Microsoft dominates Gamescom hall

Gamescom the European E3 kicks of in Cologne, Germany later this month and over 600 companies will be exhibiting the latest in computer and video game hardware and software. The finalised maps of the three main halls have been released with the console manufacturers and the biggest publishers in Halle 5.2.

Microsoft has reserved the most floorspace, it has two adjacent stands. Ubisoft, Nintendo, Take 2 and Sony will also have large exhibitor stands.

[core_5]

this is just the business area, not the entertainment floor

here the overall map.

Sony and Microsoft are in separate halls for the public.

[Ron_Danger]

I can't believe people disagreed with you.

[awesomeperson]

There seems to be an influx of Xbox Fanboy/Troll accounts recently - that's most likely why.

On another note, I just realised the site is handytips, i.e. the site which brought us the rumour yesterday about Xbox One's "reannouncement" (later denied).

It seems as if this website has an agenda - and I certainly won't be giving them hits.

[xHeavYx]

Isn't Microsoft's event private anyways?

[iBlackyi]

Well thats N4G. Logic of the most people: If you dont like what you see - disagree.

[Ezz2013]

he have links to back him up, commen sense, logic

those are enough reasons to get disagrees on N4G

[mewhy32]

It makes sense that micro$oft would want a big space. They need a rally after the disaster that was E3.

[StoutBEER]

E3 wasnt bad. Their first announcement was. E3 had games games games. What took place after E3 is what angered people.

[bangshi]

BTW, MS will have a larger area because they'll have a large section for COD: Ghosts.

MS hosted BO2 last year and will be doing the same this year for Ghosts, and BO2 took up a massive area.

[GraveLord]

Fanboys. Who knows how they think.

[admiralvic]

@ Gravelord

Fanboys. Who knows IF they think.

Fixed it for you.

[Mounce]

They disagreed with him because he brought Evidence and Logic to the table, and that kind of thing infuriates the Wishful-Xbox fanboys who just are on a Cole Train of Hopes and Dreams that Microsoft makes everything better and tucks them into bed.

Seriously, delusional and deranged....

[slimeybrainboy]

Yeah, good spot. It says Halle 5.2 so I guess that means that it's a business area. It looks like theres Hall 4 and maybe 5.1 too. Sony arent going to show up to gamescom with up to 12 games to reveal and not have any space. There's nothing to see here.

[iBlackyi]

You are trolling, right? You only need a press conference to reveal games and no skyscraper. Also this is only one area, and not everything as Tripe_Down already said.

[Mr Pumblechook]

There are two more halls but Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are located in 5.2.

Hall 5.2: http://goo.gl/z8X9bi (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo)
Hall 4.1: http://goo.gl/m3gIbc
Hall 4.2 http://goo.gl/S46psn

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo do not have duplicate exhibition stands for the press and public.

On the 21st August all three halls are open to the press only.
On the 22nd August Gamescon opens to the public and they can attend all three halls including 5.2 featuring Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony.

[yourfather]

And people just ignore you
Yup,"just read what they wanna read"

[Rimeskeem]

This wont stop sony from continuously throwing game after game at MS until they hurt again

[kenshiro100]

Apparently, your link is absolutely wrong./s

[PraxxtorCruel]

Money talks bull**** walks.

[MWong]

M$ is trying to make a big impression at GamesCom. Which is something they need to do a lot of gamers still have that bad taste in their mouth from E3 & M$ launch event.

I already know what M$ will say in the behind closed doors media event. "We listened to our loyal fanbase" and reversed our vision. When they start talking about Indie support, they will say something like "Indie games are the backbone of the industry, we support them."

[dennett316]

I think the click-bait articles are reaching a new low at this point. Trying to stir up Us vs Them crap with a game show flooring plan?
You can tell that's what they're trying to do with the language used...."dominates". Games sites are just as much to blame for the current climate of fanboy nonsense as the actual fanboys are.

