Sony's Tokyo Game Show presser dissected - A bright future?

Dealspwn: Sony's press conference at the Tokyo Game Show was packed with information and reveals this morning. We set our alarm clocks and watched the whole thing and were presented with some encouraging reveals. So, what did we learn from the show and what sort of future has it shown for the PS4 and PS Vita in Japan and beyond?

There was a lot of positive noise made from this morning's show, and certainly made me more excited for what Sony will show at Paris Games Week. I mean, we didn't see anything from Persona 5 or The Last Guardian today, both of which I would have thought would have made an appearance, and yet I still think they showed off a lot of games I'd like the play. I'm glad the Vita got some love too - let's just hope that translates to some attention in Western markets as well.

Also, Kingdom Hearts' naming conventions really, really need an overhaul. Ugh.

KevWriter3237d ago

I was really surprised that there was no Persona 5 announcement. I have a feeling it won't be released this year after all.

jon_snow3237d ago

On 17th during Atlus press they are announcing check twitter.

jon_snow3237d ago

Persona has it's own press moment on 17th just 2 days where release dates will be announced.

KevWriter3237d ago

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Aenea3237d ago

This can't be right, 'cos you know nothing Jon Snow! :D

Yep, no special reveal as most games had already been showned, another game that was promised to be on PS3 then shows up as a PS4 game, more HD remasters, as to be one of the Worst TGS that I remember.

Davi1233237d ago

Don't let's exaggerate, TGS wasn't good, but wasn't that bad either.

donwel3237d ago

Glad to see the Vita getting some attention, though it is still a relatively popular system in Japan, not so much in the west though.
So whilst I so hope that we see some more games coming to the system over here I can't help but be rather doubtful.

_-EDMIX-_3237d ago

Agreed, it got lots of exclusives, very surprised.

Great show when taken into context. Sony delivered, simple as that, not the biggest of announcements but many great ones. Really showing they have their hand in the pulse.

By context I mean, they still have PAris Games Week and PSX this year. Plenty of time to fulfil most people's requests.

Both companies have stepped up and bought their A game to shows this year and it looks like it will only get better.

Great time to be a gamer.

Does this mean that Palworld is getting an anime?

Abnor_Mal16d ago

Crazy that they’ve formed a partnership of sorts, but the game itself still haven’t been released on PlayStation

badz14916d ago

It's still in Early Access. If it ever goes gold, there will definitely be a PS5 version, might even be a PS4 version too

Abnor_Mal16d ago

I still have no clue what this game is all about, to be honest.

badz14916d ago

@Abnor_Mal

If games like ARK is not to your liking, then Palworld wouldn't be your cup of tea either...I think.

New Sony Controller May Let You Draw Your Own Buttons Using Conductive Ink

Sony has published a new patent about a controller that can be completely personalized by a user, including its shape and layout.

TFJWM31d ago

It is just a patent if it is new tech you file it

S2Killinit30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Dont get me wrong, I love that Sony does these research into new tech and all, after all it led to something as fun as the Dualsense, but im just asking why this particular tech would be useful in any way.

Profchaos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Interesting idea likely something that will never actually be produced but Sony's simply securing the paten

Profchaos30d ago

Common practice really so many companies pattern troll because they either intend to make a product or just want to hold onto the rights of the idea there's some insane ones out there especially at the dawn of the internet.

You can have no intent to use it but this is just saying you thought of it first

kylegeorge8830d ago

yeah no, the controllers need the hall effect before investing more time and money into quirks.

BlackDoomAx30d ago

But how will they sell as many controllers if they do that?

fsfsxii30d ago

Maybe consider your personal hygiene before blaming someone else for your controller defecting

DustMan30d ago

I doubt @FSFSXII even knows what hall effect is. What a turd.

y2mate30d ago

great idea, but will it fully distributed to other continent ?
