Итоги конференции Sony в рамках выставки Tokyo Game Show 2016

It would seem that only the other day Sony held an event in honor of the announcement of two new models of the PlayStation 4 game console, and now the largest Japanese game exhibition Tokyo Game Show has begun. Of course, the Japanese giant will tell us about new video games for their platforms. Keep in mind that this Asian exhibition is replete with video games that are specific to the local market, which can easily alienate or even amuse Western and European players. Nevertheless, among all this variety of colors and insanity, there are really worthy games.

After the review video, which featured all major releases of the autumn, the director of the Japanese division PlayStation got up on the stage and reminded the audience that the PlayStation 4 Pro console with a higher performance and HDR function is about to be available for sale.

We were shown a bundle consisting of PS4 Pro and Final Fantasy XV games. The surface of the console shows the moon and the logo of the game. This bandle will be called Lunar Edition. We remind you that the game FF XV was moved to November 29 to tighten the optimization and improve it in all respects.

Despite the fact that The Last Guardian moved from October to early December, here's another Japanese trailer for this great game.

The new thriller of the Gundam series with the subtitle Versus for the PlayStation 4 is likely to go multi-million in Japan. Too this series has a huge army of fans.

And here is the long-awaited collection of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. It will include a HD-remake of the game Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, the game Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage, as well as the cinematic history of Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover.

The continuation of the unusual role-playing game Nier Automata will be released on February 23, 2017.

The third game of the Danganronpa series will go on sale in January next year.

The insanely popular Hot Shots Golf golf simulator from Japan Studio will go on sale for the PlayStation 4 console in the summer of 2017.

A little crazy Japanese action movie Earth Defense Forces 5 will tell us about how the giant insects attacked the ground. Arachnophobes will be especially pleased with this game.

Board game Fortune Street will unite the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy universes and will be released in 2017 for PS4 and PlayStation Vita. The game itself was not shown, but only announced.

KOEI Tecmo, in addition to reminding about the huge number of clones of its endless Dynasty Warriors, officially transferred the release of the game Nioh on February 9, 2017, and also showed footage from the game Musou Stars, which intersects the characters of the RPG series Atelier, action Ninja Gaiden and their other popular series. More about the game we were promised to tell before the end of this year.

The advertising video PlayStation VR again shows us how great it is to be right inside the video game.

But this game is simply bound to become a hit not only in Japan, but also abroad. Although I'm not sure that it is localized for Western countries. Summer Lesson is a dating simulator with girls (maybe with guys to please the girls-gamers). But do not expect any frankness from him - everything is chaste and romantic in the game. In Japan, the game will go on sale on October 13 this year. The authors of the Tekken series are behind the creation of the project.

Quite a strange role-playing game for virtual reality from Japan Studio and Acquire. Its name translates into English roughly like V! You're Pretty Cheeky For a Hero R.

By the 20th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, there will be a special VR-concert of Japanese j-rock musicians from the group L'Arc-en-Ciel, which can be watched in Sony's VR-headsets. The members of the group were carefully scanned and using modern technologies will be inside the CG-clip Do not Be Afraid, which can also be viewed through the PlayStation VR. In general, Sony is placing great emphasis on transferring popular Japanese music to virtual reality. I think that this venture is doomed to success.

We also showed that with the help of VR it will be possible to be inside the application anywhere VR, which is a kind of relaxation hub with built-in social applications. You can be in the middle of a flowering meadow, while you will be able to access messages from your smartphone and other useful features.

An additional wave of pre-orders on the PlayStation VR will open on September 24. Since the demand for the headset was much higher than what was planned in Sony, it was necessary to order the Chinese manufacturers an additional batch of devices. This will be the last chance for those who did not have time to pre-order earlier. In Japan, starting from October 13, the headset will be sold in more than 200 stores and retail chains throughout the country.

The new project of the studio Platinum Games is a very beautiful role-playing game Granblue Fantasy: Project Re: Link. The game will support VR and will be released in 2018. There will also be released an addition to the game for smartphones, which will interact with the console version.

On the stage, Hideo Kojima rose. He works on Death Stranding for PS4 and PC, which will become a game with the open world, uniting players among themselves. Nothing fundamentally new, he did not show, but shared with the audience information that his team is actively working on the development, and the final result should surprise and please all without exception fans.

But Sony sees the future of the brand PlayStation. The company, for example, plans to open cinemas and entertaining parks for children under its own brand in Japan, hold various championships and national competitions, and much, much more.


In general, nothing extraordinary in the framework of the event was shown or told. At the moment, Sony already has enough worries, because on the nose of the world launch of just two devices: PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation VR. And this, as you know, is not easy and very expensive. It should be understood that the announcements of new games mainly take place within the framework of the E3 exhibition and the December event PlayStation Experience. The presentation with the premiere of a new PS4 commercial was completed.
