I just wanna get more info on the Gundam game they announced last year. Here's hoping! All aboard pre/TGS hype train!
 
The phrase "big Japanese games" doesn't have that weight it used to hold unfortunately.

Well, we don't know how his sources may have positioned it, but the word 'big Japanese game' from a western media perspective is very different to that of the Japanese media.

Western media will look at Phantasy Star/Yakuza and scoff it off because it's not 'big' to them, for one. (Sorry if this made-up image offends those in that line of work )

He specifically said Japanese gamers and fans of Japanese games should be excited. And he's not media.

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus
Persona 4 Dancing All Night
Danganronpa: Another Episode
Sen no Kiseki II
Disgaea 5.

Will be pretty satisfied by these as a bare minimum.
 
This is make of break time for home consoles in Japan. Sony MUST have a good show or they, like everyone else, are going to see a huge decline in home console sales.

1. is guaranteed
2. might turn up though iirc Sony did say the conference was focusing on PS4. Atlus has said that we are going to get news on something we have waited for (persona 5/P4D).
3.Highly doubt it but it was teased last year right?
4.This has already been announced
5. Likely since NIS is showing a PS4 and has hinted at D5.
 
I wish Toyama would give a hint about whether or not he'll be there. I keep checking his Twitter and he's just been streaming from his PS4 for the past few hours.

I'm a bit apprehensive as to the state of Gravity Rush 2 right now - a year's silence will do that. All I need is some closure, and I hope we get it on Monday.

Another Episode is actually getting released towards the end of September.

Most likely not gonna be localized but still will be interesting to hear about: the KanColle (Kantai Collection) they teased during last year's Vita sizzle reel. Could potentially do a lot in Japan.

Looking forward to that One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 trailer as well.

Most wanted but highly not possible: Valkyria Chronicles 4 for PS4/Vita.

I wonder were all that "weight" went.

We always got one SO per generation since SNES, so don't say this kind of thing
At least let me hope

SE has changed.

Forget the Vita. VC4 on PS4 with that art style would be a dream. Valkyria Chronicles was my favourite jrpg of last gen alongside Demons Souls. I do wonder what that team Sakura Wars, Skies and VC) in SEGA is doing now.

So is it the actual conference streaming tonight at 11pst/2est, or some kind of pre-show leading into the conference at a later time?

A bit confused by the differing thread title and YT screenshot
 
I guess I'll give it a shot. It'll be 8am that's where I actually planned on getting up.
I don't quite remember it but was this the same conference we had last year with the huh translator-san?

Was it really? They worked with them before, and Yoshida outright said that the Souls franchise was his favourite of past gen behind Journey. If there was an opportunity and agreement, I don't think Yosp/SCE would hesitate to purchase the From outright.

Platinum and Sony relations are weird. I say, SCEJ x Capcom.

Platinum and Square are with MS. Namco and Sega are with Ninty. Capcom is the missing link.

I don't expect jack shit from capcom other than Deep down, but I'm really wanting to know what Itsuno is up to, would love him to get back and do DMC5. Dragon's Dogma 2 is unlikely anytime soon probably because of deep down. I have no idea how dmc 4 sold ps3 vs 360, but capcom and sony doing some sort of collaboration to get dmc 5 done and exclusive ps4 doesn't seem impossible. Doubtful sure. Edit: Has it been said what Itsuno is up to or if he's somehow on Deep Down (don't know much about who's working on this tbh)? I haven't heard anything from Itsuno since he said he wants to do a dragon's dogma sequel and work on dmc and rival schools again.

I'm just talking about the future and what Itsuno would be doing. I don't expect that to be shown here one bit.

Sony needs to blow their Japanese load on Monday if they want PS4 to succeed. They can't afford to hold anything back like they have before. Go big or go home.

Would be nice
But I feel like they are looking to a slim+ffxv relaunch already
