“Never have I heard of a remake of a game that’s almost 20+ years old being sold at a total cost EXPONENTIALLY exceeding any top of the line new release.”

By separate sources I meant in the context of full game discs like the ones you proposed. They are different as far as the device is concerned. Obviously.

Arkham city? Were talking about entirely different data structures and scale of data there. Not applicable

on disc dlc is much the same as normal 1 disc installation which serves to support my point not yours. it’s not really DLC, they just call it that.

1. I didn’t call YOU a moron. I said the people at SE would be morons to do it otherwise. READ PLEASE

Firstly I did not insult you, i said you did not know what you were talking about. That is a statement of fact. Not an aspersion to your character. I have repeatedly explained, and you have ignored me, that a multi disc single installation IS DIFFERENT then a number of separate yet interlocked installations. IE a…

this is going to cost them SEVERAL normal games worth of funds to produce. If you spend several times the money and do several times the work, you had better damn well get several times the revenue OR you go broke. That is not being cheap, thats being pragmatic and NOT A MORON. the thing WON’T TURN A PROFIT IF THEY…

I never said they were not a thing, you havn’t listened to a word I said. The ps1 is not the ps4. You have never seen a multi disc final fantasy game since at least ps2, probably ps1. They dont work the same and as time went it became more and more cumbersome and less and less effective, requiring proportionally more…

As a programmer and designer I can tell you that most people SERIOUSLY underestimate the scale of the project at hand. Given the size of the project I honestly would be surprised if it does end up that way. I plan on waiting for it all to be released and ported to steam before buying.

It makes perfect sense given the shear scale of what an ff7 remake would entail.

Its not feasible because you fail to realize how MASSIVE an undertaking this is. before this was announced, I thought an FF7 remake was impossible because of how tremendous an undertaking it would be. after it was announced I thought “this HAS to be episodic, when will they announce it”?, and lo and behold I was…

You are not even comparing apples and oranges there, you are comparing watermelons and bananas. They are connected only by the fact that they are both Fruit/Games

No, there are significant differences between the episodic game format and single release multi disc games in terms of how the data is structured

My point is that selling the entire game on a single disc is impossible. And making a single game spread across multiple discs very very dificult. Making separate releases allows for segmentation

It’s not that simple, consoles have limited HD space so the game needs to run off the disc, this is a massive game with TONS of resources, meaning each disk needs a massive amojunt of recuring data to be present on each of them. there is a reason so few games nowadays use multi disc formats. As resources pools got…

Ps4 may not support that

Thats bullshit. As a programmer i can tell you that ff7 in hd would require an insane number of discs, many of the tricks they used to keep it down to 3 wouldn’t work as well here, and with the many gigs of hd resources that would need to be on every disc youd have very little space left on each disc for disc specific…

That depends on the teen, believe you me. For most that warning would not have sufficed.

What entitled tripe. if you are paying for their ivy league education, the least they can do is say hi now and then not complain when you call. The fact that this kid does all this despite having an extremely expensive opportunity (that many would kill for) presented to them on a silver platter, spells entitled…

this article makes no sense. When making a character, you do auditions and cast the best matching voice that comes to said audition. their other physical attributes shouldn’t even be factors in the decision making if they are not seen or heard. seeing as you A) cannot hear skin colour and B) their voice is the only…
