SPOILERS FFVII Remake Sequel/ DLC Leaks Discussion

[Odysseus]

So that functionality would only be available in a future ps4 version, or would it still work on a backwards compatible ps4 copy?

Which functionality are you referring to?

How it would all come together into one huge game. I doubt future parts will be on ps4, they'd be seriously limiting themselves that way.

Square Enix has confirmed that it doesn’t have any plans to make games that are only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

At the very least, I expect the next part to be on PS4.

 

[Odysseus]

Oh, well foot in my mouth then.

 

[Claymore]

Yeah, I accepted the fact ages ago that Part II would be built with the PS4 in mind. We're going to get lots of zones, but at least the PS5 will load them very quickly.

 

[LNK]

I don't think I would mind Laguna style interludes with Zack. It could help build him up as this mysterious figure that the player learns more about as time goes on. I just cannot fathom how he would meet the, I guess, "main universe" version of the party without Cloud's head exploding like a grape.

I seem to recall a long time ago that somebody from square said they'd rather remake CC than port it, though I can't prove this. I wonder if that's related.

My hope is Zack is still dead. I think Laguna style interludes is a pretty cool idea. Instead of just showing flashbacks like normal, they could be playable. That's a way to give Zack fans a chance to play as him, without having to alter the main story. For someone who never played Crisis Core, I would definitely like if that was the case.

 

[LNK]

How long were games being made for ps3 after ps4 came out?

 

[Tetsujin]

"Any Square Enix games exclusively available for next-generation consoles will be released “farther down the road.”"

It will probably be another three years or so at least until the next part so I'd imagine that might count as "farther down the road"
I still think part 2 will be next-gen exclusive.

 

[oty]

That report is extremely vague, all things considered. Part 1 already seems heavily prepared for a PS5 version, so the logical conclusion is that next part is most likely a native PS5 title.

Financially, it can work out just like Remake Part 1, as one of the flagship titles of the console. I really dont see why they would limit themselves on making it cross-gen when they are very much into the technologies of next gen.

Also, have the leaks been more confirmed or something? Or are we still on the same boat?

Shit! I'll be in my grave by the time they'll get to Cid.

Still in the same boat, filled with grains of salt imo

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I can't wait for Rufus' inauguration! Rufus! New Age! The Rufus Effect! Glorious days for Shinra lie ahead. He is so handsome!

 

[Odysseus]

I was concerned about the lighting. Cloud can look pretty freaky at the wrong angle in part 1, so I was hoping future parts could have a more complex system to avoid that sort of thing.

Raytracing will help tons with this I'm sure

 

[Prism]

Yeah, hopefully the cases of strange lighting could be fixed in a PS5 version with raytracing. Not to mention some of the low resolution / low-poly objects.

 

[looneymoon]

so uh... more Genesis?

Yeah... I think I'm good.

 

[Theozilla]

so uh... more Genesis?

Yeah... I think I'm good.

Nothing in the purported leaks said anything about Genesis.

 

[Odysseus]

What about Mega Drive? That's what it was called in Japan.

I'll see myself out...

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Nothing in the purported leaks said anything about Genesis.

It's mostly that Crisis Core's story revolves really heavily around Genesis, and we already know that Project G exists.

[looneymoon]

tbh I kinda skimmed and saw "Crisis Core in remake" and that's where my mind went.

having Zack playable wouldn't be hard since you could theoretically just do a skin change on Cloud, no? I could also see, instead of a Laguna-style flashback, where Cloud's self-perception is changed so much he literally sees himself as Zack for a portion of playtime.

 

[Prism]

Yeah, but anything Crisis Core related would probably have Genesis involved...

It’s weird. I don’t wanna be spoiled on anything, but I want to know “how different are things?”
But everyone’s scale on how different things are is, well, different.

 

[Shademp]

What about Mega Drive? That's what it was called in Japan.

I'll see myself out...

Odysseus you are like the son I never had (nor will have) and I'm so damn proud of you

 

[Prism]

Yes, that was the best joke I’ve read all week, Odysseus. I know it’s Monday, but still.

 

[Theozilla]

It's mostly that Crisis Core's story revolves really heavily around Genesis, and we already know that Project G exists.

Oh sure, presumably if there is any Crisis Core remade stuff, he'd presumably pop up, but I meant more about referring to stuff directly relating to the main remake parts.
