"He also promised major titles which he could not detail." "the balance for this year's show will shift towards Vita." I like the sound of them, especially the second one, vita needs more attention.

It needs all the attention. PS3 future has been set, we know whats coming, this and next year are filled with great exclusives. I'm expecting 2 big Japanese exclusives at TGS, 2 big Western games at GC and 2 potentially good games at Game heaven.

[Takao]

I don't even remember any mention of PS3 during SCEJ's TGS conference last year outside of Kojima talking about the HD Collections coming to both PS3, and Vita as well as FFX HD. They're not the ones ignoring it, lol.

[Sid]

Wait just realized major announcements could be ports of already existing or announced titles,ugh

It's either bullshit or money hats, I set my expectations on low for now.

Looking at Persona 4 sales this doesn't bother Japanese gamers

[gkryhewy]

Wildly optimistic.

[gembel]

MGS5 announcement.. trust me!

[cw_sasuke]

I don't think Soul Sacrifice will end up being this year. I suspect early 2013. God Eater 2 has been in development for a while so that should be able to launch late this year.

Would be really interesting if they secured GE2, for this holiday season as an exclusive. Bamco is ready to take that MH spot for Vita.

It bothers me though,if those titles are getting localized that is

[Man-is-Obsolete]

So long as those "Major Announcements" are indeed major and get localized, fingers crossed.

[Tenki]

I hope they have a big announcement or something for 2012. But I prefer to keep my expectations low.

[Takao]

I suppose Scamco would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big one. But of course God Eater on Vita is far from confirmed, even if early last year it seemed that studio was gearing up for Vita development.

[Defuser]

It better not be:
Ports
Collections
Logo of said game with no info nor media .

[Waldo Lydecker]

Maybe can we expect Gran Turismo 6 as a cross PS3/PSVita title?
Because they are working on it, recording material at Bathurst. And recently Kaz unable to comment on a question regarding Gran Turismo Vita.

GT6 is probably a PS4 game, but a new GT for Vita should exist. Making it a singular PS3/Vita title hurts the Vita release. Making it so you can transfer over vehicles earned in GT5, and race on a handful of similar tracks is fine.

[JCizzle]

Major announcements... that probably won't show up in NA for years (if at all). Why you gotta hate on us SCEA :(

This is what kaz said regarding gt vita

Before the game was limited to the living room of the house. But no turning back and is inevitable that a game console may be in the new mobile devices. [...] As new consoles and new platforms emerge, the language of the game changes. Evolution must offer the user the most intense experiences possible and with an increase in perceived quality.

seems likely to be announced soon?

[Massa]

If they don't release a GT for the Vita then SCEJ might as well stop existing.

[Waldo Lydecker]

Well one thing's for sure: that OLED screen and that black level could use a survival horror game, something like Siren. Or Resident Evil, although I really don't like that franchise anymore.

I think it's pretty obvious they will but when?i personally think gow,gravity rush 2 and gt are year 3 vita titles with killzone and uncharted next year,just speculating

[yencid]

can we get some news on dragons crown? i would be happy if just that.

I can almost guarantee one will be Tokyo Jungle for Vita.

GT games are in heavy decline in Japan though. It would just be a gift to Europe.

true

[Mr Swine]

Sounds good that there are major vita titels appearing on Vita haven.

Games I think that are going to be shown are:

1. Monster Hunter 4
2. Persona 5
3. God Eater 2
4. Final Fantasy game
5. Kingdom Hearts 3
6. Dragon Quest
7. GT Portable 2
8. Resident Evil sequel to Relevation


That's about it :)

[Elios83]

I thought they would skip this in favour of a bigger TGS presentation.
Still the more Vita announcements the better.
Thinking about the major announcements I guess they could score a few big exclusives with Persona 5, N1 games, Yakuza, parternships with Level 5 and From Software for new original games, more ports/remakes from Square Enix.
We'll see.

PS2 is still a new platform in many developing markets so budget releases can help bring some incremental increases.

Seems about right.

[Lyphen]

Dragon Quest 8, baby.

[ThisWreckage]

I think it is extremely important for them to get a Resident Evil title on this thing. I think it's imperative. Metal Gear would help too. They've got to reach out to Japanese developers.

[2+2=5]

Keep your expectations low, we don't even know what "not too far off" concretely means.

[Takao]

I think it is extremely important for them to get a Resident Evil title on this thing. I think it's imperative. Metal Gear would help too. They've got to reach out to Japanese developers.

I don't see how Sony could get an exclusive Resident Evil from Capcom given the latter's support of Vita thus far. Revelations should've been a 3DS/Vita game.

[Waldo Lydecker]

Dragon Quest 8, baby.

Yes, this. We've had all those HD remasters of great iconic PS2 games like ICO, SotC, MGS 2 and 3, the Ratchet and Clank series, Jak and Daxter, Sly, God of War, Silent Hill (although it was crap), RE4 and CV:X, we get FFX HD and Okami HD is announced.

If there is one game that should get a HD treatment it is Dragon Quest VIII, after IV my favourite DQ. Imagine this game in HD on the PS3 and / or Vita...

I mean, just look at this nice HD emulation footage!

True but I still say something in that field could be managed.
Especially considering both RE games on the 3DS weren't exactly huge sellers.

Perhaps they'd like to test the waters with vita and see how RE fairs there.
Not to mention the whatever status it became RE Portable is maybe on the backburner

[2+2=5]

No.
I don't want up ports from 3ds(and psp), it's not only a matter of graphics, it's a matter of overall power, vita can do extremely better than resident evil: revelations, i don't want to lower the quality bar only because a game has a famous name and it's really good on an inferior hardware.
I want games that take advantage of vita hardware, i don't want gods eater burst 2 and final fantasy type 0 on vita(but sales wise it would be the best move), i want them published here but for psp, i want ff type 1, kh bbs2 and other games specifically developed for vita.

The lackluster sales of the 3DS games aren't exactly going to motivate Capcom into spending more money on a game for a platform with a smaller install base. We'd get a Revelations+Mercenaries port at max IMO.

Nomura said that he views Vita as a "console" and not a handheld. Don't expect an exclusive KH.

What you want, and what you'll get are miles apart.

The only way there would ever be a real Resident Evil designed for Vita is if it's install base blows up to the forty million range, and that is not going to happen without software, and that's not going to happen without either dirt cheap games, or dirt cheap ports. Pick your poison.

We're talking about the first generation of games for a console with a small userbase. Expecting everything being tailored for Vita on this first year is desilusional.

[DMPrince]

soon. not far off. so 2013?
