Some people got it to their head that a new spin-off or remake for FFVII was 100% going to happen. It wasn't just Playstationlifestyle, talkplaystation said there was definitely going to be a new game for the PS3 announced.
And it all ended in tears.....
I don't think many people actually believed that they were going to announce a remake for VII now, when they've got so many projects on the line. But it was quite a nice thread to see how individuals differ in how they want the remake done.
As I said above, the question's not if FFVII will be remade, but when! I reckon it'll be released 2013-2014!
I'm still skeptical on the prospect of it ever happening to be quite honest. If it comes out this generation on PS3 the entire game will need to be done to the level of Advent Children in order to appease most people it seems, and recreating the entire game alone with that amount of detail would be an amazingly daunting task. Throw in the voice acting people will want, redoing all the songs so they take advantage of current tech, general fine tuning of the gameplay and script, and you've got an expensive and time-consuming proposition. I honestly wonder if it would be a profitable game; yes millions will buy it, but would it offset the cost?
The one thing I could see working is making it either for the PSP or PSN and using the Crisis Core engine. I thought that looked quite fine and would work well for a remake.
In the end though, I don't see a point in speculating or expecting it to happen until Square says so.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Well, I gotta say, to recreate all the content that was in FFVII, in Advent Children, or even Crisis Core specs, I'm not sure how many blue ray D's that would take... so yeah, there's alot of issues. Maybe they should just make it a new PS2 game, that'd be enough to satisfy me.
Also, it wasn't just PSLS that started this rumor. It was Tetsuya Nomura and Shinji Hashimoto.
Indeed. For once it was actually Square that escalated the situation. Nobody would of expected much if Square hadn't opened their mouths and said what they said. I mean, Square announced some awesome things at their show and nobody seems to care solely due to the fact that they expected much more.
The point is they were so confident in their little informant or whatever (I really just skimmed the article when it was up) and now they just take the page down instead of admitting they were wrong.
Eeits fanny to meh.
They said something big related to VII would happen, and unless you count a Blu-ray re-release of a movie we've already known was coming big, you're quite wrong.
Parasite Eve 3 is still pretty damn cool...just sucks I don't got a PSP.
I agree you must read more clearer before saying what you think.
Personally, I'm a bit old fashioned and actually prefer the random battles. That way it's easier to heal because you're not chased by the enemy through out the map, and item use is instantainous.
I'd like a remake, but I could buy a game like Crisis Core, because it was the only spinoff I liked. I also want to know what happens to Genesis after Dirge of Cerberus' Secret ending (damn marketing techniques).
A remake would be good if they updated the system (like being able to fuse materia.) and if the story (More Turks, whatever happened to Zack's friend Kunsel, etc.)
I'm not getting my hopes too high though.
