7 Upcoming Video Games That Will Waste Their Biggest Selling Points

4. Letting You Re-Experience One Of The Best RPGs Ever Made - Final Fantasy VII Remake

You think you want a Final Fantasy VII remake, but you don't. You think you want any remake from your childhood, but unless it's an aesthetic rework with minor changes/improvements to controls and animation (like Crash and Spyro), you don't.

PR-wise we've not had a substantial update in three years, whilst development hit an immediate snag as Square Enix had to announce the project would be split across multiple episodic instalments - and that's before you get to the new style of gameplay.

Which is to say: The way you remember playing Final Fantasy VII? The turn-based combat, the tone-setting camera angles? Both gone, replaced with Final Fantasy XV's sluggish "real time" action as the camera hugs Cloud the whole time.
