New Final Fantasy VII Remake Image

Imagining this with a full orchestra and rock guitar. brb gonna splode.
Man, the way they're trying to make Midgar some shiny blue-ish cyberpunk makes me miss this part of Midgar that is just brown and in decay through all the rust and copper

The footage of Midgar seems like a very different take on the city. Seems like the color scheme that represents the city is very blue in FMV and realtime footage. Kinda like Blade Runner ?
What? We haven't even seen this section yet and this statement still isn't true, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

You mean the richer city parts above the plates? Those parts we never really saw in the original in daylight if I'm not mistaken.
The other sections we saw from the remake don't look blue-ish to me:
Beat me to it. Can't outdraw Koozek.You mean the city parts above the plates? Those parts we never really saw in the original in daylight if I'm not mistaken.
The slum parts beneath the plates don't look blue-ish to me:

Just to make sure people don't end up disappointed.
Don't expect a FF7:Re trailer at E3.
Square will focus on KH3 and their new Avengers game this year.

No offense to you at all, but none of that looks cyberpunk and if you're taking issue with neon signs you probably aren't remembering the original clearly. Wall Market is covered with them.They seem that way to me and it's still below the plate
It was never said to be "x" number of parts iirc. I guess people are just wondering/comparing these games to the XIII trilogy (as the XIII games were used as a template for what we should expect; Kitase likened both, I think).
I think it'll be 3 or 4, but I'm not too sure. It all boils down to how much they expand on Midgar and also some parts of the original that were quite fast and empty in comparison.
I'd be willing to wait 5+ years, yes.
And that's BS. The open world games of today prove that you can have massive games on one installment. That 3 part thing because FF7 is so big is BS.
I love the original game, and while the world is big it's no where near the size of most AAA open world games...let alone bigger than say Witcher 3.
All Squeenix is trying to do is milk the franchise as much as they can. Which they really don't need to do..a good game sells itself.
Edit: my mistake

That's some high ass image quality. The first few hours of this game are looking good. Still on track for 2020.
They modernized the look of the upper city. In FFVII (even in some of the FFVII Compilation, save AC), it had an older look to it.You mean the richer city parts above the plates? Those parts we never really saw in the original in daylight if I'm not mistaken.

The earlier CG shot of the remake got that look across too:
I was always under the impression that the Shinra HQ was supposed to be the most "modern" and sleek building in ALL of Midgar. I just saw Shinra, being as power hungry as they were, would never allow any other part of the city to out-class their own HQ.

For what it's worth, my interpretation is that these blue-hued shots are set post-FFVII, mostly because of all the construction equipment (suggesting rebuilding) and the subway listing Edge (the town built outside Midgar's ruins in Advent Children), but there's also the way the narration flows. That's just a theory of mine, but I can't see them letting the in-game Midgar upper plate look this sleek and modern, unless they really want to drive home the class metaphor.
I also figure the first trailer was almost entirely pre-rendered (except maybe the final Slums shot) so who knows.
I fear for your health if they'll show a new trailer at E3 :P
If they'll show Tifa in the next trailer I may go balistic :P

The in-game ones don't look blue-ish to me at all? oO And most of the E3 trailer's CGI shots had very brown- and green-ish look, just like the original Midgar.They seem that way to me and it's still below the plate
Wat. This boss is like 1-2 hours in the game. And it's not Telltale-style episodes, lol. It's full-scale games a la the FFXIII trilogy (or Mass Effect).
Maybe they modernized just parts of the upper city or added a new layer to make the wealth-gap even clearer (or we never saw those more modern parts with skyscrapers in the original).They modernized the look of the upper city.

It's already been 3 years since the reveal and it's been in development even longer since around 2014 or so, so another 5+ years would put it at ~9 years in 2024. Ain't nobody want that again after Versus. (Only other comparable game when it releases will be Cyberpunk 2077 which was announced in 2012 and we still haven't seen any gameplay of - but people have more goodwill and trust towards CDPR than SE, I guess.)
And map size doesn't equal asset volume. Name me an open-world game with a similar number of unique locations, cities, towns, dungeons, enemies and bosses, huge summons, main and side characters, quite a bit of setpieces etc. Not even TW3 is comparable, I'd say.
Just as a reminder and these aren't even all locations (haven't included all dungeons and sub-areas):
All those are wildy different with barely any reusable assets - unlike TW3 that could copy-past some of its settlements/towns - and they have to be fully redesigned and increased in detail and size to realistic scale. You expect all that in AAA quality in one release in the usual dev time (~5 years nowadays)? SE isn't Ubisoft or Rockstar with dozens of studios all around the world and over a thousand (!) people collaborating on one game.
And these are just the locations - now imagine how much dialog and cutscenes and all must be well-directed and fully-voiced.
Can we ban ALL news on this game. I'm trying to put it to the back of my mind as I know it won't be out for ages. I see some news then I go all giddy then realise again how long we have to wait :(
For the bottom two, I have a feeling the will be scrapped. They look too crazy with the new art style. Bet on it!Can't wait
It's been almost 3 years since we last saw something in motion, they shoul reveal new gameplay imo.
It's obvious FF7 has a much more beefy and expansive world than The Witcher 3. That it is somehow up for debate often in this forum is frankly weird
Better in dragon quest 11....kh3 will sell a lot no matter what but dq11 will 90%bombs hard
