TGS 2009: Sony Conference Overview

Roundup of news from Sony's Tokyo Game Show 2009 conference

[TOO PAWNED]

So called keynote/pressconferences were let down, where are JRPGS Sony?

[leeger]

i was also disappointed, thought they would at least announce 1 new game that I don't know about, and show games that are specifically for the motion controller.

[nirtsbro]

seriously.. epic fail sony.......

i was expecting something more... turns out we got nothing.

[Beast_Master]

I thought WKC II was a JRPG? Nailing down GT5 release was a big deal as well...But overall I agree, a little disappointing, it is hard to blow out 3 shows every year though.. E3, GC and TGS.

[rockleex]

They should be working on a new Suikoden! >_<

And where's Breath of Fire from Capcom?

Do Japanese developers really believe no one wants JRPGs anymore?!

Do they have to see the success of FFXIII before they want to jump on the JRPG bandwagon again?! COME ON!

[mfwahwah]

"turns out we got nothing."

Nothing = Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy XIII, White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain, MAG, God of War 3, Eye Pet, The Last Guardian, motion control (for LBP, RE5, and a whole lot more games), why am I even bothering typing this. Some people are just plain ole ungrateful.

[thesummerofgeorge]

He obviously meant we got "nothing" at this particular event... chill.

[mfwahwah]

I know. I still think it's stupid to complain. He said it was an "epic fail" though. I'm proving him wrong.

Don't need to be greedy when we have TONS of games on the way.

So don't tell me to "chill," Costanza.

[thesummerofgeorge]

Chill

[villevalorox]

TGS is a 3 day event ye? So will sony be announcing stuff for all 3 days or are all the announcements over? ((is there 3 days or 1??))

[sinncross]

I think you have a valid point.
Considering neither MS nor Nintendo were having any conference whatsoever, Sony probably used the keynote/ conference to detail the basics that were not software.

Showing that the motion controller could be sued in normal games was important, along with a variation for Home hitting the PSP. These sort of announcements wouldn't' work well as singular events during TGS, whereas new game unveils could.

So I think we'll see some stuff in following days. Cause as TOO PAWNED said, where are those JRPG's?

[Feral Gamer]

It was a "meh" conference. Nothing noteworthy.

[MainEv3nt 69]

they could have at least announced the dam name of the motion controller

[Mc Fadge]

E-motion controller

[jhoang]

playstation motion controller =PMC

[CrazyOrange]

Playstation Balls

[CrazyOrange]

At least some of us still have sesnse of humor...

[mfwahwah]

Yeah and you're not one of them.

[Isaahc]

it just started it's not over till the 27, I'm sure they'll announce more.

[Mc Fadge]

That it'll be called the "E-motion Controller" or something to that effect

[Sangria]

Wow, the European video store will only be available in Spring 2010. Damn... :|

[MainEv3nt 69]

i would also like to know how they expect us to move in games because i dont see a analog stick anywhere

[Disccordia]

Apparently, if the RE5 devs are to be believed, you will have to hold the dualshock3 in one hand and the motion controller in the other.

[Pizzagaki]

Poor show, MS already owned this before they even started, partly thanks to the comments of Kojima, and the list of Natal developers.

[El Botto]

MSs exclusive game shown at TGS: "avatar racing"

@xbotgaki
Thats funny stupid xbot. But of all the games I just mentioned, not one can be found on the DS. And half of them cant be found on the betabox. Lmao PWNED for being an xbot and OWNED for being stupid.

[GEESE]

[mythamp]

yah? i have visited n4g 10 times today already, hoping to get some updates on those two games, one of them being a sequel of a great fps? hmm disappointing.

[Its_The_Truth]

Finally they are putting FF8 on PSN WOOOOOOOT ive already got FF7 and FF Tactics. now we need 9-10-10.2-12 and Parasite Eve and Dragonball will be interesting to download as well. Not only are we going broke by Sony's amazing First party games PSN is getting the rest (:

[0din]

You will see the Zantetsuken on big screen even the Seifer ownage :) Not to mention Triple Triads while bouncing your head with the music (DAMN the random and plus rules I lost my rare cards :( lol).

[xdye017]

How dare you Gordon Freeman > Snake by a billion miles.

[Grin]

I think most of us are satisfied with GT5 getting a date.

Well, I am at least.

[Lavalamp]

I was pretty disappointed that they did not announce PS2 games coming to PSN but that was probably because of my own fault by getting swept up in all of the hype. But they didn't announce the cross-game voice chat until after so maybe they will do the same thing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[redwingsrock]

final fantasy 8 day one buy for me
