Which remake are you more excited for?

FF7, because I like the original game more of the two in question, I like Final Fantasy more, and I like RPGs more.

But I don't think FF7 is anything close to being 'The Empire Strikes Back,' that's FF6.

@charizard1605: I actually also definitively prefer VI to VII. Hell, I'll put FFIV over VII too. Just going with the general census here.

Neither because they're both bad games

I don't like the Final Fantasy series, so this is an easy vote for Resident Evil 2.

@mems_1224: These are retro games. It's not really for the new generation (a.k.a dudebros).

FF7.

I never liked the RE games.

The controls drove me crazy.

@Legend002: not sure what them being old games has to do anything. FF7 has always been bad. Resident Evil 2 was at least enjoyable at the time but I could not care less about the remake or that series in general

FFVII. That was one of the games that really got me into gaming back in the day.

@mems_1224: Age certainly important. It's like being born in the 2000's and watching black and white television. You just can't do it. The outdated visual, audio and gameplay is a turn off.

@Legend002: you don't even know how old I am.

@mems_1224: Most Xbox fans are around 10-14 so that's a good guess. This is according to a census Gamespot themselves did during E3.

@Legend002: and that has nothing to do with anything

@mems_1224: Of course it does. Kids today can't appreciate classics like FFVII and RE2 but that's totally understandable.

Im excited for Resident Evil 2, we get to play as two characters with a fresh take. I love survival horror games and im hoping it comes to Nintendo.

There are still gems from yesteryear.

Like with the black and white TV analogy....I could watch the Twilight Zones series all day.

Product just has to be good. And any generation will enjoy it.

@Legend002: cool? Not sure what that has to do with me.

@mr_huggles_dog: It's a fact that some gems age better than others. I don't think FFVII or RE2 qualify as one of those however.

My vote would be for Final Fantasy VII! Very much looking forward to it.

@mems_1224: you so edgy m8

on topic hnnng cant decide probably resident evil 2, fcking loved REmake

I haven't played either which is why im highly excited for FF7 remake since its a game i never got to play, couldnt care less about RE

Have to say FF7. Now if it was a remake of RE3 then I would pick that.

RE of course.

>Legend calling people kids when he's still a teenager

Both of those remakes are going to be shit tbh fam.

@skelly34: is he really still a teenager? If so, lol

He acts like one so it wouldn't shock me

Resident Evil 2 by far, the hipster hype train that is Final Fantasy 7 is going to win the vote though.

So Mems was between the age of -1 and 3 when he signed up for Gamespot, confirmed.

False broseph. One of my kid sisters prefers playing classic games, and her favorite game is FFVI which she played 4 years ago when she was 7 years old.

Also her favorite movie is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Kids can definitely have good taste and appreciate classics. It just takes someone showing them that that stuff exists.

Both equally.

Liking FFVII is anything but hipster man, it's one of the biggest names in gaming lol. FFVII is about as anti hipster as you get regarding classic games.

Sorry, I'm using it as a pejorative.

@finalstar2007: How old are you?

@ConanTheStoner: I need to find and give ff6 a chance. From everything I hear, that's the one.

You should make a thread asking this, I'm actually curious how old some of these people are.

@mems_1224:

Yeah, I'd say it's the series tops. No bloat, no padding, good fast pace, good music, characters that you'll actually like (yes really, a FF without shit characters), cool and meaningful side content, and a pretty decent story for a jrpg.

Without getting too spoilerish, the antagonist actually sees some measure of success and the game completely breaks off into non-linear progression for the 2nd half. It's definitely different.

That said, a lot of us have a raging nostalgia boner for the game, so don't let the hype ruin it.

I know they're releasing it on Steam here soon, but I'd say **** that and just play the original. I know ZSNES emulates it perfectly.

FFVII

I did enjoy the first 2 resident evils and I though those were the best games in the series to me. One of the only games to actually make me jump when the dog jumps through the window.

Having said that I think FFVII would give more gameplay and hopefully they can do the remake justice. The episodic content doesn't bother me,

"We’ve seen everyone’s comments and reactions to the news that FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be a multi-part series and many have speculated correctly as to the reason why we have made this decision. If we were to try to fit everything from the original into one remake installment, we would have to cut various parts and create a condensed version of FINAL FANTASY VII. We knew none of you would have wanted that."

I'll wait to purchase entire game as one. I feel there is potential to get over a hundred hours of gaming as the median for the original was 85 hours, compared to a single run through of RE2.

The results are usually depressing man, most of these dudes are way too old to being saying some of the shit they say.

I just like to imagine that I'm arguing with a bunch of teenagers, that way it all makes sense. When you realize that you're arguing with a corporate slave in his 40's, it's kind of a downer.

JRPGs are not real RPGs.

@ConanTheStoner: yea, the sprites for the steam version look like garbage. I wonder if Sony has a version I can get on my vita

@mems_1224:

Mmm, maybe? But if it's a port from their anthologies collection, then you'll have to deal with load times on every random battle. It's not terrible, but it sucks compared to the brisk pace of the original.

Be a dirty pirate mems, it's the only way.

Option 3: None

I would have said FF7 but Square has turned that to shit with it's episodic BS.

RE2 for me

If he has a GBA they did port FFVI to that and there were even a couple bonus dungeons added.

Resident Evil 2

Yeah, GBA is a good choice. SNES, GBA, or Wii, I think those are the only legit options for playing the original without load times.

I'm going the neither route on this one, so far I think they're going to ruin the combat in FF7, and I found RE2 to be one of the weakest games in the series, but if I had to pick one or the other I'd say RE2 since it doesn't look like they're going to ruin it like FF7

@ConanTheStoner: I might just get the ps1 version on vita so I can play at work. How bad are the load times?

1. Not in the realm of impossible.

2. They "could" just like Xbox fanboys "could" be non-FPS addicts but it is far in between. 1:1000
