It's a massive open-world game and Sony has a history of delays this gen. If it does, I wouldn't be surprised.

It'd be really fascinating if that game wound up going directly against Zelda.

Uncharted was delayed three times. Holiday 2015 --> March --> April --> May.

Oh, good, so it's gonna be released on April then. BOTW on May. That sounds viable to me.
And then Square announces KH3, FF VII Remake part 1 and Nier in the same months.

In the hypothetical situation Zelda and Horizon both go in March.

I want that to happen to bring out the console wars like never before.

January 31:

"SURPRISE! In honour of FFVII's 20th anniversary, the FFVII remake is available right now!"

The more I think about it, the weirder the decision to delay it is. The game almost seems like it'd have been better off if they sucked it up and rolled with December at this point.

You guys do realize you don't need to buy games at launch, right? They'll still exist later. Cheaper, even.

I honestly don't understand why this is such a big deal.

Who thought this was ok!!! Did they all sit around a table

"Hey I bet my game can outsell your game in a crowded month"
"Nu uh let's see"
"Hey I want in on this bet let me add my game"

Edit: doesn't help 11 of those are all only ps4(console wise) too they're taking a sales hit for sure

Personally, I'd just be more worried about them eating each other's sales. I want more games like these, so I don't want their day-one sales to drop because of this.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Can someone please post here what the official PC requirements for this game are ? Wanna see if my mid-tier laptop can play it or not.

That is an absolutely insane amount of medium to big budget Japanese games in a two month span. It's like Japanese developers decided to have their own holiday period away from the western guys lol. I was interested in just about all of those but it looks like it will just be Yakuza and Persona for me, with a maybe Nier depending on how reviews are.

3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII.

For me it doesn't matter since I'm unlikely to buy all of those games, much less at launch, but I can get being concerned since a lot of publishers and retailers emphasize early, full-priced sales.

They aren't out yet. Probably won't be for a month or two, though I can't imagine it's much more demanding than Zestiria. It still has a PS3 version after all.

That and the fact that there won't be as many people to discuss the game with post-release. Also people start getting more careless with spoilers the farther we are from release date.

Yeah the date sucks for those interested in picking this up, after the last few Tales games though I'll wait to hear if its actually good or not before I even think about buying it.

Nier was not announced for America for February.

Pre-ordered the CE but holy fuck it's expensive. Dunno if I'll keep it, especially with other games coming out. Plus it doesn't seem to be getting the Amazon prime discount :(

Wow, did not expect that release date and I can't say that I am happy about it. January is already WAY too stacked with stuff I want to play and is right before the insanity that will be February.

Something's going to have to give and it will probably be Tales. Might have to wait for a Steam sale for it.

A good number of the games releasing in that time period are games that I've been waiting for for a while and want to play as soon as I can. Having them release so close to each other is inconvenient.

Probably only getting Berseria, Persona 5, and Nier Automata at launch now.

Wow, I need that collector's edition! Is it up for sale already? (My retailers haven't listen it) Or will it not be released in Europe (EU blog doesn't mention it)?
Plz Namco, I'm begging you!

Edit: oh wow, it is a bit expensive, though. May have to reconsider this.

Sooo close to Persona 5


Dammit! I don't care, I'm going to play the shit out of it. I just hope I can finish FF XV by then.

I want to support the genre by buying day 1. But no way I can fork out the money for 4 games all at full price in the first month of the year.

I was actually planning to save up in January for February.......

It's not just getting to play the games, it's supporting the series.
