12 New Details You Didn’t Know About In 2016’s Remaining Video Games

Endless delays for your favourite games just seems to be a fact of life in 2016, but for once, it's actually been done with the best intentions.

See, it's inevitable that a game will require patches and amendments to its code in the time between submitting for print and release, hence 'day one patches' as the team continue to work in between these two dates.

For FF XV, director Hajime Tabata has mentioned about how gamers who aren't connected to the internet always receive an irrevocably worse experience, and how he doesn't want to fall back on the availability of patches as an excuse to release a game earlier.

Yes, it stings that FF XV is delayed yet again, but when that's in service of delivering a product that for once, doesn't put money first and require a touch-up the second you get it home, fans should be more than up for letting this one slide.
