I might have a chance to visit the Tokyo Game Show in September, and I'm wondering if it's worth my time, or will it just be a purely commercial venue with no hands-on experience.
If it's even remotely like the Bitsummit described in the OP then that would be awesome.
Some background: I'm not a gamer, I simply don't have the time to be one, but I'm very interested in gaming news, game engines, and well, games. I also don't know Japanese, unfortunately, I'm just visiting Tokyo for a short time.
Anyone been to a previous Game Show (or a similar big event) and can say if it's worth it?
Been then many times.
Depends a lot of you go on business days or public days. Public days will mean long queues and not much time on anything during the day.
Business days you can do a lot more and there is a large indie section where you can meet with indies just like at the Bitsummit.
i will be exhibiting my indie game at the Tokyo Game Show in September, even though there will be huge elaborate booths for the massive/AAA studios, i can confirm that there will be a large area dedicated to indie games!
