This + Persona 5 = conference saved.

EDIT: Oops posted in the wrong thread (was quoting from this thread, but meant to post it in another). So sorry if you see this post twice.
 
Wow, the fail in this post in unbelievable. He actually thought this was TGS conference. I bet this was to just get some announcements out of the way. Good to know that we'll be getting Dynamic themes though.

Unless they are having a separate conference for the actual TGS.

I thought this was the main one. There wasn't any indication made there was going to be another.
 
Really good conference, exceeded my expectations.

To give people context, these are only two PS4 games that sold over 100k in Japan since launch:

Cross-plat Yakuza spin-off
Cross-plat Metal Gear demo

In this conference they announced/showed:

Disgaea 5 PS4
Resident Evil HD PS4
Resident Evil Revelations 2 PS4
Hot Shot Golf PS4
God Eater 2 PS4
Yakuza 0 PS4
Persona 5 PS4
New YS PS4
Bloodborne PS4 release date
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 PS4
Dragon Quest Heroes PS4

Most of these coming in 2015. Anyone who says the conference was "bad" or "disappointing" is seriously delusional.

Hm. This also kinda kills the idea that DQ11 is coming out on the PS4, doesn't it? We know DQ11 is in development and if it was something they could show (and by now it's probably at least got a cutscene or intro they can show) and was on PS4, they would have.

Whaaaat the exact opposite, this shows there's every chance dq will come to ps4.
 
Hmmm...I don't understand, this show seemed really good for the targeted audience and even had some stuff I would think PS4 owners universally would like.

But why does everyone want to see GR2, and updates to FF15, KH3, TLG, etc...I mean, isn't TGS coming up, what big games will they have if they announce everything here?

DQ spin is a great step towards getting a mainline RPG on the system and Morpheus might actually sell and increase PS4's sells which means more devs returning to consoles.

I dunno, I felt it was a strong first step, and we have the second part to Sony's strategy in just under two weeks at TGS.

You guys expectations are waaay out of whack. The only disappointment I had tonights was DQ isn't the official DQ11.

Solid Solid conference. For people saying worse conference ever and all this other jazz, I advise you to be more open-minded and less self-centered in what you find interesting games to play. This conference was full of stuff I'll be looking into buying.

Biohazard Revelations 2 (all platforms exc.WiiU)

And some others here and there.

A decent amount.
 
IIRC, I don't think Gravity Rush 2 was shown during the main conference last year? I'm holding out that it'll still be shown this year.
There was some Gravity Rush 2 stuff from TGS last year though. Maybe it wasn't in the main conference, but it was definitely was there.
 
I'd care a little more if Yakuza 0 had any chance to come to the west. P5 on PS4 is nice but I had a PS3 so I was gonna play it regardless. Ys is cool but thats about the only good thing out of this show

So ... my feed was a bit blurry ...

but the graphics on that Dragon Quest game looked pretty damn awesome.

I mean, it looked like DQ XI.

It really did look like XI for second. "One last announcement" made it feel even more likely, I was losing my shit.

But fuck everything. I hate myself for getting hyped.

I can't wait to see Revelations 2 in a couple weeks.

And ... it's coming out early 2015. 2nd time we get to see Panty Raid in action?

Capcom on PS4 so far have been killing it graphically with their trailers.
 
About the DQ game,

Just to say there is something terribly wrong with the way japan videogame industry reads the market.

This is the kind of game that not only would have sold potentially better on Vita, but could have push it to the moon, especially with some minor social/multi ala monster hunter elements.

Those kind of missed opportunities are just sad. It's like they decide randomly. A 400$ (maybe 350 when it's released) PS4 won't be saved by any game of this genre. While a cheap, already pretty popular and "japan compatible" Vita could use that as it's big definitive push.

And in general, the lack of Vita focus here is so terrile. It's like Sony doesn't get what's happening in Japan,they don't want to plainly assume that the Vita has 50 times more chance to bring money than PS4 there, the market has shifted..

That's also sad for something like Disgaea 5, which i'm pretty sure would sell better on Vita. Even persona 5.

It's like Sony has a system that can be a sucess, but prefer to ignore it to have an international strategy, while ignoring how Japan works now..

Disgaea and Persona have hardcore Japanese fan bases they will follow there series on any systems .
Plus bringing them out on Vita only means little to no western sales.

That's what this show corrects. They hit all the bases (licensed, musou, DQ, RPGs, etc)

The western audience is "conference sucked" but it wasn't for us.

It definitely doesn't correct that. The appeal of the PS4 isn't going to skyrocket by porting games over from systems with much higher install bases.
 
I take it Gaf isn't too big on the Disgaea series?

Disgaea
Ys
And that one game that made me losing all that sleep worth it...

Persona 5 on the PS4!!!!

I'm headed to bed now and Holy Shit @ how fast this thread is moving!!

To think this was the purpose of those fucking stairs. Jesus lol

For real though, the conference had some cool stuff.

-Bloodborne release date
-Pervy Morpheus sim
-Disgaea 5
-God Eater 2 Rage Burst and on PS4
-Persona 5 trailer
-Yakuza 0 trailer
-Persona 5 on PS4
-Ys on PS4
-Touhou on PS4
-PS4 themes

There's quite a bit for Japanese gamers.

Well ...... I will admit that put things into a bit better perspective.

However, unless they have more announcements planned for the actual TGS show. I still maintain that conference was weak. I will concede though, it wasn't a total travesty. Some decent moments there.

The P5 for PS4 was the biggest deal.

I'm surprised DQ is getting a musou before Final fucking Fantasy. Oh well. Guess they'll wait to see if Hyrule Warriors and DQ Heroes sell well

I love Japanese games, and I'm looking forward to some of the games they announced. That doesn't make this a good conference. Sitting through that thing was suffering.

Is the new Way of Samurai for Vita or PS4?
 
Gaf will be Gaf though, so I never expect reasonableness in a thread like this. Very funny though reading all the posts, nothing like it.

Having said that, anyone who lives in Japan, was this a nice conference for people interested in PS4? Particularly with more announcements of games coming in two weeks?

15+ new games are dissapointing?

The conference was very badly paced, but the content wasn't poor. It's only poor if you don't give a shit about games that Japanese actually want.

You REALLY can't imagine why people are disappointed? Look at your list and what it is missing. The big games/exclusives people have been waiting for and ANYTHING 2014. A third of that list won't even leave Japan.

I'm pretty sure this is true also for the west, those games have an hardcore audience and they would buy the Vita to play it.

if the Vita had massive japan ips, it would be a bigger sucess with western japanese games fans.

But even like that, who said it should be exclusive to the vita. It will still sell better on Vita in japan, as we can see with PS3/Vita games that are selling more and more on Vita, proportionally.

It's pretty simple in Japan, the Vita is the one replacing the PS3, not the PS4.

Yeah, guys ...

This game is gorgeous as fuck. Like, one of the cooler looking PS4 games. The HD cartoon style is awesome.

And personally, I'm excited about an action game instead of more stale turn based DQ stuff. I'll be on board for DQXI, but this looks great.

Imagine if they put this kind of effort into a FF musou. Holy shit.

That DQ trailer made me go from tears of happiness to tears on indifference.

Still happy, Ys will make it to america and Persona 5 coming to PS4 solves some problems for me.
