i'm hoping to get there on the 27th too.
although looking through the list of exhibitors, i can't see too much of SWP interest. maybe i'm being a dolt.

This year BACTA are staging a separate event at a venue in East London simultaneous to the Earls Court event. It seems some of the usual AWP/SWP exhibitors may be there instead (eg Games Warehouse don't seem to be on the exhibitors list for the IGE/Earls Court event but are at the Excel one).

Sega, Konami and Namco at the EAGExpo. Welp, I know which one I'll be at this year. Pity that the ATE couldn't hold their show at the Excel as well. It's not as if there isn't enough room. ;)

Wonder how many posters will be missing with the industry show on?

Still, there's always the company laptop! :wink:

I was at the Ate yesterday and was quite disappointed of the lack of swp producers there this year. Only Barcrest and games media present.
No new stuff seen on games media and plenty of fatspanner content on the dice ie TRUE Or FALSE quizzes that the have been churning out for years.
I played the new STAR WARS game which was all sound no gameplay.
I was told the STAR WARS game has been delayed because of LUCAS FILM keep throwing spanners in the works.

Are they particular Fat Spanners, or...?

I would've been interested in making it to this event, but 'real' work is over-ruling everything at the moment. :(

Only 5 terminals at the ATEI. 2 Dice, 3 Indie2.

I hope there was a bit more to see at the EAG the only company I was aware of being there was Games Warehouse.
