At this years Penny Arcade Expo (now called PAX West instead of PAX Prime), I was able to check out all the new games and tech coming out in the next year. This year, I was able to try out the Stadia, I played Mortal Kombat 11 on a phone and the graphics looked great and the response time from the controller felt normal. I hope they do what they can promise, I am still reminded on OnLive and hope they don’t go down the same path.
The most common gaming accessory being shown off at the show was racing equipment, some of the major hardware suppliers were showing off the latest racing games you can play in a simulated race car.
One of the most popular games being shown were Borderlands 3, I was unable to play this game because the line was always capped.
Other games shown were Teppen, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy Online, Links Awakening, Predator: Hunting Grounds, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Kerbal Space Program 2, and there was plenty of indie games in the Indie MegaBooth.
The eSports area had plenty of tournaments going on, there was a US Army Call of Duty Tournament for $5K, and there was a Rocket League tournament for $5K.
They also moved the Table top to the Regency and turned the basement to console freeplay. But, overall it was a fun experience and look forward to the next one.
