Please don't hire a sober cameraman this time, please.

Fixed.... Seriously it was amazing last year, Wish it had 3d support....

Man liking the fact at the times of these 6pm is GREAT! Also Nice to see Europe getting some decent conferences!
 
Sony always had problems behind the scenes at gamescom.

From drunk camera men to insomniac forgetting resistance 3 gameplay.

It is like a tradition at this point.

VGA is soon-ish

The last VGA's was just a bunch of guys in a crappy looking basement. That shit was embarrassing. I doubt Sony wants to show their premiere IP in such a low rent setting. If UC4 isn't at Gamescom, I don't expect it to be shown this year. E3 2015 it is.
 
The camera debacle last year was hilarious, they need to keep that shit going forward.

Last year they have massive electricity problem just before the start of the event. They barely managed to get everything working.

But... I would not say no to few more crazy camera moves during this year's keynote. :D

I thought thats not happening anymore after Gametrailers got sold?

Yeah, Gametrailers is no longer part of Viacom, and therefore, their shows will no longer be on Spike TV.

I dont think there will be VGA awards this year, but if they make one, I will watch it. Last year was a tranwreck, but Geoff is still a very good presenter. He needs to take the reigns and be main dude on camera.

They maybe need to make the even open for public, to gather 200-300 of gaming fans who will cheer or boo at the content. Make it real.

The Inside Track
We'll be there (and also at MS and EA), hopefully there will be some 60 fps titles in there so we can do some nice videos :)
 
I read that the EA conference will be 2 hours long.

Yawn.

2 hours!?

How can you even come up with that when your E3 conference was trainwreck filled with fluff,logo's and concepts. Are they gonna invite laughing horse lady to the conference as well to complete the trainwreck 2.0.
 
Guerrilla Games new IP announcement plz
This would be amazing if it's shown. I have a feeling this will be better than Sony's E3, since they didn't have too many surprises there other than LBP3 and Bloodbourner, both of which were fantastic showings. MM is 99% there and will be a big hit.

How long will the show be? It was an hour last year, it would be awesome if it's 1:30 to 2 hours long.

My wishlist which changes on daily basis:
- Media Molecule showing new IP (99% sure thing)
- Bloodbourne new gameplay trailer & release date (confirmed)
- Rime
- Shadow of the Beast
- 2 other surprises like Rime/SOTB
- Helldivers release date
- new IP from Guerrilla Games
- new camera man (confirmed by Shuhei)

That would be fucking great for me! :) Can we get Driveclub to add some fucking local co-op? It's the only thing that has stopped me from buying their game.

2 hours of BattleField Hardline gameplay

They will probably go balls to the wall with the EA Access stuff...

Then Andrew Wilson will shuffle onto stage wearing the tightest fitting shirt and trousers he can find, surrounded by manly MMA fighters for the full effect.... ;)

As i said before this should open with yosp/miyazaki playing bloodborne

Shu approaches the stage. A Bloodbourne start screen appears on the huge screens accompanied by Shu's comfy recliner and a controller.

The crowd murmurs excitedly, "Gameplay," "This is it!," they say.

Shu settles in and begins the game. As it starts up Miyazaki leaps down from the rafters, giant axe in tow, and lops off Shu's head in one fell swoop. The crowd is bathed in a geyser of blood from Shu's severed neck.

"Representative of actual gameplay!" flashes on screen as Miyazaki laughs with insane glee as he dances in Shu's blood.

The drunk cameraman, sensing that this WAS HIS MOMENT, zooms in for an extreme closeup of Shu's severed head. It levitates! His eyes are twin balls of fire! The mouth opens and he screams "BLOOD PORN! BLOOD PORN! BLOOD PORN!" The crowd, covered in copious amounts of blood is both completely horrified and somewhat aroused (though they would never admit it). The streaming audience is blinded by an unearthly light. Once it disappears the Gamescom audience has been melted into skeletons. Shu and Miyazaki are smiling on stage, restored. They state that this was a boss fight from the game.

All attendees of the press conference are dead.

Bloodbourne preorders exceed 5 million.

