Sony's 2014 Pre-TGS Conference - ENDED

[Nathan Drake]

Well, I went ahead and actually watched the Vita portion of the show (AKA the first 20 minutes of the two hour presentation), and well, I'm kind of disappointed. The reel was mostly indie stuff or stuff we knew was coming (and even or two things already here), and only a small handful of games got a full, actual trailer. Of those, a couple of them definitely won't be coming west. For example, Phantasy Star Nova? They announced that a year ago at the least pre-TGS conference, and in classic Sega fashion, they've gotten no closer towards realizing that sending at least one decent Phantasy Star game over here couldn't hurt.

Still need to see more Vita love, and I really need to see some guarantees that stuff is coming west. Pretty much everything indie, we'll probably be getting, but I need to know about more full releases.

Kind of sad that the game I'm most anticipating for my Vita was being hyped primarily for the PS4 with the Vita only being mentioned on the last information screen.

I get the PS4 is struggling in Japan, but damn it, Sony, just throwing your handheld into the corner isn't a great way to garner success anywhere.

I thought this was a Japan-only conference, also I am not sure about whether the Vita is struggling in Japan, I mean, they get all the good stuff.

TGS is Japan, I get that, but considering most everything the Vita gets is localized from Japan, stuff like TGS gives a pretty good idea of what we can expect for the Vita in the West as well. At the moment, it's looking like no matter how you slice it, the Vita is getting the short end of the stick as Sony displays their incredible inability to actually focus on two consoles at the same time, leaving the Vita high and dry at the last two game shows, and giving it the bare minimum pre-TGS.

The release schedule is still more full than the 3DS at least, I give the Vita that. This year is beginning to show that I might be better off selling my Vita though. As far as I can tell, the next year for the Vita in the west will just be blah indie titles with whatever bone Japan throws our way. Even if it has more games coming to it, it largely isn't what people buy a dedicated handheld gaming device for.

Stuff like this is what makes me absolutely unsurprised that the Vita is selling terribly in the west.

a little hint with the "Rythem Game I didn't get the translated title of". is Deemo, and the title appeared at the beginning of the trailer. is also available on iOS and Android, is awesome.

 

[GameWinner]

Yeah, Deemo isn't really new. I played it on my phone not to long ago.

A white and pink vita? For female gamers? Haha! I want one, depending on how it actually looks of course. Too bad there aren't that many games I'm interested enough in right now... Oh well, that means I'll have more money to save up for the N3DS instead.

 

[GameWinner]

Excuse me while I revive this thread but there is another conference planned tonight. Supposedly, two new PS4 games will be revealed.
Hopefully I can watch it on the IGN app.

 

[CathyRina]

two PS4 games? I wonder which.

 

[chavosaur]

Please be Tales of, Please be Tales of, Please be Tales of...

 

[GameWinner]

Sorry guys. The two games will apparently be revealed on the 18th or a bit after. I got it mixed up. >_<

 

[Gaming4Ever]

I'm hoping it might be Guerillas new game but I doubt it since its TGS.......But if its the recently rumored Mech T-Rex game that shit looks sweet

 

[T-hug]

Hoping for the GG game too:

SciFi stone-age?

And of course The Last Guardian!
