That might just be me however, and other gamers may be pleased with it. Here, take a look for yourself:
Action Games: 115 last year, 102 this year RPGs: 52 last year, 26 this year Simulation: 22 last year, 25 this year Puzzle: 59 last year, 18 this year Adventure: 13 last year, 12 this year Shooting: 10 last year, 19 this year Sports: 15 last year, 4 this year Racing: 8 last year, 8 this year Development Tool: 31 last year, 33 this year Peripherals: 28 last year, 157 this year Others: 103 last year, 226 this year
I don’t know what kind of games you are hoping to see, but I was sure disappointed that the RPG level was cut in half whereas the shooter games are going up by almost double. All I can hope is that the RPGs are only falling in number because they are having more time put into them and richer stories developed. However, when you look at the ‘peripherals’ section of the board it has jumped by over 550%! Kinect and PlayStation Move are making their mark already I suspect. But then there is also the last category which has also more than doubled its numbers, the ‘other’ category.
This category of game is what is really grabbing my attention right now. Because “other” could mean anything. Which means that I could be getting my hopes up for something awesome and be let down by it, or maybe the other category is going to hold some amazing new ideas that the gaming world has never before seen. Either way, in the midst of all these new products there has to be a few diamonds in the rough. The Tokyo Game Show is going to be a hit this year for sure!
We already know that publishers will be showcasing upcoming major titles including Front Mission Evolved, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Fallout: New Vegas so stay tuned into Game Rant during the event.