This is all part of CEO Kaz Hirai's masterful plan.
 
I hope JStudio's new game announcement would be a retail title

or maybe even a REAL (not on rails) Ape Escape but there is a high chance that it could be a small digital title or even a free2play vita game

Lol EA has a conference? What are they going to show more concept stuff and fifer. Sometimes its better not to show up.

EA is the reason why the Games Convention in Leipzig became the Gamescom in Cologne. Their German division is in Cologne, and they wanted it to be there instead of Leipzig. So they basically boycotted the Games Convention, and everyone else followed suit. It's simplified, but it's more or less what happened. So yeah, they certainly have a conference!
Not that I'm complaining, going to and staying in Leipzig was miserable. The messe was nice though.
 
I'd also love to see Sony Bend's new game, that would be one hell of a surprise. Their last game bar that scrubby card game in 2012 aside, was in 2011, 3 years ago. They should realistically have a game ready for 2015, that would be a 4 year timespan. When you start hitting 5 unless it's Elder Scrolls or GTA, there's really no excuse for console games.

We are sure that the date will be announced for Minecraft for PS4 (and XB1) at Gamescom right?

I really want the physical PS4 edition

I really hope Gamescom is better then Sony's E3; that wasn't bad, but it really didn't do anything for me sadly (outside of some great surprises; Grim Fandago and all the indie games announced for PS4/Vita was amazing :D).

My wishlist is the following:
- Sony Japan showing off its new IP for PS4 (loved Puppetter, so hopefully the people who worked on that makes this :D).
- Bloodborn gets a release date + more gameplay showed off
- Uncharted gets playable demo shown off at conference
- GG's new IP gets shown off (either gameplay demo or 'In-Game' trailer)
- MM's new IP gets announced (really hyped for this; loved there work with Tearaway :D)
- Onslaught of indie game announcements for PS4/PS3/Vita
- PS3 and Vita get more Collections coming: Ape Escape, Level 5 Collection (Dark Cloud 1/2 + Rouge Galaxy), and others coming to PS3 and Vita / Vita getting Prince of Persia Collection, Splinter Cell Collection and Team Ico Collection sometime next year
- Vita gets new 'smaller' games announced (Sony-funded Vita games by indie developers ala Marsaki Baby and Big Fest); 'smaller' games showed off last year get more news
- Oshoka and Freedom Wars get more gameplay
- Minecraft Vita bundle announced for EU this fall
- Minecraft release date for PS4 announced (Vita version given a 'Fall' release date)
- More MC Mega Packs announced (starting to use the 16 GB card instead of the 8 GB one); will contain bigger Vita and PSP games and cost 30-50 bucks.
- PlayStation TV gets more news; Vita game Compatibility List unvield, PS1 Classics and PSP game compatibility list updated for Vita, ect
- (Unlikely) Gravity Rush gets a release date for the middle of next year for PS4/Vita (with the PS4 getting the original remastered this fall).
 
I really hope we finally get to see what Sony Bend, Media Molecule and Guerilla Games are working on.

I had hoped to head something from Quantic Dreams too, but I want more than just a HD Remaster of Beyond.

Rumors are stating that they've worked on a VITA game first, canceled it and started a new project on the PS4. So 3 or 4 years development time aren't true.

Well, it's not a rumor. They acknowledged that they were working on their next big Vita game and now they are working on a PS4 game.

It's not known if the PS4 game will also be for Vita (doubtful).
 
Bloodborne playable
Bloodborne playable

BLOODBORNE PLAYABLE

BLOOOODBOOORRRNEEEEE

going to be a fun show. Really hope to see more from Rime, the Witness, No Mans Sky, Bloodborne, etc.

Any chance at more Uncharted 4 footage? No. HAHAHA point and laugh. But no I'm serious

That's a hype train I can climb aboard.

Also hoping for some Arkham Knight goodness.
 
You think they are going to unveil UC4 gameplay at gamescom.......more like E3 2015.

That is way far out even for Soony. I think they will do a single game press event so it gets all the light if it's not shown at GamesCon or they might do something with the VGAs again.
