Aug 01, What do they mean when they say something is so many light years away Aug 01, Is the concept of "wave function collapse" obsolete? It isnt open to the public, but if you can find a way in, its worth experiencing at least once.
Boy, this was a lot easier to predict last year when two new consoles were clearly on the horizon. Now that the PS4 and Xbox One are both on store shelves, the focus will shift from hardware to software. It'll be prime time for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to show off the exclusives that will pull people in beyond the hardcore early adopters. And third parties will have a chance to show some truly next-gen games that arent hampered by a rush towards a system launch.
With such a potential emphasis on content, this should be an E3 for the ages. SDCC is the granddaddy of all comic book conventions, and over the course of decades, it's grown to the point that it basically swallows the city of San Diego whole for five days straight. Though it began as a way for comic industry professionals to meet with fans, it has transformed into a massive media event for film, TV, and you guessed it gaming.
In the last couple years, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Capcom, Ubisoft, and Namco have all had large booths on the show floor. Though we dont expect anything too big, publishers have been known to unveil comic book tie-ins like Deadpool , along with new trailers for SDCC. Lastly, unlike the front-loaded E3, game reveals happen all show long at SDCC, keeping the excitement high for the entire five-day stretch. Gamescom has been the biggest gaming event in Europe for some time, and it continues to grow with each year.
Companies from all over the globe converge on Deutschland to show off new titles and demos, and its influence keeps expanding. And its open to the public, so no need to sneak in if you can afford it. Gamescom usually gets a flood of new demos from European devs, so we expect to see something new and playable from the likes of Ubisoft and CD Projekt, along with some big guns from North America and Japan.
Sony typically makes the most noise at Gamescom, and we predict that'll continue now that the PS4 is finally out. Like in , expect the publisher to tease a large number of PS4 games as well as attempting to boost the Vita in ways it desperately needs. Meanwhile, Microsoft needs to make up for lost ground in the territory, so maybe we'll see some major new info on some key Xbox One games. Fans come for an atmosphere thats far less corporate than E3, and game companies recognize the benefits of interacting with excitable fans at each expo.
Pretty much all the big publishers make an appearance, but because PAX is so close to the Seattle homes of Nintendo and Microsoft, those two usually have a larger showing than most. We expect at least a few new demos of Nintendo games, plus some Microsoft reveals, including a dusting of hints about the next Halo game after it gets showcased at E3.
PAX is also known for having a fairly strong focus on indie games, so expect to hear about some strange titles that could end up being the next Fez or Super Meat Boy. Tokyo Game Show is one of Asias largest gaming conventions, and for years it was where Japan shined a spotlight on its upcoming games. Over the last several shows, TGS international impact has been steadily shrinking , while show attendance has continued to grow, breaking records again in for number of attendees.
Even if most Westerners cant get hyped for a new entry in the Monster Hunter or Yakuza franchises, that doesnt mean Japanese fans wont come out in droves to play those games, along with dozens of other titles.
