In my opinion, they MUST be doing something more than Just Cloud Saves, Char. Booster, and Achievements .

Why would they announce this, and generate all this hype, for basically a direct re-release of a 15 year old game.
There must be something more to it than that, I just dont see them employing a strategy like this to generate sales.

If all they wanted to do is a re-release, I think they would have just finished it and released it, and we may have heard about it a week before release or so.

I dont know though, these are just my thoughts on the subject.
 
Keep in mind, this isn't Valve or ID or anything like that. This is Square-Enix we're talking about here.

It's funny thinking about it, a company like Bethesda takes their classic games on their 10th and 15th anniversary with much more content and gameplay then most games in existence and releases them for free, and square seems perfectly content with charging us for games most of us have already had at some point or another, and the actual improvements, if any will probably be minimal at best.

If they go as far as to redo the backgrounds I would literally shit my pants, and maybe even have some renewed faith in squeenix.

Because they can make loads of money out of it.  Rerelease or not.  They are releasing it again only because of Windows 7 and compatibility issues and to make money.  Simple.

Keep in mind FFVII Re-Release has been announced at Gammescom 2012 as a major showing. Everything a company does is for profit, but to show the game at a main even like this means they are putting some effort into it.


It would also help the people of Qhimm if you cited where you are getting these 'facts' from. I mean... they must be facts, after all you have replied negatively just in this thread alone 34 times... You must have a pretty solid source to come up with that summarization after just one video.
 
Because that's what they're most likely doing, tarting up the original version with some cheevos, modern OS/hardware support and a dumb EZ mode button.

It's similar to what every other company making an HD version of a game is basically doing, making it run at 720 or 1080, maybe update the GUI(MGS:HD did this) and slap achievements on it, quick fix for a quick buck.


If what they show at Gamescom says otherwise then I'll eat my virtual hat.
 
When you consider that the vast majority of the fanbase has only played the PlayStation version, is unaware of the modding community for the PC version, and may not even know the PC version exists... higher res and achievements are actually kinda significant to people. Remember, what's unimpressive to us isn't necessarily unimpressive to someone who's never seen the game run at more than 240p.

That being said, I am a bit disappointed, because this means it won't possibly be released before Gamescom. That's at least two more weeks.

People keep asking the same question, they get the same answer.  Also, congrats, you just got put on ignore.  Have a nice day  ;D  Common sense and overwhelming logic are pretty good reasons for believing this is exactly what I have said it is, and as you can see, there are a few people here (majority) who agree.  I guess they need to cite facts too, for what is blatantly obvious to those with an ounce of sense.  8)  You don't have any "facts" that it is anything else, yet you choose to attack those who don't agree with your deluded opinion that Enix suddenly want to care about fanbase (given they have laughed at them for the best part of a decade).  Or, more likely, you are just trolling.  Or both. 

I don't care, since I won't be reading any more of your posts.  If you are having trouble accepting my opinions, I suggest you add me to ignore.  Harmony all round.  Anyway, why do you care?  You are continually slagging off PC version and the mods.

Only you could say completely different statements in a single post. =/

I have re-read all posts in this thread, there was no question posted that warrants now 36  posts saying the same message. I asked for you to show my facts, you have none. In other forums this would be considered spam. Actually it would have been considered spam 30 posts ago. I don't even know what this is...


I do not appreciate being called a senseless troll because I ask you where are you getting this from. Anybody that can summarize a whole game based on a teaser trailer is the opposite of fact.
 
Having an opinion that differs from yours isn't trolling. Get over yourself.

I had a feeling you'd come in protecting her, but I think it is quite obvious what she (if she is a she, which I seriously doubt) is up to, given the way she presents her arguments, aiming them at me (continually), as well as pestering me in IRC like a complete idiot.  As I said, it will be falling on deaf ears in future (as she is on ignore), like asking you to do something about trolling falls on deaf ears.

Yet another insult... by my count that 2. Yes I'm keeping track. I don't know how someone can get away with so much yet point the finger. I have never insulted you, guess that makes me the bigger person.
 
