Microsoft: “We will absolutely have some new stuff to show in Tokyo”

Microsoft will not be holding a press conference such as Sony is doing this year at the Tokyo Game Show, however, Aaron Greenberg has confirmed to Eurogamer that they'll be bringing at least some new things to the show.

"We are going to TGS this year, but unlike last year will not be doing a keynote. TGS is more like GDC, where typically only one platform company does a keynote each year and so, given that we hosted the keynote last year, we are going to step aside and let Sony have a turn on the stage.

"With that said, the Japanese market and the development community there is very important to us, so we will absolutely have some new stuff to show in Tokyo, but unfortunately you are going to have to wait a bit longer for the details."

They've already confirmed earlier that, like Sony, they'll also be announcing new games.

Sounds good. New IPs would be welcome too!

At Bolded: OMG, How nice of MS to let Sony a Japanese company deliver the Keynote at a Japanese Event. Thank you MS, you are the most humble company in the world.

Seriously????

CGI, Axum, you guys are being sarcastic right. If anything that was the most arrogant thing they could have said.

Anyways, I hope it is something new. But I bet it will be Natal stuff.

You really think that was meant as an insult to Sony?

I don't think it was an insult but it seemed back handed to me. Look at who's saying it Aaron Greenberg, i hate that man, he is arrogant himself. He obviously didn't mean it with all love. But there isn't much to go on except his character and the things he has said before, i don't really like him. If maybe someone else from MS said it that wasn't like him i wouldn't see it this way.

 


Why so much hate? He even said sony had a good E3 2009 and that MLB 09 is the best baseball game he ever played. He is not that bad.

Of course he promotes MS stuff, but damn, thats his job.

Fable 4 slated for 2011.


isn't the GDC the "Game developers conference"? Fable III was announced at GC, GamesCom.

is it just me or did they said that even Sonys keynote will look like big pile of fail compared to what they will show/announce on TGS? it sound like:"oh well we will give you that keynote since we will destroy you there anyway".

I think it may be just you.

@ slimebeast

I'll never give this one up. It is not a WRPG.

Maybe they could get a new ip that's a killer app ala Halo or Gears of War since Halo will probably only be spinoffs from now on and Gears is only expected to be a trilogy (i think) and therefore theres only 1 game left (besides future spinoffs).

Yeah... you are probably right... After Reach, there won't be any new Halos... ever. There will be Halo 4, 5, 6! And an outstanding success like Gears of War won't stop either. God of War should be a trilogy as well, but we all know that this won't be the last God of war game.

There is way too much money in those franchises to just let them drop.

I agree that it is absolutely crucial that Microsoft buy Mistwalker and whatever other small Japanese developers they can get. If Microsoft is going to invest a lot of money into publishing "exclusive" Japanese games, they better be exclusive. Or else the Xbox 360 owners will be stuck with a less finished version of the game while the PS3 owners get a port with a bunch of exclusive content a year later (like what happened with Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata and Enchanted Arms).

Honestly I think it would be neat to see MS concentrate more on releasing Japanese visual novels (with eventual western localization) instead of all these jrpgs but that's wishful thinking I suppose. I'm pretty burnout on jrpgs. I probably would still get Blue Dragon 2 or Lost Odyssey 2 if they ever come out since I felt Blue Dragon and LO were pretty good but I swear the adventures and plots in jrpgs just seem so drawn-out and slow-paced. The stories just don't engage me like they did in my younger days (and it's not because the stories got worse. I'm sure that I'd have less interest in FF6 and FF7's stories now than I did a decade ago). After a certain point, you just want it to end. Fable II, which I loved, was criticized heavily for having too short of a main quest but I felt the sandbox nature of the game made up for that. Game length doesn't count as a plus to me if I feel bored by the game and can't wait for it to end.

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Did you guy's not read my other post. I already explained myself. I hate arrogant people. Aaron Greenberg is Arrogant, therefore i hate him. And just because he said something nice doesn't mean anything. David Reeves said nice things too, but do you like him. I don't.

Watch i can say something nice about Aaron Greenberg. He does a good job talking BS. See i did it.
