Well if that continues they should have stayed in Leipzig. Because there everybody went and stayed...

TheLeprachaun5791d ago (Edited 5791d ago )

Well no they shouldn't have stayed in Leipzig. They're trying to make Gamescom as important (or more import than) E3, so they need the bigger and better venue.

For all these companies skipping Gamescom, just as many are pledging support. It seems to be mostly Japanese companies skipping GC, probably because it's closish to TGS time wise.

portablegaming5791d ago

And why should Cologne be a better choice? Then they should have gone do Hanover where the CeBIT is and that would had have impact.

GWAVE5791d ago

It just goes to show all you people after E3 who said "wait for Gamescom! You'll see!" are silly.

mastiffchild5791d ago

Dunno, but Nintendo had stopped showing much a while back and eventually didn't bother at all with shows in the EU. We EU residents have to accept that none of the companies really care as much about us as they do the US OR, lord knows why, Japan.

Look at the state of SCEE, look at the relative services ansd goods on offer on the PSN/Live in the EU and elsewhere, look at the dates we get our games, look at the prices we pay for EVERYTHING. The gaming industry treats us like crap-no wonder they don't want to face us! The annoying bit is that we're a massive market(the UK alone is the third biggest market in the world now)and produce a vast quantity of talent in development as well. I honestly think that companies like Capcom not bothering with Games Con is a massive slap in the face to those EU gamers who've supported them both this and other generations. Appearing should NEVER be seen solely as a way to show off new stuff(lord knows there are better ways to get your game info to people than at conference shows like this anyway)but also as a way to say thankyou to gamers for keeping them in a job.

Sadly, some companies just don't think we deserve any of their precious time despite us keeping them in work. The lack of desire to serve the EU is nothing short of insulting and really we should make it known that we don't much like it. Seriously, why is this OK? Sony are among the worst for snubbing the EU through their specially formed ineptitude branch at SCEE and even they bother with GC more than this!

MazzingerZ5791d ago

not many have enough content to fill the 3 big conventions, SONY has no problems with that...they will show easily 50% new content not present in E3 and at TGS another new 50% of fresh news...SCA, SCEE, SCEJ are 3 different monsters

I doubt they will show the Nintendo 3DS there then. If everybody leaves the show. Or maybe the just all give Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft the stuff and say, present this at your booth...

al-burrito5791d ago

fail... gamescom is more important than TGS i think.

True. When you think that a lot of politicians in Europe still think video games are just pure evil, these events show that it is not like that, but it lives from the support of the developers. Gamers need it! We are not bad!

Spenok5791d ago

I think thats more of an opinion. Some people think the most important event is E3 or GDC, or TGS or whatever really. I think it all comes down to the demographic that the developers are trying to aim at with each conference. TGS is more japanese games or RPGS and such. For my TGS is usually the most important.

guzman5791d ago

NYC Gamer: You're right, TGS needs more Mountain Dew, cheeseburgers and braindead Fps games to offer anything of interest to western gamers.

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy64d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher65d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

thesoftware73065d ago

1Victor,

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

KyRo64d ago

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

darthv7264d ago (Edited 64d ago )

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

1Victor64d ago

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.
.
@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

bsingle4064d ago

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher65d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

gold_drake65d ago

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.
