Sony reveals TGS '08 lineup, 14 unannounced titles to be shown

Perhaps we'll finally get more context to Team ICO's next project, as well as its mysterious teaser image (shown above), when Sony unveils 14 unannounced titles at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show next week.

The PSP has 3 unannounced titles coming from Sony, while the PS3 gets one from Irem (developers of R-Type), one from Konami and nine from Sony. We've placed the full exhibition list after the break.

Not a hater but there's still nothing there that makes me want a PS3.

LBP would be nice, but not essential.

In other news, why won't it let me change my profile pic?

Dahk @ Sep 30th 2008 12:19PM

Yeah =/ profile pics are brokz0red for me too.

I've been stuck on Patapon... since... Patapon friggin' came out lol.

required @ Sep 30th 2008 12:41PM

you do realize that 14 are unannounced (as in not listed) right?

Heh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:43PM

iirc, it can only be changed in firefox.

StalkerB @ Sep 30th 2008 12:53PM

FF is full of win!

And I do realise 14 are unnanounced, I expect them to be equally tepid.

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Sep 30th 2008 12:56PM

"And I do realise 14 are unnanounced, I expect them to be equally tepid."

Sounds a bit like a fanboy to me. I'd personally would like to see what Sony's unvieling.

Mr Khan @ Sep 30th 2008 12:56PM

Slowpoke man is right. Joystiq is very incompatible with Internet Explorer. Site runs buggy, downvoted comments don't get grayed out, and pretty much every reply button you click has an even chance of just refreshing the page

RD @ Sep 30th 2008 12:57PM

That's how I feel about the 360. The only thing it has that I want is Lost Odyssey.

atrimus @ Sep 30th 2008 1:10PM

agreed Heh. it's hard NOT to assume that had one word in the article (Sony) been replaced by another (either Microsoft or Nintendo), StalkerB would've been extatic. it's one thing to feel neutral about unannounced games, it's quite another to have low expectations about them, especially when the possibilities could be follow-ups to Shadow of the Colossus, Dark Cloud, Suikoden or ZOE.

Haggard (steam: haggard_dawn, PSN: HaggyWaggy) @ Sep 30th 2008 1:18PM

Took me about 4 months get a profile pic.. I don't know, but does them being the same height as width (in pixels) help at all? That's the first and only one I've managed to get up.

TheAzureKnight @ Sep 30th 2008 1:22PM

@ StalkerB

Just wait until.....

(You fill in the gap with w/e project sony fanboys are claiming will save the ps3 now)

I'm sure whatever Team ICO is working on will make them cream their pants so they at least have that to look forward to.

Maverick Saturn @ Sep 30th 2008 2:10PM

Azure, go and bury your head in the sand again ¬_¬

Matt @ Sep 30th 2008 3:16PM

12 unannounced titles on any platform is good news.
however, i am curious to find out how many of those 12 games will find a home in the US and EU markets...?
this is TGS and sony always makes a lot of japan only exclusives.

Frostfell @ Sep 30th 2008 12:05PM

Uncharted 2!

xFenixKnightx (Mr ESC Resurrection Force) @ Sep 30th 2008 12:56PM

I hope so!

Neptune @ Sep 30th 2008 1:16PM

The Sony published unannounced titles are by SCEJ, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Oct 1st 2008 7:45PM

ah shit. didnt notice that SCEJ was publishing ALL of them. that pretty much rules out God of War 3 as well (but i guess it's already technically announced anyway.)

Chin-Poh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:06PM

I don't care if their remakes, but please remakes of Shadow of the Colossus and FF7! : )

hey_big_dck psn:fuliano626 @ Sep 30th 2008 12:15PM

if there should be any remixes it should be ff6 and legend of dragoon along with your pick

The Angry Emu @ Sep 30th 2008 12:16PM

FF7, really? A sequel would be good, but a pure remake would not be good. FF7 was superb for a console RPG in '98, but it's starting to show its age.

I suppose a FF7 remake would be WAY better than a FF8 remake, though.

343 Guilty Fart @ Sep 30th 2008 12:16PM

Shadow the Colossus pleeze.

B @ Sep 30th 2008 12:34PM

SoC? Yes, please.
Can't even imagine how gorgeous it would look on the PS3

Chin-Poh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:47PM

Nevermind, I'd rather have a remake of FF6, I never even beat FF7, for some reason stopped playing 1/3 of the way.

