Liepzig is important for Sony, but TGS is important to Japan and a good portion of the world (which includes Sony). TGS > Liepzig


The only reason Liepzig is getting this much attention is because E3 was downsized. Otherwise there wouldn't have been much of a point. TGS is where all the new games and '08 lineups will be revealed, if not at E4 too.

 well yeah but what you are saying about TGS is for gamer, the LGC is about devloppement which is more for the actors of the game industry.....they don't care about what's already possible or made... they care about the future and what will be possible..... so TGS is less important for the industry (meaning devs etc) but really more important for gamers.... LGC for devs is even more important than E3 (buy the way it will be E3 next year too lol) and that has been like that for a while now.... 

 

No.

There was already a game developers conference. There isn't that much they can talk about here that wasn't said before; it's not like GDC got downsized and half of the developers walked away. Pretty amazing that this particular conference which is supposed to be a godsend to developers didn't get any attention until recently. Like I said before, the only reason this is getting attention now is because E3 got downsized, causing a chain reaction: This is the biggest TGS to date, E4 was created as the successor to E3, and now Leipzig is turning into a side show. It's pretty apparent that this is being set up as another Gamer's Day for Sony, what with the giant booths of Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank being plastered up already.

So yeah, this is important to Sony since it's being set up as a wankfest for them already, but this isn't any more important to devleopers than the recent GDC, or past E3s, etc. Leipzig is a just a small blip on the radar recently inflated by hype until the much bigger, much better TGS and E 4 All roll around.
