Tokyo Game Show 09

[Dreddz]

Its that time of the year again, and I'm pumped. There isn't much hype for this years show. Maybe its because of last years lackluster show but I always like to remain optimistic. Heres what I'm looking forward to and hoping for from this years show.

GT5 Release Date for this year
Yakuza 4 unveiling
Some half decent Wii games (I'm very close to buying a Wii so I hope there will be something I can look forward to after buying one)
More info on Metal Gear Rising (hopefully some gameplay)
More info on Meroid Other M
White Knight Chronicles 2 unveiling
More info on 3D Dot Game Heroes

And lastly.........RPG's! I don't care which system they are on, we just need more of them. Hopefully some interesting ones will pop up during the show. I remember Sony saying they had 14 in development, so I hope we can see a few more of them. Some are speculating that Legend of Dragoon 2 will be announced. Whether thats good news or bad, it'll definitely be interesting if it does actually happen.

So whats everyones expectations for this years show?

I don't care about the unveiling of White KNight 2, I just want 1 already, though I'm looking forward to more RPG's as well, preferably some high quality PS3 RPGs, idealy an announcment for Persona 5. :p

[Dreddz]

idealy an announcment for Persona 5. :p

Can't believe I didn't think of that. That would make my day for sure. If not Persona 5, then at least some kind of Shin Megami Tensei game. I remember Atlus saying waaaaay back in 2005 they were going to make a Shin Megami Tensei game for the PS3.

Fingers crossed.

After the shear awesome of Devil Survivor, I'm hoping Shin Megami will actually continue to delve into the realm of SRPG actually. :p

I'm also surprised you didn't express hope for a Dark Cloud 3 announcement. :p

[Dreddz]

I'm also surprised you didn't express hope for a Dark Cloud 3 announcement. :p
Oh, I would if it was a possibility. Its just that Level 5 is already working on WKC2. So unless Level 5's workforce grew over night without me knowing, I doubt we'll see DC3 until after WKC2 is finished.

Which probably won't be till next year :cry:

We're definitely on the same wavelength.

[KentaRawr!]

When it comes to Wii games, I've already got a pretty okay list of what to look forward to. But I also haven't gotten some of the better games out yet like the infamous No More Heroes, Madworld, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and Klonoa. I'd still like some new announcements, and I'd like to figure out what this vitality sensor thing is going to be used for, even if just for a laugh. :roll2

Edit: Oh, and more details on games like Monado: Beginning of the World and Metroid: Other M. Those two games barely even had clues for how they're played in their trailers.

I think I remember hearing a few months back about some bizzare Casino event or something where some random dude somehow affiliated with it confirmed that the next persona was coming out on the ps3. Here's some link:

PlayStation LifeStyle » Persona Continues its Adventure on PS3 (http://playstationlifestyle.net/2009/07/24/persona-continues-its-adventure-on-ps3/)

So I think its just a matter of being announced.

Personally, I'm hoping for GT5 this year, and maybe some new content/trophies for MGS4 that the Kojima team said to wait on.

I kinda wish Level 5 was working on a new IP instead of White Knight Chronicles 2, I guess I'm just selfishly skeptical b/c I haven't had time to sit down with the game on my own yet. But damn, aren't they supposed to be working on Dragon Quest X? Maybe Enix is outsourcing it to someone else?

I think lastly I'd just like some PSN updates. I'm really interested in the PSN Imports idea and I think some upgraded functionality across games would be greatly appreciated.

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm up for an announcement for Shin Megami Tensei 4 if it will ever happen. P5 sounds good too but I really feel the series needs a break or they are going to wear out the ideas.

I would love to hear anything Matsuno is working on since he sorta dropped out of the spotlight for awhile til Mad World came out.

I'm curious to see what Monolith Soft is working on for Nintendo, as well as more info about Golden Sun 3.

Sad to say, all I really care to hear from SE is any surprise announcement beyond DQVI coming to DS and DQX for Wii. Though it would be nice if SE finally released some in-game footage of VXIII.

The Big Boss game for PSP also has my attention even if I feel its time to lay the series to rest.

