Alright, going to add livestream links just to make sure. If anyone find other ones, let me know as well. Trying to find the other two that were linked to Jordan yesterday.

Someone linked these 2 sites although I'm not sure if the second one has been taken down.

So how about actually meeting at the Gamescom? Someone interested in that? Unfortunately the OP hasn't been updated which members will be in Cologne.

doors open at 6 pm, the conference itself starts at 7 pm, though

Does the conference definitely start at 7pm CET? All the live blog articles on the gaming sites are stating it starts at 6pm CET

Sweet 👍 I trust you're wearing top hat and tails for the cocktail event

I'm all ears, just need everyone to tell me when they're going so I can update it. Updated most of it then we can just figure out what to do then

Meet up at the GT booth!

Atta boy!

Can you add to the OP how we can recognize each other? I'll be wearing a GTPlanet cap. 👍

I thought you weren't going?

 

[gNNY]

how about we schedule meetings? Let's say each day at 11 and 17 o'clock at [to-be-specified-corner]? That way we don't have to search all over the place to find a fellow GTPlaneteer.

 

[alba]

I'll be wearing my GTP shirt so I'll be easy to spot

 

[Denur]

What gave you that idea?

 

[kikie]

What gave you that idea?

Hehe, I misread this post of yours:

For those who get the first chance to play the demo at the GamesCom this Wednesday, please ensure that they have set the wheel options correctly. This means setting the FFB to something like 8 and the wheel mode to Simulation.

Last week, when playing the SLS AMG demo, we noticed that the FFB was set to 1 and the wheel mode at beginner (?). Changing these settings made a huge difference: The input from the wheel was much more direct and felt more natural and with a higher FFB setting I felt more as one with both car and road. As a result I needed much less steering actions to keep the car on track.

So please ask them what the settings are and if they are not correct, change these settings (in the game's main menu, like in Prologue) and have them do the same for all other racing pods. Much appreciated. 👍

I thought it said: for those who get the chance instead of for those who get the first chance.

Sorry:This site is down right now!

Hey Denur, since you're going saturday... we need to meet up since my friend can't come with me it'd certainly help with the footage since it's not going to be easy for me to do everything on my own

 

[DonZonda]

Alba will you be on Thursday there?
I'm there with a camera and record, so if you also there we could help each other.

 

[alba]

Nope, I was supposed to go Friday but ran into some troubles so I'll be there Saturday instead

 

[Denur]

No problem. You've got a PM.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

I opted to place a tracking chip into Famine's brain whilst he was sleeping so I know where he is

He left home at 0830 GMT, arriving at Castle Venari at 1230 GMT. The intrepid duo departed Castle Venari at 1310 GMT and are currently on their merry way to Kent, where they will meet the EuroStar at 1550 GMT, departure is 1620 GMT.

I believe it's another 3 - 4 hour drive to Cologne (I don't have an umlaut, sorry) where they will check into the hotel and have an intimate candle-lit dinner for two before retiring to their double room for the night, ready for shenanigans tomorrow

 

[gNNY]

another site for Live footage: my Qik account. I don't know if it'll work. If it does, the picture quality will certainly suck and be all laggy but the sound should be ok - hopefully.

As mentioned already, it's a high-risk project which might fail so don't get you hopes up too high.

Thanks, I have a feeling the road trip will be more eventful than the show ...didn't you tell them a twin room would be the same price as a double

It's all appreciated even if it does go belly up 👍 Are you planning on posting a write up after the conference anywhere or just leaving that to the live blogs on other gaming sites?

We will be doing a live coverage from 12:00 german time tomorrow at GTHQ if the internet lets us! You can ask questions with twitter or with the chatbar on the site.

Great to see so many websites covering GT how it should be covered.

 

[Owen.C93]

I'm a bit confused about what is happening. But what I gather is

Today, Sony do a press conference that will feature GT5. Followed by some demos.
Tomorrow is a press only day with floor demos and interviews.
And the rest is just Gamescon.


Is there anything big I am missing?

 

[Jeffrey00]

I am at GamesCon at August 19th.
You can recognize me with a GT Acadamy shirt.

I will try to be the first on Thursday to play GT5. I hope, that we can race the whole day .

 

[gNNY]

sounds about right

A write-up of what has happened will follow later, I suppose, as I need to operate two devices already by myself. Keeping a Twitter updated will most likely not be possible without letting down the other stuff (cameras).
