With Marvel Tokon there I hope we see more of the first party PS5 Arcade Stick and get a release date for it.

Stellar blade 2 please

It's a place dedicated to children and it's not part of the main lineup, chorizo-san.

It seems someone isn't well-informed that there are no children in Japan anymore.

Anything but a showcase from these clowns. Whats the point of showing up with 3 games. lmao

"The full list of playable titles [...] will be announced at a later date."

They always have a bunch of games playable.

 

[blacktout]

Hopefully we'll get some more Lumines Arise footage/info. Seems like a natural fit for Sony's booth since it's a (timed?) console exclusive for the PS5 and Sony announced it at their last State of Play.

Wait, actually, maybe we'll get a release date, since it's currently scheduled for "Fall 2025." There aren't many opportunities left to give us a date.

Neither is Japan

Sony very much lost the hearts and minds of Japan gamers.

Don't worry. They'll probably start importing Indians to fix that.

 

[yogaflame]

No

Look at famitsu numbers throughout the years compared to sw1 and sw2.

The same sentences keep repeating over and over.

What made the PS1 and PS2 so great, especially in Japan, where the massive third-party exclusive library.

They lost a considerable amount of exclusive third-party IP's going from the PS2 to the PS3.

Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Armored Core, and many many more.

The decline already started transitioning from the PS2 to the PS3.

It's been 20 years, you just get used to it.

 

[yogaflame]

This TGS is very crucial for Sony PS. Sony really has to be at there best in this TGS to win back the hearts of there homeland and at least lessen the lead of Switch 1 and Switch 2. It starts by bringing back AA and A exclusives games and more quirky Japanese prefered games. RPG is very much loved genre in Japan so maybe reviving Wild arms, Alundra, Legend of Legaia, Dark cloud, and Legend of Dragoon IP. Platformers are also popular in Japan so Astrobot is a good start so bring back more platformers like Ape escape. And lastly reduce the price of Ps5 and ps5 pro in Japan.

 

[Ozriel]

Ghost of Yotei is an AAA game set in Japan…

What a disgrace of a line up in 5th year after console launch

I agree. I just hope for some surprise announcement and some teaser for future titles like Stellar blade 2 and Physint. And maybe a surprise announcement about next gen PSP portable which Sony really need in Japan market that prefers handheld or hybrid this days.

 

[kazuyamishima]

The last year A $ony console top of the charts is 2005,GameCube's dead,Wii's not out yet,360 didn't quite make it

Maybe they should change that if they want sell their future handheld

Fucking hell

You see that Represent. ? You were one of the few remaining for Intergalactic and Nial throws you under the bus.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

This was released 10 years ago? and still isn't on PC.
10 years ago. I am old.

I love SB but it's too soon.

Even after you post this, they still complain it's only 3 games...

 

[yurinka]

Look at famitsu numbers throughout the years compared to sw1 and sw2.

Portables always sold better than home consoles in Japan, Nintendo merged both their home and portable markets in a single device and the Switches had no competition in the portables market.

That's why until now SW1+2 sold 37.8M, over twice of the PS4+PS5 sold 16.5M in Japan. Something that is a rare exception, Japan is barely a 10% of the worldwide market, where PS4+PS5 sold more than SW1+2.

 

[Kacho]

That's my hope. Fake remains skeptical.

They may have lost them exclusively but a Sony console along with PC are still the only way to play triple AAA Japanese games. A lot of them don't even reach series X and if they do its way later. Majority of these games are still being played on PlayStation consoles exclusivity or not.

 

[adamsapple]

That's definitely preliminary.

Oh so you didn't even read the 2nd post of the thread. NICE!

Who cares. They still would rather do anything but an actual showcase.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Is it bad that I sneezed with laughter seeing that list? What happened to all the 3P deals?

I get they'll announce more games but...three? Better be more, otherwisewhy really be there?

You are not the target audience anymore.

A dangerous game for them to play long-term, we'll see how it works out for 'em.

This isn't true at all. PS5 and Xbox have basically 99% of the same Japanese AAA library this gen, with release date parity. Games we should've expected to be PS exclusive only a gen ago are now also Day 1 on Series S & X, let alone PC.

I don't know what timeline you're living in where you think the bolded still holds true, but time to wake up because that's not what's happening today.

 

[mckmas8808]

Who cares about facts? If there's really 13 games and not just these 3, then what's the problem?

What game? If they have the same amount of games as last time, then what's the issue?

 

[lughnasadh123]

People so insistent on running with a narrative that they're leaping over the bright, flashing sign that screams, "hey stupid, there's going to be more games there".

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

The game of acting like they don't have the global infrastructure or resources to cater to multiple regional fanbases & communities simultaneously. I'll never buy the cap that SIE have basically ceased all American public gaming events because they only had enough to choose between that or ChinaJoy, for example.

They're a massive platform holder with 3 decades of industry experience. If they wanted to cater to multiple customer bases at once, they could make way to do so. This extends to older parts of the fanbase with nostalgia for classic IP, too. It shouldn't be a choice between only that or only going after zoomers with GAAS or a bazillion Soulslikes (yet no actual sequel to Bloodborne in sight).

With this, me and you TOTALLY agree on! They are being too restrictive with their global public presence. And this has been the case for the last 2-3 years.

Guy was relentlessly shitting on Astro Bot last year, tho, he's just a ND bitch at this point.

IconEra is down the hall and to the left.

A Stellar Blade beach volleyball game could pull me back in.

I'd love a bit more info on Intergalactic, as well as Saros.

Oh, and Bloodborne Remastered would be nice

 

[CamHostage]

Who cares. They still would rather do anything but an actual showcase.

I worry that some people think publishers make new videogames so that they can do showcase events....

 

[Ar¢tos]

Ghost of Yotei is an AAA game set in Japan…

Naturally, doing Ghost of Detroit would require creating new assets and Sony only spends big bucks on Live Service Games.
