FF7R is a controversial decide for “good remake”. It utterly re-writes the continuity, creating primarily fanfiction from characters and places we’re aware of, and has a few of the worst voice appearing in latest reminiscence. We have been purported to get the FF7 remake through the PS3 period. Individuals nonetheless wished to play a flip primarily based JRPG then. It might have been a slam dunk too if not for the poor adoption charge of the PS3. Quick ahead 15 years later and it barely resembles FF7 in each gameplay and tone. It even felt like a step backward gameplay-wise from FFXV that got here out a number of years earlier than.
The Final of Us? Does that even depend as a remake? They’ve simply upscaled the textures and added in some new lighting/physics whereas the core sport has remained the identical since 2013.
One wonders, is it the truth that sport remakes are so good that explains why they carry out properly in gross sales? Or, think about that Capcom and Bethesda have bought you Resident Evil 4 and Skyrim a dozen instances with just about zero adjustments. It simply takes savvy advertising, coupled with blind nostalgia to promote a remake. If the sport is a ground-up remake, and it is good, that is only a bonus. Individuals would have lined as much as purchase the RE4 remake it doesn’t matter what.
