nope;

19th TGS opening keynote, nothing to do with any company or product announcement.
18th Sony's conference for Asian press. presumably they announce date/price for eastern Asia which we might not even see in media/livestream at all. don't expect any new announcement there.

Umm no on the 19th they have the Tokyo Game Show keynote which usually includes more announcements although it's not a gaming conference.
Also during TGS other companies could make further announcements.
I think it's obvious that announcements from Clap Hanz and Level 5 must be coming.

 

[BadWolf]

Didn't watch the conference because it was at 2AM here but looking at the announcements and the number of them I would say it was a pretty solid showing, better than Gamescom.

"The presentation, which for now is being referred to as "The World PlayStation 4 Creates," is scheduled to take place on Sept. 19, the first day of this year's TGS. SCE president Andrew House will host the keynote alongside senior vice president Masayasu Ito and Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida."

TLG reveal with an online component plz.

Also with all the tease from demonite, I'm fully expecting demon souls 2 there

 

[Pooya]

Yes it does. The keynote is even titled "The World Playstation 4 Creates". Where are you getting your info from? Certainly not Sony.

the opening keynote for TGS is generally about the industry even if some company holds it, doesn't mean they announce product there. yeah there was one year when Microsoft hold it and they had somethings after the speech, similar thing for Sony, but if you tihnk they'll be announcing games there after this conference then prepare to be disappointed as you can tell from @kazamtsuri tweets...

 

[Gskyace]

Finally back home today...
I'll rate a 4.5/5 for the conference today.
gamescom 4/5 E3 5/5

 

[robertsan21]

so is the next conference live streamed and if so where and at what time?

 

[Zoe]

Just realized there was no Toro announcement

Dude, the company that does the keynotes promotes there products. Its happened almost every time.

 

[Callibretto]

So do we have news of how gamer in japan respond for this press conf? Satisfied? Disappointed? Mad at ps4 delay? How's the opinion about vitatv? Vita 2.0 and all

 

[kenji_sama]

At least we may get some game announcements on Famitsu.

I think Wonder Flick is everything they have for PS4.

 

[KiTA]

Any word on if we're getting that TVita micro-console here in the US? I could finally justify a Vita and P4 Golden if I knew I could also be playing it the ol' big screen, too.

 

[Tiops]

The reactions in the pages where Vita TV was announced are glorious. It's a shame I couldn't see it live.

Now I'm even more hyped for TGS.

 

[wrowa]

Level-5 just had its anual conference, they won't announce any new games for awhile. At least no self-published games -- and if Sony is once again funding one of their projects, they'd have announced it today, if the reveal was planned to take place any time soon.

Nintendo unveiled the Wii remote at a TGS keynote and reportedly the Japanese business side of the TGS was rather angry at them, since the keynote is not supposed to be an instrument for a company's announcements. So, I'm not sure if Sony would do anything like that...

Not really, if you have noticed today's conference was about japanese third party developers.
First and second party japanese games were totally absent (except for Knack ) and a developer like Clap Hanz is totally unlikely not to be able to announce a Hot Shot Golf game for PS4 at this stage...
They also said that announcements would be split between today and TGS, so it's likely that a few titles are being kept as a surprise for TGS.
We'll see of course, fortunately there are only 10 days left.

might be old rumors for some here, but still interesting...

 

[Freaky Fred]

This was honestly one of the best conferences I've seen. New vita model, hilarious trailer translations(knack lady killed me), deep down exclusive, that heartless ffx/x-2 tease, and then my man Andy House dropping vitaTV bombs in fluent Japanese. Completely worth staying up til 4am to watch.

 

[Liabe Brave]

New EDF on PS4? Fuck yeah! I imagine it was just an announcement and no footage or anything?

Yeah, it was just a logo. But...EDF!

Yes, he's said this before when people have asked him about surprises at different shows. He's mentioned that it wouldn't be a surprise if they told you before it was announced.

Sony once again hide most their First-party games is quite obvious.You can bet Clap hanz has something for PS4 and it will launch early. Also, over my body 2 for vita will very likely be properly showed this time, while it's a no mention on 9/9 conference(Hintfficial site has a countdown atm)

And idk you know what you're talking. Nintendo never attend TGS, you never see a nintendo keynote at tgs, I'm sorry.

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Things I want from this conference.

• PS Vita news like new colors or a "budget" model.
• PS4 Japanese release date.
• Some type of attachment for the Vita that uses that port on the top right.
• That's it.

