We all know that lately game companies are running out of/too lazy to come up with original ideas for games and have been chugging remakes and sequels.
I say they should remake Super Smash TV
final fantasy 7!
FF7 is great as it is. any remake would just destroy it.
Yeah, there is a probability.
But did you see remake of FF7 opening on PS3? It’s awesome!
>>1
Geometry Wars? Granted it's not the same but it's a similar move with one stick shoot with the other setup.
Apparently Square-Enix said that to remake FF7 on PS3 would take too long and cost too much for it to be even remotely worthwhile. That worries me, though.
A huge company like SE can't afford to remake FF7, which is guaranteed to sell millions worldwide, and has already been made once - they don't need to worry about design, story, characters, battle system etc, just new pretty graphics.
So it seems like no company will ever be able to produce a PS3 game with FF7's scope unless they ignore next-gen graphics and make it look like a PS2 game. Which is fine by me, but it'd never fly in the current market.
I wonder why they can't afford it. I mean, there already are Chara Designs and a Story etc. It cant be much more expensive than a completely new Game / Sequel?
Still, i love the PS Part <3

That suprises me, I would've thought it would be obvious, I can't see how it wouldn't be incredably successful. Just look at how well FF3 on DS is doing in Japan. FF7 is a big game but I don't think its really that much bigger than any of the others.
I can't remember S-E saying anything about it, do you have a source?
>>8
i don't have a source, just vague drunken memories. feel free to google and prove me right or wrong.
FF7 for the PS3 i hope that square-enix will remake it, its gonna be a huge hit for sure.. same goes with the FFI-FFVI..
SE should really consider remaking FF1-6. personally i have never gotten the chance to play either of them. that is probably why i would like to experience the story with more up to date graphics
so, whats your understanding of a remake?
FF6 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX and GBA
FF5 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX and GBA
FF4 (SFC) -> rereleased on PSX, GBA and WSC
FF3 (FC) -> rereleased on DS, PSX, SNES and WSC
FF2 (FC) -> rereleased on GBA, PSX, SNES and WSC
FF1 (FC) -> rereleased on GBA
how much more do you need?
do you need 3D Graphics? Many people say 3D sucks. Just go play the Psx/Snes/Gba versions. these have 16 Bit (like) graphics and that should be really enough to enjoy them.
> FF3 (FC) -> rereleased on DS, PSX, SNES and WSC
wait... what? The WSC version was cancelled, and that's the first I've heard of a SNES or PSX release. It's pretty famous for being the only FF game that was never remade until the DS version.
hmm.. i have stolen that infos from Gamefaqs.com
as experienced before there is a lot of incorrect data on that site. so it might have never been released. you should not trut my post then ;)

Other than FF1-3, those are essentially ports, not remakes.
> do you need 3D Graphics? Many people say 3D sucks. Just go play the Psx/Snes/Gba versions. these have 16 Bit (like) graphics and that should be really enough to enjoy them.
Because of the types of games they are they could be improved by 3D graphics and FMVs. The one or two FMVs in the PSX versions don't count. No one wants to play the same games again with hardly any changes.
This thread is about old games, and you bring up this console shit? Dear lord. Says a lot about the lot of you.
Anyway, I'd like to see a remake of the old Melbourne House text adventure (aka interactive fiction) game Kwah. Old crusties like me will remember it, it's the one with the three-squares-at-a-time comic book style visualization thing for the C64, with the main character being a superman-style ordinary nerd with a Secret Superhero Identity as Redhawk.
Well, actually I'd just like to see the comic book "paradigm" go somewhere else than the cheesy-ass visual novel sequences in the Max Payne games. Pretty, rendered comic book representations of the player's progress through a 3D jump'n'run game for instance.
Afterlife.
Best citybuilder ever.

Blue Byte rawks!
A Neuromancer remake by the dudes who did Syberia.
