I don't think MGS 3 will be there... or will it?

I personally think we've seen enough trailers, just release the game now :)

[Malitos_Sahkir]

Yes, I think it'll probably be there. When MGS2 was almost out 'Kojima released a whole bunch of Cinematic trailers that didn't make much sense.

Small update; a four-minute trailer for FF7: Advent Children ( DvD movie ) will be shown at the TGS.

you left out nintendo

Some of the big players showcaseing games this year will be:

Anyway... I admit I left out Nintendo, those were just names I could think of off the top of my head.

From what I've read Nintendo was barely there anyway, their only presence was with the DS. No new Zelda game, no Mario 128..

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ( PS2 ):

Gamespot's Tokyo Game Show Wrap-Up:

TOKYO--The 2004 Tokyo Game Show has come to an end. And, by all accounts, it has been a pretty exciting show.


The show was the first time that Sony PSP software has been shown in a playable form, with games like Namco's new Ridge Racer game, EA's Need for Speed Underground Rivals, Q Entertainment's Lumines, and Konami's Metal Gear Acid standing out from the pack.

But the show wasn't all positive. In what can only be described as a shocking announcement, Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that the game's online mode has been removed. The game is targeted to ship this December, and an online Gran Turismo game is now planned for release next year.

Many of the show's hotly anticipated games made return appearances from E3. Games like Halo 2, Resident Evil 4, and Metal Gear Solid 3 remained almost entirely unchanged since we saw them back in May, though in some cases, new video trailers were shown.

As always, there are a few games that seem to miss the show. Wanda and the Colossus, the upcoming game from the team behind Ico, was shown in video form only. Sony's Ape Escape game for the PSP, Saru Get You P!, was also only in limited form--in a very brief video.

For some more personal thoughts on the Tokyo Game Show, we invite you to go directly to some of the GameSpot editors that covered the show. Listen in as they recount the madness...

Jeff Gerstmann: "Yeah, hey, it's only just about completely standard for PS2 racing games to have online play. No one will miss that, I'm sure."

Altered Beast has my attention. They need to keep bringing back the classics

[Patman]

the ds was all they needed.

[krazy_marco74]

does anybody know where i can download/stream the new 4 minute FF7:AC trailer?

[Andrey83]

I was wondering about the same thing. I'm not covering TGS, a friend of mine is, so i dont know so much about it. I had E3 (which was way worse :) ).

Malitos, you know?

[Malitos_Sahkir]

I have it, same as I have the Kingdom Hearts 2 trailer, but they're direct-feeds so I haven't bothered posting them... The trailers basicly a highlight reel of the 25-minute footage shown at The Venice Film Festivel.
