Oh shit. Never saw that second link before. That window of time clearly means it's not Bloodborne, but another big Sony Japan game. I love the emphasis on the "gameplay" being amazing, not just visuals or whatever.
Also, it's really interesting that they mention "it's not FFXV". Maybe this is the rumored FF inspired JRPG that Sony Japan's been working on?
The fact that the press is getting a 30 mins peak at the game means that it must be announced, right? Can you hold a press event like this and actually keep them from at least mentioning the name of the title?
The pain. I feel it.LMAO...

Level 5 have been reported to be too busy swimming in money to make any game not named Youkai Watch. And of course Ghibli is...
Could this still happen? I mean, with the whole Studio Ghibli on a break situation now...
Seems to be a digital download title (like rain, or Entwined).
So it would a rather "smaller-ish" game. Not a typical "AAA" game.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the "unannounced ps4 jp game" is the team gravity game. It was teased 11 months ago, looking obviously like a vita game tech-wise and during a vita panel. But the ps4 needs some game and the silence surrounding this game is a bit strange. It could be a cross platform game also with a dedicated vita version (the more Gravity rush games, the better for me, I'm a big fan).
Based on hints by developers/known information:
Media Molecule's new IP
JPN PS4 game from Sony
Housemarque's new game might be there.
Rime gameplay footage and/or playable at the event.
Until Dawn
That's all of the not so obvious information so far. Personally, I think we'll see one of Bend Studios, London Studios, or GG's new IPs at the event.

Sony showed a tonne of new stuff at gamescom last year. Would be wrong to just discount it. This is what they gave us last year...
- First demo of the PS4 UI
- LittleBigPlanet Hub F2P on PS3
- Vita price drop
- Vita memory card price drop along with new game packs
- Football Manager 2014 Vita
- Borderlands 2 Vita
- Murasaki Baby for Vita
- Big Fest for Vita
- About 50,000 more indie titles for PS4 and Vita
- Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
- Rime
- Helldivers
- Resogun
- Shadow of the Beast
- Killzone multiplayer
- Twitch streaming support
- Minecraft
- 12GB PS3 price drop for EU
- 12GB PS3 for release US
- PS4 release date
Pretty sure that's much more than TGS. Though, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of those games again this year as some have gone AWOL like Rime, Shadow of the Beast etc.
I think Sony has two hands on with the press, the Japanese game (30 minutes) and another unannounced game for 45 minutes ,I don't think either of these are small games.

Aww... hype levels throttled. expectations set to "cool, I guess."
Wait, there's also a 45 minute one? What has been going on in this thread, and why am i so out of the loop?
really?

I don't think this gamescom game and July game are the same title.

When did this become a thing?
Why does this matter?
So basically ports for a handheld they don't even advertise, something that's clearly canceled (LBP hub), a remake of a game that we haven't seen brought up since then (SOTB), a ps3 sku nobody in their right mind would buy, and some other small things.
It was a really bad showing, along with the camera man being drunk most of the time.

Two "secret dates" one for a japanese game, another for an unanounced IP.
japanese game: 30 minutes, other game: 45.
PS4 games, both unannounced.
Joke post?
This is definitely a joke post, Kyoufu is just trying to troll.
Games like Rime and Helldivers are cool enough to actually be acknowledged. I mean basically your entire post seems to be an outright dismissal of a bunch of games based on three specific games you mention. If you're going to have an opinion I'd hope you'd back it up with something more substantial than this.

I should try not to let myself get hyped, but that would be pretty damn amazing. On one hand I think they'd hold something like this back for TGS, but on the other hand given how irrelevant Japan is to the home console market it might well be better getting its debut at a European or American conference.

Wonder if we'll get a Helldivers date. They showed it off last year and it's supposed to come out summer 2014.
I think one was definitely a joke post but I'm not so confident about the other...

I really hope we do. It looks like a great game to play with friends.
Hype level increasing now...

Ahh, but sadly that means the other one is not studio Japan. Probably MM, or GG, or someone else for the new IP. Either way, I'm really interested to see what Studio Japan has been cooking up.
It is an advantage to be in that position unless the earlier press conference is significantly more impressive. In addition; though Sony makes its plans well ahead of time, it allows them to make adjustments based on seeing MS's first.
Similar to in a contest where you get to see someone else try something first and adjust base don what you see.
Of course it is moot if MS does something ground shaking.
If MS does something ground shaking, Kaz will just edit in an even bigger megaton slide within minutes.
Indie games are no real games though.
