Other than that, very few details concerning the story for the next Ys game have been released, but you can check out the announcement trailer below. Currently this Ys title is set to be released in Japan sometime in 2015.
Many fans of Nippon Ichi Software’s staple franchise, Disgaea, have been eagerly waiting for the next numbered title in the series and today that announcement came during Sony’s press conference.

Little to no details have been revealed for the game as of yet outside of the fact that it is set to be released in Japan sometime next year.

Today during their press conference Sony announced that they are working on a new Hot Shots Golf, also known as Everybody’s Golf, game for the PlayStation 4 that they are currently calling the “New Minigol Project.”
During the announcement they went on to say that they want to not only make this title a game where players will be able to play golf, but also one where they can build their own golf resort and possibly even their own courses as they wish to make the title more of a “social game.” You can check out the announcement video which features some footage of the in-game environment below.
After revealing a number of PlayStation Vita games, Sony revealed during their press conference this morning that they upcoming Vita system update 3.30 will feature “Themes.” These themes will be available for purchase through the PlayStation Store and although no price was announced, the company did show off themes for games such as Freedom Wars, Danganronpa: Another Episode, and Phantasy Star Nova.
While Vita owners could freely order their icons and change backgrounds at will, these themes will change the images of system icons as well as the music that plays on the menu screen. Currently it is unknown if this feature will be included in the update for Western countries.
We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming PS Vita game Danganronpa: Another Episode but unfortunately most of it has been in the form of screenshots or scans from Famitsu. As such when Sony took the time during their press conference this morning to show off some brand new gameplay footage for the game, fans of the series were quite pleased.
However if you happened to miss the trailer, which features gameplay footage as well as some anime cutscenes, you can still check it out below, though it is worth noting that it does feature some minor spoilers concerning the first game in the series.

You can check out the teaser trailer that was shown during the event below.
While Sony was highlighting a number of their upcoming PlayStation Vita titles during their pre Tokyo Game Show press conference, the company happened to give us a look at Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 and in this trailer we also were treated to the release date for the game. As such, Koei Tecmo is currently planning on releasing this game in Japan on December 4th.
It is worth noting that this game is not a PS Vita exclusive and is also heading to the 3DS, and it is also worth mentioning that, at the moment, no Western release for the game has been announced.
Today during Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference, one of the first videos shown off to viewers was for a new Spike Chunsoft game that just so happens to be one of the company’s oldest series. The company revealed that they are releasing a new Way of the Samurai for the PlayStation Vita.
A very short teaser trailer for the game was released and can be found below. At the moment however no release date or even an exact name has been given at this time. It is also worth noting that the last Way of the Samurai game, shown above, was released in the West courtesy of XSEED Games in North America and NIS America in Europe.
Many people have wondered what type of graphics and character models Koei Tecmo could pull off with Dead or Alive 5 if it was released on next-gen consoles and it seems that we will soon find out.
Today Koei Tecmo has announced that they will be bringing Dead or Alive 5 to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One under the name Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. Currently the game is set to be released in Japan for Spring 2015 but other than that, very few details have been released.
A bit of a teaser trailer was released, which can be found below, and it happens to feature footage of Marie Rose, Nyotengu, and Phase-5, hopefully meaning that all of these DLC characters, and hopefully many of the previously released costume DLC, will be included in the release.
