PlayStation Japan’s Press Conference Liked by 58,7% of Japanese Audience; 22.1% Didn’t Like it

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia held its press conference on the 1st, and they impressed many with a whole lot of titles, especially for the PS4, but how did the Japanese audience like it? the majority did, but a sizable percentage wasn't as pleased.

[Snookies12]

Honestly I was bored with it until they started dropping bombs near the end. Like Disgaea, Persona, Ys and Dragon Quest...

[Abriael]

I actually liked a lot almost all of it, but the new president has a lot less presence than Kawano did.

[cleft5]

I can see how the press conference would be liked in Japan. Obviously it didn't have enough flash for a western press conference but considering recent events in Japan a low key press conference like this makes sense.

[mikeslemonade]

Doesn't matter if they don't like it. Clearly the Japanese video game audience has bad taste. I suggest they start catering somewhere else.

The problem is you make DS and Wii1 type games you will neglect the rest of the world. The World>Japan, simple right?

[HeartlessGamer]

Same here it was putting me to sleep but when they started showing Japanese games I was wide awake

[HeWhoWalks]

That was the idea. Knock out all the Western stuff first, then close out with what the Japanese want. It wasn't meant to be an entertainment show for Western audiences.

[HentaiMasterRace]

Needs more Vita that's why, they barely care for consoles. nowadays.

[BitbyDeath]

Can't please everyone, some were saying there was too much Vita.

[jujubee88]

wth are you talking about?

[BitbyDeath]

They announced 20+ games for Vita at the conference, the first part of the conference was taken up with nothing but Vita, places like Neogaf were saying it was too much and they wanted PS4 content to be shown.

Did you watch it?

[ShadowWolf712]

lol the same crowd whining about how Sony hates the Vita and laughing cuz the Vita was "dead"?

They're just mad it hurt their meme.

[paul-p1988]

Can never have too much Vita, I love mine, and after the farce that was Gamescom a few weeks before where the Vita was treated like a ginger stepchild it needed the attention it deserved!

Now if only they would announce that God Eater 2: Rage Burst will be coming to the West...

[nodim]

Neogaf are not japanese, that's just silly mentioning them in this topic. Only two more or less strong new exclusive games has been announced for Vita (Samurai and Luminous Arc), other traditionally portable games are forced to go multiplat and it has taken less than a quarter of the show.
Of course they are not pleased when the most popular playstation device in Japan today is handled like that.

[Beetey]

It got more Vita than all of the other conferences combined.

[DonDon]

Still that isn't saying much though.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I figured that's why the whole first portion of the show was Vita...

[nodim]

Less than a quarter of the show for the most popular ps device of the year in japan and only two not-so-big new exclusives. GJ, Sony.
Now imagine if vita is on stage for 45 minutes at E3 with ps4 taking up the remaining 15. That's pretty much what happened for japanese gamers, it's stupid to apply neogaf logic to them.

[eferreira]

they spent 45 min on vita

[nodim]

22 min*
Did you watch the show?

[KillaManiac]

I just hope they didnt announce too much stuff at this pre-event to cause their actual conference to look boring and bad.

They really did announce alot.

[OUROSMAG]

The pre conference is the conference, the stream on the 17th is something entirely different. It was drummed up to steal some of MS's thunder for the show cause of their launch.

[llxKonanxll]

I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. It got me hyped up enough to get an imported White/Lime Green Vita 2000 model imported from Japan. They're games looked really interesting and i hope they make western releases really soon.

[hkgamer]

i know its your decision and your preference but you may regret getting a lime green handheld.

ive decided to only buy white or black, because when i look back at some of the consoles or handheld colours i have purchased i always think, wth was i thinking back then.

but thats just me.

[llxKonanxll]

It's white on the face, lime green on the back. I personally think it looks great. I was getting bored of having black everything. That's just me.

Was a little bored when they were showing all of the Western titles at first for the PS4, but then it became the best conference of the year for me when they started showing the JRPGs, Y's, Persona 5, Disgaea 5 and Dragon Quest Heroes coming to the PS4 was all great.

[hkgamer]

was good news that they showed japanese. developers were on oard with the ps4. though i would have liked to see less cross gen as well as more sony studios games.

[Protagonist]

I was quite surprised at how much love the Vita got, concidering they said in beforehand it would be all about the PS4.

But there´s yet another upcoming press conference and I guess it will be even more PS4 focused for the asian market.

[HentaiMasterRace]

Wouldn't mind more Vita announcements though.

[Protagonist]

Me neither, them execs at Playstation need to get it through their skull, that the Vita is their product and that they need to promote and support it as much as possible.

[SoapShoes]

They said TGS would be all about PS4 though...

[Rimeskeem]

That's pretty good if you ask me.

[TheGamez100]

How can you not like it? It was all about games games games with cool new announcements.

[dcj0524]

I adore it when people claim there was too much VITA. It's hypocrisy in it's finest form.

[Inception]

Lol agreed. Everyday i always seen comments about "vita is dead" because sony doesn't care about vita and didn't give enough spotlight for the platform on E3 and Gamescom. But when sony did it than this people talked like vita is a cancer and doesn't deserve the attention. So, what the f*ck is exactly this people want???

[DualWielding]

I think the Japanese did not like that they threw in games like Destiny or Tomorrow Children who are clearly not appealing to the Japanese's tastes
