In my last post I talked about the things that I am hyped about that were announced, but what about the disappoints? Games are great, but sometimes there’s rumors and leaks that just aren’t discussed. They may be announced at a later time, but when you’re hoping they are shown and aren’t then it can suck. So what are the ones that were missed this year that I was hoping for?
Final Fantasy VII Remake
I would love it to be announced for Xbox, but even if I need to play it on PC or PS5, I’d like to at least know when part 2 is coming. I’d also love to know how many parts there are and the projected release date for them. I put in many hours of the original Final Fantasy VII and haven’t touched the remake because I just want to play it all the way through, like I did growing up. The 25th anniversary of VII has a conference today though, it’s not officially part of Summer Game Fest, so it wasn’t on the schedule, but it is possible they show something today. With the console exclusive tag being removed from Sony’s store, it being announced for Switch or Xbox is a huge possibility.
GoldenEye Remake
Earlier this year Achievements were leaked for this unannounced game. More were leaked early this month as well. It was rumored to be a Nintendo Switch and Xbox game. Unfortunately it wasn’t shown during the Xbox conference and so far there’s nothing official saying it could be anywhere else. Nintendo is rumored to be doing a Nintendo Direct later this month though. Could we see GoldenEye at a Nintedo event? It’s a possibility they have the right to announce it first. We’ll see by the 30th if any of this comes true.
Fable
Fable was announced a few years ago with a short teaser. Since then nothing has been shown of the game. Is it even still in development at this point? Probably. Since it’s announcement, Microsoft has acquired Bethesda and they are king of the RPG. With Starfield so close to release, it’s possible that they want to put that out and then show something next year regarding the game.
Gears of War: Marcus Fenix Collection
This was a game that I was hoping would be real. Gears of War 6 is going to be using the new Unreal Engine, so I was hoping we would see a collection of games before that. I have streamed every single main Gears game to date, so to do it all again on their latest console with amazing graphics is something that I’d really love to do.
Was there anything you were hoping to see? Do you think we could see some of these games get announced before 2022 is out? I know I am still holding out some hope.
