It really seems like Nintendo should've pushed for MK8 to hit this holiday while moving SM3DW into next year.
So yeah went to gamescom for the first time this year.
Made some pictures from and around gamescom that i would like to share.
PS: I'm not a photographer and the camera i was using didn't make it easier either
Yeah sorry for the big ass post. hope you guys like them.

Wow!
I had the same reaction trust me.
You dont get what Gamescom is about, do you.
Despite it being very crowded it's still an awesome experience to be there.
The Queue times where actually about 4-6 hours for the big games though.
Well, it sure as hell wasn't that crowded on wednesday.
I remember non-press people running around in the business area before 1PM though. That was kinda irritating, since most of my appointments were there and regular people made it crowdy despite them not being able to do anything there.
Took gamescom staff long enough to "seal it off" with them requiring to show your press ID before being able to enter.

Oh shit. I'm heading down tomorrow, it's gonna be even worse :/
Though I haven't been in yet I have walked around the place just to scope things out. There are billboards for PS4 and Beyond everywhere. Even adverts for Destiny. Haven't seen a single Xbox advert. Feeks like MS hasn't bothered to show up.

World of warplanes and War thunder do a good job as well when it comes to advertising.
Oculus Rift - last thing i checked out...
...I thought it was STUNNING. I loved it big time
You have to bear in mind that although the 1080p resolution is there, it just fills much more of your field of view than a normal TV. Kneel on the floor in front of your living room TV and move your head a foot or two away from the screen. This is basically what you're seeing through the Rift. You can see the pixels. It will take 4K screens to make VR look truly "sharp".
Yeah. Went to a GC one year, never again. Paying 10 bucks for standing in lines for 8 hours, playing five games I could've enjoyed just as good as Youtube videos ... no thank you.
Funniest thing I saw at Gamescom was Bundeswehr recruiting booth.
"So, you like to shoot stuff, son? How about a real deal? Sign here and here."
Would be even more amusing have they been near the Arma booth.
Reminded me of Harrison's "Bill the galactic hero", if you now what I mean.

Went to gamescom three years in a row, but not anymore. Waiting lines are ridiculous and the huge crowds are frightening. Just gonna sit on a lazy couch and watch the good stuff, although that does not compare to being there in person.
well that makes sense. thanks for your input.
but wouldn't that mean that it could harm your eyes more easily than just looking at a regular TV from a normal distance?
Bundeswehr has been there since the beginnings in Leipzig. Look at the crowd, mostly young men and since we don't have compulsory military service anymore...Funniest thing I saw at Gamescom was Bundeswehr recruiting booth.

Thank you that makes me feel better.
The constant people walking in front of my camera and or pushing didn't make it easier for me.
i guess if i had more then 1 day of practice with that Canon eos 60d it would be better.

Love that titan in there!
Nah it's better than watching TV (well at least a monitor up close). The lenses are set to infinity, so our eyes are relaxed.
Nah, you're ok, because the lenses in the rift refocus the screen at infinity. Instead of being like kneeling a foot away from your TV, you're looking at a screen hundreds of feet tall, with pixels the size of pizza boxes.
I wonder if they will do a collectors edition of Titanfall with a model Titan in it?
