Uh....what? Did I miss some big news?

That plus FFIX remake/remaster would be amazing.

  • Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster: 2022-02-01 .... excuse me?

It was in the previous leak, which correctly listed Actraiser Remake before anyone was even speculating. Eidos Montreal is sending out questionaires to recruit for playtesting and they are explicitly focused questions about history with the Tactics and Ogre series.

It is happening. Most SE remasters get officially announced about 3-5 months before release, but Actraiser was a shock and Pixel Remakes were about 2 months. LoM was 3, SaGa Frontier was like 5 or 6 months.

Square is basically out of higher profile games to remaster. They need to go deeper to stuff like FFT or just give up doing remasters. The playtesting recruitment basically removed any doubt on this.

We have no idea what is coming for 9. I would bet on something like the Pixel Remasters where they just rebuild the game in Unity with new/uprezzed backgrounds. Even FFT could be getting a full rebuild using the Retina HD assets rather than trying to do the port of a port of a port.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

Old dates or not, the fact is this list is inconsistent which is why we can't take this list for granted. Like how can you be sure these are release dates even? Place holders are done by everyone as they set them as a potential release point depending on their plans and plans change all the time. Steam data base is a good example of how much changes a title can go through.
i mean its obvious that these dates are inconsistent and old but they're imo not hugely far off from the actual dates..even if their placeholders they're set by the devs quite possibly which gives it a lot more credence than some placeholder date on an online retailer for example. Its from the horse's mouth. Do you think even if its a placeholder, the year of a release date for example would've been set without any thought put into it? There would be some sort of plan behind even a placeholder as to give a general idea of when a game might release in the future cause these are internal placeholders even if they are placeholders..

Yeah it seems a bit early, and it could've been before it was delayed. Most likely, they were targeting 2021-09 for PlayStation release, and PC would've been a year later.

Theres omitted data, including released titles and things that had no date listed.
IIRC from the last leak the HZD date was earlier than it actually launched. So I'd guess that all the Playstation dates are too early by several months. All the PS dates are identical to the last leak, because no one amended anything since

Not always.

Placeholders are placeholders for a reason. Sometimes the game does get ready in around that time but not always.

Just look into Steam database. There are plenty of examples. Yakuza 6 was on there for a really long time and it took years until it came out. That was before a PC port was even around yet they registered it in case the other games do end up selling.

Weird that MK12 and Injustice 3 are only three month apart. Makes it look even more like Nvidia has no idea about these games

Ah, I see - I knew it was in the previous leak, but not that more correlation for Square specifically had popped up, nor the playtest questionnaires.

If it is legit, I just hope they fix the slowdown in FFT and speed up/tinker with the molasses-speed battle system in FFIX.

Right but that was a steamdb entry and these are possible placeholder street dates set by devs. A steamDB entry not being specific doesn't speak a whole lot outside of showing the existence of a game or showing how long since the game was added in the STEAM Database.. Usually SteamDB entries don't even have actual game titles so people can know what game series does a steamDB entry belong to.

While these are dates shared by devs internally by devs and use Geforce now as a communcation platform for game development. I would definitely attach some sort of importance to it.

yeah it is fake

or it is the most "totally an emulator" remaster ever

It's the same data from last time, just someone reuploaded it after it was taken down. So the data is real, ie nvidia were given this info.
People in the last thread on this said there was no way Actraiser Remake was a thing. It launched a week earlier than the date mentioned.
Dates are all provision. The only real questions are whether it is an active project in dev that will see release, has had changes and may no longer release on the same platforms, have a different title or any other changes, or if it has been abandonded

I doubt we will agree on this so I will cut it short but I hope you are right as the games coming early would be great. I just don't see it happening that early for most of them.

No problem :)

I don't think these games are coming anywhere close to those dates but not that far either but I guess we'll truly see once we reach 2022 and beyond.

I wouldn't trust the Square Enix dates at all. Square is super optimistic with placeholder dates. Parts of the Steam pages were off 4+ months for FF6 PR, probably.

There's not a lot of reason to doubt FFT and FF9 being next up for remasters. They do 5-10 new remasters/remakes per year and we only know of 5 or so for next year so there is room.

Honestly I wonder if Nvidia has gotten any angry emails from pubs about these leaks lol. So many plans just getting dumped right out into the open.

Ah yeah, Dragon Age 4 comes out in half a year. Of course.

This means nothing. People need to stop posting the goddamn Geforce stuff, it's getting old. So many people have said it before, and will say it again. Will anyone ever listen? Lmao.

It's purely for fun, I mention multiple times in OP that most are placeholders. Regarding, GeForce stuff... it's obvious there is something there. Multiple games announced after it was leaked prove it so. It's easily one of the biggest leaks in gaming of all time.

No FF7R on PC at least for another arbitrary 7-8 months is so freaking lame. Gotta love stupid console exclusivity contracts.

It continues to get lost but people probably need to see this each page.

In the original leak, those dates originated from a property / column called "EarliestStreetDate"

OP should really be updated with this more Sullivan

The dates that are pretty far out are clearly optimistic but can shine some light on what they were thinking in terms of timeline.

Some of these placeholders simply must be outdated. Dragon Age 4 in June is supremely lol, but perhaps it was what they were told prior to the developmental reboot.

Looking at these dates (even if they're inaccurate) it looks like The Game Awards might have some interesting (release date) trailers this year. Fingers crossed.

Hmm I hope that Untitled Respawn game is Jedi: Fallen Order 2! I think late 2022 is a reasonable estimate for release.
