Exactly what it says on the tin.

There have been some pretty major bombshells at GamesCom, arguable more so than E3 provided in June.

Microsoft unveiled Lara's ass won't be on PlayStation first for the first time in the franchise's history as far as I know.

Sony also went crazy on new game announcements for PS4 in retaliation (while E3 on the otherhand was more reiterating what we already knew).

Vita saw absolutely no love whilst it was mentioned at E3. Nintendo chose to not have a formal conference at both. (though they have attended both)

Is GamesCom becoming the West's most important gaming event?

No.
But I agree that the Tomb Raider news was bigger than anything at MSs E3 conference.

I hope not, E3 was a lot more exciting.

It is becoming better if this continues like this it possible will in the future..

E3 2013 had an attendance of 48,000 and hasn't really been a big deal in like 8 or 9 years back when it hit the range of 70,000. Gamescom 2013 had an attendance of 340,000. Gamescom is already WAY bigger than E3 ever was.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

There only has been one half bombshell and a few new great looking indies.

Still not even close to the spectacle that is E3.
