Interesting that they're doing a general state of Play and then one tailored to eastern audiences, probably for games that are generally not that big in the west, which makes sense.

New Suikoden game in the works, i can feel it

Chrono Trigger or bust.

Ah a SoP for the nation that is one of the largest supporters of physical games. They announce this the same Day they Don Matrick TV TV TV TV announcement. Sony is so fucking stupid.

Them shadow dropping a TV app in a blog post / tweet is not the same as the don matrick debacle... Lmao...
