I know very little about what sort of development goes into a game, but if they are around 70% complete I'd say that is an encouraging sign. Hopefully we see it in Autumn, but if not, I just hope they stick to their target of before 2014 hits.

Yeah so many cool things to come with the remaster, I'd wait! At least I am. :D

I'm interested to see what the FMV's will look like by comparison. That may show more of a difference to the original.
This is not true. The textures are completely re-done - not added to because things don't magically work that way, there's more polygons, new lighting and shaders are added, and the aspect ratio has been changed and resolution increased not stretched. They are drastic changes for a PS2 game.Quote:

Lead up to it. Play FF1 to FF9. By the time you're done with that, hopefully it should be out :)
Actually you're right, there is considerable change but it still doesn't hold up to the true HD graphics we see in their more recent games. There isn't much change to the definition to me to make me say,wow this is totally worth spending money on a brand new game. It isn't really brand new or outdated. I am perfectly fine with the original I currently have.
Yes, I agree with you. I cannot consider this title a remake of any kind. It sounds like more of an upscaled port to a newer generation console. Have they said whether or not they are adding any additional content like a storyline segment? Those are the types of items that make me consider a game a remake.Quote:

They've never claimed it was a remake, just a remaster.
But for NA gamers, there is a lot of content we never had.
Of course it doesn't look as good as "true HD" (what does this even mean?) games, but I have no idea why you were (or seem to be) expecting that. this port has been a lot more improved than more or less every other ps2->ps3 port we've seen.Quote:

They're selling point would have been if they actually really did an HD game which will basically require a lot of work. This is the laziest I've seen them in a while.
this is only gonna be a retextured port, they never claimed it would be a remake... in the U.S. though we're getting the bonus content previously only available outside of the States, so score for us finally...
as far as it being lazy, it looks like a lot of love went into this port compared to other HD Remixes we've seen released in the past by other companies, this isn't just a rescale like those others it's reskinned too, and that takes time and effort to create all those new textures... far from lazy it's actually on a scale a little better than the Chrono Trigger DS Enhanced Port, as far as effort and love poured into it... would i liike to see a true 1080p remake from scratch? sure i would, do i expect one in the next 10 years? no...
>>> Tired of waiting for FFX HD? go and play Dark Souls, you will totally forget about FFX, in fact you will totally forget about FF..:luca:
So glad you got to like Dark Souls so much despite a rough start! I could not agree more!Quote:

But making games is not the same as making film... What I mean to say is, it doesn't sound like you understand the processes that they had to go through in order to get the quality they have currently shown - it's a lot more work than you realize and cannot be compared with newer current generation games but rather previous PS2 games that have been remastered of which it looks remarkably better.Quote:
