Gamescom 2012 - Cologne, Germany

[BoonMonkey]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering, is anyone going to Gamescom this year? Or has anyone been in the past?

Me and a few friends are thinking about going but I'm a bit iffy of the whole situation as I've never been abroad before, no idea what to do when it comes to flights and overseas accommodation!

Any tips or information I'll need before I make my final decision?

How about you go to Eurogamer instead? It's in London this September and would be much cheaper (assuming you live in England!). Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

Went last year and had a blast

Surely theyve got a cheek the amount of people that say they cant game on VM connections due to packet loss and Latency issues?

Would love to go like, bet the hotel prices around that time are daft tho ?

The prices for partner hotels don't seem too excessive, based upon a weeks say, in Germany that is!

And @eurogamer... I would go, but my friends are more up for Gamescom (As last year they had a LoL tournament there I'm more of a Dota fanboy myself but hey it's all the same genre!)

This has crept up on us. Probably due to Olympics fever.

Anyway, Sony have a press conference tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm.

Microsoft and Nintendo are not showing.
