Why Do SE Refuse to Remake FF VII?

A) Remakes sell well... but not amazing. So even if they did remake it... remaking it on PS3 or even PS3/360 would be a ludicrous decision that would be lucky to break even.

 

It'd be lucky to sell 3 million... and considering how much FF13 and FF Versus likely cost....

I don't see 3 million making a profit for SE on HD FF7.

How much do you expect the costs to be for HD FF? Well, I bet 100M+ at minimum for FFXIII. Maybe 20M for Versus.

I think your wrong on both accounts FF13 is not 100mill+ and FF 13 VS is definitely way more than 20mill...20mill is like a average HD game

Yeah,  i agree.  Honestly I think they're both probably around 50-60 Million.  It doesn't look like they're spending any less on Versus to me.

Though when you throw in advertising who knows it coud get up to 100.

 

I'd expect FF7 to cost a similar amount unless they "cheaped" out on it.  They've got to redraw all the assets afterall...  I mean if you wanna see how bad that gets... look at GT5.  They basically stated the reason the game took so long was all the HD models.

I can't see too many asset reuses from 13-14... and I can't see them going lesser quality or people will bitch.