[Insomnia_84]

Yes...I didn't even click on the link but decided to make a soft joke about the tittle lol

[slimeybrainboy]

My console has more boothbabes than yours.

[rainslacker]

I think fanboys and bad websites have a reciprocal relationship. The sites feed off the fanboy(and people who like to get worked up) need for something to discuss, and the sites give the fanboys something to discuss.

It's not all the presses fault. If people would stop visiting reactionary pieces, they'd be forced to do some real journalism to be relevant.

[Insomnia_84]

So it looks like you will need even more space to play kinect 2.0 2x the space....

:D
:p

[Master-H]

Nice flamebait title there..

[golding89]

Well they got the most cash.

[No_Limit]

Looks like MS will have more games to reveal with all those floor spaces reserved. Can't wait for it!

[Geezus]

idk how many but definitely expect more exclusives to be announced

[Hicken]

... what?

[MartinB105]

Or maybe they need a lot of extra space to accommodate all the Kinect demos. ;)

[Bluepowerzz]

retardio

[leahcim]

lets them win on something at least

[5eriously]

What more exclusives on shitty hardware + the clouds + kinect????

No thanks. The PS4 will be my choice in future.

[PraxxtorCruel]

Shitty hardware? Am I mistaken, I thought neither competitors especially Microsoft have released hardly any details of their console besides the RAM and even the RAM issue is still experiencing disputes because officially there is still no confirmation. Why do people feel the need to put down a console? Are you trying to convince yourself, that your purchase is justified?

[thetruthx1]

@5eriously you mean the shitty hardware that's been showing better games than your hardware of choice

And if you guys think Microsoft would wait until Gamescon an event to show Games only to rally developers you're sadly mistaken.

time for xbox one to flex more game muscle

[5eriously]

@Praxxtor

[Are you trying to convince yourself, that your purchase is justified?]

What purchase? The next gen is not released yet so stop trolling already.

[CrimsonStar]

xbox 1 bad hardware ???? lol so I guess the ps3 hardware is god awful then right ?

[PraxxtorCruel]

@ 5seriously

Makes you all the more wrong then, no? Neither side has let loose of full hardware details, yet you've already decided XBOX 1 will have 'shitty' hardware. Take your trolling somewhere else fanboy.

[5eriously]

@praxxtroll
It is very clear at this early stage that the eXbone hardware are more shitty than the PS4. Thats fact therefore the scramble of M$ to BS you fanboys with snippets of a faster GPU and better GPU driver. They are running shiite scared at the moment and they are lost for PR.

So Mr troll there are enough information about the hardware specs and games and DRM for very good consideration already to decide on which new gen platform to buy first else how the hell would we be able to pre-order. Unfortunatly Microsoft dropped the ball and lost their marbles at this stage of the game.

So yeah troll somewhere else boy and please try to think before you try to post fanboy BS.

[christocolus]

im totally behind ms and the xbox one.not that i have any thing against the ps4( i will get one later on) but ms just has some games im looking forward to and besides im a fan of rare , halo and gears and with ms digging much deeper into their pockets this time around who knows what they will announce next? yeah and project spark seems cool too.Come lunch things will turn around and the xbox one will be better understood..

[S2Killinit]

I have a feeling The Order is going to make a big splash once the gameplay is revealed.

[PSN_ZeroOnyx]

Sony will still make more noise!

[NeloAnjelo]

Bigger isn't always better... I mean look at the size of the XBox One!

[Cable2kx]

I'm excited to see what both have to show, but more excited for what Sony has to show...

[ame22]

They really want Europe huh?

[fsfsxii]

OMG, M$ is so evil, why would they take that much area?? hurr durr

[TheFutureIsBlue]

The sooner it gets here the sooner we have some actual(hopefully)release dates for the ps4 and xbone.

[urwifeminder]

Same as my console gaming xbox dominates.

[sync90]

Size isn't everything.

[5eriously]

Says everyone with sub par "hardware", I rather trust a woman's viewpoint about this issue.
