Exclusive first video look on the Games Convention 08

The Dutch website XGN has an exclusive first look on the convention floors of this years edition of the Games Convention.

DA_SHREDDER5729d ago

But man, Leizpeg game convention looks freakin incredible. This is gonna be taking the spotlight away from E3 because for 1, this actually feels like a game convention, and for 2 that is exactly how E3 should have been,, about promoting video game products in a fashionable way. Gaming is not just a hobby, its a way of life, and Im glad that leizpeg is gonna give us gamers what we really want out of a gaming convention. God I wish I could go.

I'm jealous of all who are attending. I live in Los Angeles, and with E3 belting out a death rattle the past couple years, I really hope the USA gets a proper gaming convention next year. Whether the people running E3 decide to wake the @^$# up, or something else replaces it entirely, I don't care. It really is a lifestyle more than a hobby, and we deserve better than what's being offered.

would appreciate an awnser before 20th ;P

Megaton5729d ago

Not sure. Off the top of my head, I don't know of any websites doing live feeds. I'm sure new trailers will pop up relatively fast at various sites, but I don't know about any presentations. Personally, I'd really like to see Kojima's speech.

*cough* MGS4 trophies please *cough cough*

StephanieBBB5729d ago

Too bad =(

I really enjoyd watching E3 live even though it was not the "best" E3 ever =)

I would much rather look a hot German chicks, like the ones in the posted pic.

Billy Gates5729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

EWW!! German chicks have bad teeth.

At least that's what I heard about Europeans. :D

eDIT: I'd shag anyway, I have no standards.

Look at the 360. hehehe

Lets just hope its a good show from sony after a Humiliating and abissmal defeat which they took from Microsoft at E3

buckethead_X5729d ago (Edited 5729d ago )

I don't remember it quite like that. It seemed like all companies had something missing from their E3 shows, but at least Sony and even Nintendo showed some new exclusives. Why do you think Microsoft 'won' E3? Because of a multiplatform game? Because of a Mii ripoff? Singstar ripoff? Eyecreate Ripoff? Please stop being such a fanboy.

AngryXbot5729d ago

Sony going to PWN again at Leipzig. PS3 definitely the hottest console right now.

Everyone wants one. Best games, best hardware.

12 announcements at Leipzig. Cry WITH ENVY boy, CRY. Hahaha

AIi_The_Brit5729d ago

both sony and microsoft put on a good show

and they both embaressed nintendo

but fear not my 12 year old friend!

Raoh5729d ago

plain rice5729d ago

PS3 fans have lots to look forward to in GC. Can't wait.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 3h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken22h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 14h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 13h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 1h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken22h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
