The biggest difference this year was the amount of Social Dating Sims that Sony felt necessary to unveil at their press conference. The Morpheus tech demo they showed is pretty revealing (lol) about how different our cultures are. I mean would you rather see Doom 3 or up some anime girls skirt lol.

Sony Pre-TGS 2014 SCEJA Conference Verdict: Good, Bad or Ugly?
- Thread starter Sephiroth_GR_
- Start date
PS4 needs a system seller in Japan. Urgent.
Besides Dragon Quest Musou/Not-Musou (a crossgen title), I don't see any of that
So how can someone call it a good conference?
And you can't compare TGS with E3 and Gamescon, because the PS4 isn't selling like shit in this regions
And you can count Ys as an JRPG, but not Disgaea. I love the franchise, but it's a huge difference between JRPG and SRPG

Persona 5 instantly qualifies it as good.

My opinion? Fucking awesome, because it included an absolutely monstrous game that I'm now looking forward to buying a PS4 for. That game is Persona 5.
Pretty much this. In all the conferences that Sony has done since revealing the PS4, nothing has excited me more than this Persona 5 announcement.

There were good numbers of new titles shown, not sure what everyone was expecting. The show delivery was bad of course.
Will there be another TGS conference for Sony at the show or this was it?

This is it. The other Sony conference is targeted at Asian markets e.g Hong Kong/Taiwan/Singapore. More on localization for these countries (usually in Chinese)
GAFfers getting hyped for this conference are just gonna crash and burn themselves into the ground. There wouldn't be major announcements (not for you guys anyway)
considering we haven't heard about gravity rush 2, and also the other games from square enix, level 5, tales games etc... i am willing to believe we are not done with tgs announcements. maybe they are just spreading the information and not have everything drop on one day. I could turn out wrong but i think there is a good chance there is more to come.

during actual TGS, we will have developer interviews, gameplay footage, demo, trailer etc in each of publisher's booth. they're usually just more in depth info of games we already know about though and not a new announcement.
I would liked to have seen 1 or 2 more Sony projects and then a new RPG from Square. That would be like really my dream scenario. It's been so long since they did something new on console.
But other than that I thought it was really not bad. Obviously pacing is an issue but the announcements I will definitely take...

General conference is over. There's only show floor left.
Other conference is for games being localized in Chinese/Korean only.
I liked the way they went with the 44 game format. Gave us an idea of how much they are willing to show.
Loved the Vita portion, could care less for Western games boring us, while bombs being dropped with Ys, Disgaea 5, Estival Versus, Persona 5 for PS4 were great.

Which leads me to think that some of these publishers did not fully showcase their whole line up. I doubt Square would show up to TGS just to show Dragon Quest Musuo and Tomb Raider. I'm thinking there will be updates from the publishers' other game titles.

Had it been paced properly with a more loose atmosphere like an E3 conference and without the top-tier Japanese corporate politeness it would have come across a whole lot better. Most of the pieces were there but they were all jumbled or turned over. The last 45min were better once they actually got to the Japanese-made stuff. Some pretty legitimate megatons for fans of Japanese games. Dragon Quest will sell roughly 4.18 PS4s per capita in Japan and Waifu Simulator VR another 3.22 for a total of 7.4. Therefore we can say 950 million PS4s sold in Japan in the next two years confirmed.
Suffered from bi-polar disorder. The pacing was terrible but if you add it up it was a TON of announces. All the stuff displayed are Sony exclusives [in Japan, if not worldwide]. The "44" format was clever. Even if 80% of them are unappealing to any one person there were at least a few things everyone would have to say they were interested in. On the other hand there was 45min of Western game re-hashing. Ick. Shu dressed to impress but did not. Kojima is a bastard.
Most importantly, there were plenty of visuals to please enjoy and we heard countless times about Sony needing to penetrate. Also first-party release dates.

So wait this was a pre-TGS event right? Sort of a way to get out some of the fluff, while leaving room for other announcements at the actually show?
Not sure what all the fuss and disappointment is about, or do I have to much faith? Ahh well

Pretty disappointing, I actually fell asleep during the conference.
Still waiting for a convincing reason to buy a PS4 - don't have one yet.
Especially with them gouging Canada the way they're doing.

Wow man this came out of nowhere. Was there a Pre-TGS for Wii U and
?
Also just for confirmation, TGS is happening on sept 18th-21st right?
Could anyone also post brief coverage of what happened?
All I know is there's a Senran, God Eater, Persona 5 and Ys for PS4, was that it? Also lol, I doubt God Eater and Senran will be coming to US.

