The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is fast approaching and although much of the programming of what we are going to see is known, you can rest assured that there will remain some surprises. Let's see what we hope to see at TGS this year.
Parallel content for the remake of Final Fantasy VII
Although Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced at E3 2015, we did not see much of the game compared to other AAA games.
We've seen character revelations, battles, and iconic story moments, but we have not really seen what the secondary content in the game would look like.
Since the remake was split into several parts, Square Enix has declared that the first part of the game would only take place in Midgar. They also said that each part would be the length of a complete game, and since it is a JRPG, you can assume that each part will be quite long.
So, considering that in the original game, the Midgar section is not the length of a full game, Square Enix will have to add a lot to this remake to be able to fill all the parts? What could it be? Side quests, mini-games, dungeons?
The new trailer that started today has given some interesting moments to our story, but we want to see other things that we will do when we do not save the world and fight against Sephiroth.
Shin Megami Tensei V
Atlus will make an appearance at TGS but has only confirmed the depictions of Persona 5 Royale and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. However, they have another game in the works that has been announced and which they have never heard of since is Shin Megami Tensei V.
The game was revealed in 2017, when the Nintendo Switch was unveiled for the first time. Since, although many E3 and Nintendo Direct are used, no one has heard of the game yet.
The fans beg at this stage to see some of this game, but it's been a radio silence for over 2 years.
Atlus is currently promoting Persona 5 Royale intensively, so they do not want to distract fans from SMT V. If this is not the time to show more of this game, when is it the good time?
A surprise from the Sonic franchise
Sega will be present at TGS this year with games like Yakuza 7, Phantasy Star Online 2 and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD. But a new Sonic game could really be a show.
Since the release of Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces in 2017, there have been no Sonic 2D or 3D main games. To be honest, this year alone, we got the Sonic Racing team and Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo Olympics will be released in November, but 2020 is wide open for a main Sonic game.
A sequel to Sonic Mania would be great, but who knows if Sega will let Christian Whitehead (the director of Sonic Mania who was previously a great player in the Sonic Rom / Hacking community) play with them another game.
Considering that Mania was very well reviewed and sold, it would be surprising if the game was not followed by a sequel. Can we see him at this year's TGS? We hope so.
A Konami classic
There is no doubt that Konami is in a unique situation since his bad break with Hideo Kojima. Some of their most popular franchises, such as Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill and Castlevania, have not been very successful (although the Castlevania Netflix series is an absolute masterpiece).
The fate of Metal Gear seems to be very much in suspense, so everyone will guess what's going on with this franchise, but Silent Hill & Castlevania are still on the table.
Yes, we have not heard of the Silent Hill series for a long time, but Konami is definitely interested in the resurgence of the horror genre of survival with games like Resident Evil 2 Remake, Five Nights At Freddy & # 39. Outlast and Dead By. Day light.
With this revival of the ongoing horror, it would be very smart for Konami to bring back the Silent Hill franchise significantly.
Castlevania, on the other hand, has always managed to stay relevant, especially in the last two years. With the Netflix series, Simon & Richter being included in Smash, and the Castlevania anniversary collection, the series has undoubtedly always caught the attention of readers.
But the show has not had a main game since 2014 and it would be really nice to explore Dracula's castle in beautiful HD. We hope that one of these two franchises will make an appearance at TGS 2019.
