what's the point?? Sony doing a party today and have many preview time...also the last year Sony don't have a keynote...also microsoft don't have a conference too...

thePatriot5679d ago

dont care about conference, as long as we get our 9 un-annaunced games.

I'm afraid this news is about the Thailand Game Show 2008 which is abbreviated as TGS 2008 too, lol.

Official page (in Thai language): http://www.tgs.in.th/

AND SEE THIS (LOGO):

beneath the GAMEKYO logo, it clearly states 'LIVE FROM TOKYO GAME SHOW'

I don't know I think this is a bad idea! Microsoft has been doing better in Japan recently and if they announce something big they could take Japan away from Sony. I think sony should at least hold a conference, even if they don't announce anything new, just to show gamers of Japan that PS3 is still the console (360 vs. PS3) to get.

Joeymp i hope this is just you phrasing it badly otherwise you are sad, because when you said "if they announce something big they could take Japan away from Sony." you make it sound like Sony has Japan, like they are leading in sales, no, Wii is they havnt been beat in sales there yet. So i hope you are just phrasing it badly.

Parapraxis5679d ago

shingo is correct and there IS a Sony conference @ Tokyo Game Show.
Eamon, looks like you should be calling yourself the retard.

bluecapone5680d ago

Beast_Master5679d ago

They are having a coccktail party I heard, I think they are saying they are unveiling at different venue than at TGS I am not sure.

KillahCam5679d ago

I don't care about games that come out in Japan anyway so who cares!

Voozi5679d ago

Then why post here lol...

Daver5679d ago

hmmm a lot of people care....

Mozilla895679d ago

Cause major games that come out in Japan will also come out here. Not everything is announced at E3 you know. Maybe not having a conference will mean they will let the games do the talking.

MainEv3nt 695679d ago

and arent the going to announce like 11 new games?

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
