Llamasoft @Replay 2015 in Blackpool 1/2/3 May

Post by gilesgoat »

Hi guys,

it's that time of the year again, in those last days we are working real hard to finish "some treats" for those that can make it to Blackpool :wink:

This year the exhibition is one day longer, however the last day we'll start packing it all up around 3.00 PM or so, it's going to be 3 1/2 really tough days for us.

As usual we always try to bring ( at least ) "something a little new" .. and .. we do have something .. 8)

I think Jeff is going to have a couple of "sessions" where he's going to talk about some things as well.

I don't want to say "too much" to spoil some surprises but thanks to someone in this forum once more again we'll have TWO DK2 to show and one DK1 with the COMPLETED version of TxK "upgrade" including round bonuses and some other things .. .. and some other things more :wink:

The location we should be set is once more again "at the bar" so in the same corner of last year.

For the question(s) that will come "as usual" "one for all" : "YES WE DO HAVE IT ALL WORKING ON THE MORPHEUS TOO", "YES WE ARE WORKING ON MORPHEUS/PS4 'since day one' ", "YES the Morpheus is AMAZING" , "NO Sony yet does NOT allow us to show it to anyone ( asked them a number of times they don't want to outside their own demo areas ) ".

Ah yes in case it wasn't clear "YES THERE IS THE PC VERSION TOO" ( is the one you'll see it running on the DK2/1 ).

This time we'll have also the Samsung Gear VR ( one ) but we'll have only a "enached version" of Minorescue VR ( that I don't think anyone has seen yet ), it's still very worth seeing it, TxK was "on its way" as well (there are some technical differences making the port a bit more complicated ) but then "all got a bit on hold when the shit hit the fan" :|

Ah unfortunately that place has "notoriously BAD" signal reception and net, so we'll TRY but we cannot guarantee we'll manage to make Periscope work.

So if you can "be there is going to be worth" it's going to be quite a tour de force for us so we'll be pretty smashed by the end of it :roll:

Press release for those of us who'd love to attend and write about it but are on the wrong side of the Atlantic ocean to make this practical/possible? :)

"Indie game fans will be in for a treat as well at this show. Once again indie game developers will be bringing an eclectic selection of new and retro inspired modern games which will also be playable at the show. Some games will be shown on the awesome virtual reality system Oculus Rift!

Fantastic games such as the award winning Wulverblade (Fully Illustrated), Terra Incognita (Back to Basics Gaming), Data Hacker: Reboot (New Reality Games), Shoot ‘Em Up Kit (Tall Studios), Horizon Shift (Flump Studios), Theo & Lizzy (Butcherlabs), Jockey Rush (Strategic Designs), Gunnihilation (RoboPixelGames), FOUR games from the wonderful Curve Studios and the latest Virtuality Reality projects from the wonderful Llamasoft have already been confirmed.

...

Over the course of the show we will be hosting a number of special guest Q&A sessions – this year we have industry legends The Oliver Twins as a confirmed guests, the Yak himself, Jeff Minter, will be host an Ask Me Anything session, David Rowe – Video game poster artist and the man behind the back drops for cult TV show Knightmare, Steve Lycett who will be talking about what ingredients go into making a racing game and Andrew Hewson will be on a Q&A panel with other former Hewson Consultants alumni Stewart Gilray and Simon Cobb. Also, we have the first European public screening of a brand new documentary telling the story of Atari and how they created a new industry, hosted by the legend that is Jeff Minter! We will be holding two charity screenings of the film on Saturday and Sunday nights in the onsite cinema."

And you know what's ( for me ) the WORST of all this ?

While the people attending the exhibition will be able to see all this, I'll be for hours and hours standing in a standing showing stuff to people and loosing my voice talking so much :lol: :lol:

You have no idea how physically demanding those exhibitions are and "while attenders can see it all", the ones in the stand are like "they haven't seen anything else but their own stand all time" :lol: :lol:

At least my DK2 will be there to tell me all about it...

Atari Film Screening introduction !!!!!!

That could go horribly wrong if he chooses to vent his anger.
I may have no control over the length of my life, but the depth & width is entirely up to me.

Great to catch up with Yak and Giles once again.

If TxK on the Oculus Rift isn't the most immersive, zonal, head fuck (in a good way) game I dont know what is. I'd seriously say the purchase of a OR set would be worth it just to play this. Imagine being inside the game, that's exactly what it's hard to put inot words just how mind blowing this is. I just pray the guys can get this game out there. If it never sees the light of day it'll be a fucking sin.

Just got back from the show. Obviously I headed straight to Jeff and Giles when I got there.
Great to see them and catch up but also this needs to be said....
TXK on Oculus is nothing short of stunning.
Honestly I was completely blown away by it and left badly wanting one.

Thanks for letting me play for so long guys and see you soon :)
You made my day!

Just linked to them from my FB, no idea how to increase the size as I reckon they're a touch on the small side.

That looks great. More pics and information please! :)

Was the new Atari documentary any good? I recently watched the "Atari: Game Over" documentary (available on netflix) which was highly entertaining.
