im seriously jealous of all those able to go man.
sounds like it is going to be an awesome event
i mean The Witness will be playable! come on now
Haha, that's why they're teaming up with From to make Bloodborne, right?
It's not about reliability and consistency. It's about what matters.
FFVII matters more than anything that Japan Studio has ever made.
You'd bet if they were given an opportunity to jump on that ship they would.

I'd rather Kitase concentrate on FFXVI. Get back in the director's chair, pull Ito in as battle designer/co-director to take some of the pressure off, work with Nojima & Naora again (hell, get Naora to do character designs as Nomura is so busy), and limit Toriyama to event director or something with a tight leash.
Wasting all of that time, money, & talent on a remake does not sit well with me. Would I be excited? Sure- I love FFVII, but I'd much rather see something new & despite the XIII mess I'm still convinced Kitase can headline another legendary FF.

Waste of time? Sure, they would not be developing something new.
But waste of money? Are you serious? They'll have to go reaally overboard with their budget to actually lose money in a project like this. This is probably the remake that is guaranteed to sell the most millions.
That being said, it's not happening people, c'mon. The remake will come one day, but most definitely not now.

Purely from an internal development perspective, Japan Studio isn't all that great. A creative bunch, no doubt, but aside from Team Ico(Ueda) and Team Gravity(Toyama), the rest of Japan Studio internal doesn't seem to have the 'extra umpph' that captures the imaginations of fans.
But their external development are promising. And frankly, as long as they're working with the right external partners to develop content for the PS4, it doesn't really matter if it's not built in-house.
Because without Sony's financing of said games, those devs... would be making 3DS or mobile games instead.
I really wish Media.Vision & tri-Ace are given an opportunity to flex their muscles in developing console titles.

They gotta get back with Pyramid and make more Patapon quality stuff.

So FFVII being produced seventeen years ago and being one of the greatest games ever is totally representative of the SE of today, right? Great logic. Got it.
We need to wait a bit to see if the restructuring under the lead of ex-Santa Monica leadership will bring better game output.

If that happens, I hope that the army building returns. I miss seeing hundreds of arrows flying across the screen.

Agreed. I'd be happy with a new franchise but a new Patapon would be mad hype.
It's not about how good the game will be. I literally said it's not about reliability or consistency. Read, man.
Even if it stinks it'll sell loads. That's what matters at the end of the day.

im not talking about this interview.
It was from an french interview in 2008. Most of the Links are broken tough/dont work anymore (Kotaku)
But this is what he said

There was even a neogaf thread in 2008 about this

I have a strong feeling we'll be getting indie overload at this event and little else.

If you think Final Fantasy VII Remake is little else, then you're right.
Right?
Not happening.

We are getting an embarrassment of indie riches from this event, but everything indie has mostly been announced to appear in the event... before the event itself.

Japan Studio is just the best Sony's studio.

UC4 gameplay trailer alone will make this event worth it and get people hype.
Not during the PS3 era , sad thing is there huge compare Sony other studios .
It's only now ND and few others get bigger but Japan Studio is 400 plus people.

Japan Studio aren't consistent, but when they get it right they're hard to beat.

But now Sony Japan has a new Head (Allan Becker) who wants to make the studo big again.

And that is bad how? The Witness and No Man's Sky look better than anything Ubisoft or Activision is going to bring.

What he said back then is irrelevant. His view and Square Enix management have changed since then. That's why I brought up his latest opinion about FFVII remake.
This FFVII conversation shouldn't happen anymore. It's more like a fan's daydream at this point and it starts to derail this thread quite a bit.

Well, they announced FF XIII, Agito and Versus XIII. It wouldn't be unprecedented.
I'm not expecting it to be there, but not for the reasons you mentioned.
And I'm sure they learned their lesson real good on that one.
Agito was mobile.
And the other two was just plain stupid on their end.
Now, imagine that x3 if they have FFVII remake announced.
JuanLatino
Member
His opininion is irrelevant because he obviously cant talk about the game (if they are working on a Remake)
Do you expect him to say ? Yeah we are working on a Remake right now.
His answers make sense. A FF7 Remake would be his lifetime project and take a lot of him.
I believe in Verednus Words, who saw it with his own eyes!

Oh, I agree it would be stupid, but I wouldn't put it past Square.
I want them to announce FF VIIR when the game is a year away form launching anyways, so unless they have been secretly working on the game for years, I don't want to see it either.

I honestly can't even imagine the amount of money it would take to transfer a game of FFVII's size/scope to a modern/AAA project. It's absolutely mind-boggling to me & I just can't imagine them making it back, especially with JRPGs being in a down-trend WW in the past 10 years or so.
I guess we'll find out with FFXV, but I'll be surprised if that game's scope is anywhere near comparable to FFVII.

Japan Studio helped with Demons Souls last gen, thats more then enough. Not enough credit is given to Takeshi Kajii I think for his work with Miyazaki on the title. Truly groundbreaking stuff I think and they seemed to get along well together according to interviews they did.
Right now, they seem to be very similar.
Metal Slug for Ps4 and Vita. New announcement for a fighter would be great tho.
A new MS?
Nah, i believe it is 3.

Yes we have all been money hatted.
A port of a 14 year old game seems like hardly a good reason to invite them but oh well.

It seems like they're trying to make a very high quality version of it

Well, we know what Sony are like when it comes to funding IPs they don't own - it doesn't happen. Of course if the stars aligned and it did happen I'm sure Sony would gladly pay for this as it would be a strong exclusive, but I also think the way the company is at the moment they'd rather focus that money inwards, and as I said before, I don't believe in SE's capabilities as a developer to do the original game justice with a remake.

It's a very good version of Metal Slug 3
But I'd want another KoF anyway. They did say they're making one so it definitely is coming. I don't think it'll be at the Playstation Event though

No one's talking about Morpheus. Anyone expecting anything? Or even excited about it?

Yeah I am. Even though I think it may be an "indie darling" as I think that the device is going to see it's most innovative uses in indie games. Because they're more likely to take risks and also because their games are more likely to run on Morpheus well.
As we get closer I think the hype will get unbearable as we could see some amazing things or maybe not much at all.
I'm willing to bet that this event will be pretty good as I think Sony would want to wrestle some momentum back their way. At the moment it seems that MS has most of the PR mindshare. The timing just before Christmas is perfect.
