10 Anticipated Video Games That Have Probably Been Cancelled

5. Final Fantasy VII Remake

The development of FF VII's remake was so last minute, so haphazard and so "Oh god, we need something to show off, please just do it" on behalf of Sony, that the project's director Tetsuya Nomura didn't even know he was leading everything until after the game was announced.

Such a project is already impossible to get right, as Square routinely discussed the fact that if they were to ever revisit their most iconic work, it would prove the studio has no forward momentum left. Still, with enough money invested from Sony, we're supposedly getting a full Final Fantasy VII remake, but episodically... and with real-time hack n' slash combat.

Because that's what fans want.

This "multiple instalment" decision was in response to the magnitude of remaking something that first appeared on multiple discs, though despite mentioning we'd see continued updates and footage thereafter, nothing has emerged in two years.

Even Nomura has urged fans to keep waiting for announcements, but with the idea of a remake being forced in the first place - and the project being such a mammoth undertaking - would Square Enix really be losing anything by cancelling?
