When was Final Fantasy 7 Remake first announced? All the way back during E3, 2015. But Sony can keep teasing this game over and over again, so it seems like they have a lot of games coming, even if they are spread out over the course of 3-5 years. The PS4 was less than 2 years old when FF7R was first announced. The PS4 was younger when FF7R was first announced than the Switch was when Animal Crossing: New Horizons was first announced. We actually have to wait a really, really long time to get the big games on the PS4, because Sony and AAA third parties announce them so far ahead of time. Personally I prefer the way Nintendo does it. I find long waits to be frustrating. Yeah, we've all waited a long time for this next Direct, but waiting for a Direct is not nearly as bad as waiting for a game I really want. I very much prefer all the announced games to come out a year or less after they are announced. I feel like most of the game industry is trying to mess with me and make it seem like they have more than they really do. Nintendo doesn't have to announce games 5 years ahead of time, because they have plenty of games coming out this year. |
For people who doesn't have much free money is good to know in advance the games that's gonna be released, so we can pick the ones we want and save enough money for them
I understand americans don't have that concern (because games are generally priced on dollar), but right now a Nintendo triple A game is around 30% of the minium wage in my country, that's a lot
