Majin-Tenshinhan said: I see it the other way around. Remakes aren't as popular as one might think, even if the first game was. A new entry into the franchise would easily prove more profitable. I refer to my earlier post, my expectations for a FFVII remake would be somewhere around 4-5 million (which is absolutely fantastic for a remake), but for a brand new FF game 5 million is pretty much the lowest it could possibly sell. There's simply no reason for them to remake FF7 on a HD system when it costs so much, and especially when this is current hardware we're dealing with. Why make a FF7 remake and make $30 million when you can make FF15 with the same costs and make $80 million?* |
But you can't. There's no feasible way their dvelopment costs would be the same.
