FFVII Remake Green-Lit by SE?

**miokomioko** · 2010-02-23 03:05

Do they think a year is their break-even point or something? They might be severely underestimating how much people would gobble the shit up if they remade it.

**Elcura** · 2010-02-23 04:15

I wonder how much shit people would need to gobble up before they break even. I can't even imagine how much it would cost.

**miokomioko** · 2010-02-23 06:34

How much it would cost? How would it be out of the ordinary, cost-wise from any other Square-Enix project?

The only thing pushing the idea into a larger project than it should be is any assumptions that it has to be up-to-par with FF13 or better when much, much less than that would sell.

While a PS3 remake of FFVII wouldn't cost that much more than FFXIII's budget, you have to understand that FFVII is an existing game. It's one thing pouring millions into something completely new (like FFXIII), and quite a different thing doing the same for something that nearly everyone that's a fan of the series has already played... numerous times.

You're assuming the remake of 7 will be the same scope as 13. I'm assuming the remake will be much, much bigger.

in the poetic words of en vouge,

"nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it, nevah gonna get it, woa woa woa woa woa"

however much i want it, and oh i do, id have to agree that doing 7 would be pretty big.
its prolly be at least 2 blu rays. and well thats saying something nowadays.

Peoples need to make up their minds.

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-23 12:47

Seriously, either make it or don't. Stop getting my hopes up for a Wutai theme remake, then systematically crushing them.

**AoE** · 2010-03-23 12:50

Or stop getting your hopes up period until there's concrete proof that it's gonna get made.

**Atreides** · 2010-03-23 13:31

"explore the possibility of making it"
=they'll decide whether or not they're going to make it by 2012 at the earliest
=they'll start making it in 2014 or 2015
=JP release summer 2017 pushed back to March 2018
=NA release xmas 2018 pushed back to Spring 2019

don't get your hopes up lol

**GRT** · 2010-03-23 13:36

so... PS4 remake?

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-23 13:45

Hopes were made for getting up, then summarily dashed. Leave me to my fate.

**shidobu** · 2010-03-23 13:52

lol... their gonna make it. And wipe their asses with all the money they will make afterwards.

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-23 14:16

^ It's gotta be nice as a company knowing that you have quite a few projects you could churn out and conceivably break every sales record currently known to man.

A FFVII release on PS3 or PS4 would crush any Halo release, would shit on Modern Warfare's release, would laugh at FFXIII's sales, and would seriously curb stomp the Hollywood entertainment industry. I'd like to see if they could bitch some of Blizzard's crazy sales figures, and I think they could. The most recognizable RPG in history with one of the most polarizing and familiar title characters (love him or hate him), released on a system that has proven with recent releases like Uncharted and FFXIII that it can do very "very" pretty games...

Yeah, it must be nice to be a CEO and know all of that.

You forgot the EU release in 2032 and the special edition JP release in 2035 which has all the NA/EU extras.

**Elcura** · 2010-03-24 07:27

You also forgot

"Made for the PS3 but decided to switch to the PS4 half way through"

**Blabj** · 2010-03-24 08:35

I don't know why I thought it would be cool if they made it so the save game files would be compatible with the old FFVII on the PSP... There are so many obvious flaws with that idea...
