GamePro: The 5 Biggest Disappointments at TGS

So it's been a week since the Tokyo Game Show mania, and GamePro have finally shrugged off their jet lag and picked out their favorite games. But in that week, the GamePro editors also did their fair share of bellyaching about what could've been at TGS 2007.

my moments were home delay, no mgs4 demo, and rumble wont come this year

People become outraged when injustice is blatant. Hardly anyone would be upset with what's truly fair. Fairness.

There is an outrage at the unfairness shown clearly from gaming "journalist professionals" and / or Companies who are desparately trying to unfairly and indecently preserve the life of the xbox360 through smoke & mirrors, fog, and other deceptions.

It won't be tolerated forever by everyone, and people will start to behave as that disgruntled Wii owner when they wake up and the deception comes to light. It might be painful on egoes of those who might've hastily rushed out to buy an xbox360 or a Wii because EGM and Gamepro and other gaming journalists told them to.

Afterwards, people don't feel good when they find out they've been had, and some will probably continue to try to defend themselves and their egos from getting bruised as a result. A handful will correct their mistakes and get back on track.

I am greatly disappointed at Gamepro & EGM and all other journalists because of what they've done this generation. (unethical).

Both EGM and Gamepro told you to buy a Wii. You mention crap games? Did you know that, about two months ago, Gamepro awarded the Wii in the games department? Do your research, and you'll see that Gamepro told you that the Wii gets a B grade for its games while the PS3 gets a C grade instead. How do you feel about Gamepro now? How about the frat boys at EGM?

It's very sad when the referees of the game have already pre-determined which team they want to see win and will go at tremendous lengths (even sacrificing integrity) to make sure that that team wins by making suspect calls on the field. Fans are booing and throwing bottles.

Hopefully, may the fastest runner win and win on merit rather than the alternative of frat boy journalists / referees having a go at one system in particular in order to ensure the success of their preferred systems that they secretly know is truly inferior.

I am actually pro Wii for what appears to be a gaming "revolution" in gaming themes - more PG and Disney type games rather than the horror and violent movies seen on the xbox360.

The PS3 is a perfect balance.

You said

"Did you know that, about two months ago...Gamepro told you that the Wii gets a B grade for its games while the PS3 gets a C grade instead."

Ummm... and? Two months ago, the PS3 had a giant bag of absolutely f*** all, and today it's barely any better. Warhawk and Heavenly sword do not, a varied games catalogue make. Even now the PS3 would barely muster greater than a C for anyone who isn't being f***ed with the fanboy stick (count you out). The Wii however had it's opening line up produce several innovative titles, not restricted to home title Wiisports.

If you genuinely think that Motorstorm, Resistance, Heavenly sword and Warhawk equal more than a C grade, you need your head checked kid. And I'm only putting motorstorm in there to appease you, because it certainly isn't a killer app in anyones unbaised mind.

secret just copies and pastes stuff. Thats all I've seen from him. And boy golly hes always spot on isn't he? :p

[SJL480]

neither introduced the usb powered humping receptacle for the fanboys. This was a major blow... or rather lack of a major blow ;)

[happygamer]

how come nin never shows up at tgs?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Nine Inch Nails... or Nintendo???

Because...I think I'd rather have Nine Inch Nails. I love that guy/band/watever you want to call it.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Home delay...

That's about it.

I can live without rumble...

But HOME...I NEED!

[Bnet343]

that's telling me you are a socially inept person with no friends.

[Lex Luthor]

Could not of said it better myself.

[tharealest]

sony better be keeping their "cards close to their chests"
and have a killer lineup ready cuz as insane as mgs4, killzone 2 and (most likely) little big planet are gonna be, it would definitely be much better for the jax and daxters, sly coopers, god of wars to be (hopefully) announced.. and (off topic) but "bully scholarship edition for wii and 360" ? wtf.. sony shouldve tried keeping that series exclusive, a sequel on ps3 would have been a killer ap for sure

[Nth RooCH]

I'd say one of my disappointments was MS showing Viva Pinata party animals in it's range. F***ing WHY? The game is a POS kiddy game with absolutely no merit. At least Viva Pinata had addictive gameplay and excellent graphics. This is just pathetic! I know you guys bought Rare out, but that doesn't mean you have to show their s***ty titles too, just show us when the next perfect dark and Banjo come out. Till then, keep 'em shelved.

