12 New Details You Didn’t Know About In 2016’s Remaining Video Games
All the latest information on the biggest upcoming games of the year, all in one place.
Despite August and September being relatively title-free in terms of big triple-As worth talking about, October through Christmas is going to remedy that in a big way. In the words of Liquid Snake, "It's not over yet!"
There are multiple majorly-anticipated games per month, and that's before you get into the ones that have been in the oven for almost a decade. Not one but two games that have 10 years to their name will be dropping in the next few months, providing very interesting cases of what sort of expectations we have when a project is in the public eye for so long.

12. Titanfall 2's Physical Copies On PC Won't Contain Discs
Yup... it's as WTF-inducing as it sounds.

The whole point of making the effort to pick up a physical disc is to get around download speeds, but with this bizarre stepping stone towards complete digital distribution, EA want to appease those customers who still go to brick n' mortar stores, before asking them to sit and wait for a download anyway.
It's maddening.
Cost-wise, producing discs is actually the lowest amount in regards to artwork, boxes and security wrapping, but clearly EA want to send the message that they wholeheartedly believe in a digital future.
Do you agree?
