Wait Guys, WE STILL WANT TO REMAKE IT

[Glaurung]

I'm tired of these guys playing "she loves me, she loves me not", like they were probing the fan community to be sure if a remake would be worth the time and resources.

Maybe when they release it, I'll be able to purchase a PS3

I would trust if they got the same staff from the original game and give the remake for them to make.Now,that would be awsome.
However,most of the people that worked in the game are not working for Square anymore.

With a new staff,they would probably make a movie in game,with 90% FMV's and 10% gameplay,and some j-pop soundtrack...
Like we want to know the story from FMV's...it's not a freaking movie assholes!

So what you're saying is you have no self control?

FF7's plot is unchanged no matter what they do. Can you really say that an older version of a book is invalid because a new one came out with different events and a branching plotline?

No, you can't. You consider them as two of their own universes, dimensions, or whatever. You can't take anything away from the older one, it has it's own established events and characters. There's no changing that.

Alternate dimensions is how I tend to look at this sort of thing. The main reason why I'm not bothered by comic book movies that are drastically different from their source material.

In the case of something like Soulcalibur: Legends, you even have to look at it that way.

That said, to those who are concerned with the canon setting -- the official one -- I can understand the concern very well. It might be easy enough for me to treat Before Crisis and Crisis Core as not part of my personal continuity due to their inconsistencies with other titles, but there's no denying that they exist.

Still, the "alternate dimensions" route is the easiest way to go about bargaining, and, ultimately, accepting shit like this.

It's a moot point anyway, people are scaring themselves over a very, very slim possibility. Whatever changes made to meld easier into the compilation won't be that overbearing. Good God, SE knows what made the game great and they're smart enough to be afraid to remake it for fear of fucking with it.

I find your abundance of faith ... disturbing.

You misunderstand. Obviously if I enter into a canon debate, I will embrace all of the canon, even the bits I don't like, for the duration of the debate. But that does not and should not effect my own personal interpretation of things.

This.

If we all abided by canon as if it were the law, we would be unable to enjoy even the most well-written fanfics simply because Square didn't write it that way. And that would suck.

Well said.

Think of it this way. When the new Star Trek movie came out, a lot of older fans were pissed as hell, because the movie deviated a great deal from the old canon.

Which I still don't understand. The way the story for the new "Star Trek" was written, both the new and the old remain canon.

The movie features a parallel universe to the old one, and even makes that point in the film itself.

That's one fandom gripe that really makes no damn sense.

Tell me about it. Personally I liked the new movie.

We already dissuaded this as being inadmissible in debates. It's a moot point. There's a difference between interpreting a game's events as a whole as it's own cohesive plot, and cherry pickin the events therein.

Fair enough, as long as you accept canon is canon, then that's fine.

Not really what I was saying but ok whatever.

I think that pic applies more to this post.

You know I think I meant to quote this one:

But I wasn't paying attention

Forgive me for having an opinion.Must be hard for you to think differently.

 

[Cthulhu]

Forgive me for having an opinion.Must be hard for you to think differently.

The point is your opinion is wrong and completely unbased. If SE wanted to make an interactive movie, they would, and put it on Blu-ray. Interactive movies were possible on DVD's as well, and a few proofs of concepts were made, but it never took flight - because nobody wants to play an interactive movie.

And give it a few minute's thought: Would you play a 90% CG movie game? And would everyone you know? And would The Rest of the World? The answer: No. SE knows this, and SE wouldn't make an interactive movie.

On your point of the original team, that'd be impossible, since it takes a lot more people to build a game nowadays. If you're referring to the story and visual designers, then yes, that would be possible. The critical people still work with SE, so yeah.

Also, black white man is black.

They did just that, and called it FFXIII.

Again. People did. It's called FFXIII.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Wonderful, Yop. You just had to set that broken record on the phonograph, didn't you?

Now we listen to Mako bawww about FFXIII for 12 pages.

 

[Makoeyes987]

You're goddamn right. It's only fitting that I do, especially when the n00b was being attacked for stating the truth.

Ok,first of all,
All I said is that I WISH they could give the project to the original staff and I KNOW that it's almost impossible for that to happen. (thanks for stating the obvious).
Second of all,you just didn't get what I wrote.Here's a tip,read again,get a dictionary,search the word "sarcasm".
That's all.You wrote all this because you didn't get I said.

Exactly.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Heavy Rain.

I want to play that. And I am so fucking serious.

Mako can suck my cock. But I want to play that game.

 

[ForceStealer]

I just played the demo the other night, looks like it could be pretty sweet.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Would you play a 90% CG movie game? And would everyone you know? And would The Rest of the World

Xenosaga.

 

[ForceStealer]

Which is also awesome, incidentally.

 

[Eerie]

Well, I'd say a remake is still at least 2 years away if they haven't even started work on it. Hopefully it'll become like Duke Nukem Forever.

At least, Duke Nukem Forever was somewhat started. Here it's just the idea of FFVII remake, which is just hilarious, in its own way.

XD

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Eh. Couldn't really get into it. Too much talking, and the gameplay wasn't good enough to make up for it. Xenosaga III was the best out of the lot, but the whole "80% of the game being in the past" was also dumb.

Xenosaga had better gameplay than III though, that psuedo-Xenogears system. III was basically...a pretty unremarkable JRPG battle system with the boosting from I and II. The story was better in I as well.
Both were better than 2, of course.

The main thing that III had over I gameplay wise was the fact that the A.S. (or whatever the giant robots were called in that episode) were actually useful and integral parts of the gameplay, instead of over expensive, near useless accessories in I. I sort of concede that while I's battle system had good elements over the plain Jane III's battle system, it wasn't a very good successor to Xenogears extremely fast paced battle system.

By comparison, Episode I's battle system was very clunky and slow. It really looked like nobody was really able to fight or a beginning Karate class with old people or something.

The story was better in I, but I honestly think it was pretty marred by the fact that they fucking Talked. So. Much. If you want to spend so much time on exposition, they just have just made it a movie.
