Besides Kingdom Hearts, annoyingly. (III has dual audio on PC weirdly, but not the others, no dual audio on console)
there's a fan mod out there that adds this to the PC version, just a heads up

called Re:Fixed iirc. adds a ton of QoL stuff in general

This could perfectly mean Remake intergrade will be on all platforms.

Blue = Playstation
Green = Xbox
Red = Switch (Can be Cloud version (No pun intended))
Black = PC ( It can be the existing Epic Version or the announcement for Steam)

For those wondering why Playstation and PC if it is already there?, I think is just for context.

Again, hoping this is somehow more of a vague remake than a rerelease (even though I wish it was more the good bits integrated into 7R instead). The DMW system just stinks.

Snitch liked a tweet about it being Crisis Core so it's probably that.

Interesting choice. I don't remember much about it except crying my eyes out at the ending.

Also Zack > Cloud.

As a huge FFVII fan, I bought a PSP primarily so I could play Crisis Core. Even got that limited edition, silver coloured, Crisis Core-themed console.

The game was shite. Just pure bobbins. Even without the character of Genesis it still wouldn't be a very good game, but Genesis is the shit icing that's liberally applied all over the shit cake. He's insufferable.

To all you folks out there who have never played it but are excited to, I would temper your expectations and then some.
Counter opinion: I fucking loved Crisis Core. Fun gameplay and gorgeous soundtrack. Story is goofy, but it's a FFVII spinoff so of course it is.

Also, Rick Gomez is a WAY better voice for Zack than whoever they got for Remake. Like, it's not even close.

Have they said at all how they plan to handle the passing of Keiji Fujiwara, the Japanese voice actor for Reno?

I'm hyped for this, I really enjoyed Crisis Core. So I hope it's an HD port/Remaster/Remake whatever. I'll take it.
Zack is the best.

To be fair (pun not intended), we have a full game with Rick Gomez (amazing voice) and like 2 minutes of the new actor in Remake. There's no reason to think that the new guy can't do a great job too.

And i think that new voice actor crushed his Yuffie DLC lines. Considering the Remake crew hasn't missed with a single casting choice yet, we shouldn't judge him based on the "Boy oh boy" line delivery. That could've been how he was directed.

I guess I'll have to play this to fully appreciate the rest of FFVIIR, huh?

I've heard good things about it but the weird slot machine bullshit is such a hard turn-off for me.

Crisis Core was absolutely awful aside from a few positives, like the music and showing Sephiroth's soft side before he went insane.

Other than that, just all around terrible.

Good for CC fans, I suppose, but can't say I'm hyped.

Yes Square, continue to invalidate parts of my emulation collection and give me more native ports dammit!

The combat was real time, so the slots didn't really amount to much other than damage bonuses and limit breaks.

The roulette was the worst... This needs a gameplay overhaul...heck, just copy/paste the 7R combat.

First thing that come out of my mind is....

"ACTIVATING COMBAT MODE"

Seriously, PS4 and PS5 can run PSP games now.

They don't need to do all that mess they made with Type-0 HD running on two engines trying to boost visual quality while reaching budget constraints.

Just figure it out the licensing issues and put as a classic title at 1440p

I imagine they want it on other platforms as well.

Watch those bastards put the PSP version of Crisis Core on PSN… Only for PS+ Premium users.

Seriously though, I'd be all about a remaster. It was an amazing game.

While the new guy sounded better in the DLC, we did get a literal 1:1 comparison of the two since Zack's big scene in the regular game was literally a direct copy of the one from Crisis Core, same dialogue and all.
showing Sephiroth's soft side before he went insane.
Easily my favorite part of the game. Bro Sephiroth was so much fun to hang with.

This would really have to be more "Remake" than "Remaster."

I played through it again recently and...how do I put this generously...?

It's an extremely "portable" game.

I would expect some basic combat rebalancing, but they're not going to turn it into a different game. Crisis Core is gonna be Crisis Core.

If this happens I'll need dirge of cerberus remaster, or PS2 on PS4, to be the happiest gamer alive.

Loved that silly game.

Assuming the tweet really is about Crisis Core: We think Square Enix is really going to release Crisis Core, of all things, on all the platforms, while keeping FF7R exclusive to PlayStation forever? What the hell kind of marketing strategy is that? Wouldn't that be like a big middle finger to everyone who's not on PlayStation? If you're on Xbox or Switch, you get to experience this one weird lame side story part of the franchise, but not the parts everyone is excited about?

Who am I kidding, if anyone would do this, Square Enix would be the ones to do it. Nothing they do makes any sense to me any more.

I buy stuff for all the major platforms and I've bought FF7R twice, so idgaf about console wars, so don't read that into what I'm saying please. Also I played Crisis Core on day 1 on my PSP and I liked it. To borrow a phrase from a very cool developer, it is an extremely OK game.

I don't know... With the new emphasis and legitimacy VIIR puts on the Compilation, I could see it getting an upgrade into VIIR's battle system using "precycled" assets made for VIIR and VIIR2.


Sounds just fine.

VIIR:Intergrade is available on PC.

Yeah I don't think I'd be able to go through this game again. The story and characters were wack and I don't even think back of the gameplay fondly.
