Tuesday 12th - Microsoft (1-2PM) - http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/gamescom

Wednesday 13th - EA (9 - 11am) - http://www.ea.com/gamescom

Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain event (7PM) - http://www.twitch.tv/KONAMI

Not sure what I'm expecting to see, they don't usually do big reveals at Gamescom. Maybe something wipeout related from Sony, some gameplay from the ratchet remake, plenty of stuff on the show floor.

Bioware is announcing something.

jumbobreakfast · 11-08-2014 12:34pm

The media will be pressuring Valve for a statement on Source 2

Is anyone from Valve going to be there?

As for the show itself, I'm hoping Media Molecule and Guerrilla Games announce their new games.

So Nintendo are there but not having a conference?

They were at E3 and didn't have a conference either.

:pac:

Yeah, no announced digital event or anything like that.

Other than MGSV and some Mortal Kombat X reveals, not sure what to expect. Hopefully some surprises. Actually, hopefully a release date for GTAV on PS4.

richymcdermott · 11-08-2014 1:21pm

I think sony are going t show off there horror game until dawn as its being teased recently. More bloodbourne would be nice aswell alongside.

I do not really care for spmore mgs showing since I know i will be buying the game anyways and would not want anything ruined on me.

Penn · 11-08-2014 1:44pm

Actually, I'd love to see more of Gearbox's new Battleborn game too. Really enjoyed the trailer for it.

Ravenid · 11-08-2014 2:12pm

Activision is re-launching the Sierra brand at Gamescom.
See Sierra.com for what little was announced.

If you don't know who Sierra are they are/were a publishing house with a...varied history ranging from Phantasmagoria to the Quest series (Kings Quest, Police Quest and em.....Space Quest) to most noticeably of all Half-Life.

Check out their Wiki page and you'll see why it could be a big thing.

They are currently owned by Activision so this could either be a great new beginning, or a chance to watch another classic gaming brand burn.

Could they publish Half Life 3? *strokes beard*

Ravenid · 11-08-2014 3:26pm

There was supposed to be a big announcement regarding Sierra at Gamescom but my money is on another Spyro game instead.

At retail? Maybe. Valve partnered with EA for Half Life 2 after all.

calex71 · 11-08-2014 3:47pm

The team that did Remember me, DontNod announced a new episodic title called Life is strange. http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/11/5990851/life-is-strange-dontnod-entertainment-ps4-ps3-xbox-one-360-pc

This has a time mechanic, I hope they use it a bit more than the memory remix bits in Remember me, they were the best part of the game!!!!

Ravenid · 11-08-2014 3:49pm

It would make sense.

Activision want to re-launch Sierra with the least amount of cost, Valve want to launch HL3 but want Steam to be the main point of sale while keeping Gamestop and the like happy for one last generation.

Have Sierra be the Publisher for the physical copies (really Activision but they put the cash back into setting Sierra up properly.)
This keeps the bricks and mortar crowd happy.
Majority will buy via Steam (Money straight into Gabes pockets)

The main opponents for Steam (Origin owned by EA and uPlay owned by Ubisoft) are left in the cold.

Winners all round.

God Dammit I wasn't even thinking HL3 and now this. I hate you for this....

Otacon · 11-08-2014 3:49pm

Sony have released a few teasers ahead of their gamescom appearance.

Looks like Until Dawn is going to be a big part of the show at least...

Ravenid · 11-08-2014 4:07pm

Has MS mentioned if there will be any Quantum Break gameplay shown?

QB is one of the few things I saw since the new Gen started that actually made me sit up and take notice.

Everything else has been either crossover (Last Gen and this gen) or has just been off for me. (MGS5 looks like Snake got lost and ended up in Red Dead Redemption.)

FlyingIrishMan · 11-08-2014 4:17pm

Give me Media Molecule game please.

cloud493 · 11-08-2014 5:28pm

Ravenid · 11-08-2014 5:53pm

Planetside 2 + Borderlands 2 + NBA2K14 = COD:AW

Don't know how you came up with that odd fusion. None of those games are anything like how it looks.

Titanfall + Battlefield (Levolution and Battlebacks) + Generic COD = COD:AW.

Penn · 11-08-2014 6:49pm

COD:AW - Designed by 13 year olds, for 13 year olds

Honestly though, at first I actually thought it looked pretty cool. But I doubt I'd ever be as frustrated playing a game as I would with that.

