It'll be a repeat of the nothingness that was the time between e3 2011 and e3 2013 if we don't get anything by e3 2015 right?

Seriously nothing since then other than a few seconds or am I forgetting something?

That would be truly something.



Hey his segment in this conference was awful. But just in the grand scheme of things, KojiPro is doing great stuff. They had the cool E3 trailer, the 30 minute gameplay demonstration later on, and then the Gamescom gameplay.

I will confess I just want to see more Fultons.

Also, wouldn't a DQ game that worked like Monster Hunter sell even better though? I wonder if it has some of those elements in there? I did see pretty giant monsters but don't know if they are bosses or not.

The Monster Hunter model is unproven on consoles for any game not named Monster Hunter.

There's a reason why Capcom moved the franchise over to handheld, and why they aren't even bothering with WiiU console ports.

"First they came for history, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a historian.

Then they came for the anime, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not an otaku.

Then they came for the games—
and there was no one left to speak for me."

when was the last time they tried though? I mean, have they really made an effort to get MH established in the west? Didn't Dragon's Dogma do well over here?

Last time I saw MH on consoles was an HD remaster on PS3 and Ultimate on Wii. If they actually release a MH with full-blown visuals and a story-line I don't see how it won't perform well.

The series is so popular on handhelds, I get it, just don't see why it hasn't been expanded on yet.

Destiny, Borderlands, Warframe, these are basically different takes on the Phantasy Star Online formula which is kinda the original Monster Hunter formula. I think co-op is universally appealing, and MH is no exception to this. If MH had a SP JRPG aspect to it, I think it would sell just as well in the west, even on consoles.

This is part wishful thinking on my part, but I truly do think Capcom is just wasting a perfect good opportunity. I mean, DD kinda already proved that the formula can work, and work well. I think the west just plays online more and local co-op is not appealing in the slightest. So you have to have a portion of the game that you can play by yourself, and then go online to team-up.

They way Destiny works where you always have to be online but can go off by yourself would work well for a MH games.

my friend...learn to read, this isn't the TGS 2014 conference...
Click to expand...

I have read. This is the only conference that sony is doing for TGS. Ergo, this is the TGS conference.

Whether more titles are announced later is immaterial. This conference has dented alot of my faith in the PS4 not being the 360 of this generation in Japan.

I don't even like many japanese franchises and I still am questioning my purchase right now.

Was expecting a possible price cut along with the announcements but they're likely saving that for XV like they did with XIII.

Consider it Sony recognizing what their home audience is interested in for VR content? You'd have to expect an Idolmaster VR, too.
The conference might have missed the 2-5 things people wanted to see most (varying by person) but it did its job of being dedicated to trying to sell the thing in Japan. Hard. Rather, as Sony put it, "additional penetration".

Youtube should have it up since live streams on it archive automatically after a stream is done.

wait what? So if more games are announced later in September they are irrelevant? I don't understand?

And you say you don't like Japanese franchises so are you really a good judge of what will actually sell the PS4 in Japan?

I'm simply not sure I even understand what you want. Gravity Rush? TLG? FF15? KH3? Tekken? Deep Down? Because all those games are in Development for PS4, it's just a matter of when the fook they are going to be ready.

I wouldn't expect a price drop this early, way too early. Maybe when XV comes out, yeah. I'm not counting on that though.

By promising more consistent news after e3 2013 and not getting any sort of shit other than a few seconds and some comments like "development is going well"?

I also noticed at the end of the conference, the president of Sony Japan said let's meet again at TGS. Maybe they have another game or two up their sleeves?

They need more work on next platform especially it changes to multi-platform, just like FF13 that we have to wait 360 version ready.
Click to expand...
But wasn't the game originally planned as multiplatform? Or was it snatched out of exclusivity thus being a tad troubled development-wise now?

If Kagari-sama would just stop being such a tease and spill the beans :p

You are jumping into defence force mode without even reading what was said. So it is actually you my friend that needs to improve your reading skills.

It was FFXIII versus PS3 exclusive. Now it is PS4 and xbone title with name changed.

first time buyers, no ps3 no vita, only have time for 1 platform, only have money for one platform, other ps4 exclusives, destiny (a ps4 exclusive in japan), upcoming games, etc.?

you are missing common sense and a reality check.

Hope you're right. Lord knows the other two consoles aren't going to generate any interest in Japan. I'm just not convinced we've seen the line up that's going to turn this ship around.
