Nexon, Biggest Game Publisher participant are not coming to Bexco this year, which is bad news for the G-Star. But no worries. This time also it will surpass your expectations. Actually Nexon got some troubles in their business... unsuccessful in their games recently. And they announced they would sell 'Nexon'... but failed...

 G-Star got some criticism last year, that G-Star 2018 was more about BJ Show rather than Game Show because there were lots of BJs participated. But I think this show should reflect realities of game bussiness. Now Computer games are not just games... they are close to sports!! And more people enjoy watching game playing rather than playing themselves. 

 

 

And here are some news about G-Star 2019

 

 1. The main sponsor this year is Super Cell which made "Royal Clash", "Brawl Stars" and so on which are top mobile games in the world. This shows that the game moved from PC-based to Mobile based.

 

 2. The biggest participant this year is Pearl Abyss who made "Black Desert".

 올해 지스타는 '넥슨' 불참이라는 우울한 소식이 있었다. 그동안 넥슨은 지스타에서 가장 많은 규모로 참여했던 게임사. 하지만, 최근 넥슨 매각설 등으로 넥슨의 어려움이 불거져서인지, 올해는 마음 놓고 불참 선언을 한 듯하다. 그리고 넥슨의 자리를 대신하는 것은 '펄어비스'란다. 열심히 개발 중이라는 기사가 있네...

  작년 지스타는 '신작 게임 체험'은 줄고 'BJ의 참여가 많아서' 게임쇼라기 보다는 BJ 쇼였다는 비판도 있지만, 그게 어찌 지스타 운영진만의 잘못이란 말인가? 그만큼 게임 환경이 변했다는 거지... 게다가 나는 그게 더 좋았다. 이런 이벤트 쇼는 현실을 어느 정도 반영해야 한다고 본다.

 

 

자, 최근 소식 좀 정리해 볼까?

 

 1. 올해 지스타 메인 스폰서는? '슈퍼셀'이란다.  슈퍼셀은 '로얄클래시', '브롤스타즈' '클래시 오브 클랜' 같은 모바일 게임을 전문으로 만드는 회사고, 이 회사 지분 51%를 소프트뱅크가 소유함으로써 소프크뱅크가 주인이라고 할 수 있음. 역시 결국 스폰서까지 이제는 PC 게임이 아니라 모바일 게임으로 넘어간 거지... 

 

 2. 올해 최대 규모로 참여하는 펄 어비스는 새로운 게임을 보여줄 거란다.

 

 3. 구글 플레이가 '플레이온 챌린지'를 지스타 2019까지 계속 한단다. 플레이온 챌린지는 10인 크리에이터 모바일 게임 대항전 '게임 대전 예능'임.

 

 4. 푸드트럭 참가자 모집 완료. (10월 6일 마감).

 

 5. 네이버 카페 'LOL OFFICIAL FAN SITE'에서 초대권 나눠주는 행사를 진행하고 있다.

2018 G-Star What's more? Part 5 - Opening Ceremony, flashmob and the resting place of Fortnite

 The opening ceremony



 It was 10 am on the 15th of November. Usual. But the 'Catchy praise' different this time. Let the games be Stars....

 Flashmob and Fortnite Shelter



 Flashmob was unexpected. Suddenly people came out and started dancing... Flashmob at the gameshow... Interesting!!!


 


Flashmob



 One of my favorites at the G-Star.... the resting place... It was very good. I can charge my phone also here... Looks like inside of the game, Fortnite.



The resting place of Fortnite






 This corner is reserved for the resting place in each G-Star. This time, Fortnite took it. And this played a good role for visitors to feel how the Fortnite is.... And successful to give good impressions to visitors....

2018 G-Star What's more? Part 4 - Food Truck and Fortnite, Haeundae


 : It was from 2017... maybe... as far as I remember. The food trucks came to G-Star... And it's very good choice for the visitors. Very simply, fill the stomach.

 Food trucks and the booth outside



 There were so many people waiting for the meals ready. It was about 1:20 pm. And there must have been more people around 12 pm.... Of course there are restaurants at the basement of Bexco. But people like me don't want to spend much money for the lunch and the menus are so limited. And food trucks satisfy the needs. Good price and variety of choices.... And considering the number of visitors, the restaurants at the underground are not enough... 


 Feel like all the food trucks gathered here.... 



Food Trucks











 Booths outside... The locations and numbers are fixed here. The variation is who's going to take the place.... 


 And the main G-Star starts from the booths outside....


Why E-Mart at Game show? Here you will understand.

Emart and Play Green




Emart app download and subscription and then get gifts from there...

 Booths outside and the fortnite in Haeundae



 Emart at the parking lot and other booths in front of the Bexco building. Google play, X.D. GLOBAL's Byukramhangro, Disruption 3rd, Fortnite, Friends racing and Nexon's Giftbox were the participants. 


Google play and the Byukramhangro


And on the other side, there was a stage for the Cosplay.


Cosplay Stage



 And I want to show you the Fortnite booth in Haeundae, which is the main sponsor of the G-Star this year. The Epik games decided to promote the game here very seriously this time... The Fortnite became the rank 15 in 4th week of November... Quite amazing...


 Ranking news in the Inven: http://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?news=211056&sclass=26


 Influenced by the promotion at this G-Star...


 This time, Epik games spent some amount of money for this promotion... I don't know how much successful this game will be in Korea. It's now 1st ranking in the world but not in Korea.... At this time when I write this, it's 28th rank. in the 4th week of December, 2018. Totally different market right?

Fortnite in the evening



 The booth opened until 9 pm... each day... .. And many people got to know of the game... But if it opened in Summer, the effect of the booth in Haeundae would be more bigger.... but in Autumn and Winter....
