Sega’s TGS time schedule
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with 7th Dragon, Bayonetta, Blazer Drive, Culdcept DS, Infinite Space, Line-up, MadWorld, Project Diva, Shining Force Feather, Shiren DS 2, Yakuza 3.

The problem with going to TGS is that it feels like you are playing Dead Rising in real life, everything is timed! But thanks to Sega releasing their time schedule, we can be at their booths at the right times with extra drool.
The events will be broadcast live at Sega’s TGS site (all besides 428 and Project Diva). There will be a booth with games not on the list, that didn’t get a showing. This list is also missing surprises like Prope’s new game and a secret unannounced game (this game should be shown on the net in the next couple of days via Famitsu).
Hit the jump for the schedule
I tried to use various translators online to get the list, if there is anything wrong let me know.

Isn’t Sonic Unleashed supposed to be on this list? Maybe I’m missing something here.
Also, that is a very nice lineup. I can’t wait to hear about that unannounced game.

@ Taco Lord: I’m NOT G, I’m George :0
Nintendo Brad, yeah thats what I thought too. This is just for the event shows, so I’m assuming that it will be there just not get a event like the rest of the titles. Last I checked, Sonic games don’t sell that well in Japan … (not that many games do)

That’s a great line-up? Apart from Yakuza 3 there ins’t a descent in-house developed game.
I am not going to get excited over 7th Dragon just because of Kodama’s name.

@ George: I’m sorry, I’ll remember that. I thought you were called that for short.
I remembered when Shining Force had consistancy with their style and world, it’s way too styalized these days. That’s probably what separates it from the origional series and loses some of it’s appeal. Other than that, the system looks unique and I guess that’s what’ll sell me.

SoJ are the masters of failure.

“Kogen

Sucks to be you then… But, SoJ is a failure because you have bad taste? Somethings wrong here.

Who said anything about A listers? What about the other games? There are at least 4 that may interest me.

I sat here waiting for the ‘project DIVA’ image to load wondering
“WTF? Why is the kanji for Hatsune Miku up there?”
Then I realized I am a retard and this must be the Miku game I’ve been hearing about…but who are the long haired chicks?