Sheppy (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Sep 30th 2008 1:17PM

Of all the FF's that demand a remake, FFVII deserves it the most. Why? FFVII was an inconsistant mess. Some parts have textures, some don't. Some sequences use particles, some don't. Even the art style in the cutscenes themselves are inconsistant. FFVII stood as a groundbreaking RPG in that it told us what COULD be done with 3D in an era where everyone else was still wrapping their minds around "Wait... you mean I can apply a SPRITE to this polygon and give it COLOR?!?." As such, the entire game is plagued with you being able to tell EXACTLY how far in development certain sequences were created. No other FF game is soo racked with a sense of inconsistancy or lack of world coherence as FFVII. It remains a technical blemish to the great series.

Duke @ Sep 30th 2008 5:40PM

I hope for a Shadow of the Colossus sequel. As far as a FF remake goes, I can't get too excited for that.

#28 @ Oct 1st 2008 12:54AM

I'm still pissed off with Collosus' ending. Really, I kept praising it for being wise for sticking without a story. I didn't want some odd tie in with Ico. Sigh.
Still, those last three enemies were very fun.

Dirty @ Sep 30th 2008 12:07PM

That picture just makes me think "it puts the lotion in the basket".

Lone Starr @ Sep 30th 2008 12:24PM

In your case, the lotion should be put in a bucket. ;)

Popfrogs @ Sep 30th 2008 7:37PM

Nooo they be takin my lotion!

Ethan @ Sep 30th 2008 12:12PM

I'm going to count how many have release dates, and whether what they show has any resemblance to how an actual game would be.

On the other hand, doesn't a TGS showing often mean playability? I definitely want to see LBP and Wii Music there, just to see what on earth actual members of the public end up doing with it.

Zachary Hinchliffe @ Sep 30th 2008 12:15PM

"Guitar Hero Legend of Rock"??

Heh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:48PM

Guitar Hero: Legend of Rock is a sequel to GH3 and will be exclusive to the Playstation 3. I will feature only one playable character, Kaz "Krazy" Hirai, as you play through various arenas and gigs aiming to be the very best..like no one ever was.

It will also include that gimmicky as shit song creator.

Nigeria @ Sep 30th 2008 12:16PM

What's Sonic World Adventure?

samfish @ Sep 30th 2008 12:42PM

Sonic Unleashed in Japan.

Kevin @ Sep 30th 2008 12:17PM

Hopefully they will release not racing games for PS3. It's sorely lacking in RPGs at the moment.

Emceay @ Sep 30th 2008 12:49PM

Was excited about some, but Way of the Samurai 3 surprised me. Can't wait for that.

Yar TTomlliw @ Sep 30th 2008 12:21PM

Fasten your seatbelts. 9 in-house games from Sony yet to be announced? I predict a bombshell. :)

The Angry Emu @ Sep 30th 2008 12:21PM

Personally the most exciting one to me is Lumines Supernova. Maybe Lumines will get the true sequel that it deserves. That game swallowed my soul at the PSP launch. I would love a great PS3 version.

D_Average @ Sep 30th 2008 12:35PM

I hoping one of them is a new Wipeout that takes place in the Midwest.

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 30th 2008 12:35PM

It's safe to assume one of those unannounced titles is the new team ico game, but for what I'm hoping for is another Dark Cloud.

About 10 or 11 new ps3 games to announce. TGS= Japan show. Level 5= big in Japan. Dark Cloud= RPG.

Make it happen Sony and Level 5.

Heh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:49PM

I don't know if I can trust level 5 with another game after Lair. :(

tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 30th 2008 12:51PM

erm...that was factor 5 :P

Heh @ Sep 30th 2008 12:52PM

Excuse me while I lol at myself then.

riggs @ Sep 30th 2008 8:59PM

heh's @ heh

HB96st @ Sep 30th 2008 12:45PM

A Lot of those games are dropping on the 360 also= Still not worth getting a ps3.

It's also a shame that they got rid of BC. I just picked up FFXII too.. Bring back BC, and it's just possible I'll use my Wii as a down payment.

Ahh, I'll just wait for the new psp.. sony refuses to listen to anyone but them old-ass execs that think they know it all.. I'll just keep the ps2 plugged up.

HighFiveJesus @ Sep 30th 2008 12:48PM

thnx for sharing

Emceay @ Sep 30th 2008 12:50PM

I was in the store with the choice of a 360 and PS3, Naruto broke the tie and I sided with PS3. Couldn't be happier. Xbox needs a portable.

Heh (Mr. ESC, living in the hearts of us all) @ Sep 30th 2008 12:57PM

"Naruto broke the tie"

Interesting choice in games, you have.

MN Guy @ Sep 30th 2008 1:12PM

9 of the unannounced titles are from Sony, so xbox won't be getting all of them.

9 unannounced 1st party games seems suspiciously high. I wonder how many of those will be PSN titles, remakes, casual, very early in development, etc.

In any case, it looks like TGS should be a big showing for Sony if even half of the unanounced list consists of ambitious titles.
