TGS is over...now we reflect....
- Thread starter sn00zer
- Start date
I don't know should I be sad or not....I guess I'll wait before deciding to import the JP one.

Being a foreigner attending TGS for the first time, I had a great time and I was able to play some demos and get some free loot with my crap Japanese. The main gripe I had is the lack of people asking cosplayers for pictures, unlike conventions in North America. Everybody took pictures of booth babes though.
Fantastic show this year, looking good.
FFXV looks amazing, Metal Gear looks great, BloodBorne looks awesome and FFType-0 looks way better than expected, Deep Down looking ok. Guilty Gear Xrd keeps rocking.
First trailer Persona 5 trailer after all these years, new Ys, Dragon Quest Heroes Surprise, Disgaea 5...
And then ton of new content in Japanese games in the different production value scales. New trailer of Zestiria, Shinning looking really good (pls Sega), Yakuza Zero looks interesting as well.
Really good, it could have been better of course (it always can go better), there are games and announcement that I missed, similar to some mentioned here (DMC 5, Gravity, etc). But it was really good, looking for lots of stuff here.

The good:
-FFXV trailer + Demo info
-MGSV trailer
-FF Type0 HD trailer
-Bloodborne trailer
-Persona 5 is also coming to PS4
The bad:
-No DMC5
-No MGR2
-No Gravity Rush 2
-No new Sony Japan JRPG
-No Scalebound trailer
Honestly, I thought we were definitely going to see MGR2 at TGS. And DMC5's absence made me worried about DMC's future. :/
If I had to rate the big gaming events this year, it would be Gamescom > TGS > E3.

I had practically no expectations so I was pleasantly surprised.
And PS4's Japanese line up makes me very happy.
Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts 3
Bloodborne
Final Fantasy Type-0
Dragon Quest Heroes
Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain
Silent Hills
Persona 5
Disgaea 5
Ys
All I need now is for Gran Turismo 7 and The Last Guardian to be announced. Namco to bring Tales of franchise over which I think they said they will and hope and pray for Dragon Quest XI. All that along with Sony's first party and I think I'm pretty much set for the generation in terms of Japanese content. And there will obviously be a lot more after those release.
Overall, awesome.

Call me when Team Ico, Team Silent and Kojima all release groundbreaking exclusives for the Playstation in a three month period.

I can't judge the conferences, didn't watch any, but the output has been awesome TBH:
- MGSV looks awesome. Better than the high expectations I already had.
- Bloodborne looks awesome too, and there's a Beta!
- FFXV looks way more alive than a week ago. There's a demo coming and the gameplay from the trailer was gorgeous.
- Persona 5 is coming to PS4.
- EDF 4.1 going for Pacific Rim.
- There's a new Ys, fuck yeah.
- Dragon Quest Heroes. I love Musou games, love DQ games, so yeah.
- Bladestorm is back, with dragons and shit.
It might all sound pretty random but that's exactly the kind of stuff I expect from TGS.

The great:
D4, potentially one of the greatest games of the year, was released.
D4 release alone redeemed TGS.

FF XV looks terrible to me so I can't that in the good. Same for Type 0. So I guess TGS was nothing for me this year. It was a non event really.

I didn't expect to see The Last Guardian, BUT COME THE FUCK ON, where is Gravity Rush 2? I can't believe it's still nowhere to be seen. Somebody needs to repeatedly kick Sony in the balls until they learn that it's never a good idea to show a game too early.
At least Square Enix, of all companies, managed to deliver.

It's still too raw for people to process. Once the dust settles, it will really hit home that one of the best of the games of the year was really released during TGS.
Good:
lots of gameplay...
bad:
...of already announced games
no big announcements
many big games missing
PS4 owners are starving for Japanese games and Bloodborne, FFXV and Type 0 are good so i understand why them think that this TGS was awesome but if looked with neutral eyes then this TGS was mediocre imo.

Let me give you this big bag of NOPE. PS2-era? We're barely early PS3-era right now. The only thing that's back is Square, and they couldn't get through the weekend without turning the release date of the demo into a giant mess.
The bad is that there were no big surprises there. Nice footage of already announced games, but nothing new coming from japan that's interesting. Japan still putting out what they said they were putting out over a year ago, what's being greenlit now and into the future? Mobile games?
Oh dam, I just cant wait for next year and beyond.
DQH isn't interesting? I dunno. I'm interested.
Personally, not to me. But then again I'm a bit burnt out of musou games right now.

Don't forget other games already announced
EDF PS4
Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
Bladestorm
Idolm@aster (only really just started dev)
there's not much new stuff to get excited by, maybe other than kojima's take on horror through silent hill. but the big games look really good (mgsv especially) and with the reduction of the number of big budget western games these days, that's all they need to go toe to toe with the west on consoles. basically it was good because the games look good, but it looks better now e3 starts more to resemble tgs last gen in impact.
This was a great TGS though. Maybe irrelevant to western gamers but lots of cool stuff shown that I'll be buying on day one.

Yeah, I'm in that boat too.
I don't believe B games (budgetwise) are irrelevant. If anything, last gen didn't have enough of these. It's nice to know there's still some room for games between indies and AAA.
You're right, it had completely slipped my mind and that looks awesome. I guess I kind of wrote it off because I don't own an Xbox One yet.
edit: and I kind of did the same with D4. That looks great too.
Much better than e3. TGS showed the games that i will buy and play. I really dont care much for fps/tps games.
-FFXV gameplay -- Must buy
-FF Type-0 - Will buy, not at $60
-MGS5 -- Day 1
-Bloodborne - I am in 100%. This one is going to be the time sink.
-Lots of 3DS/Vita games -- Yay, I am very happy. TGS Wins hands down. This is the final smack down.

Eh not even close.
This TGS is actually the reason for my PS4 purchase. The western line up has nothing interests me, aside from D3.

Very happy with PS4's JP support.
Only disappointment was no GR2
This is not a "fixed" bullshit, just made that to make my point
It´s not about "the war" in fact, FFXV and Type-0 are multi, MGSV too. The big news of this TGS for Japanese gamers fans, and why some of us are making a big deal of it, it´s a somewhat focus in home console Japanese games that has not be seen in years. And even for already announced games, it was rare to see new stuff at TGS, while this year we had ton of new gameplay and trailers for expected games.
And then there has been quite a lot of content in the middle-ground for consoles and handhelds, which is pretty nice.
So I don't believe it´s about neutrality, it´s about that the TGS this year has offered something we have not seen for a long time.
That is not going to change the opinion of anyone thinking it was a meh event, far from my intention. But I think it explains why the show was exciting for many.
I don't know which games you are talking about that have not been revealed and shown before. I am looking at current gen titles and all I see is Japan continuing to be a sad state of affairs.

The game will probably be awesome though

Can someone tell what was shown for the PSVita? The bad being "Japan only", is that a reference to games being catered mostly to the Japense audience or no localization? If it's the former, I don't see a problem with it tbh. :\
Can you blame Microsoft? They've tried twice and bombed both times. If I was them at this point, I wouldn't spend much money on Japan since it's losing money without future investment to pick up.

Did they list what's included in Metal Gear Collection?
