I doubt "big" announcements/reveals on games like that will come at this point, but TGS is not over.

Holy shit, White Knight looks amazing. Actually, the majority of these games look amazing, and not just graphically.

New Metal Gear Solid 4 Screen:

Harvest Moon Heroes Preview (talks about how he doesn't want HM to become work with the Wii controller):
http://tgs.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3153798

Super Swing Golf Pangya Interview (confirms Ryu is also playable [in addition to Kasumi] as well as traditional controls as an option):

Yakuza 2 Preview:
http://www.gamespot.com/events/tgs2006/story.html?sid=6158300&pid=935326

Crisis Core: FFVII Preview (pretty much reconfirms that is an aRPG and describes that there is a combo system of some sort):
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3153908&did=1

Rachet & Clank PSP Preview (Same demo as E3, but with a new Boss):
http://psp.ign.com/articles/734/734354p1.html

Ape Escape Racer Preview (It's like Mario Kart for PSP):
http://psp.ign.com/articles/734/734284p1.html

Jeanne d'Arc Preview (it's awesome):
http://psp.ign.com/articles/734/734630p1.html

PaRapper the Rapper Preview (basically what we know, it's the first game with the new multi-player additions):
http://psp.ign.com/articles/734/734357p1.html

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (confirms that it is basically MH2 on PSP and IGN says online has been removed?):
http://psp.ign.com/articles/734/734738p1.html

Gunpey Reverse DS/PSP Previews (Superior touch-screen controls FTW!):
http://ds.ign.com/articles/734/734254p1.html

Tales of the World PSP/Tales of the Tempest DS Preview (It's Tales of on the go):
http://ds.ign.com/articles/734/734482p1.html
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3153948 (Parish talks about TotT some more, no load times, etc.)

70+ New SNK vs. Capcom CFC Screens:
http://www.gamespot.com/ds/puzzle/snkvscapcomcardfightersds/screenindex.html

It's a Wonderful World Preview (I made a topic for this eariler, still can't figure out how this will play well, sounds interesting though):
http://ds.ign.com/articles/734/734389p1.html

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker Preview (seems like the visuals really impress, IGN also says it's a fully freeroaming 3D camera here):
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3153945

Front Mission 1st Preview (seems like this is also a port, Parish doesn't talk about additions):
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3153946

I mostly concentrated on the platforms we didn't have much for on the front page (there are tons of next-generation previews I didn't post). Still looking for impressions of Metal Gear Solid PO, Ace Combat X, Lunar Knights, Luminous Arc, Gyakuten Saiban 4, and that Naruto GNT-like Fighter in the portable realm as well.

" Amidst all the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 hands-on impressions and high-resolution videos, Gamasutra sat in on a Q&A session with Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney during TGS, where he discussed the difficulties and benefits of working with the PlayStation 3 hardware, how game development will change in the future and his enthusiasm for Sony's "enlightened business model" when it comes to online gaming.

Sony's approach will enable Epic Games to grant fans access to create their own content for Unreal Tournament 2007 using Epic Games-released development tools and distribute them to PlayStation 3 users. Nothing like this has been attempted on consoles before because it wrestles control over content from the publishers, but Sweeny says he "would love to transfer this mod community over to the console platforms."

One of the key differences between online gaming in the PC space and the console world is the interaction between the gamer and the game itself. On the PC, developers typically release tools that open up entire communities to creating modifications, ranging from a new character to full-scale conversions of gameplay and assets. Previously, this hasn't been possible on consoles.

Microsoft has started taken steps towards this issue with the release of their XNA tools, but this limits fans to developing their own games, not producing additional content for existing releases. Considering how shooter-oriented the Xbox machines are, it's a little disheartening for the hardcore, and with the advent of microtransactions, it's a little difficult to remove cynicism that Microsoft simply doesn't want to take away from potential profit.

Even Sweeny agrees Microsoft hasn't been easy to negotiate with on the issue. "Unfortunately it's [Xbox Live] more of a closed platform," and says they've even been "quite negative toward user-created content."

If Sony's gamble is successful, we could see an interesting balance between user-created content and developer-driven, more polished, purchasable releases. The model works on the PC -- why else do you think companies are able to sell expansion packs while users continue to crank out their own content? The question is whether Microsoft will end up following suit."

I was, until I saw more of it. Seems to be a trend. Now it still appears to be a glorified tech demo, the "Feel the Magic" of the Wii launch if you will.



Right, but see all those 2007 games? 2008 games? PS3 isn't out yet, and I already know so much about the amazing software in the pipeline. Nintendo has done exactly zero to show what i should be anticipating, outside of yet MORE games in the same old franchises they make and maybe a Squareenix FF:CC sequel.

Ah sweet, sweet denial, why dont you take a few deep breaths and calm down for a moment before you spew some more insane gibberish? Nintendo is currently running laps around Sony and yet you refuse to admit it. Take a hint Amir0x, everyone in here is making fun of you.

wow, if this is denial it's the best denial ever. It's ok, Azure, Nintendo needs to shape the **** up for Wii and they haven't yet. I'm sure they'll still deliver in the end though.

Stop it. Please.

Anyway, after looking back at the OP, one really realizes the massive disparity of news in favour of the PS3. Guess it really was that console's time to shine.:)

Apparently, price drop is limited to Japan.

Possibility of European price drop, but don't count on it.

Not useless to me. What it means is that essentially the PS3 got a 100 dollar price drop since the 20gb pack is no longer retard :D

I'd expect an official press release from Sony about an all-region price drop. At this point it would be foolish just to do one territory- and choosing the territory that would buy the higher price without a fuss anyway just doesn't make sense.
The US and EU are where the real battles will be fought- and Sony's gonna want to push systems past launch as furiously as they can to catch up with MS. Dropping the prices in March/April would be a massive kick to the balls of roughly 2 million consumers that bought a PS3 @ launch. @_@


...oh... and where in the hell is the FFXIII and FFvsXIII media? ****in' Square-Enix...

Regardless, from what I can tell, this TGS they were rather DS-centric.

There is an extended FFXIII trailer and, from what I heard, one for FFvsXIII as well.

They just haven't been made readily available to the public... -_-

I don't know, man... MS got ****ing SLAMMED by the Japanese press over the price of the X360. I don't think they're that big spenders anymore.
