WOHO KH 1.8 wish it came with 1.5 and 2.5
@SKC_Diamond If Squenix can make money doing it, they will. Just because they didn't bother to announce it just now doesn't mean they won't put those out, too. Might even have some insane collector's edition will all of it lumped together. Too soon to call, anyway.
Gravity Rush 'remastered' and Gravity Rush 2 is all I wanted to see. On top of getting that, the Bloodborne DLC looked amazing, based on track record Yakuza 6 should be awesome. And there was a ton of other stuff. Some uninteresting stuff sprinkled in, though to be fair some of that may be because I'm not as into Japanese gaming as others, but there's no denying the potential of some games, and the conference moved at a terrific pace. A better show than E3 and I thought E3 was great. At this point, PS4 is the place to be. There's a good number of Xbox One exclusives I want but PS4 has a good number also and a lot of variety. I can't fathom how a gamer couldn't find something to like on this console but different strokes for different folks I guess.
Really disappointed that Persona 5 wasn't even presented in any way during the press.
Other than that, I'd say good. Liked Gravity Rush 2, 13th Sentinel: Aegis Rim, Toukiden 2, Yakuza 6, and Nioh.
Very good (though I accidentally pressed good) from what I saw of it. Despite missing the good stuff.
@Stuffgamer1 yea hopefully I tried soft modding my ps2 and broke it I wanted to play final mix kh but that failed. I didn't have a 7th gen console so no 1.5 or 2.5 so a ps4 remaster is my only hope unless psnow come to nz but yea. I have played kh 1 and 2 before but that was years ago but I do remember the base story so I should understand ddd hd
Gravity Rush 1 & 2.
Bloodborne Expansion.
Everybody's Golf.
Yakuza 6.
What else do we need?!
@WanderingBullet Atlus have their own TGS conference so I think P5 will be there...
really want Ni-oh, it's like a Samurai Bloodborne
it was ok, some good announcments like KH II.8 but it was like watching a managers meeting a bit dry and stiff
@Dodoo Oh, that'd be awesome. Thanks.
I've just rewatched 13th Sentinel: Aegis Rim trailer and I think it could be students piloting mechs!
I totally missed it, but just based on reading the livestream article on here it looks like tons of great stuff was shown. Exciting times!
Can't wait for the more detailed articles to pop up throughout the day
DANGANRONPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Intrigued about both Gravity Rush games and if the Bloodborne dlc and main game are a good price I may bite. Have been put off by how hard it might be, but I'm feeling brave!
Gravity Rush 1 and 2 on PS4, Bloodborne DLC, new Yakuza and Ni-oh making a return. And I thought they'd have nothing left to share after E3!
(In Homer voice) Ports ports ports ports, ports ports ports ports...
Still, Gravity Rush 2 looked ace, and I now want an orange Vita.
@BrizzoUK My friend you really should bite and get Bloodborne. It's superb.
I was also concerned by how hard it might be and while it is certainly not easy, it is always fair and you work ways out to progress. I'm not the most skilled gamer but I sunk about 60+ hours into it completed it! I'm also itching to go back with the DLC...
I'm so happy I did buy it and I'm sure you will be too. Best PS4 exclusive so far by a mile I'd say
Danganronpa and Gravity Rush, pretty good.
Had a quick look around the internet & i was very HAPPY about most of the stuff SONY showed Excellent stuff i think & the 'PS4 is 'more' value for money' than you know what
I think I need to give up my hopes and dreams for Freedom Wars on PS4... and any chance of a sequel.
All in all, I felt it was a really strong lineup. I'm really excited for just about everything announced! Mostly Toukiden 2
It's pretty incredible that this was just a pre-show.
Pretty good, actually. Hoping that 13 Aegis, Yakuza 6 and Dragon Quest gets localize. Nevertheless, the conference was great; they showed Danganroppa 3, Gravity Rush 2, Bloodborne expansion, Noih, Toukiden 2, I have HIGH expectations.
@NathanUC I'm quite surprised they haven't done an expanded version of Freedom Wars for the PS4 and Vita yet. It sold pretty well in Japan, after all.
it was awesome, I wonder why they can't be as awesome at E3, if half of the announced titles get localized, Microsoft would be doomed
Gravity Rush Remastered + 2
Yakuza Remake + 6
Kingdom Hearts II.8
King of Fighters XIV
Hot Shots Golf
SaGa for Vita
Project Setsuna
Hatsune Miku VR
and I don't think that's even all the awesome things that were announced
@Dodoo Yeah I think it's now a matter of when I buy tbh, I think I'll wait until the quiet period early next year, well that is until they do some discount and I go all in straight away! I'm not a bad gamer (but nowhere near great!) and I'm more determined than I used to be, so I'll catch a good sale and be on it!
@BrizzoUK Well enjoy it when you do take the plunge!
Also (I presume you're from the UK judging by your name) SimplyGames often do very good prices on PS4 so worth checking them out when the time comes.
Currently the console is only £269! (http://www.simplygames.com/p/sony-playstation-4-console-ps4 - though the black one is out of stock at the moment.)
@Dodoo Haha yeah I am, I've actually got the console, about July time, so missed a number of good games to catch up on... Never really played much in the last gen so I got so much to catch up on (lost the patience and I got caught in the FIFA loop for years!). I want to play the uncharted collection before 4 comes out, I'm very tempted to buy Witcher as a download in the current deal (massive game like that I'll more likely complete as a DL), playing through MGSV and I play most Nintendo games (thankfully bar Xenoblade there isn't many long ones due out!!). If only I didn't have a job, I might get through them all!
@BrizzoUK Haha yeah I know the feeling of too many games, I'm in the same boat with a big backlog (though not much on Wii U at the mo, can't wait for Xenoblade/Zelda), but it's a good problem to have I suppose!
Anyway, sorry I didn't realise you had the console already. Not sure why I assumed that!?!
@Matroska agreed, was thinking the same thing, it IS just a pre-show announcement
Overall I'm really happy with this line-up alone, quite a few things I didn't expect or had even begun dreaming about. Hot Shots golf and new Vanillaware for 2 systems, that alone had me beaming. Then GR remaster n' GR2 finally, ace ace ace etc
@get2sammyb yeah agreed, FW for the PS4 to try to better on the original and have something in the genre to really compete with Monster Hunter, japan aswell and the west
Edit: maybe alot of Japan Studio's been locked up doing GR re and GR2 so FW2 will eventually come to the PS4, deep down I believe it will.
Hmm didn't even know Kingdom Hearts X existed at all, seems alright so sweeet It'll be included in KH2.8 imo
@Dodoo Haha no worries. Yeah with the likes of Fallout coming out soon as well there's some crazy long games... I'm gonna have to put some off!
Good overall. It would have been very good if they announced gt7. Xbox already made 3 Forza title, what is Sony waiting?
Ok, I believe that I will need a PS4 soon, XD, with Hatsune Miku Project Diva X and Project Future, King of Fighters XIV and more in the way, well, it is time, XD
I thought the conference ran at a nice pace but the games shown were crap.
Kingdom Hearts being pimped out with all kinds of dodgy numbers after it, Project Diva X is just a poor mans parappa the rappa, king of fighters looked terrible and hot shots was wii sports resort but even worse. E3 was a billion times better.
