Forums - Sony - Official TGS Playstation Conference thread

Luckily Vita have new colors this year. That could help the sales a little bit.

The big thing still GE 2 for Vita along with Soul Sacrifice. Spring 2013 is really big for VIta and I think that is where the real battle starts.
Toudiken is interesting and I would love to see more.
Valhalla knights is trying to be MH clone by the looks of it. Muramasa and Senran kagura could help a little.







Around the Network

So basically the big news is that Sony raised the price of its console. Sheesh, I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch.

So the biggest things from the conference were the new ps3 model, new vita colors and the three marvelous games?


God Eater 2 is the biggest thing sales wise. 600k+ in Japan for the first one.

But is also releasing the same day as the psp version and there is where all the fans are


but this gives the fans an assurance that the next instalment will be on Vita(exclusively)

and with better controls and enchance GFX I know a lot of people will upgrade.

I wouldnt be so sure about that but lets wait and see how well it does on the vita first before doing anything else, also all the MH clones on vita are getting released on spring 2013 but that is the same release as MH4 is not? If so thats crazy for sony

They showed two bundles priced at $269 and $299. There is no base model without games or extras thrown in, so while you get a lot more value, the cost of entry is very slightly higher.

Is it safe to say that was kinda a flop? New PS3, new colors and some new niche games that may or may not come out of Japan.

Well, its TGS why would they announce a heavy western title?

I think that Sony missed an oportunity to have a strong first holiday. When PSP launched a lot of people (and I guess also devs) thought that it would dominate the handheld market, this time there is no positive perception towards PSV. Whether they are exagerating and ignoring the 'great titles' that are coming for the handheld, it is a problem for Sony.

Okay.

Worst conference in Years. Possibly ever.

Personnally I'm somewhat happy, Senran Kagura, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 + and Muramasa were excellent surprises. Valhalla Knights 3 can be also good and a true PSVita version of God Eater 2 is just fantastic! It's true it would have been far better if they had cancelled the PSP version : Japanese developers not letting go of PSP is Vita's biggest problem. The conference in a whole wasn't big, but no bad.

Bad for Vita, but hopefully there will be more games announced for it as TGS continues.

OK for PS3, purely because of the new sexy model


I'm guessing you haven't seen the disc tray cover in operation yet.

No, have you? If so, is there a video available?

skip to 2.00 mins.

 



Is that really that bad? Outside of it randomly sliding open, I don't see it as a negative...
