EGX 2019

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow, I will be going to EGX 2019 at ExCeL London in the Docklands. For those of you who aren't familiar with this event, EGX is the UK’s premier video games show, celebrating all things gaming 🎮

I've been to a smaller version of this event before, dedicated to Indie games, and it was a lot of fun to try out some upcoming games! This will be much bigger, and from what I understand there will be a lot of video games both high budget and indie showcased, available to try, along with some competitions, panels with game creators, board games, merch, and loads more! You can find more info here.

In case there's anything you guys are interested in or curious about, let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to bring you back some info or pictures

Also, while you're in the area, Huawei have a pop up shop for the new smartwatch they have..... in the docks... as in, in the water.
All you have to do, is swim to the shop, place your order and dive down to collect it... underwater.
Get down there and it's free.

@viridis I thought you were joking but after looking it up it seems it is true

If I have the chance to pop by I'll snap a picture for you guys, bu I'm not big on swimming so maybe I'll pass ... are you planning a trip down to the docks yourself then?

Lord viridis never jokes about matters of the tech nature.

Now that’s a challenge I’d love to try... as long as there wasn’t a queue!

I think there's a retro gaming area as part of the expo, I'll see if I can get chance to check it out for you

I'm interested in the new VR system that Nintendo are bringing out for the switch. I think it might still be in development but if you could get any more info on it that would be awesome

I've seen Nintendo are trying to replicate the success of Wii Fit on the Switch!

@EmilieT

Hope it was interesting, am an exceedingly casual gamer so very behind on what's going on, I only knew about control because I keep an eye on what Remedy are up to.
