HD Kills Final Fantasy VII PS3 Remake

yeah i would love to see the game remade for my son

he sees me playing the original and thinks i am crazy for playing such an outdated game but then he actually loves advent children style and look and knows each character
but with what the original content was the amount of graphics work on just midgar would take a while not counting the the many other towns areas that they would have to add for story line to match the original and the old style turn based system would loose a lot of newer gamers but if it wasnt the turned based system the game itself would never be the same

Make it on the wii or the X360, both consoles are easier to code for, even better make an enhanced version for PSP with a bit more content, upgraded visuals and sound track, If you can make crisis core then im sure an FF7 rework for psp is perfectly feasable

@realvictory no way bro.... squre enix will eventually make it.... jus relax

They're doing the game. If you are not doing it because they are fools.

how about this...make this s**t in sequel..ff7a,ff7b,ff7c and so on..think about marketing strategy, the storyline, system and characters are already there..ff7 is not a game, it is more on 'passion vs madness'..think about it..

I'm sure they will remake the game. The only downside...it won't be made for a long time. It's going to be a loooong wait.

they already made a mint off ff7 on ps1 why not use some of that money and remake it and then they will get triple the profit cos everyone will go out n buy it i truely believe they are stupid if they don't re make it

I personally would be more than happy to have a down looking, higher graphics version of the original - true to the old game, but with enhanced graphics and THATS IT... Using the "top-down" method, there are no massively complex 3D worlds for them to make, its just a graphical upgrade that is well within the abilities of the average game designer... A bit of play on the camera would be great (and relatively easy to achieve), but for the most part the whole game could be remade using the same techniques used to create the original - just replace the blocky characters, and revamp the 2D images that make up the game world. Allow LIMITED player controlled movement in the battle screen (so people cant run away from an enemy attack), and keep the battle and materia systems as they are... Obviously, the break in the "keep it the same" rule has to be the FMVs and the summons - FMVs should be made to at least the quality of the tech demo, and summons should be improved to the same amount as the characters in the battle screen...

Almost everything Ive suggested is easily achievable, and (for me personally) would be more than enough to say "this is a great game" all over again - just like i can do with the original...

On a side note, having everything to the degree of detail used in 13 is impractical because of time and money constraints - im sure at one point i read somewhere that it would take 14 years to make, and thats after they start (when the team is back together)... My suggestion would take far less time and money, and is easilly achievable before the original games 20th anniversary in 2018... It may not be enough to satisfy the fans of advanced graphics, but it should more than please the fans of the game - lets face it: if you put the graphics before the game, they youre not a fan of the game, are you? I hate it when I hear/read someone saying "I love this game, the graphics are amazing!!!" -.-

But dont take all this the wrong way - I would be ecstatic if they did make a full HD (or dare I say - 3D) version, I just dont think its going to happen...

FF7 was the most epic story ever. many gaming magazines consider it to be the best game of all time. Now about square enix, they are not doing so high right now, their sells have gone down, and money is a bit tight right now for them, so u got to understand that there is simply not enough money in the bu jet to make a FF7 remake. thrust me im a huge FF7 fan, greatest game i ever play. but we got to stop asking 4 childish things. I truly believe a remake will happened, just not now because there is simply not enough money k. trust me as soon as they have enough money and the necessary time they will jump on it like a free buffet. FF7 ween it comes out probably for the ps4 :) will be the greatest game ever. the November of fans that play the original back in the 19th is just 2 big, and new fans are just discovering the amazing saga thanks to manga, and anima. We will have our dream people, just give it time.

@staker

you the one is stupid!!... you have no respect for square enix at all

Hey just to let you drool a little more here http://www.toy-tma.com/electronic-toys/video-games/final-fantasy-vii-remake/

I originally bought FF7 on the PSN store because of the fact that cloud looked so damn cool in Kingdom Hearts. I played it, it was awesome and I immediately wanted a remake, but that desire will be the death of me. I will probly go to every E3 every year, and I won't stop until I hear an orchestrated version of one winged angel accompanying a teaser for Final Fantasy 7. and when I don't hear it year after year, I will cry. and I will cry the year they do. for THOSE tears will be tears of JOY!

I agree 100% if they can create final fantasy versus 13 which takes place in a simmlar landscape as Midgar and many of the other places viewed in final fantasy 7! plus they have already created Midgar once in Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children!@Kian

The year is 2011. There is no reason that Enix cant redo FF7. As a developer, i can say that their excuses are poorly supported. They claim its too hard. But what they mean is, theyd have to invest more money than it takes to throwing a couple hundred grand at some scab developers to shell out a linear waste of a game. In this day and age, its ALL about money and NOTHING to do with quality of games.. Ive worked for video game publishers - they are only interested in BARELY passing the standards as cheaply as possible and fast... Hey Enix, wanna know why youre losing money each year? For not listening to your ex-fans.

@Liam
I would have to agree. Plus if the issue is just the fact it would be so time consuming do to the fact its to complex why not try working on it as a side project. See what you can do and at least make the effort to TRY and make it work. Hell if it looks a lot better and maintains the same story plot I am sure the people will be pleased.

Gee, that's a real pity in my opinion, if square enix were to make a remake of final fantasy 7 i'm sure that there would be thousands of copies sold no matter what price they put it up for, i agree that it would be difficult but in all honesty i think that it would be worth the effort, both for the fans and for the company. I personally have played through the original game twice despite its ageing graphics, and i know many others that have played through the game recently as well as myself using either an old ps1 or an emulator, which is proof of the games continued popularity despite its age. While I agree with all that i say here, i highly disagree with those people saying that they should put all other projects on hold and focus on making a remake of ffvii, that would simply be impractical, there are also a massive amount of fans of the series itself who are eagerly awaiting the next game in the series and by stopping the production of the next games in the series, square enix would be damaging their profits quite considerably. All the same, the fact that Square Enix has the time and money to make multiple spinoff games of ffvii as well as make an hour and a half pre-rendered movie and even an anime is rather ridiculous in my opinion (don't get me wrong, i quite enjoyed these extras), they would be far better off spending their time and money on making an actual sequel to the original game like all the fans are asking for.

@phantasyguy

If a game company isn't making games that everybody wants to play, what on earth is their use? You think they should just continue to make games that fans don't care about? S-E is suffering financially and for some reason, they feel that making deluded, over-hyped, clones of the same dead horse (anything after ff9) will somehow work for the better. This game would easily be the biggest selling game in their sales history, yet they insist on making games that we, the consumers, don't want to play. Why would I ever buy something that I don't want to use?

@phantasyguy
You can't say someone is selfish when they pay money for a good game and get let down. When you pay for quality and do not receive it. I reserved ffxiii and was so disappointed in the game I threw it away. Why? Companies like Square have become too consumed with HD and pretty characters that they stopped making games with good game play. Even the article stated that "Maybe when HD game development becomes less challenging, we can start to see Final Fantasy games take more creative liberties with towns and other explorable areas." This statement alone shows that their concern is on appearance and not game play. I desire a remake of ff7 because the classics had something that the new developers can not seem to capture. And I do not say this as someone reliving a childhood game; I did not play my first final fantasy game till I was in college. It is plain and simple; Final Fantasy will continue to go downhill until the developer change their priorities.

Even though saying it will take a huge chunk of time to make ffvii again would it not be epic? Beside that everyone would just love the game, thus bringing in money. Come on. Seriously I really want the saga of ffvii to continue!

I would buy the remake... on day 1... along with everyone else! Please make it square!
