Some interesting info from Dengeki Playstation 20th Anniversary interviews and early Famitsu stuff:

Square Enix: (Akitoshi Kawazu):
Currently preparing a new Saga title. Special info coming soon!

Square Enix: (Matomu Toriyama):
Preparation is currently underway for a brand new title.

Nippon Ichi Software (Shinkawa Sohei):
If Disgaea 5 doesn't sell as planned then we might not still be in business the year after. Even though Bloodborne is now releasing the same day, we really hope people will pick up both titles at once.

Koei:
Currently progressing well in development for new things related to Kagerou: Dark Illusion (Deception in the West)

Capcom (Hiroyuki Kobayashi):
Lots of project announcements happening in 2015 for Sengoku Basara's 10th Anniversaray. Look forward to it!

Falcom:
New game announcement coming soon. Will not be from the Kiseki or Ys series.

Atlus (Shoji Meguro):
We have some other unannounced games that aren't Persona 5.
Atlus (Kazuhisa Wada):
We've added a big new artist for Persona 4 Dancing

Spike-Chunsoft (Kotaro Uchikoshi):
Lots of titles to be announced next year and the year after

Spike-Chunsoft (Kodaka Kazutaka):
I'm currently working on a title that will be a huge surprise.

Spike-Chunsoft (Yoshinori Terasawa):
We are currently making proper preparations for the new Danganronpa title.

B.B. Studio (Terada Takanobu):
We are currently developing the Super Robot Z Series Final Chapter and the Third Dimension Z Heaven Chapter.

SCEJ (Keiichiro Toyama):
This is from the Gravity Rush team that hasn't released any information in a long time, but the game is progressing well. All the time it's taking just means the game we are making is going to be amazing, so please look forward to it.
Fumito Ueda (The Last Guardian dude~):
The Last Guardian has had lots of growing pains, but talks with SCE management have all been cleared and development is currently underway in a different environment (PS4 move most likely). I'm also working on other things.
.

Capcom (Hideaki Itsuno):
We have a number of games in development. One of them will be announced soon.

Capcom (Minaeu Matsukawa):
We're hoping to let everyone know and play a new game we currently have in development in 2015.

Level 5 (President & the Time Travelers Director guy):
Not just satisfied with the massive success of Youkai Watch and hoping to keep creating new big games. Hoping to bring some in 2015.

It also looks like MGSV will be Playstation exclusive in Japan.

Copy bump.

I'm not sure if these are all supposed to be 2015 things or just end of year interviews about PlayStation in general.

If the thread needs retitling just tell me what it should be instead.

To the surprise of no one, if true. Fully expect the same to happen with FF, KH etc.

Wow. That's pretty surprising considering that the Fox Engine was created, in part, to develop multi-platform games. Interesting!
The Xbox One has LTD sales of 41,562 in Japan and sold 1,175 units last week during the holidays, so this shouldn't be too surprising for any game honestly.

I wouldn't consider this a direction shift. Just that the platform is completely dead in the region.

BELIEVE!

Oh my. So this being 20th anniversary announcements means we can expect these games for PS4/Vita?

Because I'm gonna flip my shit over a new console SaGa game

Curious to know what Sega's up to after Yakuza 0.

Also, we still have Cygames working on a PS4 game and Cyberconnect2's huge announcement.

Yeah, fair enough. Agreed to your last point, as well. I guess "surprising" was poor word choice on my part, but personally, I didn't see it coming. Don't have a problem with it, though!

BELIEVE!

Ueda will only realease the game when everyone believes! It's interesting to note that Ueda was there for the PSX convention. That seems to give credence to some rumors that TLG was actually planned on being unveiled before being pulled last minute?

Cygames lead guy just tweeted that he went to Shueisha today.

Hoping and expecting a Naruto PS4 game announcement at Jump Fiesta :)
 
DanganRonpa 3!

I'm hoping for great stuff from all these announcements. Except Sengoku Basara because I'm not too fussed about that.

Maybe a Vita game or two in between all the PS4 announcements, at the very least

(Who am I kidding? :( )

Well, P4D and P5 are going to be out next year, and Atlus has already confirmed they're working on a game to be released three years from now. It could be P Studio, still. They also explicitly mentioned Catherine and Dragon's Crown in regards to the form of new IP Atlus is working on (so not a spin-off, but something completely new).

I love Team Ico games as much as the next guy but I am so sick of hearing about this game.

I wish they'd just ask Fumito "When is the absolute latest you will finish this game?" and if he's like 'Spring 2017' then so be it. At least there won't be any lack of communication or unknown presence of the game anymore.

zeromcd73 can you add "Zero Escape's director" to Spike Chunsoft's section? Fans of 999 and VLR might be interested to know this.

Level 5 (President & the Time Travelers Director guy): Not just satisfied with the massive success of Youkai Watch and hoping to keep creating new big games. Hoping to bring some in 2015.

I just roll my eyes every time I see Last Guardian mentioned at this point.

Looking forward to seeing Gravity Rush PS4 though.

Ooooo looking forward to Spike Chunsoft announcement! It's too optimistic to hope for a ZE3 announcement but maybe some news of progress.