Mostly, I'm checking to hear about some surprise announcements as no one is really working on anything I'm particulary interest in right now and I have only a few series I still follow. A surprise announcement like Suikoden VI or a Breath of Fire VI would be awesome or even news on the mythical Vagrant Story 2...

I'm pretty sure Monolith Soft's next game for Nintendo is Monado: Beginning of the World, but I'm not sure. As for the Big Boss game, I'm surprised I forgot it. I'm really looking forward to seeing a bit of its story, but the gameplay released so far really interests me.

Technically that game that doesn't exist didn't have a number in the title. :p

Odd, the US copy doesn't have a five. :p

Well, given how it doesn't exist, they can at least release another installment here as V. ;)

[Momiji]

They're supposed to announce if the Mushihimesama Futari port for the 360 will be region-free or not.

Come on now, CAVE. Throw us a bone, here.

Well in terms of the Wii, New Super Mario Bros will be out this year(Nov 15), as well as the FF:CC Crystal Bearers(Dec 26). On top of some other great games like Muramasa, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Punch Out, Boy and his Blob... there's definitely good games out there for the Wii this year.
Plus the price cut on the actual system to 200 bucks that's effective this sunday.

Oh, and Monolith Soft is working on Monado.

Sony though pretty much all japan only (as of now)
GT5 is dated March 2010
PSP 3000 getting price cut (not sure about anywhere else)
FF XIII Pink/White PS3 250GB, w/ white dual shock, out with game Dec 17
FFVIII in PSN store
Motion Controller Spring 2010
RE5 with motion Controls (cursor controlled) dual shock in one hand, wand in other (sounds awkward) out same time as controller
Little Big Planet with motion controls(patch, not a new game). One person controls sack boy with dual shock, other has wand to assist. (think Mario Galaxy 2 player)
some current games will get motion support (ex PAIN, High Velocity Bowling, Flower, EyePet.)
new White Knight trailer
Playstation home for PSP or ROOM (R[infinity]M)
bunch of other PSN stuff (such as manga)

THE JACKAL

[Wolf Kanno]

I was reading a news article talking about what SE planned to show this year and was surprised to see Seiken Denetsu 2 for a mobile console (http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/09/square-enixs-final-fantasy-heavy-tokyo-game-show-lineup/)...

Any news on this yet?

That was a pretty weak showing from Sony to be honest. Nothing I didn't expect. I was at least hoping for one announcement to take me off guard. Oh well. Seems like a lot of the focus was on their motion control. The idea of using the dualshock in one hand is kind of messed up. It looks like they are just ripping off the Wii as well. Plus with only a handful of games supporting the device, I really don't know how Sony are going to make a success of it.

The Yakuza 4 trailer was pretty interesting. Sure, I didn't understand what was going on, but it still looked cool. Pretty bummed to hear that GT5 won't be released till 2010. They said at Gamescom that it was going to be released this year. What a blatant lie. There was also some new Last Guardian footage released but I found it pretty underwelming.

The show still has a few more days. I'm interested to see what Microsoft shows with Natal. Apparantly Kojima is going to be there, so it'll be something worth looking at I'm sure.

[KentaRawr!]

So, I saw the Peace Walker trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-09-metal-gear/56487). I'd say I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it. :p

[Gilghamut]

You can download the MGS Peace Walker Demo for the PSP, go to the following site and follow the directions:

[KentaRawr!]

I downloaded the demo, but I haven't moved it to the PSP yet. My brother's borrowing my PSP charger. Tough luck for me. :(

[Wolf Kanno]

Downloading the demo as we speak and loved the Peace Walker trailer. I can believe Kojima when he said the game could easily be called MGS5 after watching that trailer. :cool:

Or they may just pull a Final Fantasy on us.

An Okami sequel... for the DS (http://tgs.gamespot.com/story/6230537/okami-ds-producer-takes-the-tgs-stage-) :love:

[krissy]

yeah that's exciting!
i like that ammy looks like a puppy. it just works cause the ds is so small.

hopefully it's good

[Dreddz]

TGS was pretty tame this year. I'd go as far to say that its been the worst show thus far. At least this years E3 was pretty good.

On the contrary, I'm all jittery with excitement now.
