I understand this will cost almost as much (if not more) than GTA , but my question is why can't they fit it all on one project? I keep hearing they'll run into budget cuts which ultimately leads to cut content, but why can't they avoid this?
I am willing to understand their decision to play it safe, but if Rockstar could make GTA V, this should be no problem.

They have many projects going right now . It's easy for a company like Rockstar to make GTA V because they aren't Japanese workaholics who overload themselves with projects, and the have a bigger global team IIRC.
>>319642137
I was going to make this thread. Thanks.
>>319642351
How long have people wanted this remake? How many people want this remake?
This is the most hyped video game remake in history, it's kind of a big deal, they have a lot riding on it, and you make it sound like it's just another project to them, and maybe they feel that way too, but with something as big as this, you can't cut corners, and you can't stray too far away from the source material. And an episodic remake is, in my mind, just a way to cut corners.
>>319642278
Just think of all the Jessie porn this remake will indirectly give birth to.
>>319643110
Ever since that PS3 tech demo 10 years ago.
>>319642137
Where are people getting this "episodic" bullshit from?
They said "multiple installments" much like FFXIII-1-2-3. The interview NEVER mentions "episodes." That was a horrid mistranslation.
>>319643456
Final Fantasy VII is a 40 hour JRPG. How the hell are they going to get enough new material to squeeze multiple installments out of it?
Stray too far from the source material, and you no longer have a remake.
>>319643456
This.
All I know is this is going to lead to an INCREDIBLE Gold Saucer, which is all I really want.

What is this, witcherfag's revenge after getting shat on for so long they have to take it out on a completely unrelated game?
>>319643736
I assume by adding more/extended story beats, more side quests, larger world map, etc.
>>319642278
I'm ready for the flood of her porn.
>>319643736
I hope to fuck they don't pull a Hobbit on the game and try and pad it out with weird lore shit from the films and stuff that nobody gives a fuck about.
>>319642351
GTA also sells 5 times more than FF7 did
did you retarded faggots seriously think this remake was going to be good when it was announced at E3?
>>319644185
Well, the good thing about Advent Children is that it was informed by the original game in it's entirety. It didn't add anything to the lore that wasn't already there, so it can't influence the remake. It's completely harmless.
Worry more about Crisis Core.
>>319643815
adding or extending too much will stray too far from the source, and if they don't do it properly, it will be too obvious that it's all just filler.
Essentially what you will have is like a good 5 hours of the original material, and somewhere around 15-35 hours of new content and sidequests. That's too much filler. I don't want to play a Final Fantasy VII remake that's only 30% Final Fantasy VII.
>>319644962
Hell no, over the past decade Square has done nothing but shit on FF7's legacy with a glut of abysmal spin-offs, why should this remake be any different.
>>319645075
I am going to rage so hard if they romanticize Zack's death again with that cringey speech.
>>319642137
>I keep hearing they'll run into budget cuts which ultimately leads to cut content, but why can't they avoid this?
Oh my fucking god, you people are the densest motherfuckers on the planet. They can't avoid it the same way you can't avoid not having enough cash for a Bentley. In order to not cut anything from the game, but still make it a AAA title, they would literally need more money than they have. They would bankrupt their company before they're able to make any of their investment back.
Jesus fucking christ, you people seriously believe game development is just waving a fucking wand and costs nothing and all the time it takes is just the devs being lazy to wave the wand around, don't you?
People still moaning about this?
I thought all the whiners got told after the last interview on monday.
Creating Midgar alone will probably cost the same amount as your usual game. Regardless of this being "the most anticipated game bluh bluh" this is still
1) in a niche genre
and
2) anticipated by faggots like us from the psone era
The main audience these days don't remember FF7, this game will have to be massive to capture the magic of the original, it'll never be able to contain as many story beats as the original in just one release.
>>319645489
They plan to make multiple installments, and add an ass load of new content. Forget like 70% of that new content and just keep the game the way it was, it's just gonna be dumb modern day Cloud fanboy shit anyways.
>>319645576
No one has to remember FF7, they only have to know who Cloud is, and every 15-25 year old piece of trash who has ever played a Kingdom Hearts game or watched Advent Children knows who Cloud is.
>>319645930
Even worse are the newfags who jumped on the bandwagon thanks to Crisis Core, and they constantly wank over what a badass Zack is while calling Cloud a loser emo who stole Zack's girl etc.
>>319645720
What does any of that have to do with what I said? The base game is way, way too large and content-heavy to remake as a single $60 title. Them cutting down on the new content won't change the need for the game to be in multiple parts, it might maaaaaaaaybe make it into 3 parts instead of 4, but frankly I'd take 4 if it means even more content.
This has been reiterated a billion times already, but here it is again:
>SQUARE MAKE FF7 REMAKE
>Sorry, that would be too expensive due to the sheer scope of such a project.
>SQUARE MAKE FF7 REMAKE NOW!
>We're sorry, but that would not only be too expensive, it would also take much longer than our usual development time.
>FOR FUCK'S SAKE SQUARE JUST DO IT YOU FAGGOTS
>Fine. Okay. We'll do it. But we told you, this thing will be way too expensive and it will take a long time. The only way we can feasibly make it without bankrupting ourselves is if we cut it up into parts. In the end, you'll get the entire game with no cut content whatsoever, and we'll even add more stuff to it, how does that sound?
>FUCK YOU SQUARE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS YOU FAGGOTS
>>319643795

You think the Witcher will be remembered 20 years from now?
>>319644824
GTA has also come out for every system since. FF7 was just on PS and PC initially.
>>319643341
Yes, let's compare an old game, who the only people that would log in their time in at this point are people who have played it death, to a recent title that everyone and their mum plays. That's not skewed at all.
Shocking, I know - you get better average times for a game played 99% by enthusiasts and speedrunners, than you'd get on a game played by average gamers.
>>319646420
V did 20 million on the PS3 and it wasn't even exlusive, the PS3 never reached the PS1 sales figure either. FF7 really doesn't sell all that well to advocate an advertising budget as big as it's going to get.
>>319646303
Books are older and people somehow remember them, so yes people will be aware of something called witcher in 2035.
>>319642137
>I understand this will cost almost as much (if not more) than GTA
You are fucking retarded
>>319642137
Literally cashing in on modern audiences.
>>319642137
GTA V was small as fuck
If Midgar is as small as Los Santos people will literally riot
GTA also has more assured sales because it's more popular
You think this remake can reach 50 million sales?
You think this remake can cost less than 300 million dollars?
You think they can cut corners in this game without having literal death threats sent to them?
Do you want them to rush it and release a hastly put together mess like mgsv was?
A lot of people bring up witcher 3
First of all Witcher 3 is small compared to the size this remake would have
Second of all witcher 3 cost about 90 million dollars
Now consider that the average polish wage is about 800 vs the 3000 average wage japan has
See how much of an insane project this is
>>319647162
If you think programmers who work at CDPR getting typical polish wage as some lady shopkeeper then you high as fuck.
