What was announced in Gamescon last year?

People say it's big, but I don't remember it being big - especially with new things.
Someone educate me, please

Not positive, but I know that this is the show Sony used to unveil the PS3 slim.

I believe Gamescom is also where Sony first showed Escape Plan and the PS3 price cut. Other than the price cut however it was fairly Vita focused, which is what I expect for this year's event as well.

 

Gamescom seems to be more focused with hands-on stuff for the attending crowd and some hardware announcements rather than full blown reveals for new titles, even though they do sometimes make an appearance.

That's what I imagined it to be. Yet, people say all the time this is like an e3-like event.

Personally, I'm hyping more Game Heaven and Capcom Summer Jam than this.

They aren't exactly the same.

E3 is an electronics convention. Gamescom is a games convention.
