Insert longing to see more from FFXV/KHIII here :(

Or for that matter ANYTHING on current gen consoles or 3DS/Vita. Curtain call is good and all but it's barely even a 'new' title.

Lara Croft could well be great, but that's not from their japanese development houses, right?

And FFXIV... well there's that.

Oh ffs, going through the list I read Dragon Quest VII twice.

At least I can look forward to Curtain Call, Lara Croft and 2.5 HD Remix.
 
DRAGON QUEST TM VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

DRAGON QUEST TM IV: Chapters of the Chosen

What about the 3DS games?

Feels like they are surviving mostly on re-releases of previous hits on mobile... that can't float them forever.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that a mobile bubble burst would be an excellent thing for the games industry. What should have set off a chain reaction of innovation has instead given us rehashes and freemium imitations of our favorite franchises. For every angry birds we get 50 Dragon Crystal Town Builders

Yeah, nothing above my expectations... which were set on the lowest, but again i think we will be lucky if we see FFXV/KH3 on this year TGS.
 
I no longer expect FFXV at anything, so something like this can't hurt me anymore... My hopes were just too shattered at TGS 2013, and then E3 2014 to ever expect it ever again.

Funny how at last year's E3 they said from then on we would get regular updates on FFXV and that they would be at every major gaming event to show it off.

Radio silence since.

We can assume things aren't going rosy.

Yeah...sad thing is I wasnt even expecting FFXV/KH3. I was right to do so.

KH3 I can understand somewhat not being there, as it seems still early in development, though it seems more has been shown for it than FFXV so far... or at least more regularly.

FFXV on the otherhand...been in development for just too long, we havent seen anything for over a year...again, and this was after they said "We'll be giving more updates more regularly", yeah sure...

Still a chance they'd talk about it/show something outside of this list right? Not that I'm still hopeful, still doubt it'll be there, just confirming.

Well to me it was pretty obvious that we won't see FFXV until TGS after the E3 skip announcement :(.

Tabata tweeted that they're preparing FFXV for TGS if I'm not mistaken.