[gunnerforlife]

heck E3 was downgraded but was still better than TGS

[wangdiddy82]

lol u see how they bash DMC4.. U know why the game is going to suck becasue its multi plat.. They should of put all there time on the ps3 version to make it a great game. They could have done a lot better job.. This game is going to bomb..

[timmyp53]

No Dead Rising 2 info for PS3/360.
No direct feed video of new Final Fantasy XIII trailer.
No info on The Getaway. (Eight Days has been scraped)

[[email protected]]

Don't forgot... the FFVII remake :'o(

[MK_Red]

Well, many have already cited that this year's TGS was disappointing and I seriously agree. But there are far more disappointments than GP's and some of them are worse.

[Morbius420]

And still no Shenmue3. I'd like to finish that fight.

[Apocalypse Shadow]

no FFVII remake
no rumble this year
no home this year
no white knight story demo on the japanese store so that i could get it.

no videos of 8 days,getaway,wardevil,shenmue3 ,ico sotc team's new game,the heavy rain team's new game.

no surprises from nintendo or microsoft.

no drop in price of ps2(everywhere) or ps3(europe-they need it)

as for devil may cry 4.it is what it is...no HIDEKI KAMIYA(creator of devil may cry1 with shinji makami),and it just isn't the same game.has nothing to do with multiplatform.it will have action,but it's like the new team is going out of their way to make dante look bad in the videos and get his @ss kicked liked they want to pass the torch to nero.

being a fan,that's a no go,even if dante is letting him.

but maybe the days ahead will bring some announcements.

Haven't heard much bad stuff about DMC 4 so I was surprised they called it the biggest disappointment. I was surprised that they didn't include no NG2 demo as a disappointment.

[lonestarmt]

yeah whats up with this DMC hate? I haven't heard any negative views on it then gamepro says this?? I"m pumped for DMC. I don't need revolutionary new game style for DMC. Just get me a good storyline, more bad assness, and more hot next gen women. I don't understand, everything they said about DMC you could say about halo 3, but that doesn't keep them from prasing it. Double standard. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[PS360WII]

Biggest disappointment was that there's no mention of DOA Cronos :( I need some more DOA! They need to make up for 4. 3 was brilliant 4 was dumbed down...

[tharealest]

biggest disappointment is that there ARE disappointments, the oppurtunity for TGS to establish itself as this years bonafide gaming event was definitely there with the scaled down e3.

[lonestarmt]

Yep. They could have stole alot from E3, but E3 actually looks a little better. The press conference for the big three were all lame. I was dissapointed because there was not many japanese games. Thats what I wanted to see, most of that crap i already knew from E3, besides yakuza 3. Hell if they just would let us SEE the new trailers for ff13 or vs I would have been happy. There were hyped for three new capcom games and nothing. There was hype for the game that would save the ps3, and nothing. There were talk for ff 7 remake, and nothing. No price cut. Who i think hurt the most is sony. Sony had the best E3 by a hair and they needed TGS show off some powerhouses. Yes MGS4 looks better than ever but they needed something extra. If they would have a great TGS they could gained so much ground and murdered the 360 in Japan. Nintendo has lost a lot of face in my eyes, and are becoming even more unimportant to the real gamers. haha we are nintendo, we have the wii, people will buy it no matter what! muah. Screw you! i hate to say it but I think M$ won this one TGS by a hair. Sony could have won if they just would have showed the dang trailers!!!!!

[gunnerforlife]

why r people hating on DMC4 for that game is going to rul eall other action adventure games out there

[mgras]

that game will be crazy
