Oh so that's why.
Is there are reason for it?
Seems weird with them being a japanese company. They could have at least had some sort of nintendo direct

Was playing Destiny too much so didn't pay a ton of attention but the videos from final fantasy, Bloodborne, metal gear, etc were fantastic. Love that EDF is Hitting the Ps4. Wanted to see more from Persona 5 but oh well.
The ps4 is poised to have a hysteric year in 2015. Going to be a mind blowing mountain of software my wallet will never be ready for. Going to be a lot of fantastic games that bomb unfortunately

The bad: Capcom, no DMC5.
I pretty much think Capcom is struggling now because E3 and TGS were both abysmal showings...

My takeaways: MGSV did it right, focusing on the various gameplay subsystems and giving tons of information about the game.
FFXV did it wrong. We got a trailer, but still have little/no idea how the actual combat works or any of the gameplay. We just know it's an open world rpg, which is a genre, not gameplay details.
Everything else was standard TGS.

That was an overstatement, but I definitely think that Japan seems to be getting together much faster than they did during the previous gen. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Certainly the best TGS in quite a few years. Admittedly, that's not saying much, since TGS in the previous few years were absolutely terrible. But yeah, new gen means new games, and that's not an exception for Japan.

Actually I think that comparing this year's TGS to the horrible 2013 edition does not automatically render the last one a good show.
There has been a distinctive lack of new titles announced, not to mention big surprises nowhere to be found.
A pretty weak show in which the best/most interesting games are usually in development since a long time (see FFXV/MGSV) and with several notable missing games (The Last Guardian, Scalebound, Gravity Rush 2, Kingdom Hearts 2, Phantom Dust, just to name few...).
In the end the status of the japanese industry is not that much different from what we perceived in recent years and I don't see how one could consider this TGS a good signal.

They most certainly have not. Not yet, anyway.
What happen to this:

Did the announcement get pushed back or was there a mistranslation? Did shinobi ever know anything or based his tweet on what the GAFer translated.

Yup, for me FFXV hype was immediately almost dumped out by the news that Triad Wars (the Sleeping Dogs thing) is now this "Persistent Online" PC only crap.
Give us a proper sequel. Pork bun man deserves it.
Nintendo never attended TGS, even before internet was widespread enough.

Let's see...
The Good
- Final Fantasy XV looks like it's coming along nicely
- MGS V also looks like it's coming along very well
- Bloodborne looks amazing
- Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN is showing how to do HD2D for next gen.
The OK:
- Deep Down update was minor
- Tekken 7 New Character
The Bad:
- No SNKP titles shown... KOF, Sam Sho, Fatal Fury, Metal Slug, something!!!
- DOA 5 Last Round is clearly a cash grab... the game doesnt look like it deserves to be on a next gen console.
- No major title announcements for JP.

GAF>Internet>GAF.
You can't trust a rubbish site that do stuff like quoting people off Twitter or whatsoever. Maybe the title being teased just isn't ready to be shown yet...and people should really take all these vague teases from "insiders" with just a slight pinch of salt. I'll believe it when I see it. Not interested in vague "oh yes"s, "um hmm"s, "looks interesting" posts.
Go big or go bust.
Was honestly surprised at all the great news 
!
Great:
-We got SOMETHING for Persona 5! Pre-TGS show trailer was nice 
-New Ys game (really enjoyed Ys:MoC on my Vita)
-Final Fantasy XV being a REAL game now....with a demo coming soon no less XD!
-Dragon Quest Heroes (looks to be a lot of fun)
-Hyrule Warriors DLC announced (MM Pack......Skull Kid, Happy Mask Salesmen and FD Link coming?)
-Vita got games! Square bring its mobile games to the platform and Pre-TGS show had most if not all of its games also coming to Vita
-Type 0 HD and KH 2.5 Remix are shaping up really well (the fact they are coming so soon is even better news)
Good:
-Clock Tower spirtal sequel coming (man, what a great announcement :'))
-JP Indie scene apparently growing? (I think so, from what I heard online at least)
Bad:
-No news on a number of games (KH3, Gravity Rush 2, TLG)
Overall killer show.

It was mediocre at best. We got a nice trailer for FF XV but I don't care about their editing skills at this point, this game is way past teasing and promising, I want a launch date or at the very least a launch window. MGS V same thing. No concrete Persona 5 info or gameplay. No tales of game on the PS4. Nothing on Tekken 7. Capcom showed an obligatory trailer on DD without a date. Nothing on past franchises like DMC and Dragons Dogma. Silent Hills looks to be at the concept stage. And Type-0 at this point is charity. I was also secretly waiting for a Dark Souls 2 port with the DLCs on the PS4.
Bloodborne was cool.

Nintendo Directs are superior to space world, Nintendo just needs to do a lot more of them.

Metal Gear Solid V, Final Fantasy XV and Bloodborne were the highlights. Best TGS in a very long time.

It was a far better conference than it has been in years, but the lack of P5 news is odd. I mean, I expected us to get other characters revealed at the least.

FFXV and Bloodborne were so god tier. 10/10 for TGS.

Lots of wonderful news and info for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy XV. Tales news, Etrian Odysssey Untold II news, Persona 4 Dancing All Night news, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2: Break Record, D4 release (though arguable bad news because I can't afford an XB1 right now and I need D4), a bunch of other nice miscellaneous game news that I can't specifically recall right now (but will be kicking myself for forgetting once I do remember) etc. As for bad, I wouldn't put Persona 5 not having gameplay in bad. Getting that animated trailer from the pre-TGS Sony conference was enough to tide me over for a bit. That pre-TGS conference also had Ys and Disgaea 5 which was awesome. But the lack of Gravity Rush 2 was disappointing
.
(and lack of The Last Guardian, but we saw that coming)

Loved what I saw from MGSV and Bloodborne. That was enough to make it a great event for me.

No Danganronpa 3 
Other than that, not bad.

My one major gripe with TGS this year (unlike the TGSs of many years ago) is that there were BARELY any new games. Almost everything they showed, we knew of beforehand. Gamescom and E3 have far more reveals than TGS and that is surprising for me because I'd expect at least the top Japanese devs and publishers to reveal more in such a show.
To me they're not outta the doghousr. Once DQVII and X get western localization that SE redeemed themselves. Only thr Square part looked good at TGS.

Updates wise, it was brilliant. One thing is for sure, there's a great selection of upcoming Japanese titles that are coming to *consoles* for a change, and it has been a while since I last felt that at TGS. I know mobile and handheld devices got the most attention probably, but still, the games on show for consoles were fantastic and at the forefront IMO.