Imagine some of the stuff they show off at gamescom as new turned out to be mods from here :P

Seriously though, if they show off any visual improvements besides a choice of resolution, I would actually be impressed. Hell even if they just did an HD UI, still shows hope for them as a company.
 
Re-Releasing games? Check.
Serious effort put into it to justify the additional monetary gain? Check.
One thing cannot happen with another? Double Check.

If his assumptions and fact treating that there will be nothing of value in the re-release are in need of proof, SO ARE YOURS Mako.
In favor of his argument speak past events and direction of the company.
In favor of yours? That it happens to be shown at a convention that's not exactly a mass media promotion like E3
And no, you'd be the bigger person if you would stop arguing with him like a little kid. Ignore him, as he did you. Right now you're just embarassing yourself.

I make no claim to anything besides I need more info then a teaser video. I have no argument to present. I stated what I would like. So pretty much 2/3rds of you Me vs Him is null.

Arguing and asking for facts is two separate yet completely different things.  Mako's Fun Fact: Did you know DLPB has put me on ignore six times in the past. Only risk of embarrassing myself would happen if I reduced myself to name calling to prove my point. (if I had one) That or jump in a thread and claim I have a side and tell another what 'side' they are on without reading or understanding the posts.

So you're accusing me of not reading posts / understanding them?
I love people like you, trying to pass themselves off as better and more mature than they actually are. All they really do is cleverly mask their instigation with neutral looking words.
You do know you're instigating arguments here, yes?

Also, you automatically make an opposite claim if you go about questioning his. So 2/3 of your post is null.
Welcome to arguments.

No, standing against someone does not mean I 'pick' and side. I would just like to hear more before I jump to any conclusions. This is a neutral stance on the issue.

Never said any of that. I just said I don't have a stance and I wish Dan would stop the name calling. I wish you would to, it's beneath you.

There is no such thing as neutral looking words. They are ether neutral or not.  If a word looks neutral that's cause it is. Funny thing about words is they made up entirely of visual characters. Meaning how you interpret those visual characters is how you yourself were taught to interpret them. I suggest you re-interpret what I'm saying, without the name calling.


I cannot commit instigation if the person in question is not see able to see my posts.


I guess the positive out of all of this is "you love people like me" I'll take it where I can get it. =/ even if you are being un-kind.
 
Enough of this. Mako, DLPB i suggest you both put each other on ignore as it is evident that you two will never get along. If I notice either one of you replying to the other person you are both going to get muted. All moderators are instructed to do the same. I dont have time to deal with this crap. Final warning.

Ah man :/ anyways i suggest other people aswell such as Kuugenthefox to stop attacking her she is doing nothing wrong except giving out opinions which i find interesting and agree with majority of the times as she always gives out really good points after all this is in the General Discussion section where you discuss.., this is a forum this stuff happens and is what makes it interesting :)
 
I'm gonna go ahead and add onto what sl1982 has said. This thread has gone off-topic enough, and this argument needs to end. I'm going to request that nobody continue it here, DLPB, Mako, or anyone else, in any form at all. That means no third parties taking sides, no flaming either direct or indirect, no "explaining" why you were right and the other person was wrong... If you have an issue with the way staff has handled this, take it up with us PRIVATELY. But there will be no more cluttering up this thread with arguing, no more flaming.

As for the original issue of how much the game was upgraded?, if any? I don't want to see any more speculation about this. We will hopefully learn more at Gamescom, but until then let's not claim to know one way or the other unless we can provide DIRECT proof (screenshots or video). eg we can safely assume the game will run at a higher resolution and have upscaled FMVs based on the trailer shown. We don't know if they've touched the framerate, the backgrounds, the models, or anything else. Guessing won't change that. Speculation will lead to arguments, and probably warnings, so don't do it.

edit: To clarify, it's fine to discuss what we've seen, and what we HOPE to see. My issue here is with speaking with unfounded certainty. "I hope it has X feature" is fine, "I know for a fact it will/won't because intuition" is not.
