CAGiversary!
Hey guys, I went to Comic-con on Saturday for a few hours and took alot of pictures. They had a great amount of game related stuff so I thought I would share what I saw with those that couldnt go but wish they had ( e.g. Wombat ) . A lot of them didn't come out well because some areas were really dark, but a decent number of them that came out good, so here it goes:
First me and my wife didnt know where to go, we were lost in the sea of nerds and comics and people like this:
We pressed on looking for gaming related stuff when finaly we found a section dedicated to makers of action figures. While the great majority was movie related there was a good amount of game related gems like these:
Unless I didn't look in the right places it seemed that most gaming related figures (at least the ones I cared about) were just there to be displayed not purchased. (they did give us flyers with the website you can go to purchase thou). A little further from the toy area we saw the penny arcade guys signing autographs, there was a group of weird kids trying to strike up a conversation with them so I didn't get an autograph and kept going
As me and my wife moved forward we ran into the first unreleased videogame we saw that day: Eye of Judgment. The game looked just every bit as incredible as I had imagined. As soon as you placed the card on the mat a creature would spawn out of it, and a new thing I hadnt seen before was that if you picked up the card and tilted it to the left or right the creature would tilt respectively and seamlessly as if it was really atached to the card. There were at least 4 stations set up with people playing with guys giving instructions and and handing out what they claimed were comic-con exclusive creature cards to use with the game. The game looked fun and the crowds seemed to like it. But I didnt stop there very long...
Next we ran into a huge jabba the hut statue and people were going photo crazy over it. Strangely the majority seemed to want to get phisical as well...
Then something magical happened. I saw the one and only , the great major nelson
After me and my wife got our picture taken with him I asked the Major when would he be making an appearance on the Cagcast to which he replied: "whenever they invite me". So Cheapy and wombat if you guys are reading this, send out an invite to the major so he can settle his differences with wombat once and for all!
Then Finally we found videogame booths
yes this is a phoenix wright playing Phoenix wright
The Sony booth was fantastic, it was the only videogame hardware maker booth in comic-con. The games playable there worthy of mention are: Ratchet and clank (looked and played great), Lair ( looked great but some guy was playing through a "fly through rings" mission or tutorial which turned me off to it), Folklore (played and looked great) and Uncharted (which looked amazing, the animation and gameplay was fantastic exept when your guy punches bad guys in the gut it looked a little like a fake fight). I also played Devil may cry 4 at the capcom booth which was also a fantastic game.
The last booth that we went to was The Behemoth booth, there me and my wife played the awesome Castle Crashers. The game looked gorgeous and the game play was great. It reminded me a lot of the old four player ninja turtles arcade game. Also the controls where very easy to pick up, two different attack buttons and a jump and a projectile (bow and arrow) button. To use the magic powers you just hold the trigger button and one of the attack buttons for a magic attack. Each knight had his own magical power, the blue was ice, the green poison goo, the yellow fire and red lighting. At that booth we also met the artist for the game, he was really nice and he autographed the case for the castle crashers action figure I got.
Well guys that's all I have. Im sad to say I was at comic-con only for 4-5 hours since relatives came to visit that day, and it was the only day I had off from work that week. I hope you guys like my pics and sorry for any grammar or typos I might have made (I'm at work)
