Squenix: No Plans to Release FFVII Remake for Other Platforms
- Thread starter Jawbreaker
- Start date
There's the clarification after the mistake by Xbox Germany yesterday.
unless if they meant playstation as a platform? and that there are plans for the next generation of playstation but not for other platforms.
Sure, but there's a notable difference in meaning between "We have nothing to announce" and "We have no plans"
In this context, I would absolutely have expected them to use the former phrasing.
It's never been officially confirmed, and probably won't be until whatever contractual period is not letting them talk about "plans" , then the day after that, it'll be revealed and dated.

There is absolutely no way Square Enix is going to go through all the expense and hassle of recreating one of their most famous games of all time and restrict the amount of money they will get by keeping it exclusive. Not to mention all the "play it first" wording. So i guess whatever truck full of money Sony threw at SE for this includes this nonsense about having to lie about other formats. Which is just so tedious... we're not fucking stupid.
Its the same difference to be honest.
They dont want people to think or expect the game on other systems.
Play it first on PS4, second on PS5.
I expect it to remain exclusive to PS4 on this generation of consoles forever, but launch on all next-gen systems at some point, including Scarlett, PS5, and Switch 2.
They don't need it forever. Just for a few years. A remastered complete edition will surely release for PC and Switch 2.
Yes I know. I'm just baffled that S-E are using the "no plans" line when everyone can see through it.
They should just stick to "launching first on Playstation".
Seems like they are trying to go the Crash route. It's too late to do that after it was revealed as a timed exclusive though. On the other hand Microsoft did turn Titanfall 1 into a permanent console exclusive so it can happen. I don't think that is case here. I would not be shocked by a PC only port though.
But they already did say that. That's why this is so suspect.
the PS5 already supports backwards compatibillity, so it will be playable on that system either way.
It doesn't even have to be Remastered. Just release each title as one bundle in The Lifestream Collection
Eh, it'll happen sooner or later. We've known this since the start.
I question how "accidental" that tweet on MS' part was though.

Square's flirting with Xbox annoys the shit out of me. Either publish all of your games on the platform, or don't.
Will sleep easy with the E3 of dreams to get me through the night.
Huge bag of money, it was annouance in 2015, problably started the developed in 2014 and releases in 2020. 6 years for a "remake" and for a 1 episode is to long.
Some peopel are saying that the exclusive deal maybe had fall off, but aparently it still stands.
I believe it will be like 6 to 12 months deal.
I have to admit that the PlayStation temporary exclusivity makes this game my most anticipated ps game
Eh...no one really cares, the majority of people interested in this game own a PS4 and know that its gonna be an exclusive for a while. They delivered way too much during e3 for such small mistake to affect the public perception of the project.
5-6 years is around the standard dev time for an AAA game of that scale though.
