If there was one thing about Star Wars: Battlefront that just didn’t resonate with player – other than the anaemic content, anyway – was the lack of decent space battles. That's changing.
So here's our list of things that we're excited to see at Gamescom this year. Let us know what we're missing and what you are really excited about.
Gamescom has been nailing theidea of bringing the video game industry to the people for years now. The Koelnmesse is titanic in size, well-equipped and ready to open its doors to anyone with a love for video games. What else is there to do though? What does the pop culture fanatic looking to do more than just play a slice of next year’s hot new release have to do between the hours waiting in line to do so?
Yup, the first PUBG Invitational will kick off at Gamescom, with a free-for-all brouhaha featuring the cream of the PUBG crop from August 23-26. So definitely not me then.
Gamescom is the best of the great big gaming extravaganzas. It kicks off in a month, and the first big publisher to reveal its Gamescom plans is EA.
E3 is done and dusted. The biggest video game event on the planet isn’t actually the biggest at all. E3 sees an annual attendance of around 50 000 people every year. That number was bolstered by public attendance this time to just under 70 000 visitors. Even with that surplus, it all pales in comparison to Gamescom, which regularly sees attendance of around 350 000 people. And now it's seeing the boss of Germany, Angela Merkel.
Tickets to this year's Gamescom are already selling out, 3 months before the action kicks off.
Blockchain technology has evolved far beyond its initial conception as the backbone of cryptocurrencies …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!

Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
