I don't know if there's a team so to speak, but I do vaguely recall that Gavin Moore said he was heading a smaller, digital-only project after Puppeteer proved to be a massive commercial flop. Shame that, because the game is ace, but there you go.

I really don't think it's a good idea, Japanese games don't really sale well on Xbox.

What makes you think Japanese studios would want to make their games exclusive to a system their games would sell like shit on?

As long as DMC5 is announced itll be better than E3
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Not to mention even when MS has tried in Japan, it hasn't worked out. Neither side has much incentive.
All the best TGS stuff is likely to be multiplat.
With the exception of Scalebound of course, which is XB1 only
I'm not a Sony insider. I don't particularly give a shit about the Playstation brand anymore, even though I'm still happy to endorse/buy Playstation hardware/games.
You think that TGS will be all multi plats and an MS exclusive? Have you every watched or followed a TGS conference?

i expect some strong announcements from Sony at this years TGS, considering the momentum of the japanese market. (TGS is the best place, to affect it)
Last year was already much better than years before with (FFXV, FF Type 0, Persona 5, Disgea, DQ Heroes)

Hired studio do not base earning on sale right? MS pay the bill, they got pay, everybody win.

All it does is create animosity. No random developer's game is worth buying an Xbone over. Most people will just put those games in their "don't give a shit about because I can't play" list. People will probably end up downplaying those games and insulting them after release as well, since they can't play them. And no one on Xbone will buy them.
But Japanese studios are about honor as well. It's a bad look to screw over Sony / Nintendo for cash, and to do it on a console that like 5,000 people own.

I'd say some Vita exclusives, but mostly PS4/Vita cross-platforms.
Yea, 2014 was bigger on console front.

They get paid to make the game and then royalties off each sale. But if there's no sales, what are those studios meant to do when Microsoft inevitably abandon them, just like last gen, and they've got no money coming in? They're better off going mobile.

Aand that's all Japan needed. Looking forward to IM@S 3 and PS4 reviving Japans Gaming while ending Berserk.

Hopefully that Level 5 RPG, mainline DQ game and HD release of DQVIII. That would win it for me.
However I feel that E3 already had an unusually good selection of Japanese titles announced unlike previous years so TGS isn't super important for that outlook. Still more the merrier.

Considering DQ8 is coming to 3DS, I can't imagine them announcing an HD port anytime soon.
That's not what he's asking.
It's obviously what he wants though.

If there's a level 5 rpg I really hope it's dark cloud 3 and not more ni no kuni. It really legitimately would have been better as a movie, couldn't stand playing it. I don't see parasite eve happening but squeenix has been on something of a roll so maybe they can not ruin it this time?
Money is money but no one's deluding themselves into thinking their game will actually make money on Xbox in Japan
As other posters have pointed out, they tried that twice and failed both times.
This gen isn't even worth wasting the money on for them. Not only because they'd be bashing their heads against a brick wall, but also because it's not like the dedicated gaming sector in Japan is necessarily worth it at the moment anyways.
Is that common at TGS? The only one I've seen was 2013 and there weren't any from what I remember.
*shrugs* I think he just wants to get hyped.

Yeah, but one can still hope. Give it a HD port the game deserves.

I expect TGS to be same as usual.
15+ or so games shown the conference.
Mostly Playstation-exclusive, some multiplats.
Some Vita games, less dedicated exclusives this year compared to 2013/14. (most will be PSV/3/4)
2-3 first-party games. Guesses are Everybody's Golf, Gravity Daze 2 & 1 unannounced.
Most of GAF to not care about at least 10 of the games announced on the show.
1-2 "big" reveals, but none that remotely compares to FFVII. Maybe a MonHunX PS4 port or something like that.
No Dragon Quest XI. Dedicated press conference on its own for that one.

I wouldn't be surprised if one or two Japanese first party titles were pushed back to PGW or PSX. Puppeteer and Rain were announced at Gamescom, after all.
They didn't say that though.

I would've agreed last year, but I get a vibe this year (because of the SCE/kitaon tweet & the KindaFunny interview) that 1st-party showing at SCEJA is going to be a bit better this year than previous years.

I'd be happy with P5 release date.
I've kinda given up on Gravity Rush 2 tho seeing how Vita's been doing...

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Let's just hope they hire some good translators (and translate a lot of material before the show starts) this year, if they're putting a lot more effort in.

I'm hoping so. We need for Japanese games here, and Japan needs them as well to push home console sales there.
Persona 5 release date will come before TGS, probably in a Famitsu magazine.
Gravity Rush 2 will highly likely be on PS4.
