Meanwhile Sony: .

I know there is the thing they're supposed to have something at TGS but already that's basically being downtalked as a small indie presence.

Between stuff like this (supposing it results in anything further significant) and the Switch 2 rumors, I welcome the increased competition if it lights a fire under PlayStation's ass to do more with Japanese third-party devs/pubs specifically.

And for God's sake, get someone relatable out there to drown out the "all in everybody's stuff, always hogging the spotlight, always gotta be the center of attention" Good Guy Phil™ Spencer.

Does that mean final fanstasy games on gamepass?
Or is phil adding more japanese games to gamepass?

Could be both.

I'm guessing Tales of Arise heads to game pass at least.

Maybe the Kiseki games finally come to Xbox as well.

I feel like they are in a bind situation. Since their showcase, its has been shitshow for them.

Wasnt there rumor of State of Play happening this month? I wonder what PSVR2 games announcement we’ll be getting

 

[Bungie]

Loved all the showcases so far, looking forward to this considering who they recently hired.

 

[SecretAgentHam]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I’m excited to see what Team Green has up its sleeve after all their Japanese partnerships ramping up as of late. I would expect Square Enid to announce some stuff and maybe some SEGA news sprinkled in there. JSRemaster maybe?

Does PlayStation even have an executive in charge of Japan/Asia software, or does Hermen Hulst just do everything? I feel like Yoshida would've been the perfect guy for the job, in addition to managing the indie games output.

The Sony exec who joined Xbox has the Director of Japanese partnerships said "see you at TGS" in her position announcement, wonder if she's already pulling some strings and making partnership deals.

While I don't have any real knowledge on this, I'm guessing that each SIE branch (Japan, America, Europe, etc.) should have their own WWS units with their own executives, directors, etc., and Hermen Hulst oversees all of them in top of that. You asked quite an interesting question, I want to do some research on it.
