Forums - Sony - Would a FFVII remake overshadow FFXIII exclusivity loss?

Hephaestos on 26 August 2008

I think VII's potential is overrated.... it was already a 3D game with CGI, what but a graphic boost and voice acting would this bring to the game? It would be a lifting not a remake and thus I doubt there will be the same success as the DS itterations of FFs (and PS3's userbase is much smaller than DS'...)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Nope.. If it's gonna happen.. it's gonna be at least 2011.. and then we will be waiting for the Next XBox and Wii2... so nobody is gonna care about FFvii on the PS3..

No; cause it won't sell as much as XIII will do, it won't overshadow XIII, only we here at VGC and people at other places on the internet, will talk about it like it's the greatest thing ever.

yes for the versus but im sure if when it comes out the ps3 is surpassing the xbox in sales it will definately sell substatioally more on the ps3

 

ne1 now when it is supposed be out



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

A big YES.

"that's basically the same if Sony went after Gears 3"

Nope it is not the same
Final Fantasy as a brand name is miles ahead of Gears. And part of this rpg legend is the fact that FF7 put sony at the number 1 position back then as you mentioned.
For me FF 13 on 360 was one of the most shocking news in recent videogames history. And from the mouth of Square's president himself. This move alone might leave sony at the third place and open japan market for ms.

 

but ff13 360 is not going to be released in japan.

 

also the ps3 japanese version will be released alot of time before the ps3 english and 360 port ever starting.

FFVII will never be remade because S-E doesn't churn games out like they used to and they're scared of disappointing because there will always be haters.

The loss of FFXIII can't be healed with any consolation price but I think most die hard PS fans are already over it.

Forgive my ignorance but what consumer is being "heart broken" by FFXIII being on the 360.

PS3 owners shouldnt be - they are still getting the game
360 owners shouldnt be - they are also getting this game

Anyone who says rubbish like GTA4 would have been better if it was PS3 exclusive is being unrealistic. Maybe the graphics might have been a tiny bit better due to the larger texture capacity but I'm sure the 360 version could have been better if all time had been spent working on its version as well. Either way we are talking about a tiny percentage here or there anyhow. Bare in mind that for a game like FFVIII no 360 owner would have any issue with it appearin on multiple disks, 10 disk loads (hypothetically!) over the course of a 60 hour experience is nothing espeicially if you are switching disks anyway to play other games.

Surely this announcement is simple business sense and the only people to be disheartened are the Sony marketing machine. Having *rough estimate at time of release* twice the console audience to sell a fantastic game is going to make you more cash.

Square Enix have even more incentive to produce a fantastic sequel, lets all celebrate and just look forward to a *hopefully* cracking game.
