@ Bolded Where did that logic come from? WHose to say that they make back back what they lose. Also how do you know that they make back enough for another full project. They are already working on more than a dozen projects, and there probably are many more not anounced yet.
Your other point is true, but a considerable amount of the developement costs are the graphics. That is why hd console developement cost is about 4 times more than that of the wii.

Isn't it obvious where that logic came from? They would have to make more than what is already in their entire company to actually gain a profit if they use all of their money on the development of their games.
|
And none of the games I mentioned were released yet. SO how are they going to get money? Also I believe the last time square enix reported their profits there weren't too many. Definately not enough for another game to start developement. ALso you forgot to acknolede there is nobody to develop the remake, because almost everybody is working on everything else.

That's profit though; money that they earned. It's not like they lost money. They didn't even release any of their big games last year, so it's obvious that 2007 would be a slow year for them from 2006 when they released FFXII which gave SE enormous profit. A company doesn't necessarily need to make a big profit from it's last fiscal year to make a big budget game.
SE isn't going to make FF7 ASAP anyway, they're working on other games namely FFXIII and Versus XIII. I never said they would try to make FF7 right now.
|
ANd that is what I'm trying to say. They won't be developing it anytime soon. And by the time they do have time for it, it would take them more years than the generation would have left.
|
I doubt it would take SE several years to remake FF7, the cost would be the only big thing. Of course they would have made a lot of money from FFXIII and Versus XIII not including all of their other games.
Time-wise, it should be much less consuming because not only is the story done but the set-up is done as well. Meaning how everything works in FF7 is done(the "what happens next" dilemma) aside of a possible change in combat if SE chooses.
Alright, I gotta go to sleep for work tomorrow. Although I might lurk a little before I do. See ya.
