Gamespot is biased they've shown the 360 versions all by default in every single comparison. The differences are at best laughable. You're also comparing games that most likely were originally designed specifically for windows/360. Take the orange box for example it already runs like crap on most NVidia cards because it was designed for ATI. Comparing games like MGS4 vs GoW2 or something would be a better idea. Any of the game developers like Rockstar, Obisoft, etc. that aren't freaking lazy illustrate they get the games to look as good on either system. 90% of this boils down to opinion because I doubt the majority of people actually really tell the difference. You think you can tell the difference between 50 fps and 60 fps I'd have to call BS.

It's kinda funny back when I saw the Tech Demo for FFVII I e-mailed SE through their customer contact and suggestions or whatever it was. The response I got way back then was basically (paraphrased I don't have the original e-mail any more.) "We appreciate your interest in the Final Fantasy VII remake but as it stands now development is working on other projects. At this time we will not be working a remake of Final Fantasy VII but depending on the popularity of that concept we may be able to consider it." They worded it a bit more vaguely then that but the key thing is they said depending on fans they'd basically consider. The oddest part was usually 99% companies have automated responses. So I wonder if Square-Enix was getting inundated by FFVII remake requests.

@Treifla I think you have an awfully bleak look at a remake. Resident Evil for Gamecube was excellent, Metal Gear Solid for Gamecube was great the problem is they didn't sell well because the Gamecube didn't have a big enough base and they were only separated by one generation of consoles. FFVII has a whole new generation to market towards. Crystal Tools is going to be working on all 3 consoles soon. It's unlikely that we'd see FFVII on Wii imo but PS3 & 360 that's already a big console base. As for change extreme fanboys they will get over it or not buy it. Most likely anyone who'll think the changes are bad will have bought it most likely because they're FFVII fanboys. Hell I'm a bit of one, Dirge got blasted review wise and tbh the game play was mediocre at best but to me it was worth it just to get the extra storylines and seeing stuff like the shinra mansion in better graphics. If you're a true fan of the series then you'll always have your precious copy of the original you can always load it up and feel the nostalgia of the original. Advent Children was great though so I don't see how there's so much doom gloom about a remake. Can anyone tell me why these comments constantly combine paragraphs? It's really pissing me off.

Man I hope they are still considering remaking FFVII for PS3 (hell even multiplatform.) I know there's a lot of people against it but it'd help bring a whole new generation to FF imo. If there's a game in Square-Enix that deserves a upgrade it's FFVII. New graphics, add a bit more interactivity and strategy in combat, flesh out a few more side quests for new materia, armor, and really tough fights, and possibly add another hidden character (doesn't even have to make sense think Final Fantasy Tactics.) Also wth they listed like 5 characters from FFVII explaining who people are like c'mon.

I'm debating picking up this game. As much as I liked the originals they were rentals. Undeniably they deserved the good ratings but unless you're into replaying games a lot they're like Heavenly Sword and Assassin's Creed leaving you salivating for more. Ultimately I think I should probably pick up Patapon(sp?) instead. FFVII coming out so soon so psyched for that. It's really neat too check out gamerankings.com recently hand held gaming is putting out some killer games.
