Any Going To Games Convention This Year?


The Games Convention became absolutly boring to me.

I visited the very first con as a press guy and had a very nice time there, excited visitors and exhibitors, you could smell it that it will become a success. The second year I was there as an exhibitor, we all were pretty busy with our own booth but I also had a bit of time left to visit the people of the other comanies booth and discuss with them about the Games Convention, the exhibitors and the reaction they had. It looks like the big business without giving me a new thrill if I were just a visitor. Nintendo and some other companies just took place at the second Games Convention cause the first one was a big success. That was business which rang their alarm bells, not the passion. If it were passion, they had not annoucened something like "we're not taking place at the first Games Convention because we don't believe it will be successful" back in 2002.

Anyway, we get rid of five FLU GP32 which the visitors were able to win at our booth. Lucky people. Any my personal one was stolen, argh!

In the end: Nope, I won't participate at the Games Convention 2oo4. It will be nothing but boring to me, I've already seen everything I want to see, from every point of view. It will be nothing but more commercial and louder...

And by the way... at the same time there will be the Bünzli 13 in Switzerland. I'll be there for sure while most of the others will be at the Games Convention. If you're anyway interested in the Bünzli, which will be much more familiar and comfortable and you'll find more party, alcohol and a nice community (as well as exotic hardware like our GP32 and non-commercial software), keep yourself informed at Buenz.li.
 
Cool!
Anyone else who dont want to go the GC this year ? Yes ? No ? Maybe ? I really want to know that - so please: write in here if you are not participating this year. Anyway .. was thinking to check prollys EU´s biggest gaming event out this season. Munich <-> Leipzig is not that far :p

GP32, 64DD, Doctor V64, Panasonic Q, Virtual Boy, Treamcast, PSone LCD display, Atari Jaguar and a lot more will be there for sure.
 
last year was way better, but some big players are still not coming like Capcom or Square Enix only their euro publisher...
 
Why should Capcom and Square Enix or any other Japanese company come to a con in a country where they don't have a sub-office? It's nothing but logic that their European publisher are only at the con (if they participate in it at all).
 
I live near Munich ;)
But I don't know if I have the time to go to Ebersberg... at least, the meeting should be in the house of 100 beers :) (just 1 km away from Ebersberg... don't know the exact name yet, haven't been there for about 8 years ;))

Not sure, if you know the pub I talked about - they don't have MASSES of beer, they have over 100 different kinds of beer from all over the world! :)

Let's see if I find the time to visit you :)
