Just out of curiosity -- who cares about this, really? The Japanese have a very different taste than us and a massive bias to domestic games.

You heard it guys: from now on we can only talk about Western games and Western tastes.

us? who the fuck is "us"?

Yakuza 5 seemed to have the biggest buzz right now

vareon · Sep 23, 2012

Seeing Bravely Default and Fantasy Life there made me smile. Sadly this means nothing though.

Who cares? I see you here, so the topic interested you enough to enter and post in it.

Eh....doesn't it say "the winners"? Aren't they all winners, instead of nominees? Unless the OP is wrongly translated.

All of those are Monhun4, conCap is just bad at spelling <3

Oh I see....

Still, MH4 is the only winner for me. :O

consoul · Sep 23, 2012

Kobayashi was making a big deal of this at the Biohazard 6 Special Stage event this afternoon. The more I see of RE6 the better it looks.

I didn't think I gave a damn about it until I saw the guys from Platinum live demo it today, but Metal Gear Rising: Revengence is looking great. Super fun cyborg ninja badassery at 60fps.

MonHun4 is going to be huge, but I'm going on record now as saying it looks like shit. The textures are fucking awful.

Mario007 · Sep 23, 2012

Nice to see Soul Sacrifice getting some hype. I am really curious how are the japanese gamers gonna react to it.

What are you talking about? Way to go completely misinterpreting my post.

Takao · Sep 23, 2012

Gravity Rush won game of the year, no?

AgentChris · Sep 23, 2012

Naruto Shippiden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is my most anticipated title from Japan.

How did he misinterpret your post? Your questions implied that we shouldn't care how the Japanese perceive their own games based on a conference; in addition, you write "us," as though GAF were some collective "other" whose tastes or interests don't include what's happening at TGS or in Japanese gaming tastes generally. The post comes off as ethnocentric, pure and simple.

He said: "You heard it guys: from now on we can only talk about Western games and Western tastes." Please tell me when I said that we should only talk about Western games. I'm dying to hear.

Yes. Yes it did.

Derrick01 · Sep 23, 2012

Really hope Yakuza 5 gets a west date. Looks even better than 4.

Corto · Sep 23, 2012

This year TGS is really lukewarm isn't it?

Fully deserved.

Everything is good except RE6. Demo was so awful I can't imagine the game getting a nomination for anything else but the brand name.

chertipros · Sep 23, 2012

Honestly all of the games in that list deserve to win. Maybe except for fantasy life and JoJo (i still expect them to be great games though)

Great list.

mujun · Sep 23, 2012

I don't like the way they only include Japanese games. Would the same thing be cool at E3 or Gamescom?

Also not cool with the huge procession of black vans driving through the city today telling Koreans to go home and whiteys too

Torraz · Sep 23, 2012

Very much looking forward to most of that list...

I would have thought it was because non-Japanese games don't have much of a presence at TGS.

Very solid TGS list. I'm very interested in the majority of them.

Lusankya · Sep 23, 2012

In my opinion it's the best TGS ever. Ace Attorney 5, Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney. It's like a dream came true.

But we knew about most of these games already before TGS. WERE ARE THE NEW GAME.

Like pointing it out means much considering they can't read properly.
