gamescom Diary: Day Two

With the SCEE press conference covered yesterday, today and tomorrow are all about checking out as many games as we can in order to have lots of content to keep the blog ticking over well into next week.
My first port of call this morning at 9am sharp was the gentlemen of Guerrilla Games. We had a short presentation about Killzone 3’s multiplayer, followed by an opportunity to jump on for a game. Eight journalists faced off against eight of the game’s developers back in Amsterdam; hopefully you’ve read my hands-on piece by now and have an idea of what’s in store for the blockbuster FPS.
Next stop was another gent of the game development community, Alex Evans of Media Molecule. We shot a short video interview which is being edited as we speak and that you can look forward to seeing either at the end of this week or the beginning of next. He gave me an insight into LittleBigPlanet 2’s story and shed details of the incredible sounding music creation, which should give a new lease of life to those LBP musicians out there. Here’s the trailer for a sneak preview:

Next stop was the sausage tent. Seriously, have you guys ever eaten currywurst? It has been the biggest revelation of the day for me and I can no longer bear to eat ‘normal foods’ not drenched in curry sauce.
The afternoon consisted of presentations offering the latest on Gran Turismo 5, Sorcery, The Fight and DC Universe Online. Again, I’ll be writing posts on all of those games later in the week.
Meanwhile, my esteemed colleague Corey managed to get an interview with Ed Boon, the creator of Mortal Kombat, which we’ll be bringing to you very soon.
Tomorrow is another hectic one, on paper at least. I’ll be interviewing the lads from Evolution Studios about MotorStorm Apocolypse first thing in the morning and then we have a live chat at noon, local time, with some of the leading experts behind PlayStation Move and Stereoscopic 3D gaming on PS3. It should be really informative so get your questions in and we’ll whip through as many as we can.
That’s about it for another day. Time to hunt down some kind of curried sausage …
