is the a proper sequel that tells a similar but distinct story from the original?

[Luxinae]

The trailer is giving us a different story. The character saying that someone did something and forgot about it, the other char asking who could be the arisen. I wouldn't be surprised to see our arisen losing memory after fighting the dragon. Of course it is only a theory but still quite far away from the original plot.

Anyway, would you say that all zelda games are remake of the 1st one ? Because it is literally working the same way (and there is an official chronology for Zelda games btw).

I haven't played Dragons Dogma since the ps3 days so it isn't very fresh in my memory, and I never got very far, all I really remember is the intro bit where you loose your heart, it just seemed that what was in the trailer looked very similar to what I remembered and wanted clarification.

I think pawn can only get feeling when their master die, maybe not a new story but sequel

Both games have the same base : dragon stole my hearth, going to ounga bounga his face. It is happenning in the same world. but i don't think they will share anything else because the trailer is showing many details not appearing in the original game.

In the first game I think I only made it to the first big city, but what it shows of the dragon and him eating your heart match perfectly with what I remember. Whether it is a remake or new game I'm still down to see more and give it a chance. I'm just looking to find out what the deal with it is.

As said, it is working the same way as zelda games work.

Ok fair enough, so more like alternate reality then and less continuation

[Kenji Elis]

in the og dragons dogma theres like 3 endings, you find out that the dragon was a pervious arisen, god is also the first arisen (i think?) and you fight god, if you fall during the combat a portal opens up underneath you and you plummet to the earth whilst transforming into the dragon that stole your heart to continue the cycle if you beat god, you become god but cant do ♥♥♥♥ at all till you essentially kill yourself, and once you do that you and your pawn are falling from the heavens and with you dead your pawn gains emotions and chooses to sacrifice itself to revive you. its heavily implied the the cycle is broken with that buuuut there WAS another living arisen besides the MC that could have possibly chose to walk the same path you did, became god, and restarted the cycle again.

Pretty much. DD always had a "multiverse" thing going on. With the RIFT allowing Pawns to travel between worlds. And the whole layered world concept stuff.

"Dragon's Dogma is a tale of the Arisen, who's heart is taken by the Dragon. While this sequel mirrors the world setting of the first game, the adventure takes place in a parallel world."

This stated in the showcase they had in 2023.
When they start talking about the world setting.

Remake or actual sequel?

Yes, is the technically correct answer. As it canonically could be both.

[VoldeMort]

For the story its like prequel, and the game is sequel, new story, like the other game, Spiderman , TLOU, Zelda, God of war, etc. The games mentioned only add to the story and lore and slightly improve the graphics, and these are called sequels.

[H-Foundry PIXIV]

It can comfortably be a re-make in every aspect, re-hashing the same overall plot, except because "muh multiverse" asspull. You can just say "parallel worlds !" and it be a sequel. Even if there's no references to part 1 or continuity. The most references you'll see are some memes (muh wolves and masterworks).

[vaanomega]

Well, the dev sayed it was a parallele universe, so it's not really a sequel and not a remake

[Soki]

Lore wise, it's parallel to the first. On the technical side, it's absolutely and definitely a remake.

It's been stated numerous times in various interviews by Hideaki Itsuno himself. When he made the first DD, he could not implement many things he wanted due to hardware limitations of consoles at the time. Now with much more advancements, he's able to include all the things he couldn't in the first.

Short answer....yes
