It's only a single day and it's free so I'm guessing it's not going to be quite like the US one.

PlayStation really put a lot of effort in Asia.
BTW, PlayStation Taiwan will also host same kind of event in August.

Cause TGS is mostly Sony already anyway.
I mean there's a dash of Nintendo. And what's an Xbox?
...TGS?

I flew from singapore to SF for PSX2015 and was a blast then. Now this in Malaysia is so much nearer for me (just a car trip).

That's awesome!
Sony still hates Europe though ;( not that I'd go anyway but still.

I don't know, I feel like KL is pretty swanky.
Will drop by to try out PSVR.
30 mins walk from where I'm staying hehe.
The venue is still pretty accessible by walking from either Bukit Nanas station (KJ Line or Monorail), Raja Chulan station or KLCC.

To those asking why not Singapore?
You need to realise the cost of hosting such event in singapore versus KL...that's your answer.

This is pretty much the first ever big gaming conference officially available here in SEA. I'm sure it's going to be a small event with no press conference and stuff. At least I will finally get to buy some of the sweet goodies and t-shirts.

Yeah boi.... MalaysiaGAF represent!
Hmm... Life Centre is a strange spot to hold such a big event. It's a kinda run down place. Wonder why they didn't just hold it in KLCCC?
Oh, well, it's easy enough location to go to, might as well take a look.
P.S. for anyone planning to go, I recommend just taking the city monorail (LRT) to Raja Chulan station, which is just across the street from Life Centre. Knowing the KL city centre, it will be practically impossible to get to even the general vicinity by car that day.

The "main" PSX with the press conference is still coming in December

Yeah, I expect it'll just be some booths with the same playable demos from E3, nothing big or new will be announced. I'll just be there for the gaming swag XD
No.
This will likely be purely about getting PlayStation games in the hands of local fans. Don't expect any new game announcements or any updates to major western-focused games. As any company trying to sell products in Asia should, this event will be designed for the local market.
My first thought as well. Can not make it as I'm stuck with work here.
No press conference right? Only Showfloor with playable demos?
I suppose we'll at least get a couple of announcements, even though nothing major.
Majority of PS Asia stuff is for Singapore already, like that recent Horizon treasure hunt thing. I'm glad our neighbors up north are getting an official event too.

Did Sony spin an atlas and plant their finger on some random spot or does PlayStation have a massive presence in Malaysia?
pls
where did you find this?
If Sony Asia decided on holding an event since January, they probably chose Malaysia because our currency was not doing well at that time and booked the venue immediately.
Thanks for the info.
