"COVER IS SOME FINAL FANTASY GAME, FINAL FANTASY VII."

Elaborate on information revealed about these spinoffs. Also, if they did reveal anything about FFVIIr, which they said at the end of last EGM issue that they might get the dealio on.

Looks like Beatdown = Urban Reign

C'mon Final Fight, you gotta step up for the beat-em up fans. (albeit, Beatdown was pretty alright, not too shabby)

On PS2? Awwwww. I actually wanted to see what they could do on PS3, but oh well. God of War love is great. 2006 seems like a pretty short development cycle, though...hope quality doesn't suffer.

Better be for US launch only, if Japan launch in Fall then they better have simultaneously launch. If not, and US launch slips to 2007... Microsoft Xbox360 = game/set/match.

You better go and find whether there's any FFVIIr info or you're a dead forumer.

Not a good month I see. The GoW 2 rumour is interesting though, would have thought they would want to immediately start on Ps3 development.

Bah, GoW2 on PS2 seems dissapointing. Seems like the PS2 has already been pushed to the max already. Jaffe and crew needs to abandon the PS2 and go completely to the PS3.

Uh? If there is indeed a GOW2 for PS2 just move it to PS3 as a launch title, I know I'd buy it even so I think GOW2 is for PS3.

Please don't tell me you are basing a game purchase on an EGM review...That's a laugh and a half...

I don't think Jaffe's working on it (at least not as director). He's working on a PSP game with Incognito. The Animation Director of GoW is the Game Director on Sony Santa Monica's next game which I'm assuming is GoW2.

ok, here's one bit of FF7 PS3 demo, just cause i'm nice




Kitase: If the team decided to make (FFVII) for PS3 with that kind of quality (tech demo), it would take 5 years and a team of 300 people. Characters models would be incredibily detailed, where you can change equipment and clothes and have them carried onto battles, fields and cinema scenes.

Nomura: Kitase said if there's a remake, he would want me to do it. But I have too much shit to do and it would be difficult to squeeze the project in...maybe if the timing is just right...


Nomura: My team has already begun several next-gen projects for multiple consoles.

5 years? That would give a Matsuno production a run for it's money. :D

Makes sense that Kitase would get Nomura to do it, since Kitase is most likely starting pre-production on FFXIII. Several next gen projects? I guess a KH3 is a shoe-in... but else could Nomura be doing that would be MORE important than a FFVII remake? Perhaps Nomura will be helming a Parasite Eve 3 for next gen? *drool*

I guess that kills the hopes of a shock "FFVII REMAKE OFFICIAL!" announcement at TGS this year. :(

Holy shit, that's nuts. Jonnyram was right, then. Development costs would have to be 40 million or more for a project of that magnitude. Not only that, but does that bode well for other Square games of that quality? Certainly a different outlook then the "not even close to what we can achieve on PS3 given more time" comments.

Oh, Nomura with a comment like that is potentially huge. I really think that is a big news story in the making.

Kingdom Hearts III for multiple platforms? Seems so.

Thanks Wario.

Ah yes, I forgot about that. Thanks for the correction. Still, I hope Sony Santa Monica develops GoW2 for the PS3.

they don't need to make it was detailed as the Advent Children models, I'd be satisfied with the in game models looking as good as the RE 4 custcenes models

I'm sure the reason they are making God of War 2 on PS2 is that they can really benefit from the 3+ years and ass load of money put into GoW1.

With the engine and artstyle/story/gameplay system already created, what they create in God of War 2 will take a fraction of the time it took to create similar things in GoW1.

It's a smart business decesion, and from the beginning the producer kept saying their goal for God of War was to create a (and I quote) "a new exciting 'franchise."

Maybe they didn't even break even on GoW1, and GoW2 on PS2 is the actual money maker.
