@FF 7 Remake: What is this, the year of projects that were never going to happen?

Personally, I don't think they will add much of any retcons, video game remakes are usually just graphical updates. They very well might add an extra dungeon or something, but I don't think they'll touch the actual main story.

Maybe there'll even be an updated translation.

@Ram: It's not that there can't be overlap between mediums. There already is in the best video games.

But video games are games. One of their main things as a medium is their interactivity. You can do so much with this, and to essentially try to make a movie out of a video game is not a good way to go, any more than having a movie with a constant narrator like a book is.

And there are a depressing number of people in the video game industry who seem to think "cinematic" is the way to go.

@Mobile: This mental image amuses me.

Well of course people are going to botch it sometimes.

But I very much dislike the knee-jerk "no plot no cutscenes ew gross" response I see everywhere.

Okay never mind, that voice over.... eh. I'm not going to make any premature judgements, but it doesn't necessarily fill me with confidence.

@Ram: Please point to where anyone here said no plot or cutscenes whatsoever.

My views:

Cutscenes have their place, of course they do, but you have to use them well, and not just try to make a movie.

If you view plot and gameplay as separate then you should not make video games. That makes about as much sense as saying that cinematography has nothing to do with the story of movies, or that the drawing in comics is meaningless.

Oh no I'm not talking about here. I should have clarified.

It's that it reminds me of stuff like that, which rankles me.

@Ram: Hope you enjoy being on the wrong side of video game history nerd while I just sit here in the future with my countless writing accolades having written The Citizen Kane of Video Games that so many reviewers talk about.

@Jam: Yeah, as I said, the voice over doesn't inspire me with confidence if they do change anything.

The actual dialogue from the game is way better, and that's with the shoddy translation.