Another year of GAF expecting Japanese conference to be like Western conferences.
It's another culture. No doubt, what they shown, is a lot more enticing to the Japanese audience

The conference delivery was so mechanical but then so was the audience. I didn't hear any cheer or clap. Is this how the Japanese culture is? Compared to the western conf, where everyone is clapping cheering, it was really awkward to even watch from home. There was no enthusiasm from any one.

Ya know, there was that one moment where you see the SE logo appear, then a trailer for what you think it may be? And you're like, noooo. Nooooo. And then you see the characters on screen and you're like, "Are you fucking kidding me? New Dragon Warrior?" And we see the whole thing unfold and it was just a weird experience. Talk about a strange tease.
The Ys announcement got me pumped. Completely out of no where. I knew the moment the music kicked in and you see Adol. Man that was so good.
The conference as a whole was okay. Much better than their previous years.

We have got the Summer Lesson Trailer translated into English.
I think people are going to be disappointed regardless of what Sony showed.
People crying foul about how most of the games are on PS3 and Vita, well guess what? so are the majority of western games coming out within the next year. Plenty of PS4 and X1 releases getting PS3 and 360 versions as well!
Does that take anything away from the PS4? Not for me and maybe you whiners are happy playing the PS3 versions, but if I had the choice I'd prefer to play it on a high spec machine.

Agreed. Plenty of games I'll be buying if/when they get brought over.
Also, yeah, I really hope DQH is setting the stage for DQXI, even this cross-gen game looks quite nice.
It was also quite the pleasant surprise seeing Sony managed to get a whole bunch of games I didn't expect like P5 etc, getting surprise PS4 versions even if some of them are PS4/PS3 or PS4/Vita, it's a start.
Yeah, Persona 5 was definitely the big one for me. I was happy when it was announced, but a tad disappointed I couldn't play it on PS4. Not a problem anymore.
And even outside the new console announcement, we finally got a look at the setting and protagonist. I now have a proper image in my head when I try and picture what Persona 5 is. Which is nice.

-Persona 5 on Ps4 (plus trailer)
-DQ Heroes looks decent
-Disgaea is allways fun
-Release date for Bloodborne
As a conference it was terrible.
But considering that I was expecting the biggest announcement from TGS to be a new Ps4/Dualshock 4 color and some loli moe RPG for Vita, then as a pre TGS event this was decent

The problem for Sony is that it does nothing to help PS4 sales in Japan. Why would a country whose interest in consoles is obviously waning, buy or upgrade to a PS4 when they can hold on to their PS3 or Vita for most, if not all these games?
I don't know anything? I'm not the one claiming Tekken 7 is'nt made by the Tekken team when it is.
And for someone who apprantly knows something about tekken you seem to be uninformed here.
There was a three year gap between 4 and 5 arcades releases. Three year gap between the consoles releases as well.
There is a three year gab between Tekken 5's first arcade release with Tekken 6's arcade release. Of course Dark Resurrection came out in between.
There is a 4 year gap between Tekken 6 and Tag 2, but Tekken 6 had revisions in between that as well. With only another three year gap between the console releases. So nothing's really changed and it's business as usual. Tag 2 also has a new engine. They've been pretty timely especially for an HD series in Japan.
That was you're excuse for claiming the team must not be big because they can't pump out Tekkens, but they've been putting out Tekkens pretty consistently since 4.
Even when Tekken 7 was announced, Harada still said they were also working on Tekken Vs Street Fighter. He did'nt say another team was working on TvS or that for whatever reason the tekken team wasn't making Tekken 7. There's been no indication by anyone other then you honestly.
They also are using Unreal for 7 probably to get the titles out more easily.
So do you know about Tekken? It dosen't seem like it.

All the multiplatform and cross gen games didn't stop the PS4 in the USA and Europe.
It's important to have the largest possible userbase, espencially in such a market like Japan.

Hahaha this describes the conference perfectly. Well done..well done
Btw, what the hell is this game?
Is it the prequel to Dargon Quest?
Chaos Rings is a mobile franchise from Square Enix for iOS. They're bringing a prequel trilogy to the Vita.
I was making fun of Square for making their game title so hard to read that SCEJ named it Chros Rings instead of Chaos Rings.
Here's the box art, no wonder SCJE is confused whether that's an R or an A.

Thanks meat, err... I mean, mate. Really glad about God Eater, Senran and Persona 5 (PS4).
I'm normally a huge RE fan but I don't really have faith in capcom making RE:Rev 2 being that great of a game. I'll keep my expectations low, I don't want to set myself up for disappointment in the future.
