(Lady get out of the way I am trying to take a picture of the fake architecture here.)īut Ghost in the Shell what? I have no idea what was being promoted here. The first thing I noticed was this like, church or whatever which was impressive enough.Īnd this gorgeous stage. This display was bigger than any of the publisher booths - bigger than PlayStation's booth - and it was always crowded. One of the largest booths on the show floor was for a single game - Granblue Fantasy. Someone brought a giant chair? I tried to climb up it and sit but a man got very anxious at me. I couldn't get a photo of the one made to look like ye olde taverne because I got kicked out for trying to buy a pint. Mobile and MMOs dominated most of the show floorīut I got super bored of taking photos of identical-seeming cute fantasy games, so please just use your imagination. Next: that's the big publishers done - what else was on show? Not that anybody cared since its only game is already out. I took a lot of photos of the Koei Tecmo booth because I love Koei Tecmo, okay? Okay. This is Arslan from The heroic Legend of Arslan. I didn't.Īlso tiny, tiny people in Nobunyaga costumes. You could have your photo taken and projected into a display as the Titan face. Koei Tecmo brought a rad Attack on Titan head I played the Battlefront demo in this booth and I can't wait to tell you all about it. I put my thumb over the lens because I took this holding the camera over my head and standing on tippy-toe. This queue went around the corner for three lanes, and then there was another couple of lanes once you actually got inside. Next: Star Wars, Tecmo Koei, an airship and more.ĮA brought exactly one game to TGS (but it was a pretty good one) While waiting for an appointment later I saw one of Street Fighter 5's developers wearing a Chun Li outfit. Thanks for ruining my joke, Capcom.Ī booth showing off masses of Resident Evil replica weapons was right next to Umbrella Corps. I thought this was hilarious but then I went around the corner and it had a huge section all to itself. I had to zoom right in to see the details. I went looking for Umbrella Corps - the big new shooter announce - and found a single banner. No Dark Souls on Bandai Namco's booth - Sony had it on showĬapcom had a large booth with Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter out in force Sega had a pretty strong presence for a "dying" console publisher And also very hot, because a dozen sweaty gamers, straining PS4 consoles and VR headsets fills a space quickly.Įveryone seemed very excited about the Trico wall but after watching for a few minutes I concluded that it was either rubbish AI or thoroughly confused by the dozens of people waving at it at any given moment. The queue system for demos was esoteric, but I had a queue jump pass so I just helped myself. The booth was double sided there are dozens of demo stations here. PlayStation had its usual sprawling demo lounge And yet three seconds after you were allowed in a bunch of people wanted to play Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward, an expansion you have been able to play in your own home for months. Most of the attendees wandering about are exhibitors, press and industry insiders. This was just after the doors opened on the business days. The only booth babe photo I took, and only because she wouldn't go away. This has been the case all three years I've attended the show. It smelled of the sea, which was a fine relief after days of plane, airport and hotel air conditioning.īethesda never seems to have any coverage opportunities, but it slathers the Mezze in advertising. I took these as the business days ended as it was absolutely wazzing it down when I arrived on the first day. The first thing you see at Tokyo Game Show is Bethesda ![]() Maybe if you click on this a lot Pat will let me expense a Fuji X10 and next year's will be brilliant because I enjoy fiddling with the retro-style buttons and dials very much.

I remembered to eat I came in ¥73 under budget I didn't get drunk enough to cry in the bathtub and I even took some photos as per Pat's only instruction for this year's trip. The time before that I had a terrible experience on a boat and nearly got divorced.
