Good lord, I straight up forgot E3 existed at all this year.

I stopped caring about it years ago, because it's pretty much a giant cock-tease most of the time anyway, and anything worth knowing will wind up online afterwards regardless.

I won't go so far as to say it's the Oscars of gaming in terms of complete irrelevance, but it's close.

And then the heavens opened up and gave us what we wanted, unlike Microsoft.

That game is going to be so, so shit. I can't imagine any scenario where it doesn't wind up being a massive disappointment to the vast majority of people obsessing over it now.

And that's not even a "Older games are better and should be preserved exactly the way they originally were!" mindset, or even a "You should never remake good games/movies/shows/songs/books/etc because they will never live up to the nostalgic appeal of the original" mindset (even if both of those things are usually true), because it IS possible to remake an older, popular game and "modernize" it without losing what made it so appealing in the first place (RE2 did a good job of this, I'd say). But I get zero impression that Squeenix even understands what made FFVII so popular in the first place, or are capable of ever properly translating that into something that will appeal to both old and new audiences. This is going to be a clusterfuck with a capital C, and a capital fuck.
