When they realized that Advent Children had already hit the one hour mark, they just said "why not" and kept on going to make it a full feature-lengh film. What happened to that motivation? Fucking Square; Sony better get on their asses because Microsoft, with its gazillions of launch titles and a year-long head start, is seriously threatening to dethrone the PlayStation. I don't think Sony understands how badly it needs a FF7 remake, because Xbox wasn't even supposed to be half as successful as it is now.

On a side note, it would be fucking hilarious if they released the remake for Nintendo Revolution. I don't see why they couldn't. FF6 was repackaged for PlayStation although it originally released for SNES. Would you be for or against seeing the FF7 remake on Nintendo Revolution? I'm for it, as long as there's a FF7 remake, bottom line.

To be honest i would buy any console just for the remake

The reason they chose the opening sequence to be a demo for the PS3 is because almost all FFVII fans would remember that scene with Aerith picking up the flowers and cloud jumping off the train in Midgar. Other than the fact that it would trigger waves in the gaming community with news that "FFVII is being remade", it's also to show the the gamers how powerful the PS3 is, and how technology has come since the blocky Cloud and Aerith we once knew. As much as I like FFVII, I would also rather have a new FF game than a remake. We can always play the old PS1/PC FFVII.

Because there has never been a game based on what originated as a tech demo? There was a realtime 3D FFVIII demo released for the PS2 and there sure wasn't a remake of that. It takes minimal effort to render a minute of footage compared to scripting A.I., writing dialogue, coding a game engine etc.

It's not even a game engine powering these graphics, just graphical assets.

Yeah, but it's ok to waste time on coding a game engine and writing dialogue when it comes to faggot ass Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. Fuck Square. Nobody needs a tech demo from them. Egotistical faggots.

What the shit? Yeah, those games you've never played (and in Crisis Core's case, one that hasn't even been previewed) sure do suck. Hurr. It's a few fucking video games, chill out, you insult it like Dirge beat up your sister.

Guys, i know we all like to speculate and what not about this kind of thing... but how about getting some actual INFO to go off? And maybe adding a link!

Gamespots impression: "Not a question of IF there will be a remake, but WHEN"

It makes alot of sense for them to remake it, because I can guarantee people will turn out in droves to buy it. Its an economic no-brainer (and i just really want a remake of this game so damn bad!)
