SCE didn't fund FFVII, or work on it directly.  Same deal as Microsoft and NG2, they just picked it up for overseas release and a threw it a gigantic moneyhat / advertising campaign.

Also, remake = / = port.

SCE Published the game (And hugely advertised it) in NA and Europe, didn't they? I'd call that working on it directly.

But judging by what you said, you also think it's possible for a Gears of War Collection to appear on PS3? It wont be a Port, it wont be Gears 1, 2 or 3. It will be a seperate release. Yes?

If Epic Games want to do it. They can.

I'm talking creation.  As in a development capacity.  There were Microsoft staff developing Gears 1-3.  Sony staff weren't developing FFVII.  Microsoft funded development for Gears 1-3.  Sony didn't fund development for FFVII.  There's a pretty clear difference here, one was intrinsically involved in creation of the game, the other wasn't.

It's the same story for Sony with the PS1 Crash and Spyro games, or recently with Heavy Rain.  That's why they strike good parallels with Gears 1-3 (or Shadow Complex btw) and games like FFVII or NG2 don't.  Owning the IP isn't necessarily owning the game, that's in large part why the Nintendo/Rare split was so messy, to the point where they can't even work out a Goldeneye reissue today.

Gears 1-3 won't appear on PS3 (or any PlayStation, ever) in any way, shape or form.  A Gears game could, maybe even Gears 4, but not 1-3.  

There are a lot of things incorrect here.
