Another game exhibition, Tokyo Game Show 2017 , passed almost imperceptibly, as if she was not. It is understandable: the event is oriented mainly on the Japanese, loud announcements rarely happen there, and not everyone is ready to go to cover this event.
But this does not mean at all that nothing fascinating happened on TGS 17. And about the most interesting thing that was there, we will now tell you.
Much of what was on TGS, European players will seem wild.
Main
The holiday started even before the exhibition: before the start of TGS, the conference was held Sony. And although it also did not happen on her truly important, the most curious events happened there.
Poster of the game. The MGS style is recognized almost immediately.
The main thing that the Japanese rolled out is the announcement of a completely new project Left Alive. Comrades such as Tosifumi Nabesima (gamer director, worked on the game Armored Core), Yoji Sinkama (artist, painted characters and equipment for some parts Metal Gear) and Shinji Hasimoto (producer, behind him, if that, Final Fantasy).
And the spirit Metal Gear Solid , It should be noted that it is felt literally at a glance – starting from the cover. Those for a few seconds of the gameplay that they managed to show us are called in the memory of ** The Phantom Pain ** with its balancing between stealth and shootings. Visual style is also largely similar to the MGS style, and robots will perform the main opponents.
True, the similarity ends: the main characters will be already three pieces, in addition to the action, the elements of the “survivors” will appear, with a craft of weapons, nonlinearity and traps, and the events will unfold “somewhere in snowy Russia”. The game is far from new setting, the project is part of the Universe of the series Front Mission, The familiar world will simply show a completely different prospect.
Nothing more about Left Alive is not known. But it will come out next year – on PS4 And PC. Then we will find out everything!
How intelligent the novelty will be difficult to say, but it is intriguing in appearance.
Another noticeable event from the Sony conference is a good portion of information about Monster Hunter: World, interested in many at the past E3. The developers demonstrated a collection publication and reported the date of the project output. It will be possible to start adventures on January 26, 2018-on PS4 and Xbox One-but the date of the PC release is not yet known.
But the most important thing is a solid piece of new gameplay, which was shown a little later. In it you can see half an hour of the game, a little plot and different chips of the editor of the characters. The new Monster Hunter looks, of course, very “in Japanese”, and in some places it resembles pain Dark Souls. But a bright style and the opportunity to fight with huge monsters in the company of friends, no matter what, attract.
New Monster Hunter trailer. However, if an endless crackling does not bother you, you can see a full presentation.
Another relatively large and new project announced at the conference – Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. Few have heard about this series, but it has many games in which brave soldiers in heavy combat suits fight giant beetles. And in Iron Rain we have to do the same. It turns out “stupid, but fun”, as Western journalists describe the process.
Iron Rain looks very so-so: technologically Earth Defense Force remained somewhere last decade.
Who else pleased Sony is the classics lovers. They were waiting for a trailer and several new screenshots from a remake Shadow of the Colossus , The news of the release Final Fantasy IX on PS4 (so far, however, only in Japan), as well as Zone of the enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars.
The latter is the return of the cult game, to which Hideo Kojima once had a hand. True, the matter did not come to a full -fledged remake, but they promise to well update the graphics, voice acting, add 4K and VR support – in history about robots it will definitely be in place.
Schadow of the Colossus reprints real masters from Bluepoint (cm. Their trilogy Uncharted), so not only the picture will convert in the remake, but also much more. For example, management.
There were time at the conference and for several trailers of completely new projects. So, they showed a little Ni No Kuni 2 And the Japanese video Detroit: Become Human (The latter, however, does not carry anything new in itself). And someone will probably like a new video on Code Vein, The next clone of the Souls series with pronounced Asian features (like anime characters).
First Ni No Kuni was not without flaws, but still remained a real beautiful fairy tale.
Everything else
After, within the framework of the main show, several more curious events took place. But all of them in importance inferior to what they showed Sony. At least for a European player.
So, developers Final Fantasy XVshared plans and further release free additions that will “expand and finish” the history of the project. Moreover, attempts to adapt the game under Nintendo Switch , But for now, to transfer a full -fledged version to the portable console, developers are not able to.
People responsible for Ni-OH, announced the "full" edition of action with all additions ( Dragon of the North , Defiant Honor And BloodShed ), it will come out on November 7. The date, however, is relevant only for https://harry-s-casino.co.uk/ the digital version – the disks will have to wait until December 7. But for those who have not yet had time to touch one of the best games of the year, the news is definitely pleasant.
It is difficult to say how much Zone of the Enders will be in demand now, but in VR it will probably look interesting.
A little new information appeared for fans Fire Emblem Warriors, which will be released in Europe on October 20. So, the publisher said when to wait for additions. There will be three of them: one will appear at the end of the year, the other – in winter, and the final one in the spring. Someone will be pleased to know that the list of fighters, among other things, will replenish Tiki and Sid from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.
IN Atlus reported when to wait for news about fresh Shin Megami Tensei , which is created for Nintendo Switch. In short, not long: until October 23. A Koei Tecmo They said that they were Attack on Titan 2 will be released in Japan "somewhere in the beginning of 2018". And in Europe, if it appears, then a little later.
There were a lot of new demonstrations. So, for example, you can look at the gameplay Dynasty Warriors 9 or to the gameplay Yakuza Kiwami 2. Well, of course, there were not without traditional Japanese amusements like trailers role IS It Wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? Infinite Combate and a dite simulator Happy Manager , playing yourself understand what topics.
Something like this, almost without surprises, and the main event of the game industry in Japan took place. However, it’s not scary: in early December, Sony will hold a separate show, where he will surely show more interesting projects. Well, autumn will be rich in events: very soon a real flurry of releases awaits us.
And we, of course, will keep you up to date with all events!
