hmm gamescom is in cologne (koln) right?
Might give it a shot and drive there... Hopefully i don't have to work.

I thought it was in Leipzig, but that may be a whole different event.

ow. i just read my Squeenix mail, and it said koln... i thought...

Yup, Gamescom is in Koln.

Games Convention Online (GCO) is something about online games (duh) that starts tomorrow in Leipzig.

>.<

Do they have to make the naming so confusing?

Sadly, it's not a surprise.

I get the feeling that E3 was their PSP-centric show, and GamesCom will be their ps3-centric show. New hardware will be shown at each show, along with big news on upcoming games. GT PSP was fully unveiled at E3. GT5 will probably get the spotlight at GamesCom. New features were shown for the PSP at E3 (comic store, video store), and new features will likely be shown for the ps3 at GamesCom (firmware 3.0, video store for Europe).

etc. etc.

But will it have PS2 backwards compatibility?

I doubt it, at least not until the PS2 stops selling.

Perhaps...but what does that leave for TGS?
