TIL splitting a remake into multiple parts is deemed risky and ambitious.
No one who played the original game imagined that something that looks as breathtaking as the remake would ever exist.
Every person I've showed this to has been blown away.
It's only around here people are downplaying or trashing the massive amount of effort being put in this game.
You're hearing sweeping orchestral remakes of songs, stunning visuals, modernizing the battle system to make it live action... tons of detail in every scene.. "well it was expected, nothing to see here. It was already gonna be a hit".
Yeah, with that mindset they could've just phoned it in but they didn't. They're bringing lessons they learned from FFXV, Kindom Hearts, etc... And you can tell the game is being developed by people who were actually fans of the original.
What they're doing is actually stunning. And I hope they succeed wildly. I think it's fantastic that an entire new generation is going to discover this game looking in a way that no one could have dreamt it would have looked like decades ago.
It's ambitious, it's passionate, and I want to see more of that especially from Square going forwar
Technically Bungie did it. Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 all it's DLC's (except RoI, and Forsaken/Shadowkeep) were supposed to be part of just the base destiny story.Who has done it before? Whether successfully or unsuccessfully?
So you're telling me I just dreamt up RE:RE2? Come on SQ didn't create the word remake.
FFXIII is also an ambitious project, but i think VII is gonna do better too :^PI mean they're splitting one game into three or more full sized parts and expanding it drastically, it will probably take the better part of the next decade to get it all out. It's an incredibly ambitious project. No one knows if it's can succeed and it's got a ton of expectations to live up to.
He's been playing too much FFXIV
splitting a game that is guaranteed to sell, into multiple parts, so you can sell it for $60 multiple times, is "ambitious and risky"?Sometimes I realize how ambitious and risky square is being by splitting a single game from the 90s into likely 3+ huge big budget modern AAA games.

For people saying that it's a cash grab for being split into parts, I 'd like to ask, do you think its possible to recreate FFVII, in its entirety, with the production values we've seen so far from the remake, in a single release?
I've been gaming for 30 years so believe me I totally see what you're saying on the played them before front. I think games benefit a lot more from the remaster remake treatment than films do however not just visually but mechanically as well. Take Resident Evil 2, it might be a remake but it plays massively differently with modern quality of life upgrades and changes.Yeah I know, but there has been an uptick recently in how many remakes we're getting and as someone who has played a lot of classic games my opinion is I'd rather not have remakes of games I've played before
I get why people like/want them, but Hollywood is already stale due to endless sequels and remakes/reboots, so it would be nice to see gaming not go down the same path
It's all just a bit safe and shows a lack of creatively
Jesus christ I cannot take some of the shit hyperbolic thread titles on here. "Hitherto undreampt of?". I mean what the fuck, me thinks thou must be quite the intelligent gentle sir, unbeknownst to m'lady.

I wouldn't want every game ever remade or anything but PlayStation one classics like Resident Evil 2, Spyro and Final Fantasy etc are pretty good targets for the upgrade I feel and as long as new titles keep coming out it's all good :)
Nobody, because nobody is as dumb as nails as Square is when it comes to this kind of thing. Seriously, you looking at spending $200 just to have the plot of one game from 20 years ago sold back to you. I don't know about you, and as much as I do want to play the game, it's ridiculous that Square is getting a pass on splitting the game in to so many parts because...They can't get the whole game done in a timely manner?Who has done it before?

SOTC is still two generations old at this point and ran terribly on original software as it was pushing the limit so its upgrade isn't a total waste. It did get a PS3 remaster though and otherwise plays identically but it's popular so I guess it was worth it?Well SoTC got a pointless remake, and people on Era seem to get hyped as hell for remakes so that's probably the way things are going
I don't like it because let's look at Zelda
We used to get console and handheld Zelda games, both unique, both awesome
Now it looks like we'll get open world Zelda games and remakes of Zelda games
The remakes of Zelda games will be cool, but we used to get 2 original Zelda games, and now we probably won't
It's just so boring and predictable. Remember this post when ALTTP remake is announced, and the Oracle games, and watch no one grumble about how we're now getting less new Zelda games other than a handful of people as everyone loses their minds over playing a prettier ALTTP, a game that still looks and plays fine
Maybe I'm wrong and maybe we'll still get new handheld style Zelda games, but that seems unlikely to me. It's lame as it's happening across all media, TV shows and films being rebooted and remade left right and centre and people going wild for it. It's just so drab and shows no thought of creatively

Never been a huge fan of Zelda so don't know a lot about it but aren't dev times to develop new games a lot longer now days? And The Switch is both a handheld and console in one right? And none of this stopped Nintendo making from what I hear from fans one of the best games ever in Breath of the Wild?
I mean if you compare remakes with actual new titles coming out they are a tiny percentage. You're acting like it's all that are happening now ha ha.
Guess it just doesn't bother me much XD
Turning a 5hs story arc into an entire game of 40hs is ambitious to me.
A remake of Super Mario RPG where the first part is a 40-hour game that takes place entirely in Bowser's Castle.
are you seriously leaning on the cauldron of the cosmos?
