We're
barely three weeks away from what could be the world's biggest game
expo after the E3 downsizing of 2007. Yup, it's an event most of us
would love to be in: The Tokyo Game Show 2007!It's no secret that TGS has always been the Far East's answer to E3 in terms of big announcements and sneak peeks of exciting projects. If there's a shindig that the big game publishers are saving their aces for, this one has to be it. Here's a short list of just some of the stuff we expect to see. Feel free to add your own wishes at the comments, though, because we're sure you have some big ideas of your own: 1. An apparition of Final Fantasy XIII - Square Enix was mum on this big PlayStation 3 project in E3 and even in during GC 2007 in Germany. Could they be saving the best for the year's last huge show? They better be because we're all aching to see more than just screenshots. A new trailer and some details would be terrific. 2. More of Wii Fit - There's no doubt that the most anticipated release for the fastest-selling console in history is next year's exercise game Wii Fit and its accessory, the Balance Board. We saw a bit of this with Reggie Fils-Aime in E3 and we can expect a bit more for the Japanese crowd. 3. More Metal Gear Solid 4/ Metal Gear Online teasers - You know a big game is about to hit when its PR machine is getting noisier by the day. We've been seeing new MGS4 trailers from Santa Monica to Leipzig and it would be almost a travesty if its hometown Tokyo doesn't get one. Also, the multiplayer MGS Online is looking hot and we won't be surprised if there are more details soon. 4. A big Halo 3 showing - So maybe the Halo franchise isn't quite as big in Japan as it is here in the US, but with the TGS just a few days away from the big game's Japanese release, is there any reason why Microsoft should hold back? The game, as we all know, is already at gold status, so expect it to be shown off in full force. More of our wishes and expectations after the jump! |

The Wii Remote has been credited with the phenomenal success that the Nintendo Wii has had since its launch. With its innovative motion-sensing capabilities, casual gamers were drawn in and the market was expanded to what it is today. Hardcore fans and pundits may not fully understand what the deal is, but everyone concedes to the fact that the idea sells.On the other hand, Sony finds itself trailing behind in sales even with the technical superiority of its PlayStation 3 game console. Loaded with a Cell processor and a Blu-ray drive, the PS3 is the state of the art machine in today's gaming scene. Sony, however, hopes to turn the tides with a price cut, a strong upcoming line-up of games and a new accessory called the PlayStation Eye. The PlayStation Eye, in essence, is a digital camera attachable to the PS3. It can recognize visual patterns, as exhibited with the game Eye of Judgement, and can sense movements and distance in a 3D space. That, according to Sony, gives it more potential than a Wiimote. "All of the different Eye-Toy games that we've made so far and the wide range [of gameplay] that we have delivered shows that the camera isn't the key device, it's what we do with it that's important," says Eye of Judgement director Kazuhiko Miyaki. In the game, players use the PlayStation Eye with electronic cards to summon monsters. It never misses a beat as it can distinguish all 150 cards perfectly and can even tell how far they are and what their tilt angles are. There's no doubt that the PlayStation Eye is a remarkable accessory that can spell big success for the games that take advantage of it. The only question now is whether or not developers will have the initiative to create games that will define its capabilities. Will we see a controller revolution where the PS3 and the Wii will fight fire with fire? For that, we'll have to wait and see. |
