Pax is great Pax has always been great Pax always be great but what made it
great this year well today Linda is going to help us go through all the top
five experiences of PAX Prime 2015 an
experience can be essentially anything just what made the show awesome if you
want to see more videos on pack stay subscribed to see us check out PAX East
in Boston in
March rocket League had arguably the most talked about Tournament of the
whole event despite not hosting it in the main convention buildings the
tournament was hosted in an auxiliary theater not that this is a bad thing at
all just makes it a lot harder to get them proper exposure then there was the
lands there's two main public computer lands at packs first you have the PC
free play section where anyone can sit down and play a whole slew of games for
about half an hour before getting booted out to wait in the line again then
there's by which stands for bring your own computer this area is somewhat
protected and only those with special badges can get in both of these lands
were completely consumed by the sounds of Rocket
League of course there were a few people playing League of Legends or using their
super expensive computers as Lightning Fast Facebook machines but you could
constantly hear shouts yelling and cheers from the rocket league players
there were even multiple in-house tournaments set up by random attendees
because there wasn't an official land tournament for Rock Rock ET League which
says a lot in my opinion next up we have the PS 10 in Penny arcade's own words
each year a group of 50 industry experts select the 10 best Indie Games in regard
to gameplay and overall fun Factor if you guys remember videos from previous
packs events you may also remember my old top five of the Indie Mega booth
videos so this kind of thing is right up my alley this year they chose Adventures
of pip assault Android Cactus battlef Brigade dark Echo darkest dungeon from
light grapple ninja tag tumblestone and
zarvot I feel like we need to get the devs of darkest dungeon and from light
to talk to each other to make an illumination neutral game H terrible pun
anyways the top 10 this year was great but I did notice something interesting
and that interesting thing was assault Android Cactus if you check out this
video you'll see that last year in my top five I actually selected assault
Android Cactus not trying to make a point about how I can predict the future
or anything just an interesting fact one of my personal favorites is number three
the sheer amount of VR demos a Sude demos HTC had demos NVIDIA had demos
Oculus had demos and more it felt like every few boosts I would go to had some
sort of VR headset rig to go along with it and there was long lines for each one
not a ton has changed fundamentally in the VR space since I covered it last it
feels much more like valve and Oculus are now focusing on polish instead of
game CH changing features which at this point in the game is probably the right
thing to do here's the VR Making Waves in 2016 then there was of course what
lonus and I covered from Intel's drone zone and a bunch of random attendees
trying to beat Cloud9 players at random stuff to Hardware Galore and a couple
system showcases this year was packed with awesome stuff which I hope you guys
enjoyed some shows that I go to I have a hard time kind of finding enough stuff
to cover for you guys this year however everything seemed to kind of fall into
my lap and there ended up actually being an excess of videos which definitely
isn't a bad thing PAX Prime and Gamescom are always interesting events because
it's basically foreshadowing of the holiday season's releases which for both
games and Hardware is often pretty epic finally no matter how cheesy it is the
people attending PAX Prime and hosting PAX Prime are always the best thing
about it say what you will about Gamers online and honestly if it's negative
you're probably right with different communities being known for how
aggressive and an an agonizing they are and with developers building functions
into their games to attempt to stop people from being dicks it's pretty
clear that the gaming community may not necessarily be a well of positivity that
seems to change in person however at PS
people are accepting talkative helpful and generally seem happy to see you this
was my 10th year at PAX Prime and I can honestly say that even though it's grown
so much and people have come and gone over the years I've never failed to bump
into a small army of awesome people whether it's just chilling and hanging
out in BC in an absurdly long line together or just asking random questions
of each other I can accurately assume that the average attendee will be warm
and welcoming person and while it may seem cheesy that's pretty damn cool do
