Castlevania=apples

FF7=oranges

both games, and since mm did say FF7 is "the greatest GAME ever" he\'s entitled to his opinion.

No LIC is not entitled to his opinion here! He is wrong! :evil:


And it\'s not linear because there are many side quests/characters which you can do at any point in the game.

Right - because side quests makes it not linear.
Gotcha.

Thanks for clearing that one up.

It was a linear RPG, for God\'s sake.

lol, did you even play it

Blu-Ray = stupid. Just like UMD.

you can\'t possibly be this ignorant

I don\'t think buying remake is sad as long as there are graphical update and with better sound quality too.  Look at movies we watched.  although i am no star wars fan, I like to bring out this, Star Wars were transferred to VHS, then to Laserdisc, and now on DVD.  There are some changes in those transfer, alongside with picture quality improvement and surround sound.  And people still buy them over again.

I believe these people wouldn\'t mind buying it again in next generation format in High Def.

There are many new movies release on DVD, and some are remake such as Terminator 2.  I remember there were two version of terminator 2.

But a videogame remake like FFVII, I think its going to be a big update.  Things that couldn\'t or weren\'t done on PSOne, now maybe be done on PS3.  Beside seeing the game in high def, there will be more polygon counts per character, much improve physics, CG quality textures, and added the voice acting too.  And possibly, the field area now will be all in 3-D.  That, in my opinion is a big update there if they plan to do that.

Film, on the other hand, is limited somewhat.  They can remake it on later and newer format, but the biggest change are the pixel details.  The framerate don\'t change.  Movies run at 24fps, even if its in high def, the framerate still remain at 24fps...

I know comparing movies to video games are like comparing apples to oranges...
but if people are willing to buy a remake in movies.  I don\'t see what\'s wrong with buying a remake on videogames?

I never got into Final Fantasy so I might pick it up to play it for the first time. I might rather play FF3 on Revolution\'s emulator. Or Chrono Trigger. Two games I would have liked to have played.

FF7 had a lot of hype, though, and you guys seem to be enjoying it all over again from Main.

But $400 is still a waste. And I don\'t care about the fancy discs.

I\'d rather it play normal DVDs and when you opened the disc slot, a hundred dollar bill came out.

100$ that much?

few hours of overtime for me

/shrug

$399 (console) + $50 (game) + $20-30 (memory card) = too expensive for me.

Blu-Ray is nothing as of the moment, and seeing as how I don\'t have the means to buy an HD TV to take advantage of said technology then there\'s no reason for me to invest in it.  I suspect that the majority of us are in the same situation.

Also, there will be a format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray so I\'ll be sticking with DVD until there is a clear cut winner between the two.  

I don\'t give a flip that it has cell technology in it.  Don\'t use it as an excuse for a higher price tag.  

I have no idea what I would do with seven usb ports so don\'t expect me to pay for them.

Oh, and can someone please point me to the link that says Square is remaking Final Fantasy VII?  Last I read they commented that they have no plans to remake it.  Oh, and I agree with Lickster that it\'s just another Final Fantasy game.  Not a bad game by any means, but not the greatest RPG I\'ve played.

I won\'t get a ps3 untill atleast 1 year has passed, so they iron out any bugs first.

Blu-Ray , why bother when the media standard is not set yet? It\'s just another Sony format ala Mini Disc / UMD. Don\'t get me started on UMD, it only increases my hatred for Sony. Start a new format just for the PSP can play movie\'s. Give me a f**kin\' break.

Yes, I played FF7 and no I was not impressed in the slightest.

And I could afford a PS3, but I won\'t pay $400 for a console when it doesn\'t include a friggin\' pack in game. Another thing that amazes me people are saying "that\'s cheap for a Blu-Ray player", yeah, you sound like the Japanese when they bought the PS2 just because of a stupid DVD player.