COD is 'levolving'! :P Not really. Still though, looks decent enough.

Magill · 11-08-2014 7:35pm

Seems like every year they try to make it faster and more chaotic than the last... ultimately making a worse, more frustrating game. They really need to go back to basics.. CoD2/4 were not overly fast games and for the most part weren't full of complete garbage mechanics... thats why they were loved.

Looks exactly like how i'd expect a 2014 CoD game to look.... terrible.

would rather another world war 1 or 2 game though

cloud493 · 11-08-2014 7:51pm

From the call of duty thing

Activision today announced the Day Zero Edition of the game, which you get for a pre-order at no extra cost.

Shops will deliver and sell the Day Zero Edition a day early, so it'll either turn up on Monday 3rd November, or you can walk into a shop then and buy it. The game officially launches on Tuesday 4th November.

You may even be able to pick up the Day Zero Edition on the Monday if you haven't pre-ordered. Activision said stock is limited, but if a shop has it to sell, then it'll be on sale.

The Day Zero Edition is available on all platforms - that is, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One - and includes special content. There are two new, custom weapons as well as the previously announced Advanced Arsenal incentive. You'll also get double XP during the 24 hours before launch.

CastorTroy · 11-08-2014 8:26pm

Reminds me of Spinal Tap. It goes all the way to 11.

Why not just change the official release date to 3rd November?

cloud493 · 11-08-2014 8:27pm

Impulse buyers? :pac:

Royal Irish · 11-08-2014 8:37pm

Just looks like Titanfall minus the Titans.

cloud493 · 11-08-2014 8:47pm

If I can get it for a decent price, even if I do a good trade in, get it for below €55, then I'l be in. I was really disappointed after buying ghosts first on PS3, then trading it in for PS4 version to find it actually ran worse. So we'll see.

CastorTroy · 11-08-2014 9:06pm

So will there also be a day 0 patch?

Don't think I'll watch any of the 3 conferences. And not just because I'll be at work for 2 of them

CptMackey · 11-08-2014 9:22pm

Well that looks more like unreal tournament than cod . To much going on and it's all gimmicks by the looks of it.

Give me a shooter like cod 4 please

zero19 · 11-08-2014 9:39pm

Laz0rs!

Won't be going near that anyway.

iggyigauna89 · 12-08-2014 8:00am

Hope to god Konami give a release date for MGS V. I can then start saving for a PS4!

Would love to see Treyarch do a WW2 game next year, stripped back without too many gimmicks and unnecessary customisations. COD 4 was far and away the best COD game I have played, the balance was near perfect. I feel like I need a degree in COD these days to learn all the fec**ng perks, customisations and kill streaks. Advanced Warfare is going to bring a whole new meaning to Halo jumping :pac:

Hopefully we will see something good with Quantum Break this week!

cherryghost · 12-08-2014 10:24am

You know there's a bit of a pattern

: Quake/UT - COD 2 - Faster COD gameplay - - COD:AW - UT4

tok9 · 12-08-2014 10:44am

Looking forward to this now.

As usual I'll be interested to hear what xbox have to say. Did they have a conference last year?

But focus will be on Sony where I hope they give us some good vita news (Memory card price cut and multiple accounts)

Other than that Bloodborne gameplay looks like a certainty and hopefully whatever Media Molecule or Guerrilla are working on.

I want better control of the kids sub accounts, is that too much to ask?

Futuristic Infantry Combat with Exo Suits and Jet packs...Planetside 2. (Hell the user was even in NC colours..)

Random Loot boxes = Borderlands 2

Game mode where you have to dunk a round object into the enemies basket..NBA2K14

You cant call 1 level with a wavepool Levolution though. But I'll accept Titanfall as a replacement for PS2.

Mickeroo · 12-08-2014 11:18am

I don't think I can afford the amount of controllers I would go through playing that CoD game. Looks like it could be a lot of fun but I think I'll be sticking with Destiny for my FPS fix until Halo MSC/5 come out.

Shiminay · 12-08-2014 11:21am

Funnily enough, as COD starts to approach "arena shooter" ala Quake and UT before, I become more interested. Destiny looks awfully boring so I'll be giving that a big fat pass.
