If this is the case then maybe they are using FEB 20th just for the PS4.

Godchild10204101d ago

That is a US/NA event. And this is a Japanese event. I don't really think they would show off new Japanese games at a US/NA event. Unless they are coming to the states as well, but how many new Japanese based games come to the states? I guess we will find out, right?

nvm (misread)

Aww, man that's 2am for me :(

DOMination-4101d ago (Edited 4101d ago )

The announcements in order, as far as I understand it (it's in Japanese)

* Phantasy Star Online 2 with silver Vita 19,800 Yen
* Toukiden by Tecmo Koei for PSP/Vita. Looks like hack n' slash
* Soul Sacrifice trailer
* Interview with Inafune.
* Seemed to be two versions of the game. One for 4900 Yen, and one 5900 Yen. Not sure what the difference was though
* Red Soul Sacrifice Vita with artwork on the back for 24,000 Yen
* Trailer for Valhalla Knights 3
* Some JRPG.. sadly the title was in Japanese. Doubt it will come to the west but it looked pretty decent.
* Gundam Breaker for Vita/PS3
* God Eater 2 trailer. Vita/PSP with "adhoc party" feature
* Interview with some producer guy from Namco Bandai about God Eater 2.
* God Eater Burst.. UMD Passport feature. No idea what that is.
* Dragons Crown by Atlus. A 2D side scrolling dungeon fighter w/rpg elements
* I think a price drop for Vita for 19,980 Yen. Not sure how much it was before though?
* The caption appears to show all models being the same price.
* FFX HD on Vita/PS3. Showed a brief video of Tidus and Yuna standing around. I guess this was just to say it was still in development. No release dates mentioned even though all the other games mentioned had one, even if it was just 2013. So I guess this won't be out until next year.

* MONTAGE!

And that's the end. Sorry if some parts were vague, but thats the best I could do.

@DOMination:

Nice! Thanks! Bubbled up

NewMonday4101d ago (Edited 4101d ago )

the new RPG is Legend of Heroes, this time in good looking 3D.

Sony must make these games come to the west, they are completely stupid if they let these games stay in Japan and wait for other publishers to do it. what makes it important is that few 3rd party games are made in the west for the Vita.

I should point out that the official website states, in Japanese, that it is a pre-recorded video. So its not a livestream as the description implies it is.

Either way, I expect some new games like the original PSV Heaven event provided. But how many of those will make there way to Japan is up in the air. Granted, I think Dokuro was first mentioned at the PSV Heaven event and that made it to the West, so definitely looking forward to this. Should be home from work when this starts. Cant wait

guitarded774101d ago

It's at 2am where I live... I think I'll just check back in the morning. I have work early, and an exam in data structures after that. If it were a PS4 announcement, I would go into work late and risk my GPA, but this is news I can get in the morning. Hope I wake up to something good... this week is gonna be awesome, especially if Sony start Monday off with a bang.

GribbleGrunger4101d ago

Well no matter how BIG the announcement today, it can't overshadow Wednesday, so there's a good chance it COULD be something significant so that it frees Wednesday up for all out PS4 news!

boldstarr4101d ago

i'm so exited
and i just can't hide it!! (dancing)

DOMination-4101d ago (Edited 4101d ago )

Exactly..This is everybody who owns a Vita's chance to preview possible upcoming games.

freezola754101d ago

Questions for you all: so is there a possibility that Home will be on the Vita at some point?

Would you utilize it?

What could we be seeing new to the Vita and what would you want?

Whatever it is I am super excited for it! Peace

GribbleGrunger4101d ago (Edited 4101d ago )

Yep, streamed through Gaikai! Unless they'll wait for HOME2 on the PS4 and stream that instead. Bubble SIR!

I was like, wait WHAT?!

PS4isKing_824101d ago

Sony is controlling the gaming news lately like a boss!!!!
I feel like I'm back in 2000 when ps2 news was everywhere you turned.

I knew kaz would get them back on track.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4101d ago (Edited 4101d ago )

Kaz will be on cnn next week. maybe. Sony should do shows like nintendo direct. Sony direct would be nice. Instead of always waiting for e3.

Shadow Flare4101d ago

Hopefully it will be like the last time Kaz was on CNN

Root4101d ago

I think they could just show a reel of Kaz GIF images then at the end have bullet points of whats new/coming out and we would be fine

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 13h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 3h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow4h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere18h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow4h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 15h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 13h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 13h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

22h ago
fsfsxii23h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno22h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
