Samus has a cameo in Super Mario RPG! >_> And did people forget that sprite Snake got less than 52% on Frog in 2004, resulting in this: 11. Solid Snake - 27.73% 12. Auron - 27.39% 13. Sora - 26.98% 14. Frog - 26.96% 15. Master Chief - 26.96% 16. Liquid Snake - 26.94% That looks legit to me, guys! Sprite Snake is definitely a good indicator of Solid's normal performance! |

This
match kinda bolsters my confidence in Bowser regardless of the
Pokelaunch. Not sure why, but it seems almost impossible to picture
Charizard matching this kind of win. He'll need some nice launch hype
and upset-craving, and even then, I think it'll be very close. On the
other hand, I can see Bowser running away with 55%+ right out the gate.

What
is up with Kirby getting periodic weird close vote percentages.
Sometimes it's Kirby getting a 30+ vote increase, and other times it's
Sonic getting 30+ vote decrease. It's weird as hell. I know random
variance and all that but blah. Oh well, I'd really be happy if Sonic could pull out 55% at this point. Hopefully. That said why bring up Ezio vs. Zelda? That whole argument rested on Ezio being an unknown, and Altair not tanking against Vivi. Neither thing happened and I conceded that I had no base for the upset after that. I knew Zack was going to lose as soon as it was a face pic round -- but Mega Man also impressed this year. Do I still have enough evidence to say that Mega Man > Sonic? No. But it's likely at this point. Sonic has definitely had the harder road to the Quarterfinals though. --- Curt Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know. |

I
think cross-dressing Cloud would be significantly weaker than normal
Cloud. Give Link only that CD-i picture he had in one of the pictures
against Luigi, though, and you might have something. Bowser/Charizard should be good. I think their performances last round were similarly impressive, but I also think that Pokemon do well in sprite rounds, and that Charizard will benefit from HG/SS tomorrow. --- 2010 Extrapolated Standings: Crono gets 46.85% on Sephiroth.

also never fails to boggle my mind as to why Squaresoft refuses to bank
in on it's most profitable game. Why wouldn't they make a direct FF7

where it's just bad business not to. --- Curt Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know. |

A
HD FFVII remake actually probably wouldn't be near as profitable as
people think. The game likely wouldn't even sell as well as mainline
Final Fantasy games nowadays, which is about half of what FFVII proper
did back on the PS1. --- study the past if you would define the future |

Square
has stated before that an FF7 remake probably wouldn't be profitable.
People would except them to remake all of FF7's ridiculous backgrounds
using 3-D high-def graphics, and that would be quite an undertaking. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |

CJaM613 | Posted 3/13/2010 2:37:15 PM | message detail |
I'm
not buying it. An FF7 remake, or direct sequel, would easily be the #1
selling PS3 game within its first year. I would bet anything on that. Dissidia 2 though pretty much has to be for PS3. And pretending like budgeting or the graphics being the issue behind it is ludicrous. The whole point in technological advancement is for this to be possible, and they are finding easier and easier ways to do it. There's no reason to believe that an FF7 remake with maybe some new cutscenes and side-quests wouldn't be profitable at all. --- Curt Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know. |

FF-level
graphics make up a huge portion of any game's budget. it's one of the
biggest problems with gaming today; HD graphics are extremely expensive
to make, but it's becoming the standard, putting a strain on developers. --- http://i46.tinypic.com/v4o0mx.jpg best sig bet EVER |
ZFS | Posted 3/13/2010 2:39:31 PM | message detail |
Well,
FFXIII shouldn't have honestly took as long as it did. Part of the
problem with FFXIII's development is that they were developing their
own engine for the game while the game itself was being developed. A
FFVII remake would still be an huge undertaking, both financially and
the manpower needed. Just not worth it, especially when they could make
a whole new game in that time and it would sell just as well, if not
more, for being a new game and not a remake. Now FFXIII-2, I'd expect
this to happen in the next couple of years. --- study the past if you would define the future |

Versus
XIII is an entirely different game set in a different world with
different characters. Not quite the same thing. When I say FFXIII-2, I
mean something like FFX-2 where they reuse a lot of the same assets and
whatnot; I think they've actually talked about doing this before, too. --- study the past if you would define the future |

CJaM613 | Posted 3/13/2010 2:50:20 PM | message detail |
I
think what would be a smarter business decision is to create a new
engine on the PS3 for a remake of FF7, with some add ons, like enough
content to satisfy old gamers (not that any new content would be needed
to make it a worldwide success) and then use that as the platform to
launch FF7-2 a year or so later. Undertaking both projects at the same
time would actually limit their costs because they could use most of
the content from the FF7 remake to lace FF7-2. It would be a great
idea. Peoples' interest would already be on FF7 from the remake,
introducing new gamers to it at the same time and then everyone would
be frothing at the mouth at the prospect of FF7-2. It would of course create the inevitable Cloud > everyone for the rest of time. --- Curt Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know. |

Except using the last 1v1 contest stats, Sonic should be over 60% on Kirby, and should have also broken 60% on Bacondorf. Which also negates the fact that Kirby has had two significantly popular releases since then, while Sonic has kept up his usual pace. StH4 is the only real release in the future that could cause some stir for him -- and the other episodes in the future could bring him up further. That said 4 ways were a joke and always have been. Most people thought going into this that Sonic would lose to Ganondorf, and if not Ganondorf, then Kirby. He has done nothing but impress this contest and people are still on his case. I personally had higher hopes for Sonic, but considering what was expected of him people should really be taking back what they said about him. Especially considering how some other characters have looked in this contest (Snake anyone). --- Curt Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair ya know. |

I
would think that -- even if FF7 itself is a monetary loss -- it would
also be a great chance for Square to regain many of its former fans and
a strong way to get its name in the spotlight again. There are more
aspects to business than money, though I understand when the bottom
line comes to money. What about this alternative though...what if they make a port for FF7 like CTDS with some extras and put it on the DS? Yeah yeah, "CTDS did nothing to help CT-characters here," but CT was SNES-based while FF7 was PS-based and FF7 is an infinitely bigger deal. This is assuming the DS could handle FF7, which I kinda doubt...but if it can't, how about the PSP if it could? Or the next generation of handheld-systems if neither of them could? Most of us want a proper beautiful FF7-remake and Square knows the fans are begging for it, but I don't think something like this would be widely swept under the rug like CTDS was either. --- Picking Auron > Squall was dumb, but not as dumb as thinking I could beat Leonhart!

It's
because Sonic didn't have any near elites in his division. I mean come

I
took Sonic because I knew Ganondorf was going to be sprite round and
Kirby's 2008 win was a fluke. I wasn't too worried about Sonic overall.
This will only be the second time I've ever correctly predicted anything Sonic the Hedgehog has done in a contest though! The other time was 2006. --- Squall Leonhart is the worst Final Fantasy character ever created. |
