` :Being a ``fan-boy`` has nothing to do with at least one of the previous comments. Team Ninja developers HAVE STATED that it was remade/re-envisioned yet again for the purpose of bringing the game to a set of people who might not have played it on the competition's console. Black was essentially the same game, yet there's enough there that makes it stand apart from the first release. There's enough in this one that makes it stand apart from the prior two. Pretty simple outlook, not skewed in any direction in regard to being a fan or otherwise.  `
