[HabeeNo]

In my opinion, the biggest troll in gaming history

Seriously...

 

[Caronte]

I don't even like FFVII and even I felt trolled.

 

[NahaNago]

I will be honest: when the FFVII logo came on the screen, I thought he was announcing the remake and my heartbeat started to go fast and my breathing got weird.

I got trolled hard.

Anyways, if this is the PC version, maybe we'll get the achievements that Steam got.

I honestly was exactly the same way when that final fantasy 7 title came up.

[tanod]

This basically ruined the keynote for me. Mouth was agape during the trailer.

"What the fuck are they showing me?!?!?"

 

[inner-G]

This segment seriously ruined the show.

Brought the hype to a screeching halt

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

can someone shop that massive hype train image with everyone and everything on fire and burning to ashes?

 

[Isaccard]

Trophies and slightly updated models? Sure, fuck it - I'm in.

You fools haven't heard the midi's yet have you. Ahahaha

 

[AgentLampshade]

Be funny if nobody bought it since it's available damn near everywhere else.

 

[Seik]

This can't just be a PC port.

At least, AT THE VERY FUCKING LEAST, they'll slap the real music in.

Right guys?

...GUYS?!

 

[Pankratous]

This ruined the momentum of the whole conference.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

this.

 

[Mailbox]

I think this was SE finally telling us that the FFVII remake is finally being put to bed, while putting salt in our wounds.

FTFY

 

[pszet0]

I can't help but laugh LOL

10/10 Troll

 

[MrJonnyBigBoss]

Why would they do this? I mean, the port is fine, but the way it was presented was so rude.

 

[yatesl]

I just want to say again, this was truly beautiful. You can't write this stuff.

Just, bravo.

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

Look guys, if we all buy the port to show that we still want FFVII, they'll do a remake for sure!

Knowing Square it will be remake of Before Crisis for sure.

 

[protomouse]

IGN has no shame:

[burnfout]

JESUS I got trolled hard. I was yelling, THEY ARE DOING IT, THEY ARE FINALLY DOING IT. My GF came walking over to see what was up.

Fucking port. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

 

[Jazz573]

Is it really such a big deal that it's just a port? You should be happy you're even getting it.

 

[Sorral]

Man... who thought it was a good idea to put this on stage? Geez.

 

[zma1013]

 

[Ferrio]

Why doesn't Square make a remake, anyway? It's easy money, caters to nostalgia and allows younger players to try it for the first time with modern graphics.

Because right now it's a carrot they can dangle infront of us. They also know if they did do a remake it'd never live up to the hype.

 

[Tetra-9]

Square just shot themselves in the other foot.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

A fucking port for 2015. Jeez.

 

[drgambit]

So hilarious, this was the best news all day

 

[Sifl]

Well, if they wanted to disappoint everyone, at least they did it in an entertaining way.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Hohoho, those rascally SE pranksters are at it again

 

[super-famicom]

Hahaha, this is hilarious!

 

[GreatMightySymp]

Well, at least with trophies it'll give me a reason to keep going in the game.

I remember trying to play it a few years back and ended around some snow mountain area because the narrative took a nosedive and there was some sort of a difficulty spike that made things unenjoyable.

 

[VariantX]

Can't get excited about this. This is the definition of phoning it in. As much as I like the game on pc, I cant stand how the bgs look now. Those low res pre rendered backgrounds are going to look awesome on our big high definition tvs.
/s

 

[liquidtmd]

You fools haven't heard the midi's yet have you. Ahahaha

Now this I can get pissed at.

If they release it with Midis...

 

[TheGreatDirector]

They could have shown FFXV or even Type-0 HD in place of this...

 

[GayForMaster]

HAHAHAHA!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That was beyond anything even Kojima has pulled.

Masterful trolling Shinji......................

Jesus and i thought kojima and ono were godlike in the art form of trolling..this is just plain cruel.

 

[Empty]

i'm still laughing

it's spectacular

the funniest thing is that i almost thought that it was so deliberate and over the top of a self-parody that it was a bait and switch for a one last thing set up joke and he'd come back out at the end and announce it. that he didn't is even better. amazing how this happened.

 

[kingslunk]

They should've booed him off the stage.

And kept booing.

 

[Konosuke]

After Vib Ribbon they do this shit again?! What the fuck Square. It feels like they want people to rage. Bloody morons, you guys don't need people flocking to Twitter with rage filled tweets. EVERYONE WANTS A REMAKE MORONS.

 

[Huddy]

Maybe I just heard what I wanted to hear, but I swear he said upgraded graphics....

So is this a remaster?

 

[Betty]

Through the tears, this lessens the pain.

 

[Shin]

This was so damn dumb, when he came out and the logo came up I was like yes!!
Even my girlfriend woke up when she heard the FF7 music only to see it's a PC port.

 

[Dark_castle]

Still don't understand why this was happening. It's hysterically insane.

 

[random25]

My excitement turned into a big laugh fest while watching that SE segment. Excitement when the FFVII logo was shown, then starts to doubt when I'm not still seeing anything different, then just laughed out loud the moment the trailer ended.

Good job, SE! That was the most memorable segment in PSX!

 

[Lost Fragment]

Holy fucking shit it blows my goddamn mind that there are so many people who thought for even a second that it could be anything other than a port.

 

[Sephzilla]

So did the crowd go silent after they realized it was the PC port?

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Admit it guys, Square Enix got you guys.

They got me too :/

 

[Undubbed]

Maybe the plan is to show the old game and then much later reveal it's really the remake! Right guys? Right? Yes? ...

Yes, I'll keep telling myself that...................................

 

[AstuteClass]

I know people are going to be understandably upset. I am too. I was genuinely shouting "OMG" out loud, but let me ask you guys something that might put things in perspective for you..

If somebody would have asked you yesterday, would you want FFVII ported to the PS4 with upscaled resolution to 1080p along with Trophies and a Platinum (I'm assuming), or nothing... what would you have chosen?

 

[TheTux]

I doubt they could troll more than this.

If they announced XIII-4 the result would have been worse than this lol.

AHHAHAHAHHAH

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is it really such a big deal that it's just a port? You should be happy you're even getting it.

When you can play it on PS, PSN, PC already, do we really even need this port? I guess trophies if it has them, still though I can do without this.
