a reboot is different from a remake because a remake is a retelling of a story that already exists. for example, the james bond movie "never say never again" is a remake of "thunderball". "never say never again" is a retelling same story as "thunderball", but it is only a little different. in video games, an example of a remake is "", which has the same story as the first "metroid" game, but it has more detailed graphics, new power suit abilities, and an entirely new area that is playable after the part of the game where the first game ended.
