Here's everything from PlayStation Japan's 2017 press event!
As is tradition, PlayStation kicked off Tokyo Game Show by showcasing most of its announcements days before the full show actually starts. Besides a bunch of limited-edition PS4 and PS4 Pros of varying levels of desirability, we had some remakes, a new game or two, and more Monster Hunter. Of course. Here's the best trailers from the showcase earlier today.
'Zone of the Enders' PS4 remaster adds PSVR support
It's been a while since we've seen or heard anything about Zone of the Enders. The mech classic was created by Hideo Kojima, best known for the Metal Gear series, for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. A GBA spin-off was released six months later, followed by Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner in 2003. A third console entry was considered, but eventually cancelled. Kojima might be gone (he's off doing his own thing now), but Konami has a plan to revive the franchise. The 2nd Runner is being remastered for the PS4 with enhanced graphics and PlayStation VR support. It's called Zone of the Enders: Anubis Mars and will be out in Japan next spring. Very nice.
'Neko Atsume' is coming to PlayStation VR in 2018
Neko Atsume was the smartphone hit where you collected and fed cats. That was... mostly it. It also took over the lives of several of my friends, and was huge enough to warrant a movie spin-off in Japan. Apt, then, that Tokyo Game Show is where PlayStation Japan President Atsushi Morita announced a virtual reality version of the cat... feeding.. sim (?), with no more information beyond a 2018 release date on PSVR. But, if I get to role-play as cats, then consider me intrigued.
