Hello Quotakus, this year we headed down to GameStart 2016. This year would be GameStart’s third year going strong with their game showcases such as Final Fantasy XV, Tales of Berseria, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization & more.
Admin Baka managed to try out Final Fantasy XV and was impressed with the battle system.
Look at the crowd watching the Overwatch Champions Singapore tournament.
Indie game companies also get to showcase their games. Below is Erisle by EXPECT STUDIO. They can be found on the Steam Greenlight. Do take a look and support them if you like the game!
>>ERISLE<<
The another game we would recommend would be Lost Castle by Another Indie. This game is available on Steam.
We managed to watch some Southeast Asia Major (SEAM) 2016 presented by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The tournament includes:
Street Fighter V Capcom Tour Premier
PlayStation 4 Street Fighter V Asia Amateur Tournament
Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-
Blazblue: Central Fiction Tournament
King of Fighter XIV World Championship SEA Qualifer
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Tournament.
One of our favourites would be the Doujin Market.
There are so many fanarts, badges, stickers & illustrations to choose from.
Look at the amount of MM(Mystic Messenger) merch.
Artists doing live commissions at the event itself.
The guest cosplayer, Okageo…
And more amazing statue by Kinetiquettes.
They even made Alyse, GameStart’s event mascot.
To see more of Kinetiquettes go to their Facebook!.
We also managed to see Rachta Lin! You can watch her draw live at the event itself & buy her fanarts.
Event Overall Experience:
Admin Baka: The event hall was cold which is a nice change considering most events are quite stuffy despite being held in an aircon area. It is considerably messy compared to last year. The lines for trying out the games were not well thought of, some of the games to try were blocking the paths where people would walk. They seem to concentrate more on the eSports. Which is totally fine, since people enjoy watching it. Last year’s was impressive especially on how they organized the queue for the PlayStation VR & the queue for Star Wars Battlefront. But overall, GameStart was still enjoyable nonetheless. We look forward to the event next year!
Admin SM: Overall I felt that the event was quite messy & not that impressive as compared to what they set up last year. But nevertheless, it was a great experience, and I hope they will up their game again next year! (^_^)/
