Thread: Tokyo Game Show is almost upon us

  1. #1

    Default Tokyo Game Show is almost upon us

    I'm sure TGS is more meaningful to people on this board so I deemed TGS thread worthy. What are your expectations for the event? What do you hope is going to be announced?

    I'm definitely interested to see what Sony is bringing to the event. They have 14 unannounced titles coming (which I guess is 13 now seeing as the recent RPG Demon Souls was one of them) 3 are said to be PSP titles (which is lame in my opinion) and a whopping 11 are for PS3. I guess a lot of PS3 owners are favoring the idea that a lot of them are JRPG's. This is TGS after all. I think Team Ico's game is ready to be unveiled because I personally think 3 years after their previous game was released is enough time to at least release a brief teaser. Two of the 14 unannounced games are from third party publishers, one of them being Konami. I suspect the long over-due Suikoden VI is going to be the title from them.

    I wouldn't doubt Microsoft either. They are opening the event with their conference which is quite a daunting task so I'm sure they are prepared. I think they're big announcement for the event is that FFXIII is coming to the 360 in Japan. After their streak of (moderate) success in the country it wouldn't surprise me if they go all the way and try to over-run Sony on their own turf. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

    Finally I hope to see some more info on Yakuza 3, White Knight Chronicles (both confirmed to be at the event) and Ninja Blade.

    Sega released a pre-TGS Bayonetta trailer, so I'm hoping to see more information about that.

    Well, except for something by Team Ico, I can't say Sony will have too many things I'm interested in unless they throw a curve ball at us. MS will probably be showing off all of the SE love and possible a few more JRPGs from third party companies. I don't expect Nintendo to show anything worthwhile for the Wii. Probably more on the new Wii Sports title but nothing beyond that which would interest the the die hard fanbase. Unless, Monolith Soft or the rumored Matsuno project make a surprise appearance. For Nintendo it will all be about the DS.

    Third party is where it is at, Capcom will probably show more on RE5, that new Lost Planet sequel, and Mad World. I also expect to see a lot of low profile titles from them. I can see Capcom talking about SFIV coming to consoles and I wouldn't be surprised to hear about new projects for download on the systems. Biggest shocker they could pull but is terribly unlikely? Breath of Fire VI

    Konami will be intriguing and I can only hope for a Suikoden sequel but I'm sure they will be showing more Silent Hill nonsense (just retire the franchise for heaven's sake) and who knows? Possible a little info on what Kojima is doing now that MGS is done.

    SE will probably show more on Last Remnant and the same trailers for the XIII projects with possibly 10 seconds of new footage. Dissidia will get some love and we will probably have the final unveiling of the character roster. Star Ocean 4 will get some love and I wouldn't be surprised to hear about new projects in the works for the Ivalice Alliance and the Compilation of FFVII. A little more info on the KH projects as well. I'm certain their will be a few low profile titles for the DS and PSP that will be shown and get no coverage. The one thing SE could do to steal the show is have the playable XIII demo on the floor which is not an impossibility.

    Atlus, will be the group I'm looking forward to the most. Hopefully a new MegaTen game and Persona 5 will be announced. Maybe some love from Nippon Ichi. Mostly a plethora of non-mainstream titles...

    After that, its just the little gems here and there from lesser known third party companies.

    Well, Kenji Inafune has expressed that he wants to make a new Mega Man Legends, just he isn't sure if Capcom could really handle the budget. They did good with Lost Planet/Dead Rising, depending on how the downloads are looking for MEga Man 9, I would really like to see this as a possibility. PS3 at that. It was basically a sandbox game before they were called sandbox games, so this to me would be huge.

    I'd like to see a relative release date for FFXIII. Definately one for last remnant on PS3 (undated). Also, Square said they were gonna anounce something htat would put the bhall back in Sony's court and it never came at that event. I think if it actually is something other than the playable demo, this would be an awesome time for that. With XIII on the 360 delaying us PS3 owners from getting it, Last Remnant coming first for them, and Infinite Undiscovery, it's time for some equality.

    MGS5 is already being discussed. Considering how quickly after 3 MGS4 was announced, I honestly wouldn't be surprised on this one.

    I don't think Atlus are going.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the new Team Ico game and Dragon Quest IX. I'm hoping for a Final Fantasy V DS annoucement as well but not holding my hopes too high. Otherwise, I don't really care about this. Japan isn't the one making the more interesting games at the moment.

    Yes! That would be totally awesome.

    Its not an impossibility but I personally feel there is nowhere else to go with the series at this point. It still doesn't change the possibility Konami is working on it though. Personally, I'm hoping for Kojima to announce a sequel to Snatcher

    They should totally anounce either Re-makes or Ports of Lufia 1 and 2, and then announce a continuation of the story.
    CAUSE I WANT MORE AREK DAMMIT! CURSE YOU NATSUME!

    But yeah, I'm hoping for some strong PS3 and Wii titles to come up. Since those are the systems I own. (WILL own PS3 on the 10th at least. )

    But yes, Breath of Fire V! (I refuse to call that garbage Dragon Quarter V, it was a disgrace and best left forgotten in the sands of time. I will not dignify it by giving it a number.)

    Is Nintendo even going? They did just have their whole press conference thing the other day. Are they just so full of ideas and projects that they need two events to get them all out there? xP

    You are dead to me Neocracker... That game was awesome and easily has one of the best plots in the series.

    God himself couldn't save you from the hell you have condemned yourself too.

    I don't care about the plot in this case, as the game itself was so horrid, not even the greatest game plot ever could save it.

    That's how I kind of felt, too, but Kojima stated he already has 3 ideas in his head for MGS5, but hoping his team doesn't use them so he can just produce. link

    and how could I forget Dragon Quest IX? I heard somewhere it's supposed to be out in Japan before the end of the year, hopefully an NA release date will be announced and more info.

    Maybe they'll release a new 20-minute FFXIII trailer, with an entire second of gameplay footage?

    Bungie's next project is the main thing I care about.

    Also, Ninja Blade is being shown off, I think. That game has potential.

    And some company is announcing some "famous" Japanese dev is making a game with them but that might not be at TGS. I forget now. It could be Itagaki.
