I know it isn't Leipzig any more, but still.

Is it open to the public?  Because that's roughly triple the size of E3, which doesn't sound right at all.

 

I'd never heard of GamesCom before the last week or so, personally.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

^^That's because its new. GamesCom has taken over from the Games Convention this year. Games Convention was open to the public, and it did have more attendees than E3.

As sully said, it is open to public.

 

And actually it's roughly quintuple the size of this years E3 ^^

If E3 was a ten then Gamescom would be a seven in my eyes. I hope that helped.

I'm probably the last one to ask, but isn't E3 actually closed to the public?
Cause with all the consumers visiting, its no wonder that Games Convention outnumbers E3 if that's true

I will visit Gamescom in Friday., so yes it's open to the public. And Nintendo, Sony and MS are there, so I hope I can see something new from GoW3, Natal and NSMB
