three in a couple of years is more than your regular FIFA 20XX.

Ideally they would have been staggered to follow closer to the JPN timetable, but Sega...

 

[Nirolak]

That's a pretty good line up, is this just for Atlus or all of Sega?

Total War, Sonic, and Yakuza are all from the Sega branch.

 

[Weltall Zero]

Oooh, 13 Sentinels, awesome! Just yesterday I was wondering if the game had been lost in limbo!

 

[Nirolak]

I keep forgetting that Sega bought Atlus. Shin Megami Tensei and Sonic are owned by the same company.

Weird.

Almost all the major Japanese publishers are merged entities.

Bandai Namco
Koei Tecmo
Sega Atlus
Konami Hudson
Square Enix (Eidos Taito)

Only Capcom is still standalone compared to its start. I guess we could include Level-5 in that list at this point, but they're a relatively new entity.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Dat glorious Yakuza milking, keep releasing them and I'll keep buying them Sega.

 

[Thoraxes]

Damn, and I'm basically purchasing almost everything on that list, too.

Good lineup.

 

[Soltype]

Total War, Sonic, and Yakuza are all from the Sega branch.

Kind of figured as much , but was hoping there was more.

 

[dreamfall]

So much hype for Yakuza 6!

 

[Peroroncino]

Games:

• Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
• Yakuza Kiwami

 

[IrishNinja]

Out of all those games definitely looking forward to Yakuza 6 the most.

same, but hyped for sonic mania too!

 

[sixteen-bit]

looking forward to 13 sentinels footage

 

[KarmaCow]

Did EOV have a demo on the eshop like EO4 did?

 

[mrmickfran]

That's actually a really nice lineup.

SEGA's coming back.

 

[muteki]

Yakuza, Sentinels, and Sonic, yay.

Guess this is not the proper venue for any new persona spinoffs.

 

[kamineko]

I guess Switch support will be discussed at TGS or not. I don't really want to play Strange Journey on my 3ds. Not port begging per se, I think an SJ port for 3DS is a good thing (any way to get more MegaTen out into the world is net positive for me), just hoping the stellar 3DS support from Atlus is carried forward at some point.

More Yakuza is always beautiful tho

 

[Ventara]

Pretty strong line-up. Can easily see myself owning at least 6 of those titles in the future.

 

[Xiao Hu]

Almost all the major Japanese publishers are merged entities.

Bandai Namco
Koei Tecmo
Sega Atlus
Konami Hudson
Square Enix (Eidos Taito)

I wouldn't really call Sega/Atlus and Konami/Hudson merged entities. Both Atlus and Hudson were acquired and are not equal/minor partners in these relationships, plus if I remember correctly Atlus still enjoys a lot of freedom from Sega.

That being said I wonder how long Capcom can remain independent. Fanfiction: In case they don't get acquired by a Korean/Chinese company, a merger with Sega would be neat. I want to see both companies more proactive and prominent. The rest of the Japanese publishers simply don't do much for me.

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

Here's the real question...

where is ROCK OF AGE 2?

Hudson was largely gutted, yes, but the Atlus acquisition is pretty equivalent to Square Enix buying Eidos.

Bandai Namco also seemed to have split responsibilities and command chains for the longest time.

 

[Maligna]

I am still baffled that everything is supposed to be voiced now. That's incredible.

Shenmue did it in 1999. The amount of voice lines in that game and especially part 2 is probably on par with modern RPGs.

True. Mainly comes from their previous business areas since Bandai is a toymaker/publishing house for manga/anime. Enix also brought in a publishing segment when they merged with Square, I guess they still manage it even though that branch has also been renamed into SE if I remember correctly.

 

[mas8705]

Another year with no PSO... Shame.

At least Yakuza will be nice.

 

[night814]

Nice

Eternally hoping for a PSO2 localization tho

 

[syncyes]

Yakuza and Etrian Odyssey <3

 

[Mar Nosso]

I see no new and proper Shining game in there. I tune out.

Edit: SEGA, Fire Emblem needs competition. You can provide it in spades if you assign the right people to this incredible franchise. Get to work.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

SEGA live and die on Atlus games (which in my brain, I never really associate as "SEGA" games, honestly), Sonic games (which I definitely do) and Yakuza (which is easily the best thing SEGA Japan make nowadays, no competition there) nowadays.

Fingers crossed for Shenmue HD as well though.

 

[DJIzana]

All I care about is Yakuza 6 and Project Re: Fantasy (Re: Fantasy obviously won't be there) or any new game announcements. Hopefully they'll announce something new on Sony's stage and, hopefully, it'll involve something with Phantasy Star!

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Excited to see more of Sentinels.

 

[RiderKairuu]

I can't wait for Kiwami and 6!

 

[-shadow-]

Bayonetta 3 surprise reveal, I can feel it in my bones!

Spoiler

Solid line up actually!

 

[CrimsonFist]

There was a minor bit of new (or at least that I hadn't heard before) info about 13 Sentinels in that PR too:

From a bleak story about 13 heroes and their mechs in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

 

[Xeteh]

Where is Persona 5 Arena: Dancing All Night?

 

[Xiao Hu]

Where is Persona 5 Arena: Dancing All Night?

A Sega All Stars Brawler with Persona characters would be dope

 

[LAM09]

Excited about Yakuza

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Not bad. Sega atlus is one of those company mergers I was all for because I've always held them both in high regard. Glad to see this line up.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Games:

• Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
• Yakuza Kiwami

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

All I care about is Sonic Mania.

 

[Luckydog]

No shining force from Sega is a fail! /s

 

[Funyarinpa]

Where's Persona 5 PC? Lol.

If this happens GAF chooses my avatar for the next month

Spoiler

Hint: it won't happen. It will never happen.

;_;

 

[Acquiescence]

Yakuza 6 baby! Absolutely loving 0 right now, so I'm excited to see what big shake-ups to the formula the new graphics engine brings.

Plus Beat Takeshi.

 

[Aters]

Almost all the major Japanese publishers are merged entities.

Bandai Namco
Koei Tecmo
Sega Atlus
Konami Hudson
Square Enix (Eidos Taito)

Capcom Level 5

Make it happen! L5 can teach Capcom how to make money, Capcom can teach L5 how to make game.

 

[dragonflys545]

Yassssss yakuzaaa

 

[jimmygnome9]

EOV game of the show, baby.

I'm also super excited to finally see 13 Sentinels.

 

[Shin]

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
Yakuza Kiwami
Sonic Forces
Sonic Mania

In order of importance to me, Sega doing good business (they have so many IP's I wished they'd reboot).

 

[the_sun_king]

I know some of y'all are playin', but in all seriousness, anything new Persona related will probably be revealed on August 2 when Atlus has their next Persona live concert.

 

[lavarock]

Pretty exciting lineup, although wish Sega/Atlus would announce some new game or even revisiting some buried IPs.

Spoiler

Virtua fighter 6 and Persona 2 remake?

 

[CertifiedFP]

lol, Valkyria Revolution completely absent.

Sent Out To Die CONFIRMED.

Spoiler

Good riddance to bad trash.

 

[Bishop89]

Yakuza yes!!!!!

 

[Epcott]

I guess MegaTen Switch will more than likely show up at TGS. Oh well, more Yakuza is a wonderful thing.

 

[Galang]

Excited to hear more about 13 sentinels!!
