No playable demo yet. But I talked to one of the developers. He was saying how they are introducing the idea of "physical" trophies for the game where when you beat a certain part, you will get a code to print out a design for that part of the world to make it on your own. Seems like a really cool idea. Their excitement for it got me more pumped for this game. Said it would be out in October.

Thx, too bad you can't play it (what's the point in them having a booth?). Cool I guess for the papercraft thing but I don't care, I want to know what's the game about. The gameplay mechanisms and all. Please don't be a "non-game" or some "experience".

So Capcom said we would get 2 new games announced at PAX

Guessing the Street Fighter Update, Ducktales Remastered and D&D are all we're getting?

Curious if anyone knows otherwise.

Checked out Contrast and Super Splatters today after the Why Would You Want to Be a Video Game Journalist panel. Both games looked great. Loved the art design in Super Splatters.

The panel was very informative. Alexander Sliwisky and Justin McElroy were really funny.

I played it with the Wiimote and I hate the Wiimote. Is there some other way I should have described it? The WiiU Gamepad was only usable as a map, which makes really hurts the game. Half the cost of the WiiU is the gamepad and I'm playing a future release that doesn't even use it as a controller? People will defend anything I guess.

It's completely playable on the GamePad, but if you have access to a Wii Remote+ it's much better because of the type of game it is.

Yeah I was surprised that there was no playable demo. They had a bunch of giveaways they were doing--seemed like more of promo stuff than anything; trying to get the word out on the game. They had a video of some gameplay on a loop. Definitely looks to be a "game-game," saw highlights of puzzles and whatnot. Animation is really cool, too.

Pretty full day. In line for my last panel before the meetup. Got to get into the Mass Effect panel earlier. Today has been crazier than yesterday, way more people.

The line to play Dead Island is far too long. I wouldn't normally wait but I need the stamp to enter a raffle.

If you see a guy wearing a gray vest and a hat made of cards that's me.

There is a GamePad only control scheme. They demoed it at E3 last year but then stopped because it was very early and they weren't satisfied with it. Common sense tells you that they won't ship the game with Wiimote-only controls. Oh and Miyamoto already confirmed a while ago that GamePad controls will pretty much be like on GameCube.

Those builds of Pikmin and Wonderful 101 they have at PAX are still the old builds from last year so none of the new stuff is in there.

Cool, wish I could experience it.

Meh oh well surely more info will surface sooner than later. Thanks guys and continue having fun.

It basically means they're not wasting their time making public demos. Gotta get both those games out before the summer is over...

My PAX panel went surprisingly well, thanks to everyone who attended (and to all the awesome people who stopped by afterwards to talk). It's been an awesome show, probably my favorite PAX so far, and it's mainly because I actually have time to walk around and chat with fans and other devs.

Shook the fuck out of Ryan Davis' hand. Saw the entire GB crew after the 404 panel. Drew and Jeff are tucking tall. Patrick looks super young.

Holy crap, I am blown away by how good Wildstar looks, and how much the developers know about the MMORPG genre. I have not seen developers who are as much fans as the genre as these guys since Blizzard hired EQ players to work on World of Warcraft.

I've meet the whole DEV team in which they invited about 30 people out to their office in Southern Cal for a private event. They love their game and their fans. They also like to drink, we go wasted. HAH

Tim Cain did design work on it, it's guaranteed to be the tits from a mechanics standpoint.

I saw Crecente sitting down doing some sort of work. I asked 'Aren't you crecente?' Says yes. I say something stupid like 'You're really easy to recognize, you've got that going for you!'

...I am an awkward penguin, for reals. That's the best thing I could come up with?

Anyways, having a lot of fun here, although the panels are disappointing compared to last year. I went to 5-6 last year, only planning on 4 this year--went to Blizz's (FUCK THAT CARD GAME), Giant Bomb (amazing), Irrational (ok), and Gearbox tomorrow.

Also waltzed around in my ghetto Hotline Miami Jacket costume during the later hours today, with the mask up except for pictures since it's pretty suffocating otherwise. Got some good recognition from a few folks.

No. I did not. Maybe next time.

EDIT: Just re-watched that video, since I didn't get the reference at the time. Fucking great. I will do so if I see him again. Maybe. If I don't awkward penguin all over myself.

Haha, thanks, it's an honor. I'll keep an eye out during my cosplay hunting. Waiting to board my flight, so see some of y'all in a few hours.

Pretty sure you snapped a quick picture of my Hotline Miami costume. I was on the show floor with my backpack and badge still on, but, hey, oh well. Had a better run of it tonight after hours w/o the baggage. Would have said hi but no idea if anyone could hear me through the damn mask.

It depends where you go and when you go. My badge has been checked:

Heading into the main theater at lineup
Heading into the Expo hall numerous times (but only at certain checkpoints by guards, usually), and more often early than late
At the entrance sometimes there's one checking here and there.

The F/S/S badges are pretty bright colors so it's harder to get away with it. Say, last year's Sunday or 3-day would be pretty easy--the badges look almost identical at first glance.

Yuuuuuuuup.

I got to actually see a bit of the show today, which was nice. Got to say hello to Noogy, Shidosha (who I originally got introduced to for obvious reasons), and some others that I had wanted to run into. Played some interesting games, did some equally interesting interviews.

LAST SHAMELESS PLUG: My second PAX East 2013 panel is tomorrow at 3pm in the Corgi. Please come in you've got nothing else to do! Niche topic + Sunday = my worrying about how the turnout is going to be.
