Good catch!
Is there a collection of all the stuff people have managed to find in the trailer?
That was fucking priceless dude!

Somewhat ironic as it's you who are unaware of how massive Half Life 2 is.
Impact on gaming culture aside, sales wise it has outsold Final Fantasy 7 by millions and has 7 years less to do so.
Not sure how you can compare them either, apples and oranges.

Not surprising. TONS of people who don't give a shit about FFVII probably checked it out. In fact there's probably a ton of people that got excited for this even though they don't know what it is.

as a comparison:
After 1 week this has already more views than (checked the most viewed video/Trailer of these games)
Uncharted 4, Destiny, Halo 5, The Last of US, AC Syndicate, The Witcher 3, Fifa 16, Final Fantasy 15, Kingdom Hearts 3, every Gears of War Game and the original Tech demo from 2005

I don't think that will happen.
Sony had an insane marketing campaign for FF7 at the time, it was incredibly expensive. I highly doubt they will ever do something like that again.
Sony is going to market this to the moon and back. There's a reason why SE has a deal with Sony.

Would the most viewed video that used games troll video with Shu and Boyes?
Think that was over 12 million.

Does Star Wars Force Awakens movie trailer have more views than FF7 remake E3 reveal? Just asking, because I think FF7 is as big as Star Wars in the videogame world.
The industry is way bigger now and we have stuff like Youtube/social media to raise the word of mouth/marketing about the game. Also people have been talking about this game for years, which led to millions more people playing it on emulator/ports/Steam/etc. I think it will outsell the original.

Yeah, it's not going to be the most viewed video.
But it might be the most viewed game trailer in the channel (it's pretty close to that actually).

Battlefront though
Battle of the nostalgia, Star Wars vs Final Fantasy VII.
Great time to be alive and gaming.
Idk if it will outsell the original but this game will easily sell millions.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Official Teaser #2 has 55 million alone.

Dude, I teared up watching this reaction video. I could feel the emotion in the theater.
Well done good sir.
Original title sold 9.81m worldwide of which 4 million was sold in Japan.

Yeah, you don't fuck with Star Wars.

Square seem to be in their best position in a decade in terms of project management, why not take it on when you finally have the capability?

What year was that number? I'm sure the number is much higher with emulation and second hand buys

Yeah, I could see something crazy like that happening. Listening to even the movie theater reactions are amazing.

Impressive. This must be the highest view count for a Japanese game announcement right?

This game will not outsell the original but to say it will more than make up for the investment would be an understatement to say the least. You just know Sony will push this unbelievably hard, the nostalgia factor alone would ensure the game would push a few million within the first month at absolute worst. The film industry is showing just how powerful nostalgia is, Jurassic World is doing amazingly well and even dog shit like the Star Wars franchise will do well end of this year.
I'm just to damn happy this is finally happening, I'm hoping 2017 but that's probably being too optimistic.

Haha that was you? My friend at work showed this to me. Its so good. Priceless. I was at home by myself. I flipped out but I had nobody to high five and share the excitement with
GAF was here though. Sorta. Afterward anyway. Such a great moment in gaming history. I will remember it forever.

Sony was the publisher for FF7 in the US so I can see your statement being true. It will show up somewhere else like PC and there's no reason Square won't publish it themselves. I wonder if Japan will line up for it or anything. I remember the old days when people would be in lines for a new Final Fantasy, console, or Dragon Quest.

Haha, I remember the FF7 remake threads over the past couple years where people claimed that everyone interested in 7 had moved on and that it wouldn't sell. So much crow!

This is hilarious. If you didn't know the context, the natural assumption when everyone starts screaming and the camera starts waving around would be: zombies attacking theater.
December 2006 sales for all PlayStation 1 SKU's.
9.81m is the number of new sales to retailers.
Of course when you add in second hand and emulation then it's much higher as it is with any game. But I'm just saying what the game actually sold on PS1.
