Tokyo Game Show 2012.... W..T...F

[Dyse]

I'm getting a little scared for gaming. Nothing remotely interesting from what I've seen and usually TGS is on par with e3. The usual no last guardian or FF VS but seriously? I was hoping for the very least Tekken vs Street Fighter (I know TTT2 just came out but still), Watch dogs, DmC, the new FFXIII. Nothing. It might be the lack of reporting but this show fell off hard. 70% of all games were mobile, too? This makes me nervous as a console owner and a gamer.

If I missed something, please fill me in.

TGS is geared towards Japan where handhelds are bigger than consoles. It was just a reflection of where gaming in Japan is

Video games died with the PS2 dude.

There were still way more announcements in the past years and way more hype. IGN, Gamespot, Kotaku, etc all had special sections, press conferences, all the glitz. This one had almost nothing.
FF X HD
ZOE HD
DmC
Ni No Kuni
DoA 5

Those are just a few off the top.

I just checked magicbox and saw a few updates on the games I mentioned but I'm still a little disappointed in this one.

I agree it was disappointing but in past years consoles were a bigger deal there. For whatever reason Japan doesn't care about consoles

DmC Devil May Cry
The Magic Box - Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Preview (Page 1 of 1)
With all that said, these are the only dope things I could find from it. I think I was looking at the wrong sources. I never saw the KH remix on Kotaku. Still no ZOE, FFX HD, Lighting returns, Smash Bros (wii u needs something imo). Take it or leave it.

Gonna be a sad day when cacs are the only ones making video games. Shame more black people dont go to school for gaming. Thats going to be the only thing that can save video games at this point.
