[Capella]

no, nooooo, no, maybe, fucking done with caring about this, yes, not again, lol, LOL

Where's evidence of this?

troubled 1st party development because developers are being split between actual games and games for the peripheral,

 

[SolidSnakex]

I think many publisher absence because Nintendo got them lock down for NX reveal.

Or they're just holding stuff back for their own streams. We know Square has an action game to announce. Koei didn't even show a Nioh trailer, yet on the 17th they've said that they'll show a "confidential Nioh video". None of Gusts games showed up even though they're going to have streams dedicated to them. Nothing really shown about RE7 even though we know they have stuff planned for TGS. I think publishers just want to have some announcements/trailers to debut on their own streams instead of having everything shown at Sony's conference which leads to fewer people paying attention to specific company streams.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Waiting for Microsofts tweet. Microsoft had the best tgs conference 2016

Yeah. If you look at last year for example, SE didn't show FF15 at the Sony conference and opted to debut the new trailer at their booth instead. This isn't anything new.

 

[K.Sabot]

Where's evidence of this?

There is no evidence, but there is precedence.

With how slow sony's been out of the gate in the development department, I truly believe it won't get better after they have some semblance of a success with their new shiny peripheral.

Probably that too.
Or maybe fucking SIEA holding back all the cool stuff for PSX, Dynasty warrior 9 for example. They fuck SIEJ real hard.

 

[Dmax3901]

So whats next on the agenda for TGS? Ie what should I look forward to next.

 

[Asd202]

I think many publisher absence because Nintendo got them lock down for NX reveal.

Can't wait for disappointment from NX reveal. People's expectations towards that are crazy high right now.

Probably that too.

They didn't even show Gravity Rush and TLG and both are supposed to come out in less than 3 months. Who knows what there thinking.

Yep, even at E3 Nier was announced at SE conference not at Sony's.

 

[delSai]

I have a question about third party showings at those events: Who is approaching who? Is it Mr. Sony asking Bandai-San if they can show Ace Combat 7? Or is it the other way around? Sorry for my ignorance, but i really dont know how that works.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Went ahead and made the Resident Evil VR Music Video Topic.

 

[Capella]

I think Atlus also saved all of their Persona 5 gameplay and news for their own even last year even though it was at Sony's conference the year before.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Didn't you hear everyone stopped making PS4 games to make NX games...

 

[K.Sabot]

Can't wait for disappointment from NX reveal. People's expectations towards that are crazy high right now.

Money on the reveal not being even 60% focused on games and people go nuts (in the bad way).

 

[Jack The Nipper]

expect nintendo to be nintendo. They will focus on something other than controller input.

Who knows what, but it isn't going to be pretty for me.

 

[DangerMouse]

Putting the game reveals aside, I'm happy that Sony is at least trying some new things to get Japan excited about gaming again

* Heavily pushing VR with a slew of genres and services
* Diversifying their portfolio
* Hosting Playstation Matsuri/festival in the coming months

Yeah

 

[samar11]

People here forgetting that TGS is targeting the Japanese. lol

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Money on the reveal not being even 60% focused on games and people go nuts (in the bad way).

Think it's safe to assume the reveal will be mainly hardware-focused. They need to show a bunch of games too though.

Yeah, it seems like it.

Yup.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

TGS has not started yet.

I know.

But seeing Bandai Namco's Naruto stuff, Falcom titles, long Yakuza trailers, etc are things that we have come to expect from Sony's pre-TGS presser.

 

[wildfire]

First half had all the good stuff. Second half was a dud.

2nd half was interesting because it seems like Sony is going to push VR as an application platform before FAcebook, MS or Google does.

It looks really rough but I'm very interested in seeing what's their full plan and what works at release.

 

[wapplew]

I know.

Sign of Japanese publishers have big show stage of their own and independence from platform holder.
I think its a good thing.

 

[LiquidSolid]

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.

DangerMouse posts a list with 5 new IPs in it and your response is "that's totally the same as this list of sequels!" Just stop. Your argument is dumb.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Think Japan studios wants to ship TLG,GR2 and Everybody's golf before they start announcing new games. Still that does not excuse Sony from this years poor showing.

 

[Jingo]

Waiting for Microsofts tweet. Microsoft had the best tgs conference 2016

If they release a scalebound trailer now it will be the best conference indeed.

 

[Pachimari]

Well fuck, I missed this. So this is Sony's TGS conference?

No DMC5, Ace Combat 7, SFV S2 or Ni no Kuni 2?

 

[Some Nobody]

Probably that too.
Or maybe fucking SIEA holding back all the cool stuff for PSX, Dynasty warrior 9 for example. They fuck SIEJ real hard.

On the bright side this makes me expect PSX is going to be pretty good, actually.

 

[Qvoth]

nier or nioh will get a delay imo so that they won't fight each other sales wise

 

[1st Course]

Probably that too.
Or maybe fucking SIEA holding back all the cool stuff for PSX, Dynasty warrior 9 for example. They fuck SIEJ real hard.

This is probably the case.

PSX should be good this year.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Sign of Japanese publishers have big show stage of their own and independence from platform holder.
I think its a good thing.

Honest question: do Falcom and Marvelous have their own TGS live streams where they are supposed to announce new titles?

Also, I'm not sure I see that as a good thing. I would much rather see surprise announcement/gameplay trailers at a big presser than to see a thread in GAF saying that title X has been announced which takes away the thrill and surprise factors that you would get from the former approach.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So checking the front page of gaf. I'm assuming I made the right decision and just went to sleep? Lol.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I hope SIEA makes Gravity Rush Remastered a Plus title before the release of GR2 like Japan is doing. It would get a lot of attention since people always want retail games on the service.

 

[lupinko]

There were definitely more games at prior years conferences. I thought it was going to be a lock to see Tekken 7.

Tekken 7 is old hat, we've seen and played it since last year.

 

[Capella]

There is no evidence, but there is precedence.

With how slow sony's been out of the gate in the development department, I truly believe it won't get better after they have some semblance of a success with their new shiny peripheral.

I'm pretty sure development was slow for a lot of studios at the beginning. Isn't that the reason why we had so many remasters at the beginning of this gen? Plus development times are longer now for games compared to last gen.

 

[thekiddfran]

Missed the conference

Does anyone have a list of what happened?

Didn't really miss anything honestly

Tower defend VR, I think will be fun.

Lol what a title.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? VR gameplay video

 

[MrCarter]

Yeah I'm not watching TGS ever again. The whole show was awful with most existing trailers being shown but in Japanese. I think it's fair to say PlayStation is a western brand now with Japanese developers being more and more secondary to that division.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

You lucky son of a gun. The only thing you missed was an opportunity to waste your time.

That was not the TGS, it was the Japanese Sony Press Conference. TGS starts in two days.

tekken 7 will be in namco bandai livestream.

 

[Elios83]

Just woke up and...lol...this seemed more on the low key side.
It's nice that they got a few release dates announced.
New Hot Shot Golf looks great and really improved over the debut material.
Still no RE7,Tekken7, TLG, GT Sport, GR2 , Ni No Kuni 2, Ace Combat 7, no DQXI update, no interesting Pro details for japanese games.
Maybe we'll get more details in the dedicated conferences but so far looks like a missed opportunity to me.

[Rafus]

Oh, and the lack of Ace Combat 7 is devastating for me...

 

[Shahed]

Woke up a little earlier. Lookslike I'm glad I slept in an dmissed this one. Nothing of note for me whatsoever. Heck even the FFXV Limited Edition turned out to be a Slim knstead of a Pro ao that was a bust.

Oh well.
