Many of the fans bitched and moaned that Ep.
Chrono trigger remake trash series#
Sorry to burst the bubble but I seriously doubt YK will get involved in games again some of you will know that she was hired to Xenosaga Ep 2 specifically to 'anime-ify' the series after sales of the 1st game did not meet expectations (despite being over 600K), and director Takahashi was distanced from the project due to his Kojima-like lack of focus in directing and budgetary management. I'll be glad to see the CC remaster but I expect it will underperform well-tailored emulation options as proved to be the case with FF VIII remaster. So I'm doubtful of Square's interest in anything other than cheap upscale/upgrades of semi-3D games of the PSX era. Some here will know that Xenogears was the first Square game to feature a vocal theme song followed by FF VIII. That could apply to either Gears or Cross. I wonder what they plan do with a new vocalist though. Also keep in mind its a 2D game, so the resourced to do a remake are way higher than a simple remaster - and 'HD' CT re-releases have already been done to death.Ī remaster of Xenogears would be awesome but just seems less likely due to the leak. Trigger, Shinji Hashimoto chided the fans clamoring for a sequel by saying 'that's not what the sales tell me, buy more copies for DS!' more or less. Square had distanced itself from Xenogears since declining to fund the sequel in the first place despite the game crossing the million mark.Īdditionally, in case of C. Of course I could be wrong and its A Xenogears remaster, or some kind of remake of Chrono Trigger, but it seems unlikely to be a true remake of any of those games since that would require FF VII remake level budgeting. Chrono Cross crossed over a million sales worldwide and probably outsold Trigger - also keeping in mind the word 'Playstation' in the leak, its easy to predict. You may have reason to hate the one, but the sales say otherwise. Some people claiming that Chrono Trigger is more successful than Cross are liars and are bitter, like the people claiming Xenogears is more successful than Xenoblade. This was done with Final Fantasy VIII with some success. Its cheap and easy to do since they can redraw the CG backgrounds to be wider like they did with the Legend of Mana recently, and just render the existing 3D models in higher res with some detailing.

Sorry to burst your bubble.Ĭonsiderng the Nvidia leak, its basically confirmed that Chrono Cross will be remastered in some form. Harada claimed that he needed 'several tens of thousands of signatures' to convince his bosses. An HD remaster was rejected because not enough signatures from around the world could be garnered through Facebook. Namco is the rights holder of Xenosaga and therefore getting such an ambitious game funded would be nearly impossible, unlike with Square/Sony combo. Xenosaga will not be remade, but there had been rumors of an HD remaster being considered years ago by Tetsuhiro Harada of Tekken fame.
