Corpse Run 541: Hippos
My love of the Resident Evil series notwithstanding, I feel infinitely more comfortable with the announcement that Resident Evil 2 will receive a remake than I am with the FF7 one.
Forget about the fact that FF7 has a ton of visual, narrative, and gameplay elements that are unlikely to survive a transition into a modern release (although those are all things worth discussing). Let’s keep in mind that Capcom already made a wildly successful remake of one of their earlier games, Resident Evil 1. The GameCube REmake was absolutely stellar, completely rebuilding the game from the ground up and having new scenario planning that was arguably more fun than the initial game.
Also, it was gorgeous.
The FF7 remake will outsell it’s RE2 counterpart, but I’m convinced that RE2 is in better hands.
Experienced hands.
Current Game Generation = HD Remake/Remaster Generation
Let me help you out here dear commenter: Current Generation of Movies, Shows and Video Games = HD Remake/Remaste/Reboot Generation
I’m getting to the point, where I kind of start boycotting these things out of annoyance 😀 To be fair, I still wanna see the FFVII Remake (if it has the old gameplay)
but the focus is on the current generation who haven’t played it yet, so it doesn’t feel repetitive to them
Side note, I believe they confirmed to be changing the battle system in FF7
I believe my thoughts on this can best be summed up by a Critical Miss strip. It’s not that Final Fantasy 7 is getting remade. It’s that it’s getting remade by Square ENIX. Not Square. Square ENIX. What was the first Final Fantasy they made? FF X-2. Not 10 on its own, 10-2. Since then we’ve had such gems as Final Fantasy XIII and XIV from them. This is going to tank harder than the Blitzkreig.
The only probably I have with older video games is missing something due to bad graphics that WASN’T intentional. If it was their intent to make something difficult, fine. If I’m lost in the sewers because I didn’t realize that left was an option, it’s not fine.
FF7 wasn’t my favorite, but I’d play it again if the ONLY THING THEY DID was make it pretty. I won’t even try if they fudge with it.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GAME THAT ENDED UP BEING WIND WAKER, BUT I REALLY JUST WANT TO PLAY OOT WITH THE PRETTY GRAPHICS????
GAMES WHY DO YOU BETRAY ME!
Also, posting comments waaaay too often.
