Great conference, plenty of games to be excited about.

The couple of past years TGS had been good for us who are into Japanese games. But this one was just bad.

Granblue was announced last month.

Man, after a really good E3 presser, the last two Sony events were mostly wet farts.
Hopefully we'll get something better this year, whether it's Paris or PSX or both (though I'm not even sure there will be a Paris presser).

Last year with stuff like GR Remastered, GR2, Nioh, Yakuza, etc. was pretty relevant. Last year's conference was actually quite good for console games.

Last year's show was great, yet several titles from there didn't even see an update here. Also, who needs footage for Sony's own Japanese titles releasing in just a few months, amirite?

I'm going to show you the games Capcom has released in the three years since this generation has started. This is not counting remasters.
- Dead Rising 3
- Strider
- Monster Hunter 4
- Monster Hunter Generations
- Street Fighter V
I might have missed one or two.
To be fair, Monster Hunter Stories and Dead Rising 4 will be out by the end of the year. Thing is, outside of Resident Evil 7 and REmake 2, what do they even have in development that we know about? I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting (or maybe Deep Down lives?!?), but it's beyond clear that Capcom has become extremely conservative since the days of Resident Evil 6 and Street Fighter x Tekken.
I mean personally as a big fan of Japanese games I was happy to see release confirmations and new trailers for stuff like KH, NieR, SaGa, the FFXV hardware along with the new Gundam game, Itadaki Street and Granblue PS4.
That makes it even worse that they showed that shit off at a games conference without even mentioning RE7 besides a 1.5 second clip in a VR highlight reel and a miniature logo.
Did we know it was for PS4 and PSVR?
The bolded we knew about already.

Agreed.
They should have shown some updates on Gravity Rush 2, Valkyria Azure, etc as well.
Eh, EDF leaked. I would say it still counts as a new reveal.

Leaks don't count.

That's what's fascinating to me. Like, even with my expectations set fairly low at "a steady stream of games" (not even ones I necessarily care about), this show still disappointed lol.
No RE7? From Soft's working on stuff and they're machines, there's no way they aren't close to showing off something new lol. No Cold Steel 3? What happened to 13 Machines? Some actual footage of XenoVerse 2? Bandai Namco showed Gundam (which was cool) and fucking vanished, lol. And what's wrong with Sega? Isn't Valkyrie Azure Revolution coming out soon? Where's that? Yakuza 6 was shown in the sizzle reel and NOWHERE else and that series is actually BIG in Japan.
Like, for real. WTF happened.
This feels like what people generally expect TGS to be when its usually so much more than that.
2016 Sony is starting to remind me of Microsoft circa 2009.
Wants to sell me a peripheral, slowing / troubled 1st party development because developers are being split between actual games and games for the peripheral, making inane / anti-consumer decisions.
Is this just destined to happen to the console war leader at this point.

What stream? I thought it was over.

As I said a couple pages ago, they're probably waiting for the Resident Evil event on Saturday that's going to be live-streamed.
Schedule in Japan Time:
September 17th:
12:25 to 13:10 – Resident Evil Special Stage Part 1: Resident Evil 7: biohazard Stage – Featuring Masachika Kawata (producer) and Tsuyoshi Kanada (producer). The latest information on the numbered Resident Evil game.
13:10 to 13:15 – Talk
13:20 to 13:50 – Resident Evil Special Stage Part 2: Resident Evil 20th Anniversary and Movie Contents Stage – Featuring Hiroyuki Kobayashi (producer) and Masachika Kawata (producer). A producer talk stage full of Resident Evil-related information. The laetst information on the live-action Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and the CG Resident Evil: Vendetta, too!
13:50 to 14:00 – Resident Evil Booth Talk
(this would translate to 4:25 AM - 6 AM PST, or 7:25 AM - 9 AM EST.)
Good analogy actually. I don't know where PS4 Pro falls on there though.
Let's not get crazy now.
Most TGS game announcements just tend to happen on the show floor.
I don't see a thread about it. would someone please explain what was that Resident Evil related thing about? is it a VR spin off?
It's scary just thinking about this

Apologies, seems my YouTube autoplayed to a Gravity Daze 2 panel from back in August. Disregard.
Also, is this the only stream we're getting for TGS?
Ah, I didn't know about this, thanks for the info. Makes what we saw a little easier to swallow but at least we're getting a conference entirely devoted to RE7 soon.

You're hyping yourself up for inevitable disappointment. There's plenty of games that are in development that we know about that just didn't show up, and I'm pretty sure its not 'cause they're scrambling to be ready for an NX show.
DangerMouse

WTF?
Horizon, God of War, Days Gone, Spiderman, TLG, GR2, Gran Turismo, Dreams, Detroit, etc.

The more I think about it the more I realize how mind boggling was this thing.
What happened to Road to Boruto and Bandai Namco stuff? This just didn't feel right.

That would be pretty hype.
It's pretty much guaranteed that Nintendo will try to poach PS4 games for the NX.
My bets on Ni no Kuni 2 and FF7:R.

There wasn't really anything interesting about that conference. I was disappointed.
no, nooooo, no, maybe, fucking done with caring about this, yes, not again, lol, LOL
and you're speaking for the future... 2015 was abysmal for 1st party releases, 2016 will continue the trend.
people in 2009 would have espoused this "argument" at me if I said this about microsoft
"BUT BUT HALO: REACH, FABLE 3, ALAN WAKE, CRACKDOWN 2, GEARS 3, FORZA 4"
it's been feeling like sony hasn't been putting the best foot forward for a bit now.

Yeah Sony's first party development pipeline is fine. They've got games for days in pretty much every major genre. This isn't a problem with Sony WW, this was clearly just a Japanese thing.
This ain't about you fam, lol.

Hardly needs it since most of us have ever played it
TGS has not started yet.

I'm not expecting that, but it'd be pretty crazy. I really hope that reveal is incredible.
Yeah, and that doesn't seem so bad/dumb. Obviously, people outside of Japan wont care but i have to say this seems like a good idea.

It hasn't, but that doesn't usually stop developers from showing new games at Sony's conference.
