London Games Festival 2nd - 7th October

I' ve posted about this before and only one or two people took notice, ...most notably Tiz as he lives in London. I have however just found out that for that week, as part of the festival there will be companies showcasing some games at Oxford Streets HMV.

Could definitely be worth checking out.

any good games?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

That is like 1 week after X06.

Do they really have anything left to show?

If you' re lucky some gameplay stuff gets up at X06 then it might also come there.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Dunno. I don' t know what compaines will be there. I might make my way down on the off chance they' ll have some Wii pods there, i couldn' t care less about the PS3 and 360 stuff.

Majik,if Fable2 is playable at X06 then it might be there.

Nah. Fable 2 will definitely be at X06 along with everything else Microsoft has held back on, but it wouldn' t be at the London Games Festival. It' s not that kind of event.

I doubt there would be any PS3 stuff there at all, and if there is 360 stuff it' d be either stuff that' s already out or stuff that' s coming in the next couple of weeks/months.

Nintendo on the other hand aren' t at TGS and are currently doing some sort of roadshow. They' ve been to London before with a Twilight Princess/DS setup so it' s possible they' ll have some Wii stuff there.

I heard a lot of MS people say that they saving big guns up for X06 i also heard bungie will show something at it.

What do you think will be shown/playable at X06?

In-game footage of Halo3?
New map with Gears of war?


Forza2 playable?

Perhaps new mass effect trailer? or playable.

what do you think.

Don' t quote me on that though. That' s just what they should be showing, not what they will be showing.

We do know that Gears, Alan Wake, and Half Life 2 are 100% confirmed. Some of the rest, like; Huxley, Halo 2, FEAR, Lost Planet, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Crackdown, Viva Pinata, CoD3, Fable 2 etc are no brainers....

....but games like Too Human, BiA3, Cellfactor, Project Offset etc are just possibilites. Theyve not been seen for a while and it' s a western console specific event so i' d expect them to be shown.

The Japanese titles like; KOF: Maximum Impact 3, Lost Odyssey, Sonic, Ninja Gaiden 2 etc are possible but it' s not a Japanese event and so they may not be there at all.

Games due to launch on 360 before Christmas should be there. Anything else could technically be left until GDC 2007.

Ofc i don' t hold you accounted for that list,we have no official comments yet,we know though that bungie teasing about showing something very very soon.

Must be at X06.

TGS then X06 then London Games Festival...

Kick ass!

Majik, could you post the link again, as when I wanted to put my details down...

It didn' t let moi!

I suppose I could just look for the thread..

I am more interested in the Gamer Careers Fair than the actual gameplay side
of the festival, but I think the event at HMV almost screams at me to at least
see what it is like... Seeing as I live about 10 minutes away..

They might have WiiPods, which would be nice, as I have been dying to prove
myself wrong that the Wiimote isn' t gimmicky..

Would be nice and right, because you can' t just show Sigma, and get people
wanting the PS3 excited, just an in-game trailer, 5 minutes of gameplay...

ANYTHING!!!

There are two rules to success:
