Gamescom 2012

do hope so

would love to be there, but my friend is getting married 18th, so i'll be wasted all the time

Company offered to take us, but meh, would have been all over GDC but I don't have any inclination to stand in line waiting to play a game for 2 hours.

I'll be there from 14 to 16th.

Dunno when exactly, but I'll be there.

I went two years ago and I was very disappointed. I wanted to avoid the crowds so I made sure we were already there when it opened. We Immediately proceeded towards the Diablo 3 area. By the time we got there, the line was already 2 hours long. I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea. Average waiting lines that day were around 3 hours. There were even long waiting lines to see trailers. I'm talking about 1 or 2 hours here. In the end I didn't play a single game and early in afternoon it got too crowded. The heat outside combined with the huge amount of people inside made you feel you were in a microwave and not to mention the smell. It was bad!

The only way I'm going back there if I can get some sort of VIP access or a press card

I will be there on the press day

Yeah Im going this year, but no way I would go on a non press day, thats insane

Doesn't one of you guys have some extra passes for the non public day

Why is than insane? The longest i had to wait was 10 min :s

Lucky you then, that's not what I heard or read from other who went. It was apparently so busy they had to stop people going inside.

I am sorry, you are right. I read it wrong. I thought you said on a press day ...

I am too tired

I generally try to make it to Gamescom if time allows, the queues are as bad as any expo I guess. The queuing times for the big games can be around a 2 hour wait but there are a lot of games to play that aren't so bad. I'll be there this year, as this will be my first opportunity to see something I've had a hand in making at an expo Very excited.

I'm going to be at Gamescom from Wednesday to Friday. I'd love to chat with MapCorians, any plans for a meet-up yet? Send a mail to fb [at] iventurecapital.com if you want to meet spontaneously during the convention.

alright doods I'm here... getting to gdce around noon, then going to the crytek party for a bit maybe. I'll visit gamescom on wednesday for an hour or so but I'll mostly be hanging with indies at gdce and going to the Nordic Party, then leaving Thursday morning... whoever's brave enough to organize a mapcore meetup, just tweet at me / or PM me here

I did my presentation yesterday. I will come and see yours today and say hello

right now I'm hanging in the speaker prep room with indies, working on our talks, if you want to drop by

I just added tons of photos from gamescom, can see them at;
