G-Star Review Day 1, Part 5 - Game conference, I couldn't see and...

 : There were many things in this event. Eports, G-Stars and Conference, BtoB. And Gstar is becoming an International Festival. Maybe it is already. 

 I couldn't enter because it costs about 50 dollars... Usually this kind of academic conference is free but it wasn't.

And you can see 50,000 won for registration.. Damn..

 And I had to return.... If I were a reporter from a newspaper, could I enter there? I am not sure.... 

: I don't expect many things on the first day.. It's usually a kind of warming up before the main events...

 Webzen made MU which was a quite big hit in Korea but now it's not. And they released MU legend which is the child of the MU. 

Webzen booth and the gifts...

: G-Star streaming. And this is the final article on the first day. The trend... which was so evident on this G-Star... From PC to mobile... and VR is coming soon. 

 Below is the gifts I've got...

G-Star Review Day 1, Part 4 - Netmarble and Game conference, board games.

 : Netmarble was well prepared for this event this time. They even made a special web pages for G-Star. And they presented Lineage 2 Revolution, a mobile game...

 They really promote the Lineage game... The lineage is quite famous in Korea as MMORPG PC based game, made by NCsoft. Even now it still makes some revenue. 

 And the Starwarz soldiers attracted my attention.

Starwarz

 Why Starwars? They presented Starwars Force Arena as a main game. I played and it was more interesting than the Lineage Revolution.

 SNS uploading event. If I upload a photo taken of the soldier figures, they give a gift. But the instructions were not clear. And I wasn't sure if I do that, I will be selected or not.. so I decided not to do. This kind of event should be simple...

 And in the netmarble booth, there was no PC based game... which shows the trend clearly. They presented three games, Starwars, Penta Storm and Lineage 2 revolution.

 Starwars game is about war between Lea Princess and the Dark force, which was fun to play.

: Figures of game characters on Netmarble games. And people liked them. And it was good...

Displayed figures

Loyzo, is a BJ of Afreeca TV...

: He is a famous streamer. He plays league of legend, and is quite good player himself. And he was invited here which means the game companies also admit that BJ is quite influential in game business.

 On the way to Game conference, I found a board game zone. This is what you can visit without a ticket. 

 Like this, there were lots of events going on...

G-Star Review Day 1, Part 3 - The model beauties, cosplay and Hardwares

 : This time it seems that there were less model beauties than previous years. I don't know why, but I think the promotion by gift and contents are more effective than models...

 Whenever I take a picture of models, I feel the need to buy a good camera. I tried to buy one but I couldn't...

 Anyway, this time also the beauties attracted the attention of gamers and photographers. 

The models

 Nowadays, there are lots of female gamers.. Male models should come here. And also I could see more female visitors. Anyway it's game... which should focus on the contents and the fun.  

: This time, I see many hardware companies including Gigabyte, Asus and Logitech. Yes, of course the game is the main driver for the purchase of expensive gears... Especially the graphic cards are the main... Yes, Nvidia made a booth here...

Nowadays the cooling system is a key for the performance...

And mouse and keyboard is the main interests for gamers. And also mini PC is a trend now.

Do you see the small mini PC? I expect it to have a good performance.

: Nvidia is a famous company.. And then ASUS is good. Still the mainboards made by ASUS have good durability and performance... 

G-Star Review Day 1, Part 2 - Which is the first booth I visited there?

 : I am also a gamer... which is why I am so enthusiastic on this event. I guess I would play a game before I die... I imagine I play a game old... What I play currently is League of Legends and Dungeon and Fighters.

 You know what, this is the oldest game in the G-Star. Dungeon and Fighters.. which is very amazing. And Cyphers is also a game made by Neople. And this Neople booth meets LG.

 Dungeon and fighters are popular there were people waiting there already.

LG products

 As you see above, LG provided hardware for playing Neople games... And the Cyphers and DNF is popular games within top 10 games in Korea. And the LG notebook was so light... I would purchase it if I had enough money....

: Nexon is the No 1 game company in Korea. And Nexon booth was biggest... And also they showed biggest number of games, 6 PC based games and 18 mobile games. How amazing... it is.

Can you guess how big the Nexon booth is?
