Final Fantasy VII PS4 Is The Ultimate Troll

During the PlayStation Experience keynote today, Square Enix came out to announce that Final Fantasy VII will be coming to PS4, and it feels like a bad joke.

nX3427d ago

Haha yeah, but at least we're getting something (and the rumors were true after all).

thorstein3427d ago

Kotaku...wow you guys are S T U P I D. They CLEARLY said that the graphics would be updated.

Wow. Just wow. Kotaku idiots have trouble with their hearing.

Snookies123427d ago

The updated graphics aren't really all that updated... It's just the PC version's port.

TheRedButterfly3427d ago

They said the graphics would be upSCALED - not upDATED. Big difference.

Godmars2903427d ago

"They said the graphics would be upSCALED - not upDATED. Big difference."

Really?

So years after the release of the 480p and 720p version, you're honestly saying that you're going to get in line for the 1080p version?

This when they're about to offer the game for rental not only on iOS, but at a price at what you could buy it for.

If anything I wouldn't be surprised that they had the nerve to charge more on the PS4 as PSN.

Kamikaze1353427d ago

Updated as in it will be displayed in 1080p. But on the PC, the textures aren't really updated, the models are the same, and the music files are MIDI...if they can at least give us higher quality PSX music files, I would be happy.

jujubee883427d ago

I'm marveling at why SE thought it would be good to tease it like that (or even reveal it on the floor at all).

Really, I feel like the looks of death from the live audience should have pierced that companies soul.

Killzoner993427d ago (Edited 3427d ago )

Well Kotaku will take any chance they can to troll Sony so this is not surprising in the least. It's pathetic really. Regardless Sony always comes out on top smelling like roses.

You mean something different from the PSN version?

FFS: they should either be offering it for free, or as part of PS+.

hay3427d ago

Hey! It's Square we're talking about! I bet a disc release is more probable than a freebie.

Kalebninja3427d ago

i almost threw a chair in excitement and then they showed the trailer :/

llxKonanxll3427d ago (Edited 3427d ago )

If Square made a re-make of FF7 exclusive to Ps4... the gaming world would collapse. To the same effect as the internet "breaking".

DragonKnight3427d ago

And not in the same way Kim Kardashian supposedly broke the internet.

RiseofScorpio3427d ago

Oh please the vastly superior Ocarina of Time has had its re-release and the internet didnt shake at all.

salazarnaruto523427d ago

Ocarina of Time isn't that good. FFVII is leagues better

Snookies123427d ago

A re-release with somewhat updated graphics on a handheld... That would have nothing on remaking one of the greatest RPG's of all time on today's hardware.

Magicite3427d ago

I said that long before PSX.

-Foxtrot3427d ago

Watch Square turn around and say something like

"Maybe if the sales are high for this game we'll look into a remake"

They say the same thing everytime to try and get people to buy their next FF product.

Benjammin253427d ago

It's a shame. If Square Enix announced a real Final Fantasy 7 remake exclusive to PS4, even the most hardcore Xbox and Nintendo fans would want one.

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?

ravens5215d 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.

MrNinosan15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

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

ravens5215d 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.

VIK212115d ago (Edited 15d 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

MrNinosan15d ago

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

ravens5214d ago

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

ravens5214d 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.

Barlos15d ago (Edited 15d 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.

Tapani15d ago

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

Rebel_Scum15d ago

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

I_am_Batman15d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim15d 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_Scum15d ago (Edited 15d 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.
