Squeenix Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - now on Steam

[Duraframe300]

My biggest hope now is that the guy who does the translation patch stops being a little bitch and allows his mod to work with 7th Heaven so I can easily use that with better graphical mods. Well, that's my biggest realistic hope anyway. My unrealistic hope is that this remake pisses off a bunch of skilled fans and they get together to do their own remake in the Unreal engine. They could probably get away with it if they just do it in secret and not make any announcements or release anything until it's 100% completed.

That's not unrealistic, that's downright impossible. Takes way too long to make everything from scratch.
Unless in future XX we could train an AI to completly remake the game for us and we just had to polish it
(Which would still take modders quite a while but at least makes it feasible.)

Same reason texture mods exploded last year with AI upscaling.

It would only be a huge task if you tried to make it a huge third person thing like the official remake. If you kept the original camera angles and did 2d backdrops it wouldn't be that big of a deal. AI upscaling can do half of the work for you if you just used the AI upscaled backdrops as a base and touched them up where needed.

Oh they're gonna use time travel to save Aerith huh?

It would still be a huge task since you need to program all the gameplay, script everything, redo animations since you can't just copy them and so on (And you wouldn't because that'd defeat the whole purpose) Theres tons of work involved here aside from backgrounds which as you said is probably the only thing you can reuse and even then theres lots of stuff involved there.

The most sensible option would be creating a more modern engine from scratch for the game like other projects have been doing (Though we already have a failed attempt there for FF7 in QGears), but thinking you can just stuff it into UE is insane.

Who's the audience for this game again? Is this supposed to be some kind of "epic plot twist"?

Bitch is ded Bro. Get over it.

Tell that to the devs, there is no way they introduce this time travel bs and messing with established events and not have it lead to saving Aerith.

People who never played any Final Fantasy before XIII.

Several million man children who played ff7 in their youth.
And no,they don't care about quality or plot,they just consume what they are told to consume.

 

[Monkeyfinger]

Devs straight up said it's for zoomers and that the fans of PS1 FF7 can get bent. I'd spoonfeed you with a link but meh, lazy.

Really FF7 is not a good bar for a good plot in JRPG.

Yes, I am butthurt that they changed so much stuff allegedly, but there is no reason this could not be better than original FF7 objectively because, besides the 1st disc, FF7 was a waste of potential setting.

 

[Cromwell]

I applaud them for the lengths their going, even constructing all that new plot, just to explain why tifa suddenly has smaller tits.

 

[sullynathan]

Embargo has been lifted. Videos out.




Lots of dislike butthurt in IGN's video because of rating.

 

[Drixed]

Nomura should keep his time traveling fetish to himself, maybe he's still butthurt by Aerith death.

SPOILER: It's SHIET! & Decline.

It's so they can avoid 50% of the original game's content and fast forward through the story. They roped in everyone with major nostalgia from the intro to enemy designs and will now proceed to fanfic the fuck out of things.

 

[Morgoth]

Never managed to finish the original FFVII. The only two JRPGs I ever got seriously into were The Last Remnant and Lost Odyssey. Always found FF too gayish.

 

[True Ukrainian]

So its Dragon Age Inquisition all over again. Pass.

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

I'm seeing all these high review scores and all the 10 / 10 score. Give it a month at most when the hype is gone and then you'll start hearing the complaints and "FF7 Remake is actually very average" articles etc.

She can still sit on my face

 

[Melcar]

But she has leggins now. 2/10.

 

[jungl]

Aaaand it looks like a psp jrpg title in quality with upscaled textures.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Is there any info on how long is the game?

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

I hope you can still do crazy Materia set ups, that was part of what I really liked about FF7 back then. The story was fine, music was good and catchy, Tifa had huge tits, but it was the Materia system that made it all worthwhile.

Oh wait it's console exclusive isn't it? Nevermind, WON'T BE BUYING. GOT NO PS4 LOL
