No im not to Hot on KH( thats my brother's series) but that change the point. SE openly talked about embarrassed they were ay E3 as there western studio were basically carrying and they wanted to remedy this....... BY BRINGING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT MORE WESTERN MADE GAMES TO TGS!!??... TGS is gonna suck this year I bet not one shocker will happen

Call of Duty is quite big in Japan now (200-300k) so given that SquareEnix publish it they're bound to show it along its major games. As for the rest of th western games, it feels more like a way to add variety to the line-up. And western games have some progression margin in the Japanese market so there are business opportunities for SE (a bit like the way JRPGs are rising in the west > SE, NIS America).

I'm happy to learn more about KH3D but I admit this line-up is a bit disappointing. I hope there will be some huge Vita announcements!


Doesnt Matter Japan is a sinking ship atm. The TGS is basically Japan's E3 and at TGS they need to be working hard renewing interest in the diminishing style of Games and showing that they still have what it takes to compete with West. SE is a leader among this market that was complaining of its relevance a few months ago and what does it bring to TGS?. If i didnt know I would think SE was a western developer nowadays. They need to be busting out New IP's, resurrecting old ones... to get people Xxcited about SE again, a once big name ..now just shadow.

Square Enix are not the Japanese Gaming industry and they never were. There are mainy awesome Games coming out of Japan right now from small to medium sized developers but most are not published outside Japan.
