Which remake will score better on Metacritic? Final Fantasy VII or Resident Evil 3? Let's make an avatar bet.
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
I'm Team RE3. Super pumped for both games but I know FF7 fans all too well lol. Expect some down scores simply because it's multi-part.
Although, if I lose, please put cash Vince into mine somehow.

Sure, up until March 31st. I'll put you onto Team RE3.
You know what, I'm willing to bet my avatar that RE3 pulls out ahead. I think despite how good FF7 may or may not be, the MC will crumble under the pressure that fans will put on it.
Not in it for an avatar bet. This is a tough one because Capcom is on a fucking roll but I absolutely loved the FF7 demo.
I'm going to say RE3 only because it's the full experience and more, while I think FF7 will have to deal with a series of "it's only part of the game" critiques. So, RE3 even if I expect to enjoy RE7 more.

I think both will be fantastic, but given that I predict some purists will shit on FF7 more than RE3remake out of spite, I think that will bring down the overall meta-critic for FF7 more than RE3remake so I'm going with Team RE3remake.
Never done one of these before, but I think I can handle changing my avatar for a few weeks.
People are making really good points about FF7R getting stupid deductions from haters, but I think I'm going to jump on Team FF7R anyway.
I look forward to the results :D

I don't know specifically, but RE2 and RE7's review embargos were both three days before the game released. So RE3's review embargo being around that period seems very likely.
Even though I am more excited for RE3, I think FF7 will have a higher review aggregate.
More hype for it, almost every preview of it is glowing and RE3 is coming out real close to RE2 remake.
I guess I am team FF7

Unfair.
Shooter games get review boosters. FFVII Remake on the full game story is not in the arena... RE3 is the complete experience, something Square Enix does not understand, not an extended demo.
Totally unfair but Square Enix is feeding FFVII haters ammo by making these strategic choices, undermining it's own 'Ultima' strength, in the franchise.

More fair than you may think, horror games often get a review strike against it as well unless it's a particularly loved game. Just kinda' look over how horror games, even good ones, usually do over time.
Keep in mind RE3 is a horror game where a big invincible monster chases you through most of the game, some really don't like that.
FFVII easily.
I feel like the wave of enthusiasm for the REmakes has already crested, while everyone is ready to fall head over heels for the FF reboot.

I dont really care to bet, but I will throw my two cents in
I feel like RE3 will be judged alot (unfairly or fairly) based on Resistance, unless they plan on delaying it. I think some people might not jive with it. And I'll be honest with an external dev doing the work I'm not 100% confident in the technical side like I would be with Capcom. On the other hand, SE seems like they have pulled out all the stops and are only targeting 1 platform.

With the RE3 demo out now, I thought I might see where people are sitting. Again, this is open for people to join teams until March 31st (unless like, reviews for RE3 start coming earlier or the like).
I think Resident Evil 3 will probably have the best reviews, but I like to live dangerously: put me down on team Final Fantasy VII!
Wouldn't it be simpler to use OpenCritic because of their taking into account every platform for the score? RE3 is getting released on three platforms; if you use Metacritic, you'd have to figure out which version would determine the score, etc.
Apologies if this has been addressed before.

Metacritic affects devs a bit more actively which is why I use it, but usually there's a more clear "complete" Metacritic over the other ones which I'll use. OpenCritic is what I'll use if there's a resulted tie though.
