The story specifically says that it WON'T be a full HD-remake, so maybe tone down on the attitude?TheKasp said:

It's like gog.com.Exterminas said:
Sure, "The Incredible Machine" was released almost two decades ago, but good luck getting the not-gog.com version running.
Apparently, the old FFVII PC is impossible to get working on modern hardware. So this fixes that.
I'm actually pretty annoyed that this "new lease of life" is the same bloody game that's available on PSN with added micro-transactions. I love Final Fantasy 7 and all, in fact it's one of my favourites along with 5, 6 and 9 but this is just more of Square teasing people who want to see a legit remake of 7.
Of course there's always the chance that they're doing to see how high the sales will be and then if the figures are high enough they'll see that FF7 has enough interest for a proper remake.

Indeed there was one already, but (from what I've heard) it's a nightmare to get it to run in modern systems, not to mention the horrible, pixelated low res in today's hardware. Heck, I think it's a lot easier to get the game running with a PS1 emulator than making the PC version to work.Jonci said:
This new release is meant to adress the issues the original port had, in short, making a better port, 14 years later and making it easier to get it to run in newer systems.
Now, to my useless opinion: If it were released for Steam, I'd MAY buy this game, but now I'm not that much interested.
this isn't an HD remake, its ANOTHER re-release.TheKasp said:
that's all, the official site says nothing about HD, only that they added achievements (insert your favorite 'look at all the fucks i give' image here) and some lame stat booster thing (repeat image)
agreed, butExterminas said:
do you have the PC version of FF8 as well?
They were, technically. They were members of a team called the New Avengers. The first "New Avengers" comic was published in January 2005.templar1138a said:
OT: Meh. I'm indifferent. I played FFVII on my PS3 a while back and though it was decent, at best. It was an influential game, but by now it's really dated; the graphics are a bit painful to look at, the environments are difficult to navigate, there's no support for the analog stick, the translation was bad ("Off course!" and "This guy are sick" spring to mind) and, other than Limit Breaks, there's not enough things that differentiate the characters in battle. Unless this rerelease fixes many of these issues, then I'm not going to buy it. I bought it once and had my fill. I don't see the point in purchasing a game that I'm done with a second time.
Well...eh.
I'm not a big fan of FFVII (FFVIII being my favorite) but I was kinda hoping to see a full HD remake for a console. You know, like that one demo they showed ages ago and we just can't get over it (In all fairness, it was their own damn fault). Instead we got the same game we got years ago, same pixelated, square-like characters and cutscenes.
This is not even close to a HD remake. And I really don't care much who published the last FFVII PC version. It's still the same shit as the one that came out years ago for the PC, plust the ability to add patches and maybe new things...but still the same thing.
I know Square-Enix is just doing it so people can just shut up about a FFVII remake once and for all but...that's so not what we meant. Square, you're making it hard for me to keep my faith on you. I really like you. But sometimes I wonder...

The FMVs shown in the trailer are pretty clearly upscaled (not super well, but it's certainly better than letting it scale all pixelated or blurry like they otherwise would). The game will at least run at higher resolutions than before, even if they haven't actually changed the content at all. It's nothing amazing, but it'll still be better looking than running the PSX version on a PS3.

Windows 95 days. It came out 1 day before Window 98 did and was no doubt ported with Windows 95 in mind.Jonci said:
It's pretty much unplayable on modern systems.
It's a re-release, why the fuck does everyone pretend that a re-release is the end of the world? In the last 2 days I have seen so many people asking this.tehweave said:
YES, it was released for Windows 9x 14 years ago. It is no longer being sold by Square so the only way to get it is to buy it from an eBay seller (or similar) for an outrageous price. It doesn't run well on modern systems and certainly isn't HD. I think the old one ran at 640x480 or at the most, 800x600. They won't release it in 2012 with only those resolutions.
If this gets labeled as an HD version, it will be a pretty epic disaster. You can't make an HD version of a game with blurry static backgrounds and character models that are made of approximately 5 triangles. If it doesn't, then, well, doesn't this already exist? Not sure what their plan is. As for the game itself, way way waaaaaaaay overrated. Square could never write a single line of dialogue that doesn't make you want to shoot yourself in the face to save their lives, its story is really mediocre compared to many other games of its genre and time period (like Grandia 2), and its world is about 1/100 as immersive as games like Skies of Arcadia or pretty much any Dragon Quest. Shrug and pass.
