27/100.
Who has talked about threats? They made a deal and that deal probably entails to not talk about other platforms just like a lot of timed exclusives.

I believe Sony didn't even mentioned Versus XIII before E3 2013 lol
Anyway, I don't think Sony would care if VIIR was announced for another platform before the game's release, it's already announced as a temp exclusive anyway, so people know that it won't stay only on PS4 forever.
I don't really intend to become a leaker or whatever so credit with this doesn't really do anything for me though. I just stated that it's second-hand (it is) so people wouldn't be too disappointed in the case it's actually not happening.

This is a very implausible rumor. Like, if it were just "FF7 R will come to Switch at some point," I would think that was unlikely but difficult to dismiss out of hand. But the idea that Switch gameplay will be shown at E3 is nuts. They've barely shown PS4 gameplay! There is close to zero chance SE has been secretly plugging away at a Switch version all this time.
lmao these are so gold
Thanks for your opinion I guess. There is precedent for Sony and Square to break deals or whatever

This year is insane at this point and E3 is going to push that further.

Versus got cancelled and 13 going mutliplatform made a lot of sense? Don't really know what point you are making to be honest.

I wonder which meltdown would be bigger: the one from sony fanboys if this actually happens, or the one from nintendo fanboys if "FFVIIR coming to Switch" becomes "Lightning Returns Again: FFXIII Trilogy coming to Switch"
I'm rooting for the most devastating one.

The injustice.
No its because its a good thread
FFVI remake exclusive to switch, there you have the biggest uproar.

Most of these guys use this tactic to start rumors and gain attention, it's nothing new.

If it is true I hope the Switch version is more true to the original (i.e. no changes except for graphic update) than the PS4 version.

Great news. The best version on Switch and portable.
Hopefully SE treat it as a priority and give Nintendo timed exclusivity to make up for when they mistakenly put the original FFVII on PlayStation.
So. Nice.

Lol, if it is true, it absolutely isn't going to be a completely separate version of the game.
Hmm, I can see it.
Episode 1 will most likely only take place in Midgar, which is just corridors and indoor areas. This should make it possible to scale down nicely for the Switch hardware without making the CPU explode.
Once Episodes 2 and 3 roll out we will be on Switch 2 anyway.

I dont know what Sony and Nintendo fans would even need to fight for
it's not like any of them play the same games
im sorry
People keep thinking this...Midgar was really not that huge of a part of FF7. The game has an entire world map and Midgar is the starting area.
There are plenty of places where FF7 could stretch itself out, but Midgar's scenario in disc 1 really doesn't really have much space for 40 hours of content IMO

"Monster Hunter 5, PS4 Exclusive" would cause the biggest meltdown if you ask me.
That would make the game an entirely different game from the PS4 version. You would want a FF7 Remaster as opposed to the FF7 Remake that the PS4 is getting.

This happens literally every year around this time. No rumor should be even given attention this close to E3, no matter how plausible.

A+ post. Also likely to be true... At least as far as the timing of episodic releases goes.

if not the remake i'll gladly accept the original version on switch, for a fair price.
