Thanks!
Early thoughts
- the order is beautiful but the demo didn't let you do much. And it needs to tell you when a cutscene has ended, the transition is so smooth you just stand there
- bloodborne wad graphically just ok. Quite a lot of shimmering and simple lighting. But within 5 minutes I was hearing phantom footsteps and generally being weirded out. Going to be fantastic
- driveclub. Handles pretty nicely although the pagani is a cow to drive - the Ferrari is much more chuckable. AI was probably on easy mode but they felt good to race against. And for those thinking it is a corridor racer, well it is if your corridors normally have rocks and tree trunks along the sides. These make it much more difficult to just ride the rails around a corner and should provide a nice balance between risk and reward - cut the corner too much and you'll get punished. Like the zoomed in cockpit view. And you can flip the car

The order is in a Sony booth along with bloodborne and until dawn. So you may need to queue for that one

Good to know.
That was quick! Great impressions, too bad to hear that it seems like the same Order demo that people seem to be negative on.Early thoughts

How are people at the event posting here, what about their phone battery and the connection?

Heat Signature (Tom Francis, Gunpoint) and Volume (Mike Bithell, Thomas Was Alone) are right next to each other, just in case if people wanted to play those games.

I was stood queuing for nearly two hours to play The Order until I suddenly realised I could move forwards.

They are all open as far as I can see, but each demo area has its own queue - so eg bloodborne+the order+until dawn, and then driveclub separately etc. Then a bunch of beanbags with smaller games like assault android and galak-Z
There are a few embargo stations not being unwrapped until 3pm in the indie section of the Sony booth, and a big full booth wrapped up until after the 4pm dev session. Annoying as I'll have left by then but if anyone can check on the 4pm dev session they night be able to figure out the game
The referendum is over! Let it go man.

Anyone played Advanced Warfare yet?
I suspect the queue is stupidly long.

I might break out my Gaf Tshirt for Saturday. I'll need to bring a change of top for the BritGaf meet anyway.

Not yet, gonna play it at Saturday. Heard good things. It's in the Playstation area along with AAC, Order, Bloodborne.
No its split up this year, still a big one though
My very first year not going and I'm gutted.

Anyone fancy grabbing me one?
Hoping some hit ebay

Damn, I was hoping for this. Is there any VR there? Oculus?
Yeah Oculus DK2 is there from what I read on Twitter.

Awesome, I will be there tomorrow. Don't know whether to make a beeline for VR or Bloodborne.

Say hi to my Ubisoft colleagues EGX attendees! There's a bunch of them manning the booths over the next few days

Oculus is there, started queing and gave up after 45 mins when I realise I was only 1/4 way there.
Beeline to oculus. Blood borne queue moves fast.

Oh thank christ I just thought I was worse at driving games than I remember!
No single queue for playstation. Lots of separate queues.
Queue for cod was nuts.
Oculus have a booth and there was an instant queue even at 10am. But there are a couple of stands that have oculus rift on - one in the rezzed area upstairs
Played galax-Z but it was very chuggy and the missiles broke (targeting stuck on). Still got a great aesthetic but handling may take some getting used to - have forward and reverse thrust, boost, sideslip and 'juke' (think 1942 loop the loop)
Played some more driveclib at the playstation lounge. You need to prove you are a PS+ member to get in. As windows phone doesn't have an app I logged in to the website and showed my username with the + logo and that was enough. DC looked rough in the lounge on their 4k TVs but it played great. The problem with the main DC booth is that the standup kiosks are too quiet and you don't get headphones. Driving is difficult without hearing your engine.
Edit: Saw Ted price talking about sunset overdrive and got a can of slurm or whatever. Big queue for that too

You need to prove you are a ps+ member to play a game at an expo that you've alr paid to get into? That's fucked up.

Had to queue for over an hour just for Bayo 2. Fucking hell.
3 minutes of Bloodborne gameplay from the show. The quality it's not the best, but it's watchable..

It's just a lounge. They don't have any games not playable elsewhere - fifa, driveclub and lbp and some beanbags. MS had a MVP lounge, don't know if that was the same thing
Edit: I kind of want a shield tablet now too. The NVidia stand had about ten setup and the combination of a stock android tablet, some enhanced games, the ability to map controller buttons to touch zones for games so that even touch only games work with a controller, plus of course streaming from PC is pretty damn tempting. Controller works on PC too via USB.

This is the Elite Dangerous setup, looks awesome. Will be my first space game playing on the Oculus Rift.
Apparently, it's a presentation, could be the one shown behind closed doors on Gamescom?

guys guys - come by the Kingdom Hearts booth to take a picture with the Keyblade!
It's one of the 3 (in the whole world) keyblades by SE
If you see a nervous redhead on the booth - that'd be me.
