This is ridiculous,. I'm just assuming that the Vive is a no go now >_<
Doesn't seem like anyone's gotten the Vive one (other than confirmation that you've registered).

I'm assuming unlike the other two VR headsets i won't need to sign up for anything to try an Oculus? I haven't had a chance to try any VR yet so hopefully i'll get to try it on thursday.
There hasn't been an issue getting onto an Oculus over the past 2 years. They'll probably have bucketloads of them this year.
I think the fact that plenty of devs have access to them means they'll be demoed on plenty of games without Oculus even being involved.
That was definitely the case last year - I played Elite Dangerous and some horse racing game on Oculus

Still no confirmation for PSVR but I still have some hope since they were responding to people saying it should arrive in the next 24 hours.
Do you still have my number from the previous year?
I do need Whatsapp though. Might as well download it now. (if not, I'd need to download it early next year for another trip anyway lol)

Same for me. All present and correct which is reassuring.
Just waiting on Vive now.

yay
Though the Vive is leaving it very late. Glad I didn't bother with it, less stress to deal with then.
edit: also https://www.egx.net/egx/2015/sessions
3 still TBA. either leaving it late or they couldn't get anyone for those days/times.

With EGX tomorrow, I've decided to launch my Kickstarter today for "Dead of Day" a modern day dungeon crawler. Thought it would be easier to promote while I am at the show then launch it after. It'll be an interesting experiment :!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trebuchetgames/dead-of-day-video-game-for-pc-mac
I'm not great at making videos but hopefully it gives the idea of what the game is about and doesn't look too terrible (I don't recommend trying to make a kickstarter, while preparing for a show, while trying to sort issues out with a car while trying to do a normal day job! lol).
If you don't like the game or the concept or don't want to back it, no worries at all, but would appreciate any tweets/facebook posts that people can do. Would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Note: Mods sorry if this post is slightly off topic here, but couldn't find another appropriate EGX topic to post in.

I wonder what they may end up being. I'm looking forward to a good few of the Dev Sessions this year.
My only disappointment this year is Bethesda were listed as a partner for some time before disappearing off the list.
Had some hidden hopes of Fallout.

I'll be at EGX this year filming and uploading videos for those who don't get to attend. I'll probably drop one or two in here every day if theres anything very interesting. Really looking forward to it, will be interesting how they fill the NEC as they've got a lot of space this year.
Also tickets are still on sale, either cos its a bigger venue or just the london crowd have decided not to go. Either way hopefully its a little bit calmer.
Anyone going to the after party on the friday? Sounds very cheesy but could be fun.

Can anyone tell me what merch stands I can expect to be there? What to pick up some stuff if I can. Shame payday is next week.
Probably be the usual T-shirt, Sweets, Anime, Game mech (such as models, cups etc).
It should list them on the EGX site.
PSVR email just arrived for me confirming my booking on Saturday. Still waiting on HTC.
Yeah, that was a very strange post. Raiders spotted in the area? Hmm. Let's hope so.

I'm not sure on what they mean. I feel they may have been referring to the GAME staff at the expo.
Bethesda were definitely removed from the Partners list previously and haven't been re-added.
Could some kind English soul explain to me how these "open" return tickets work? Do you just hop on any train going to your destination and show the ticket or what?
Cause I bought a return ticket form Liverpool to Birmingham, that on national rail said "valid on other services" or "other services you can travel on" or somesuch.
So do I have to adhere to the time stated on the tickets, or can I take a later (or earlier) train if I want to?
Edit: this is what it says on Virgin trains (the ticket seller, seriously, there's like fifteen different places to look, get your act together British public transport), for "off peak return":
Which makes me a bit confused as the tickets themselves seem to have set departure times?

Hopefully we will all start seeing them shortly then.
Nothing so far however.
Edit: My brother just got his even though he signed up almost a day later than me. I now dislike him, greatly.
Off peak return means you can travel on any (Virgin to make sure) train that is an off peak service from the start of your ticket date until a month has elapsed.
You need to check which train services (times) are off peak services, if your ticket (a Virgin trains service) prevents you from travelling on another service (i.e. London Midland) and if Super Off peak counts as well.
It might be worth calling up National Rail if you are still confused.
ALSO, it depends if bought an advance ticket or not. Advance tickets are only valid on one service. It seems like you have not.
Guys, Phil Spencer said that VR isn't the future :

Make another "Phil said" thread. I won't!

No, he meant they'll have the Vive and ME at their booth, not ME on the Vive.

I haven't heard anything about Mirrors Edge VR support, and I doubt it would work. They must be demoing it separately.
Alright, what confuses me though is that there are set departure times, but I could ignore those and go on any off peak train service (that the tickets are valid for, seemingly Virgin, London Midland, Arriva Trains Wales at least according to the tickets).
I'll try to check with someone at the train station when I get there to confirm I guess. Thanks!
Yeah, sorry about the wording. As far as I know, no official vr support planned for ME at the moment.

Mirrors Edge wouldn't even work for VR right now. Running around at that speed would make you sick in like 30 seconds.

Some very low key dev sessions this year....Where are the big hitters at for this year?
I'm still in the camp of being away from London has caused them to lose some support since many devs UK HQs are in London.
Still, Yoshida doing one for Playstation is pretty damned sweet.
either it's a huge surprise that they've kept under wraps for some reason or it's just going to be advertised
I suspect the latter
If it's coming from the Vault Club group run by GAME then the best has been edited.
Looks like its a looped video of the E3 Xbox Gameplay. Just playing by the Xbox stand with a Pip Boy statue nearby.

Pretty much the latter otherwise EGX would want it on the website to get people excited.
