E3 08

[Correction]

I don't think a re-make would require as much manpower/money as a new build. You have the concept down. You have the story down. You have the music down (hopefully re-rerecorded with a symphony orchestra).

No I'm pretty sure they'd have to re-make every piece of art for game more or less from scratch. FF7's art direction was all over the place, having one model for the 'realistic' CG (opening FMV), one model for the 'chibi' CG (Tifa getting busted out of jail), yet another model for the battle mode and finally the 'walking around' superlow poly models for everything else. I doubt this 'four different looks for all the characters' direction is going to fly on a current generation console, especially when you pump up the color and framerate to look good on an HDTV. Have you played FFVII on a high-res display before? It's a damned mess.

I don't disagree all that stuff would need to be re-created, but overall the concept is done. That's half the battle. Unless you're saying they need to reconceptualize the art to accomodate for the advances in technology?

As I said, the work they have done is cheap. The only real saved cost would be iteration, and I don't think SE iterates that much anyways.

Confirmed, FF13 for Xbox 360.

MGS4 just cost me $550 too. There really is no reason to own both a 360 and a PS3 anymore.

Sux 2b u, might as well get rid of it before you lose any moar moneyz.

I know everyone is all over the place regarding FF13, but RE5 looks fuckin amazing & the co-op will be epic if they execute the idea well.

Isn't that exactly the same trailer we've been given for almost a year now, with maybe 3 seconds of new footage?

e3 is fail this year

If Sony doesn't announce a Chrono game/FF7 remake/some other huge jRPG title, they're pretty much jolly well fucked.

A new Chrono title won't do jack shit for Sony compared to what they just lost with XIII not being exclusive anymore. Even if they announced a new SE exclusive title, after what happened with XIII, no one is going to believe that the game will be exclusive. After XIII gets released in NA and EU territories and SE starts hyping vsXIII don't be surprised when they announce it for the 360 too.

[Natallon]

kinda bummed about the FFXIII news, but will wait till Sony's press conference until I go totally emo

Not "exactly," but pretty much the same.

Although I bet that's exactly the same trailer that's been shown behind closed doors for almost a year now.
