Being fair with this year TGS, is that there were a lot of more announcements than I expected (at least localization wise)
Offtopic: Hey Derrick, I bought GTAV because of you... Just hope you didn't end hating it as Dishonored (Oh my buyer remorse)
It wierds me out how people keep talking about KH3 like it will have any effect in the near future. The game is still waaaaaaaay off with nothing to show for it, and Nomura is still working on FFXV (which isn't close to release). FF13 Versus was announced with more information than KH3, and we saw how that went.
I understand KH3 is BIG, but the game has to actually get made before it will do anything for Square.
Virgil is a former WWF wrestler who makes his rounds doing conventions. This was taken at San Diego Comic Con, most likely during a lull period because the Sails Pavilion (where this was exactly taken) usually has a lot of people. He was there last year and had a small gathering but considering this is what he does for a living now, its pretty sad that he couldn't move on from wrestling.
where is the nintendo stand there ?
Nobody said Nomura hand develops his games, but he's the director of Kingdom Hearts 3. Him being occupied by another game which isn't close to release is another sign we're not getting KH3 any time soon.What is this obsession with Nomura, as if he hand develops all his games.
KH3 has its own team, separate from XV. The KH team is now the Osaka team (BBS).
Not happening. Japan hates FPS. Apparently a lot of Japanese get quite motion sick when playing them.
It got even worse than that actually
Nintendo doesn't go to TGS.
Let's hope the Japan indie scene kicks into life next gen.
it's all Nintendo fault.
Some selective bs going on here. TGS looked packed everywhere. Obviously no one will attend a booth with no games or a hall with no booths.
Its amazing how far they are going to try and spin it though. Truly remarkable and pathetic.

FFXV and MGSV... Both games are running on PC hardware, but there's no announcement for them yet. I wonder if it's because they don't want to take any steam away from consoles just yet.
Nevermind the fact that the majority of people who attended considered this TGS below mediocre. You're also being selective with your picture. If you read the article you'll notice they said the only other booth bigger than GREE's was Sony's
They're still games that visitors were excited about. I don't see people downplaying the hugely positive reception Squeenix got at E3.Deep Down and Titanfall... 2 western focused games. Good job trying to make a point though.
Who in thier right mind would compare tgs with gamescom anyway?
We all knew this would be lower key. If in 2 years it's like this then you can react poorly.
- Even as a pale shadow of its former self, TGS blew Gamescom away in my mind. Yakuza, Lily Bergamo, Phantasy Star Nova, Reborn and the trailers/info we got on previously announced games--it wasn't bad, it just wasn't what people wanted, which was frankly E3 part 2. (IE: All the stuff we got PLUS New trailers for FFXV and KH3, Persona 5, a new Tales game, DMC5, and something new from every notable Japanese publisher. It would've been nice, but frankly the bar was set waaaaaaay too high.)
Atlus will save us.
Except for Nintendo and Capcom apparently
A company selling a ten year old game for full retail price and a company with a next gen flagship game that's free to play - yeah, I'm out.
Man, the gaming industry is drying up faster in Japan than even their fertility rates.
In 2015/2016 there will be topics all over the internet asking has the release date been announced for XV/KHIII yet.When they will eventually release in 2015/2016
But who will save Atlus?
This is such a joke.
Sony, Capcom, Sega, Microsoft, Namco Bandai all had HUGE booths with tons of demo stations, which were mostly slammed the entire time even on the business days (which each had a record 30000+ people. The public days each had well over 100000 people). Sony alone literally had well into the hundreds, and it wouldn't surprise me if the others did as well. This isn't even getting to Gung Ho, Arc System Works, Square Enix etcetc.
The game has changed, but TGS is generating more hype than ever among the media and public Iin Japan. Funny how something dying is managing to set attendance records every year.
This just has to be him hanging out after a event.
Nobody said Nomura hand develops his games, but he's the director of Kingdom Hearts 3. Him being occupied by another game which isn't close to release is another sign we're not getting KH3 any time soon.
Even if his role is minimal, the fact that KH3 is nothing more than a name right now is reason enough to not consider it a factor in Square's profits in the near future.

Ah, man. That's made me miserable as shit.
