Kickstarter for FF7 Remake

[Pixel]

If SE started a kickstarter campain for an FF7 remake, how much would you be willing to donate and what rewards would you like them to offer?

 

[Tennyo]

Do they really need a Kickstarter campaign?

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I wouldn't donate a penny, to be honest. Even with the constant slap in the face of shit like Re:Lightning Farron and the Last Crusade 1.5 HD International Final Mix+, I might consider it if they had demonstrated quality -- or even just competent -- game design and business practices for the past seven years or so.

$80 less than I donated to the Homestuck kickstarter

(btw I donated $80 to the Homestuck kickstarter I'm so excited)

 

[Tennyo]

What did Homestuck have a kickstarter for? Was that for starting the comic itself or are they planning something else?

 

[Makoeyes987]

There would have to be a super fucking awesome exclusive appreciation gift or game unlockable to make me even consider forking over a dime to motivate them to make something that will profit them 100 times over.

The creator wants to make a video game once the comic is completed.

I may have been interested several years ago, but I think I can safely say I wouldn't buy a remake. I might watch it on youtube instead . There'd be more chance of me funding a sequel, but SE's recent track record is incredibly off-putting.

 

[Fangu]

I don't pay anything up front to large, commercial companies.
I just wait for them to rob me with an actual game and DLC's

shit like Re:Lightning Farron

YOU
SIR
ARE HEREBY UNFRIENDED

(joking)

 

[Tetsujin]

I'd kick them in their nuts and then take their money.

 

[Octo]

I'd want a guarantee that I would love the game like my firstborn and if I didn't then SE would collectively commit seppuku

Personally I'd be more inclined to donate to anyone but SE to do a remake, of course that could never happen.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Alright I might kick in a couple bucks if I could get Octo's deal on it

 

[Tennyo]

Yeah, I'll gladly donate money to indie companies making indie games, but not a super giant like SE.

 

[SirVival]

a big slap on the face of everyone in SE, that's what I'd donate.
I'm never going to buy that never-gonna-happen remake, humans should learn from their mistakes.

 

[Lex]

Absolutely nothing. I grudge giving them full price for the games they actually put out, never mind one they'll probably butcher.

 

[Makoeyes987]

You know, the more I think about it.. The angrier I get.

If you have to motivate someone to DO something that will make them MONEY...by giving them MORE money. There's something fucking off.

 

[Flintlock]

You bunch of grumps. I would happily donate, say, $100 to get a remake of what is probably my all-time favourite game.

What would I expect to get in return for my donation? Well, a copy of the game, obviously. And $100.

 

[Tennyo]

Surely you jest.

 

[Tsunami Shijo]

I'd donate to Mistwalker if Nomura and Kitase joined them. But I'm with most everyone else on this, Square already has tons of both fans and people in the industry telling them to shut up and take their money, they want a remake/sequel, etc etc. and yet Square keeps putting funds and resources into junk like FFXIII-3 and FFXI-2.

Square has fallen into the group of major game companies that have ultimately ignored their fanbase for their major decisions and ruined or ignored their most cherished franchises... they're right up there with Capcom, Sega, and Nintendo. If they want the fans money they need to listen to the fans.

 

[FLo]

I really think that they don' t need any kickstart.

Wtf, in my opinion a FF7 remake would be a guaranteed uberprofit, regardless of the change of taste of the majority of players who prefer actionfagrpg.

I once heard "o blabla, they cannot recreate the whole content because its SO much" bullshit, it will take some time but i really think that despite Nomura incompetence a remake is possible.

Nomura? Eww fuck that.

I'd donate if a Western Studio whom actually knows what gamers want would make it

 

[clowd]

Square runs kick start campaigns all the time

The latest is called Lightning Returns

Doubtful they will use that money on VII though
