SE's situation is so bad that they pull the ff7 remake card. God drat.

I keep seeing this, but not only has Square had a really solid past couple years, but people out in the wider world just don't shut up about a VII remake and keep heckling them for it. Forget "desperate", it's a decision any company that wants money would make.

Shenmue 3 is already up to 157k in 20 minutes, and that's with Kickstarter making GBS threads itself and throwing 503s constantly.

You just jinxed it, we're going to get a slightly upressed version of the original that mods have been able to do for years after Nomura overdoses on whatever drug he's on.

Just gonna copy-paste what I said in a different thread because :effort:

I think VII is a great game but I also think that people have overly polarized views of it due to time and its popularity, as if it was either the best thing or the worst thing in the world. In reality it was this weird and cool thing with a whole bunch of flaws and a cast full of insane people living in a batshit world that people remember for really dumb reasons like ~*Sephiroth*~ and how much they cried when Aeris died, and there is zero chance that a faithful remake would live up to the weird and coloured childhood image most people have of it.

I'm curious about it but at the same time I really want them to just leave that poor game alone.

I'd like to see how the remake people will deal with with Cloud being a doofus in the original FF7 instead of being Mr. Angst like he is now.

Nomura's the one that made him Mr. Angst and coincidentally he's on this project, so there's your answer.

I hope they keep that stuff in. FF7 is such a bonkers game that leaving out all of that weird stuff would just fundamentally change it.

Maybe a remake should fundamentally change the game though.

What's interesting about the trailer, is that Roberto Ferrari is credited as a Character Designer next to Tetsuya Nomura.

Oh, and it's a CGI trailer by Square-Enix for a game that has no target release date and is directed by a guy who has not shipped a AAA console game in ten years. I'm sure nothing will go wrong.

Silvain posted:

Tai Tasui is the real director of the game. The game is also running on UE4 which has excellent technical support. There's a lot of external pressure from Disney to ship games since it owns the IP and now distributes the games under the Disney Interactive label.

Yeah, there is that, but just knowing that it's an actual thing that they're working on with the intent to release it is pretty amazing to me. I have incredibly fond memories of FF7, so even if the remake turns out badly I'll be on that poo poo day one and loving it.

That's sort of his point, there's a better-than-average chance it won't turn out at all. Nomura has proven over and over that he likes doing purty cutscene mockups but hates anything related to actually designing a drat video game.

Curb your enthusiasm now before it gains momentum. None of us want to relive the Versus hype engine again.

Well, guess I'm going to have to eventually get a PS4. I know remade VII will probably be made all serious and whatnot, but I'll still play the poo poo out of it. That and The Last Guardian, which I'd been pretty convinced was permanently lost in development hell.

1) No he hasn't. He's failed on one game - Versus. Before that he had a solid track record.

2) The failure to produce good games in a timely fashion was something rooted in almost the entirety of the SE design process, so singling Nomura out for it is stupid.

It's really weird how people blame Versus 13 not getting worked on entirely on Nomura when the HD transition hosed Square's big 7th titles in general and they also put the guy on multiple other projects after Versus was announced, including directing multiple Kingdom Hearts games to completion.

Well this version of FF7 definitely looks a lot more detailed than the old PS3 tech demo. Glad to see Barret's got a real gun on his arm now and not some weird stub thing. Shame that Nomura's involved in this since it means it'll probably never happen unless someone else takes over for him.

Except the didn't have a "rally solid" past couple of years. The big thing that gave them a good 2014 is that FF14 managed an unprecedented come back that nobody expected and it's gone from "oh gently caress we might go bankrupt again and need to merge with another company to ruin" to " YoshiP and his team can do no wrong."

UE4 is fantastic though hopefully the weird water/buoyancy/swimming issues have been fixed since the last time I fired it up because "oh just go in and code a system for it" is not what people should be telling you when you're trying out a map maker. :catstare:
