But seriously though... how often are there announcements for big games that will be released the same year?

Hell even some indies are announced over a year in advance now.

Well... in recent memory there is Halo MCC, Killzone SF, Knack, Dead Rising 3, every COD game, every AC game, most sports games and probably quite a few more that I forgot.

Halo MCC is a remaster and is pretty much what people already expected, at least Halo 2 Anniversary was already pretty much confirmed long before the announcement. The launch games were announced together with the console and as such couldn't have been announced earlier. Yearly games don't really have announcements because they will be released anyway and everyone knows it.

So no games. Announcing the game close to the release is a very bad practice because you need at least a year hype buildup. That's why you won't see it often. That's why I think it's foolish to expect any announcements of big titles that are released within the year.

All you can hope for are some other remasters.

Forza Horizon 2 released like 3 or 4 months after announcement, Little Big Planet 3 like 5 months. Arent those AAA games?

And I can't wait for a Gears collection announcement. So theres the remaster.
