Sadly I doubt they'll localize whatever this big announcement is, so I won't get too hyped about it.
Of course it will be localized this gen.
If it is somehow "big" it would make no sense to release it only in japan.
They have to release it (and will) in the west, too, to make money.
 
I hope it's something genuinely big, and not, y'know, the next panty raiding pervfest by Nippon Ichi or whatever.

The Last Guardian would be nice, but by this stage a re-reveal of it would be considered to big an announcement to make at TGS. E3 is the only event I could see that game remerging at now.

I don't quite understand where this mentality came from. As far as console games go, we actually got most of them. What big Japanese console games did we not get? Some Gundam games, Falcoms jrpgs and Ryu Ga Gotku? Yes, but that's really it. There's a few other titles, but they were small even in Japan. Many Japanese console games were brought over.
 
I would translate as: Hamamura Hirokazu: "I heard from a large producer that at TGS they have a big announcement to make relating to a PS4 title"

I don't think there is any context to assume he's saying this title will drive ps4 sales or anything
 
Fullofshitsu, amirite?

Though a cross-gen release for Persona 5 does seem like it would be plausible and noteworthy... so... maybe?

there's more than that one line if you click through the link
 
translated script from Gematsu

With game platforms being enormously popular in North America and Europe, PlayStation 4 is being supported with major content. In Japan, on the other hand, PlayStation 4′s uprush isn’t very good. Released in February instead of the year-end shopping season, the system sold 320,000 units at launch, which is by no means a bad number. However, even now total sales are at 640,000, which cannot be compared to the sales momentum from North America and Europe. Of course, as a characteristic of the Japanese market, mobile games are by far the leading trade, “but I heard from a major game maker that they’re going to have a big announcement around the time of the Tokyo Game Show that should help the system’s growth.” (Quoted from Hamamura).

Anyone knows if its a big unannounced PS4 title? Otherwise I think its going to be Kingdom Hearts 3. If its indeed unannounced, well I'm already hyped for the game on ethereal hiatus living in our minds forever but most surely will end extremely disappointed.
 
I'd love for DQ to come back to the big screen where it belongs. DQVIII was amazing. Thankfully NiNoKuni kind of filled the void left but a big production again of the series would be great. And it would help PS4 sales in Japan no end along with FF and KH coming.

Well to my knowledge, they left Yakuza 5 and Yakuza Ishin in Japan with a really low adoption rate for PS4, so you never know.......


Also, when would this so called huge title come out? I do not want to hear a major announcement for lets say...........Dragon Quest 11 or Persona 5 HD edition only for it not to come out until 2018.
 
Yes, but since Atlus is a part of Sega, I think an announcement by Sega that they're porting P5 to the PS4 would be by a major game maker.

I would say SEGA could be part of it but I don't see a Persona 5 port to the PS4 driving sales when its on PS3 as well.

P5 could have aport to PS4 but I don;t see it being referred to by the editor's statement.
