onAXIS TGS 2007 Predictions: What Came True

Well, before the start of the game show, we posted some predictions for the show, more than predictions, mostly hopes (grins). Anyway, whatever came true will not be striked out.

• Final Fantasy VII Remake will be announced along with Endless Crisis for the PLAYSTATION 3. The game may include online play, or even Home integration.
  
• Firmware 2.00 will be revealed, finally allowing in-game XMB (which also means in-game soundtrack), game invites, and enhanced profile features. (long shot, but hey)

PlayStation Portable

• Daxter 2 will be announced by Naughty Dog, along with Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier.
  
• Kingom Hearts PSP will be announced for the PSP.
• SQUARE ENIX will announce that Crisis Core has sold all it's PSP LE units, with 100K sales in total added with the individual sales.
  

Wow, looks like we don't have a career in fortune telling. At least a few of them came true, right? But I was actually quite disappointed by TGS 2007. I think that the DUALSHOCK 3 isn't really that big of an announcement to tell the truth, that should of been saved for a regular day announcement.

What happened to that "PLAYSTATION 3-saving-game" that Famitsu was talking about? Maybe just rumors? I don't know. All I know is this wasn't the best TGS that we've had.

TGS 2007: King of Fighters XII Announced

SNK confirmed that King of Fighters XII would be hitting North America on the PLAYSTATION 3 and the Xbox 360 in early 2009. The last non-spinoff entry in the series was KOF XI in 2005, and the upcoming game is a 3D fighter that is shaded to look 2D. Koyama described it as "3D mixed with 2D." Before that, the title will be rolled in its Japanese arcade version in late 2009. Looking forward to seeing how SNK combines this.
