With the Star Citizen event being held in L.A (as expected) and being announced as the 'first upcoming SC event', can I assume that I've booked my rooms and tickets for Gamescom in Germany for nothing and that SC/RSI will not be there this year (whereas they were there for 2014 and 2015)?asked by Jack Hollow
TL;DRNo, Roberts says they will definitely attend Gamescom with a floor booth, press booth and pop-up social events, but won't hold the big feature-reveal presentation of previous years because of workload.
So Jack, no, you don't have to assume that. We are absolutely going to be there – I was actually looking at our well, both our press booth and our game show floor booth, so we're going to have more of a presence on the actual floor – I think there's going to be a couple of pop-up social events we're going to do there – so the one thing we're not just doing this year is we're not doing the big feature reveal that we did the last couple of Gamescoms in the big venue mostly just because that can be pretty big on logistics and we've got a lot of things going on like obviously Squadron 42 that everyone is working hard on and a lot of features are coming up for Star Citizen.We are going to be showing some pretty cool stuff and it will be various stuff that we haven't developed but we're going to focus more on the show floor, doing some press stuff and then some social, some pop-up events so people get together and mingle and talk rather than big full-on presentation like we did the last couple of years and that's mainly just for- we've got a lot of stuff to get done and everyone's running kinda ragged because we're getting pulled on a lot of things and the big Gamescom event takes a lot of focus.But we're absolutely going to be there, I'll be there – people like Erin will be there, Brian Chambers will be there, community folks will be there. So I think – we'll be there. So don't worry about it, there will be plenty of time to have some beers in the beer garden. Alright, so you didn't book your tickets in vein.
