The next Tokyo Game Show will be taking place from September 15 to 18, and in preparation of the event SEGA have launched a new website detailing their lineup of games. At the moment, the websites lists Yakuza 6, Valkyria; Azure Revolution, Puyo Puyo Chronicle and Persona 5, all of which will be playable at the event.
During the Sony Tokyo Game Show conference we got to see a short trailer for the PS4 version of Phantasy Star Online 2. While the quality of the video isn’t the best, some people are noticing an upgrade in terms of graphics compared to the PC version. It’ll be interesting to see if the PS4 engine does indeed deliver better graphics compared to the PC version running on its highest settings, and whether or not those improvements will make their way back to the PC version. I wish I had some good news to share regarding the NA/EU release, but sadly SEGA still doesn’t want to talk about it. While they explained the delay for Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice on their official blog today, the reason for the delay of Phantasy Star Online 2 is still unknown. Suffice to say, the franchise and its fans deserve better than that. But for now, you can check out the trailer for the PS4 version below (posted by Youtube user XCageGame)!
During a NicoNico Live stream, Toshihiro Nagoshi (the man behind Daytona USA and more recently the Yakuza games) said that he’s anxious for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show where Sega will be announcing a new title. While Nagoshi didn’t reveal details about the title, it’s expected that this will be an original game from the same team that developed the Yakuza titles. Nagoshi also mentioned that he thinks that “Sega’s live showing at Tokyo Game Show will be the most exciting one we’ve seen in a while”. We’ll find out soon enough if that’s the case, as the Tokyo Game Show starts in a few weeks from now, on September 17!
What do you think it will be?
