FF7 PS4 port is better than a remake!

While I agree that it was stupid of them to make this a moderate or any scale of on stage announcement (why troll your own fans) I do think that if SE tried to alter more than just the graphics of FF7 they would fuck it up. The only thing that gets me tho, why is this taking 7+ months to port over to the PS4? Would take less time to build a psone emulator from the ground up on the PC and get it working, are SE giving this port job to 1 intern or is there some extra work going to be done to it, because that amount of time for a straight port is weird.

Actually, this amount of time is normal for Square Enix. Took them 2 or 3 years to remaster FFX, took Naughty Dog at most one year (probably less) to remaster TLOU.

Some devs are just slower than others and Square Enix have proved time and time again that they are one of the slowest.

That's the thing tho, even the remaster of FFX+X2 had a bit of work going into it, this just sounds like a copy paste of the steam game onto the ps4 hardware, given the models that it's moving around being so basic I would think you could take a small % of the ps4's power and software emulate the steam version in less than 7months.... if you weren't SE I guess? :<
