Guten morgen! We arrived yesterday at Cologne and visited Gamescom for the first time in our lives. From the outside it doesn’t look like a big deal, but once you’re in, you know there’s tons of stuff to do. I won’t be making a fully detailed photoreport today, but here’s a short summary of what we did yesterday:
- Arrive in Cologne
- Get lost in Cologne
- Arrive at GamesCom
- Having a brief look at the Retro Gaming stand. There were a lot of oldschool devices and games set up, like the Commodore 128, NES, Atari…
- Went to the Blizzard room and spectated some Starcraft 2 matches: Stephano (Zerg) vs. White-Ra (Protoss)
- I played a multiplayer match on Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution
- His Axelency went to check on The Witcher 3
- We watched some gameplay footage of the new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain at the KONAMI stand
- Then we went to check the League of Legends area. We were too late to join in on the fun of playing the game ourselves, so we just wandered around, looking at what Riot had set up. A lot of cosplayers as well, but I expected as much.
- Spectated the LCS semi-finals match between Alliance vs. SK gaming. Froggen is one badass. Alliance won by engaging at baron, at which most of SK got wiped which allowed Alliance to push through and finish the game.
After that we went to have dinner in town and went back to our hotel after. This is all I have to report for now, I’ll be off soon to Gamescom again, and I hope we get to do more fun stuff. I still want to visit the Nintendo area and Epic Games, and His Axelency also still has stuff to do. We’ll report again this evening or tomorrow.
