If I could get a game remade; it'd be Weaponlord. Probably the most metal, awesome beat-em-up that has ever been.

Dark_king4272d ago

Mine would be Xenogears would be a great game to be remade,could even fix the issue where they ran out of funds an let you play through the whole story on the second disc instead of just watch most of it.

I would not want FF7 battle system touched at all was perfect just as it was.Seeing Friday the 13th on someones remake list is a first the game was horrible but I could see it actually working now.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was perfect updating the graphics is all it needs I think it would lose some of what made it so nice in 3d.

Pozzle4272d ago (Edited 4272d ago )

If Square Enix change the battle system for a FFVII remake or HD-release, I'll be very mad. :(

NukaCola4272d ago

If FFVII is remade. I want no changes to the formula. Same camera fixed camera angles, same world, same battle systems and gameplay. Only differences is they can allow X as primary Execute as it's more custom for Westerners and of course redo all the cutscenes and fix up the animates, lighting effects, and flair. But I want to play the game I remembered. I just don't trust SE's judgement on gaming this gen and want them to stick with what worked at the highlight of their career.

holscher82824272d ago

So do you prefer the battle mode in FFVII over later Final Fantasy games? I like the way you can see enemies in 13 and the battle system.

Pozzle4272d ago

I liked FFVII's battle system for FFVII. If that was changed, then it wouldn't be FFVII anymore. There's no need to update it or make it more like later FF games. Let the new FF games be revolutionary and up-to-date. Let FFVII (and any potential remakes or HD versions) be nostalgic.

oNIXo4272d ago (Edited 4272d ago )

FF VII sucked ass, if they want to remake a FF remake VI. Let the disagrees commence.

Xperia_ion4272d ago

I'm going to throw this out there, agree or disagree........... Wild Arms

pandehz4272d ago (Edited 4272d ago )

I wish they remake FFVII and make it real time combat like Witcher 2 or something maybe not as far as DMC but that wouldnt be bad. Would finally get to play them like they are shown in the cutscenes and not like battle chess.

Dont care what old schoolers think but theres a reason its called old school.

holscher82824272d ago

I agree. I prefer real time battles. I thought more people would feel that way, but it sounds like they prefer the old way. Interesting.

Dark_king4272d ago

You guys know FF7 had that option right just turn wait off.

pandehz4271d ago

More ppl do feel that way look at any real time gameplay game sales vs semi-real time or dice roll gameplay.

I used to love dice roll style gameplay when it was a thing back then but today having tasted newer possibilities why go back.

Same way ppl already feel why QTE's and too much cinematic gameplay.

Ppl move on and games change.

I feel even Square Enix have thought about it.

Why redo a game the same way?

Wait a bit, wait for the audience a lil bit, wait for the industry a lil bit and when they are all ready they will reboot FFVII maybe in a whole new light if not then its best kept shelved for the moment.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5218d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5217d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5217d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5217d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani17d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum18d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman18d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim18d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
