Maybe it's unannounced to them, you know, the press?
They have a slot reserved for 'game X', doesn't mean that it couldn't be Bloodborne.

Bloodborne 2: Miyazaki's revenge coming out soon.

you really think a live conference isn't planned WELL in advance, and then rehearsed and whatnot?
Sony can change very ... very ... very small things, but nothing major.
I really think Sony is missing the boat though. There is a large JRPG fanbase in Japan and the US that is just dying for a competitor to Final Fantasy, which is really the only real high budget .. graphically superior JRPG FRANCHISE still being made. If Sony can just put together a strong overall title, they would sell millions of copies just by default.

It wouldn't surprise me if that second one turned out to be Until Dawn since they've released multiple teasers for it.
The Sony Japan game is a big mystery. I'd love for it to be Gravity Rush 2, but Toyama isn't giving any hints about being in Germany. I know that Japan Studio just opened their own Niconico channel, so it looks like they're prepping some bigger stuff soon.

But why would a press have a 30 minute extensive hands off look at a game that's playable on the show floor, for both publication review and general attendees?
I know you're just trying to keep expectations in check, but it seems pretty clear it's a new title. But once again, I don't think it's gonna be on the same scale as Bloodborne, since it's digital.
This is what I'm thinking. 30min is considerable demo time after all and Bloodborne is one title that could provide that.
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just suggesting the idea that it might be a simple error in translation or interpretation.

The cameraman didn't rehearse though, that means there's time to improv and Sony can sneak another Paint-produced slide in there if MS try dropping a bomb.
Also, if MS announce GTA6 exclusivity first, Scott Rodhe is going to ride in on a scooter and top it.

Ahh boo. That's probably it. Forgot that was already leaked. It would also make sense to have an extended demo of a move(and possibly morpheus) game.
As for GR2, man, the fallout from Vita fans would not be pretty if that's the case. I'm expecting Type-0 levels of butthurt for GR2.
Would call it leak, if Sony themselves are hinting it?
Potential Big Announcements
Media Molecule New IP
Guerilla Games New IP
Sony London New IP
Sony Japan New IP
Stellar Announcements
Sony Bend PSN game
Giant Sparrow PSN game
Gravity Rush 2 for PS4/Vita
Beyond Directors Cut
Journey PS4
Until Dawn
Move game from Zindagi
I reckon we will get no big announcements and 5 stellar announcements as well as more on games we know about like Rime.

During a live Q&A, i asked about that jp ps4 game, to the editor chief of everyeye.it ( italian site )
His answer was a bit vague, but long story short:
- he doesn't know exactly what it is
- new ip
- probably from japan studio
- not AAA but digital download game
the recorded q&a ( in italian obviously)
my question's around 01.00

I expect PS4/Vita for GR2.

But Until Dawn was also supposed to be 'playable' on the showfloor as well, if the original leaks were anything to go by.

Yeah, TGS was pretty cool. Too bad we havent seen anything from the new Gundam Game or EDF so far.
I've a feeling that we will see some cool Games, i don't care if they are Indie, Triple A, Free to Play or whatever. Games are Games. Also excited to try out Bloodborne
Right. TGS was pretty good last year and truth be told I am looking forward to it a more than gamescom but I still expect several nice things to come out of gamescom.
Hype increasing rapidly. About the JP game:
Why does he mention FFXV all of a sudden......it has to be SCEJ's JRPG.....omg please

Maybe it's Kill Strain.
Jimmyfenix

That sounds like Guerilla's game i think.
Guerrilla Cambridge?
Because I still hold out hope for some kind of epic RPG from the main Guerrilla team. Kill Strain sounds like a shooter/survival game.
Jimmyfenix
Member
Oh yeah Cambridge is making a PS4 game as well totally forgot about that. I can see them taking over the KZ franchise while the main Guerrilla team works on their new IP.
Too soon I think.
I'm going with.
Kill Strain = Japanese game
The Hungry Horde = Media Molecule.

TGS is going to be really interesting this year, imo. Less so on Sony, but more so on the stance of 3rd-parties on PS4.
The expectation last year was that Japan was duly unprepared for next-gen transition, thus we're seeing the results of nogaems for PS4 in Japan in 2014. But we know devs have been flirting, and there have been preliminary/early work on some titles, unannounced as well as those announced last year.
IMO, this TGS will be the make/break for PS4 in terms of how much momentum they can regain until FFXV releases.

Makes sense. Afaik Ueda is working on it still and didn't ever really leave, so there is hope.

Day 1 pre order bonus = TLG skins for knack at participating retailers.

Damn pre-show hype threads. Now all excited about a JRPG.
I swear to god if it doesn't come to fruition im going to boycott these threads.

Too early. Don't forget they've started their new project a few months ago (after Killzone: M).
The KILL STRAIN tradmark is a few weeks old. You normall do that when your game is near completion (or in the beta phase). Not at the beginning of the development stage.
So it can't be Cabridge's game.
At TGS maybe.
Not at Gamescom.

Right. This will be a big indication of how much third party support the PS4 has coming in the next year.
We know Falcom, NIS and GUST all have PS4 titles in dev. NIS said their title will be revealed at TGS and I'm suspecting its Disgaea 5.

it`s a wild guess...but weren`t FFXV and TLG always prime candidates for those
"wonder wich will come out first" jokes/memes in the last couple of years?
Maybe it´s a subtile hint...
gash, why i`m doing this to myself...

They already released the Game of the Year Edition on day one! I hope he appears in Bloodborne as a boss.
Wonder Witch 2 is coming out in October, WiiU only.

Witch will be cool i guess! ;-)

In the leaked gameplay trailer it showed the chosen undead fighting this lightning enemy which looks liked big knack.
Nah it's not. Killzone is already a shit name, surely they wouldn't be so stupid as to go for Kill Strain. It's just a trademark anyway, doesn't mean it'll ever come to fruition. They do have a domain name registered for it though.
The Hungry Horde sounds like some small PSN title, maybe even crazy enough to be whatever this Japanese title is. Million Ways sounds dreamy so I'll go for MM on this one.

I think you're underestimating BEND.
As far as I know the studio is about the size or even bigger than Sucker Punch.

Looking forward to a lot of new things from Gamescom. Bloodbourne is at the top of that list.
Nope, they're more comparable to Media Molecule. Around 50 I think.
Acquiescence

Seriously. Just a few off-screen clips and hands-on impressions, it's all I need from this year's Gamescom.
Any announcements beside that are just gravy to me.
I don't have to imagine it because it will never happen.
You hear me Level-5? NEVER.

Isn't Until Dawn that PS Move game that was supposed to release on PS3? That game was announced like years ago. So I dont see how Until Dawn could be an unnannounced game, even if it is rebooted for PS4.
Wasn't it revealed with some Gameplay at like E3 several years ago? The game where you walk around in the dark with the flashlight, controlled with the Move Controller?
Is there a different Until Dawn?

The one Teaser Sony released was definitely for Until Dawn so I guess Sony will give us Until Dawn as a new announcement

When they made Uncharted: Golden Abyss(2011) they had a core team of 55 people and they outsourced a lot.*
Since then they grew in size, I guess.
*According to the Uncharted: GA Post Mortem:
