Famitsu teases big PS4 announcement for TGS

Recommended Posts

 

Hirokazu Hamamura—former Weekly Famitsu editor-in-chief, current president of Enterbrain, and director of Kadokawa Group Holdings, Kadokawa Group Publishing, Kadokawa Games, and Walker Books—teased a major PlayStation 4 announcement coming at the Tokyo Game Show said to help get the system on its feet in Japan.

 

The tease came during YouTube Gamers’ Day, a seminar event held in Roppongi Hills’ YouTube Space Tokyo yesterday.

Here’s the snippet from Famitsu’s report on the event:

 

With game platforms being enormously popular in North America and Europe, PlayStation 4 is being supported with major content. In Japan, on the other hand, PlayStation 4′s uprush isn’t very good. Released in February instead of the year-end shopping season, the system sold 320,000 units at launch, which is by no means a bad number. However, even now total sales are at 640,000, which cannot be compared to the sales momentum from North America and Europe. Of course, as a characteristic of the Japanese market, mobile games are by far the leading trade, “but I heard from a major game maker that they’re going to have a big announcement around the time of the Tokyo Game Show that should help the system’s growth.” (Quoted from Hamamura).

 

Tokyo Game Show runs from September 18 to 21.

Knowing it's too early to get my hopes up, I'm hoping it's FFXV... Then again, it might even happen... But it didn't even name the company, so maybe they didn't even mean Square and even if it was Square it might just be another HD remix or something.

I hope it's FFXV! xD

HOPEFULLY it's something EXCLUSIVE that won't be somewhere else,cuz my brother already bought an Xbox One and unless this game is exclusive to the Ps4,then nothing would prevent me from getting the Xbox One version if it existed....which is exactly what I'll be doing with KH3 and FFXV

I love how everyone jumps to the conclusion that it's FF or KH. There's nothing in here that even hints that this is an announcement from Square.

 

Haha. I know right. I do assume it's third-party, but it could be nearly anything.
