Sony Announces PlayStation Livestream Schedule and Links For Tokyo Game Show

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia just announced its livestream schedule and relevant links for Tokyo Game Show, and it's indeed a quite rich program.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

I'm ready! Can't wait! There are going to be some surprises, that's for sure.

[LOGICWINS]

I cant even fathom that Sony has even MORE surprises. They've knocked it out of the park four conferences in a row and theres more?! Talk about goin HAM lol.

[viveks86]

Especially when Shuhei Yoshida says there would be no surprises, there have to be surprises. He is such a master troll! :D

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I have to mark this.

[Goku781]

H.A.M, that's funny, but I agree! lol

[Thunderhawkxbox]

Yeah will be more indie games or more about ps vita tv lol

[PixelKnot]

Making fun of the PS4 for being indie-friendly is one of the lamest excuses to mock the system.

If Xbox One's indie support drastically improves with Microsoft's newly established self publish policies, would you call it IndieBox One?

[Magicite]

SONY IS BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK!

[nosferatuzodd]

indeed

[slimeybrainboy]

More, more and more please.

[Batzi]

Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain? Gran Turismo 2?

[Abriael]

Haha, just woke up, it shows :D Fixed.

[PositiveEmotions]

But what day sony is gonna have their conference at the tgs

[Abriael]

On the 19th, and there's no livestream announced on that one. From the title it doesn't seem like an "announcement" press conference, but it's more a retrospective like the ones held by Mark Cerny.

[PositiveEmotions]

Well lets hope its live because all the sony conference has been live so lets hope so.

[Abriael]

Doubtful. Sony itself livestreams press conferences in which they're going to make announcements. This one doesn't seem to be the case. It's probably going to appear on Youtube afterwards though.

[sinncross]

Ive been to tgs the past 2 years and what the article is detailing is not new announcements.

These stage events are announced before hand and are used to promote upcoming games. This area is usually in front of where Sony has all its booths. Its basically a time for the devs (or someone related) of a game to talk about the game while they show off new footage.

i dont recall Sony ever making a new game announcement at this stage event. Mostly because it happens during TGS when ppl are actually lining up all over the place to play games. Its far too noisy and crowded to effectively announce a new game.
If something new does come, it comes from the conference on the 19th which currently has no live stream info.

[bligmerk]

All 3 events are going to have live stream but they are going to be on Nico Nico (Japanese). Apparently, some people think they will be picked up by twitch.tv and streams will be on different places but possibly all in Japanese. Kotaku and Eurogamer usually have a live blog of the keynote since they have somebody on staff that can translate.

"All the stage events at the Sony booth held on three different days will be livestreamed on Nico Nico. Here’s the schedule and relevant links:
September the 19th – Start at 10 AM Local Time (September the 18th, 9 PM EDT)
The World PlayStation 4 Creates
September the 21st - Start at 10 AM Local Time (September the 20th, 9 PM EDT)
September the 22nd - Start at 10 AM Local Time (September the 21st, 9 PM EDT)"

Thought that they weren't going to be streaming? Why they did the presentation which they did.

[Abriael]

This is livestreaming of stage events, that are focused on the games themselves, not a conference.

[GribbleGrunger]

Any news on a Ustream or Youtube stream?

[Abriael]

@GribbleGrunger: for the moment just nico nico is listed.

[GribbleGrunger]

Is there any way of watching Nico Nico without logging in?

[Abriael]

AFAIK some streams require login, some don't, but I don't see why you wouldn't want to login. Making an account is free, and you can do it via the English page if the language is the problem.

The one we heard they wouldn't be streaming is the press conference on the 18th. They have a keynote on 19th as well. No idea if that's being streamed or if it's only the game focused stage events. Looks like I'm going to stay awake through 3 nights at least! Curse you Sony, for your endless string of events! :D

[FlameHawk]

GIVE US THE LAST GUARDIAN!!!

[knifefight]

I hope we're not still saying this every E3 and TGS in, say, the year 2018. :( But I fear we might be....

[jhoward585]

True!

There's a good chance Sony might real the THE LAST GUARDIAN at TGS.

Its only fair...Sony had a few surprises for the American gaming audience at e3 2013.
So, I think Sony will do them same thing for the Japanese gaming audience and surprise them.

[Magicite]

launch title for PS6

[SoulSercher620]

Expect more surprises from Sony.

[Godmars290]

Not if they're pre-announced stage presentations. They're just giving live demonstrations.

[Abriael]

That's not necessarily true. While announcements during stage events are rarer, they do happen at Tokyo Game show, that is based on stage events more than any other industry trade show.

[BG11579]

I hope Sony will keep the good surprises coming.

[wingman32x]

More of a general TGS comment, but I hope we find out the fate of Atlus soon. This would be a good time to announce it considering the type of games the company makes. A lot of people think it's Kodakawa, but the longer it goes the more that feeling of a dark horse getting them creeps in.

[jspillen]

Give us 2 AAA Vita games to look forward to and we'll be estatic.

[tarbis]

I'm excited for Project Diva F 2nd. =D

[memots]

?

[Hicken]

Sequel to the Hatsune Miku game that just recently came out here in the west.

[jhoward585]

I can't wait to see more deep down game play footage.

[EXVirtual]

Please... Persona 5. PLEASE!

[SynestheticRoar]

Last Guardian ready. Bring it.

[DigitalRaptor]

The Last Guardian or Shenmue III for PS4.

Do it, Sony!

[Rimeskeem]

People who say that the ps4 is lame for having super indie friendly policies are stupid because well if thats the best reason you can give to not get the system then thats kind of lame

[GamePeace]

Dear Sony, now that you have become so strong, dont Show me the hairstyle of final Fantasy characters on the Screen, I want so see some real games now, not cool Teens with the help of friends with Driver license. My Impression of the vita is the console having almost otakku characters in almost every new announced vita game, stop this cult and get your inspirations elsewhere, If Kratos wasnt burning by Need for vengeance, he would posses ISANA style, boyz and gurlz. Thats the truth behind the Turkey...

[theinitialmender]

hatsune miku and blazblue <3

[strigoi814]

Livestream means there is something new to excite consumers, hopefully something jaw dropping shows up..

[PickAShoe]

My body is ready.
