Also it's amazing how news of this spreads and the haters start popping up everywhere. I'm seeing "Oh now you can relive the shittiest game on PC too!" on a lot of videos and articles. It's expected, but still.

I never understood the hate FF7 got. While it's by no means the best game in the series (a spot reserved for IV and its masterful storytelling), it's certainly one of the better ones. But then, I suppose most of the haters are people who think 6 is the best game in the series, because they think Kefka is a brilliant villain because Square forgot to give him (or pretty much anyone in the game) a real motive.
 
ah, you don't understand how a hype rejection reaction works, do you covarr?
basically, it's a lot like specific movies or anime or books
it's very easy to get extremely fed up with something if hype connecting to it is constantly shoved in your face to the degree where it becomes impossible to ignore it completely. As this goes on, your indifference grows into dislike into hatred into loathing into anti-fanboy aka haters

count yourself lucky if you haven't experienced this.

Imagine being completely indifferent to something and then having that thing shoved in your faced until it literally comes out of your nose in a stream of liquified brain
this is how most haters for hyped stuff work
FF7 is a prime example because of the ludicrous hype and fanboyism around

Pretty much all the hate I see is always about how unquestionbly superb FF6's story is and how "masterfully" told it is.

I wonder if it will come to steam eventually. I mean, there are entries for it for steam, there has to be SOME reason they are there.

Same here. I see a tiny bit from the rest of the internet, but the vast majority of FF7 hate seems to come from people who idolize Kefka.

It could be that plans changed, or maybe they intend this to be a timed exclusive. The Steam registry entry hasn't been updated since December, so I'm gonna guess the former.
 
I will be sponsoring the whole "re_make" project including the qhimm personnel, when I win the lottery just to avoid pronouncing the word "re-release" (even mentally) until it's final release... And this time I'm serious...

Be kewl if they add some sort of new game+ or difficulty mod. It goes hand in hand with the achievements and character booster. It wouldn't really take much aether... sith did it all by himself. Heck there already going to have to fix all the stat bugs, why not go the little extra mile.

Sith did it... sort of. Young Cloud/Sephiroth take the slots in save data of Cait Sith and Vincent. They would need to add two more slots in order to compensate for the save damage.
 
most people i meet hate both ff7 and ff6 equally
it probably depends on how thick your nostalgia goggles are
you will find haters for anything if you go to thr right places
and personally, i think a few people here are pretty damn biased themselves, even without realizing it

How can someone hate ff7... There are so many right messages (ecological, friendship, love etc...) it's like hating a nice book because it doesn't have picture in it...

Hardcore mods are a lot more involving than you think.  I see a great shock for you when you find out the PC version is exactly the same as the usual one with very slight improvements which Aali has already far surpassed.  8-)  We will see, but I think people are asking a mighty mighty lot if they are expecting anything other than cash in.

If the rerelease doesn't offer more than what we already do here, I hope it doesn't spell bad news for us...

Considering the old PC version has some pretty serious problems on modern machines (and is getting tougher and tougher to find legally) it's hard to blame them. A cash in though it may be, this is still better than not re-releasing it.
 
I am blindly hoping that the code for the submarine minigame is restored to how it should be (even though I have made it work pretty good anyway) and that battles are 60fps etc..  and that FMV are 640*448 higher quality with better codec.

But what I expect is a less buggy windows 7 compatible PC version... with the same graphics and frame rates as the original PC.

If the trailer is anything to go by, the FMVs have definitely been replaced. They'd be downright stupid to still require TrueMotion in this day and age, and that's not an expensive or difficult thing to change.
 
Well as I say, the trailer proves nothing.  That might just be a trailer than you and I could make and not reflective of the game .  I agree they'd be stupid to keep the old codec and quality but whether they are using higher rendered fmv... I find doubtful.  Most likely going to be reencoded upscaled PSX ones...

Oh, rerendered? They probably don't have the original assets with which to do that. But re-encoded upscaled PSX is still an improvement on what the old PC version has, especially depending on how they upscale it. Since they have render farms and stuff, they could probably use a more advanced method that we simply do not have the resources for.
 
It will be interesting to see just what they have done, but if they leave the original FMV, I will have to literally piss my pants.
