It really depends on how they remake it. It could be great or awful, honestly.

Terry_B347d ago

,,their remakes are not remakes but more or less new games. So yeah...no thank you..better don't remake it.

Kados346d ago

The upcoming DQIII remake is being done right. They just seem to insist on butchering FF.

Terry_B346d ago

Exactly..and since we talk about a FF Remake..I bet they would totally butch it.

shinoff2183345d ago

I'm down for the hd2d remakes and stuff but I'd much prefer something a little more 3d. I'll take whatever though.

-Foxtrot347d ago

No no…just continue to milk VII, that’s clearly what every single FF wants /s

Any money when they finish VII they’ll start on something else VII related

We want VI, VIII and IX remakes

I_am_Batman346d ago

I want VIII remake more than anything else, but the last thing I want is for them to rush VII just to get to the next one. They're clearly on the right track with VII, which is amazing to me considering there were a lot of ways to screw this up and very few to do it right.

VI could certainly be done on a smaller scale, but now that I've seen what they are doing with VII, I'd want VIII and IX to at least come close to this scale of a project and it's clearly not feasible to do them all at the same time.

-Foxtrot346d ago

My point is once they finish VII they’ll start more VII projects rather than giving us the other remakes

It’s not about wanting them to rush

shinoff2183345d ago (Edited 345d ago )

I'd like to see ff8 to but you definitely hear more for some of the others.

Also it's been leaked a few times that ff9 remake is definitely coming. Still rumor but can't post on here the rumors.

Snookies12347d ago (Edited 347d ago )

There's no way they could feasibly do it on the scale of FF VII Remake. Too many characters they'd have to integrate into the story. Too many crazy locations and the scale would be ridiculous. I'd really like to see something kind of like they did for FF IV on the DS. It was 3D, but on a much smaller scale. Maybe something like that, but a lot nicer looking. Still, I would love to see some of those FF VI moments with today's graphics. Like Ultima Weapon, the ghost train, the Warring Triad, the floating continent, Kefka's tower, the world of ruin, etc.

Furesis347d ago

The closest you'll get for that is in FF14 but yea it would be a huge undertaking. If they would just scale down the graphics it would be more feasible but square enix just has to have the best graphics no matter what. I would even take FF13 style graphics or 10 like fuck it. I just want a more modern version of all of it.

MrNinosan346d ago

You do know that FFXIII still today look better than most games.
A FFVII Remake scaled remake of FFVI won't ever happen, and we just got the remaster, once again.

shinoff2183345d ago

I'm Homer Simpson drooling right now snookies12

LG_Fox_Brazil346d ago

I still think it's the best Final Fantasy to date, I have a genuine love for FFIV, but VI is still a masterpiece without rivals to me in the JRPG department

shinoff2183345d ago

LG

I don't agree but I don't hate your opinion. Alot of the old school ff were fking fantastic

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff21831d 2h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan11h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin9h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_8h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan5h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21833h ago(Edited 3h ago)

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink17h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21833h ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla11h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl52310h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin9h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-648h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga6h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

excaliburps12h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla11h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek5h ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21833h ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing6911h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip8h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
