from what i saw, that final fantasy 7 re-release looks quite crap, only thing updated about graphics is resolution.
might be worthwhile if you dl some graphics mods. [note: i am not graphics whore, but seeing a game from 1997 released on steam with absolutely no graphical upgrade besides higher resolution and some pixel cleaning for 11 euros seems like cash milking to me]
still waiting for x, and x-2 to be released on pc...
When has square-enix ever not been about cash milking... hmm?
It's not an amazing graphics difference, you're right its mostly resolution and some minor tweaking... but it affects every unit/boss/character in the battle scenes. Unlike the mods I've seen.
But even though it's relatively minor tweaking... IMO it makes a huge difference. I bought the PS1 version on my PS3 and then pirated the new graphics one on PC... and for me it is definitely a big enough reason to start over on PC and forget the PS1 Version I have dl'ed on my ps3.
But really, nobody should be playing FF7 for the graphics, I just suggested he play it if he's never played/beaten the game before. It's a must play in my book, even after all these years.
