Glad I didn't stay up for that.  I guess most of the announcements come from the third parties over the next few days?

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

So it was lame? Any new games?

[DerNebel]

Yeah, just checked the chertz thread, people seem super salty, looks like some people still don't really understand how Sonys TGS conferences work. I'm still at work though, haven't watched it yet, skimming through the announcements (couldn't resist) it looks like there really wasn't much, I'll still watch it for the weirdness of it all.

DelayStation.

Usually when new information is released I speak about it in interviews with the media etc., but this time the opportunity didn't line up, so I'm going to speak to you directly through Twitter.

First, I must apologise. As was stated today, due to the adjustment of contiguous titles, our estimated release date for KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 of December 2016 has become (for Japan) the 12th January 2017. To everyone who was looking forward to a release before the end of the year, I'm so sorry. Please rest assured that development itself is moving along as planned without a single issue and we are nearly finished.



There will again be two kinds of demo booths at TGS, 0.2 and DDD. The number of DDD booths in particular will be quite low, so if you have your heart set on experiencing KH at 60fps, please leave plenty of time to come to the booths. The smoothness and feel of the controls of DDD in actual motion is very fresh. Also, the 0.2 demo booths are the same style as the ones that were out at E3 this year. That means the style is already different compared to the style in the trailer we just released. The final commercial version is currently undergoing even more quality upping, but I think you can get a pretty good taste of the controls themselves from the demo. Please take this chance to get a feel of the first KH game produced for PS4.

In the trailer released at the same time as this message, I included some rather interesting scenes, as this won't be the last trailer, and it's designed to make you look forward to what's coming next. Best of all, the Hikaru Utada's Hikari -Ray of Hope Mix- included in the trailer was remixed ESPECIALLY FOR the opening of 0.2. Please look forward to getting to hear this new version of Hikari along with the opening movie.



With the development deadline approaching we are currently busy with last-minute work on 2.8, but for the first time in history our box art was actually ready before the release date announcement. I think I'll let the awesomeness of this miraculous planning speak for how well things are going. By the way, it will of course be compatible with the PS4Pro, so be excited. Furthermore, the other game we are working on while doing this, KH3, is coming along steadily. There are new worlds in which you can run, jump, [spoilers], [spoilers]... I'm very excited about moving Sora around in the wider space with his higher range of maneuverability. Next year is the 15th year anniversary, and first there's the release of 2.8, then that same month Unchained χ gains multiplayer functionality, and in March the full orchestra world tour (reservations for which opened today) begins, and actually, there's something else being planned for around then that I can't announce yet... One way or another, I think next year will be full of chances for me to announce new information, and I will be blessed to have reached fifteen memory-filled years with all of you.

chertz salty about playstation,..

[darkknightkryta]

So what happened?  I didn't know TGS started today.

chertz salty about playstation,..

Now now.  How can the chertz be salty about Sony when it's filled, controlled, and overun with Sony fanboys?

[DerNebel]

So what happened?  I didn't know TGS started today.

Nothing much. We got a couple release dates, no new games of note I'd say.

Btw. do you guys think Gravity Rush Remastered will be given away to western PS+ owners as well before the sequel comes out? I hope they do that for the series sake.

[Legend]

GR on ps+ sure.

Tgs is almost gamescom level bad these days

Tgs is almost gamescom level bad these days

Yeah, it's sad. They still have tons of talented people but there's just no money in the market, which is why you either get the same series being milked over and over with cheap new entries and spinoffs (*cough* Musou *cough*) or you get super basic lowbudget crud.

If I had the money I would love to just throw like $500 million at console devs over there to see them flex their development muscle again. I want big and bold Japan back in gaming.

That being said, there is enough stuff floating around or already announced that making a good TGS conference shouldn't be too difficult.