I got three of the items... sort of. I wish the new one were a "budget" model for customers.

I'm kind of shocked NEOGAF hasn't talked more about Level 5's game Wonderflick.

Hi, we are actively talking about the surprised game with Level 5 at TGS next week. which being The much anticipated sequel for Dark Cloud.

 

[Racer1977]

Seeing how quickly Sony glossed over the WWS output, with the focus on hardware and 3rd party launch titles (in the main), TGS is set-up for 1st part reveals with a view to Q3/4 '14.

I collected all the Demon's Souls 2 related rumors, just for the hell of it.

Verendus confirmed that the Demon's Souls 2 rumors are true:

Are the rumours about Demons Souls 2 coming to Ps4 true?

Yes. When it appears, whether with a new name or not, it'll be obvious what it is.

It's so obvious that Miyazaki isn't directing Dark Souls 2 because he is working on Demon's Souls 2 for PS4.

So obv.

Last bit of info then. I know you're being sarcastic, but Demon's Souls 2 is in development.

famousmortimer is further strengthening the theory:

I'll just lay this out and that will be that.

I heard two sets of rumors, months ago. They had to do with the same 3 games.


Set 1:

Final Fantasy Versus was turning into FFXV, sony was trying to get it as an exclusive.

Kingdom Hearts 3 was coming, sony was trying to get it as an exclusive.

Miyazaki and a team from FROM Software were working on a new IP, a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls.

Online play going behind PS+


Set 2:

FF versus was turning into FFXV, sony was helping develop it, PS4 exclusive.

KH3 was coming, PS4 exclusive.

From making Demon's Souls 2.

Online play remaining free


So, obviously, Set 2 is a bit more than half wrong. Versus did become XV, but it wasn't developed by Sony and isn't exclusive. KH3 is coming, not PS4 exclusive. Online play isn't free.

So that leaves Demon's Souls 2. Given the difference between these two sources I'm going to personally believe the rumor in set one, not set two. But, that said, a name is a pretty easy thing to change. They could easily have begun as Demon's Souls 2 and changed the name to something new... or vice-versa, to give the game a higher profile when it's announced. But one thing seems certain in these dueling rumors... Miyazaki and a team at FROM are making something that is either Demon's Souls 2 or something that is very much like it.

I don't know any of this to be fact. I don't know anyone at FROM. I don't know anyone at Sony working with them. This is just me aggregating two separate rumors that have passed through my end of the world. Which leads me to my prior post. What we know for certain is that Miyazaki isn't working on Dark Souls 2. There is a team inside FROM with an unannounced project.... and Miyazaki and Sony have been tight for three generations now.

DemonNite also somehow hinting at it:

This is 'the' Demon's Souls 2 that has been teased?
Mmm... I can take it. But please, announce a true Demon's Souls 2.

patience my dear gaffer

Jeff Cannata and Dan Trachtenberg got hinted behind closed doors at E3 that a next-gen Demon's Souls is in the works:

Jeff Cannata: He also seemed to sort of sideways say that there’s like “Demon’s Souls” sequel that will be next-gen.
Dan Trachtenberg: Yeah, he did say that.
Jeff Cannata: He was making great pains for us not to think that but I think that it was exactly what he was saying.
Dan Trachtenberg: Sounds like he was committed to next-gen “Demons Souls 2.”

Shuhei Yoshida also somewhat wants a new Demon's Souls:

I asked Yoshida if Demon's Souls is a franchise that could join series like Killzone, Gran Turismo and Uncharted as a multi-PlayStation platform — and if Sony would consider developing a sequel without From Software as the primary developer.
"That's a great question, but because of the attention that will get, I choose not to answer," Yoshida said. "But personally, I love Demon's Souls. I spent hours and hours and hours [playing it]."
"I love the team, I love the game and yeah, I'd really like to see more. But that's all that I will say."

 

[Zoe]

It sounds weird to make a new IP that would be a spiritual successor when that describes Dark Souls.

 

[AgentChris]

Sounds like SCE might want a new title for this game to elevate it above Demon's Souls / Dark Souls status.

Imagine after all this smoke, there is no fire. There is no 'Demon's Souls 2'. That would really suck, wouldn't it? I imagine there is always that doubt in the back of the mind waiting to be alleviated. In a way, I think these 'leaks' can be detrimental. Just because some people get more anxious.

I haven't even played a Souls games. I should really get to that some day.
