The Sights Of Tokyo Game Show 2022

Here’s a hint that many people will not tell: You can enjoy any video game show at home by sitting comfortably on your sofa and watching it on YouTube. 

It has been amazing how the game press can trick you to believe otherwise over the years. These shows seem extravagant and energetic. It almost seems like we are getting glimpses of the future. We then turn these news stories into on-demand trailers to share with our loyal readers back home. 

Reality is far more grim.

E3, PAX and Gamescom or, in this instance, Tokyo Game Show are just a few examples of the dangerous combo of jetlag, overwork, and fatigue that can accompany attending a trade show. It’s the horrible FOMO that comes with being in one of the most exciting cities on the planet and spending so much time in convention halls. It is a symphony of hundreds of people speaking at the same time. Incredible smells and sounds of hundreds of people walking too close together. There were always thousands of people using the bathroom simultaneously. The unavoidable dangers of hosting a conference on video games in the middle of a pandemic are just a few of the many. But I digress.

All that said, there’s some fun stuff to look at, like big, gaudy statues and giant booths that likely cost tens of thousands of dollars for games you’ve never heard of and likely will never play. This is the stuff that truly makes it worthwhile. 

We would love to fly everyone out to Tokyo. Unfortunately, only two full-time employees were able to travel. Instead of going to the event, here are some photos of me on the floor. 

It’s all in our heads, so we’ll just start with the game of the week! It’s so cool! Can’t wait.

As you can see, I was as enthusiastic for Wanted: Dead when it first appeared a few months ago as the booth buddies. It’s a nice diner.

Because I watched it so closely, I almost missed the demo. This dinosaur moved and groaned. I love dinos. Rewatching the original Jurassic Park is a great way to see if it was the right film.

It’s cool, but how will Advent Children be remade?

This is my dad.

Marcus said as we passed Bomberman, “You MUST take a photograph of him.” It was intense. I couldn’t resist him. It makes me shiver to think about what could have happened if I hadn’t taken this picture.

Thatgamecompany’s Sky was born in the USA. It’s huge in Japan! It was amazing to see it live on the floor. Sky is a fantastic game. It is a great game.

So we can continue, here’s an obvious joke: It is slightly larger than the real thing.

It’s always intrigued me to know what happens after conventions are over. Are they allowed to go to another show? What happens to them when they retire? What happens to these materials when they retire? Please let me know, I would love to go.

Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter! Street Fighter!

Konami is loved by many. However, this Konami booth was the most popular. Sorry, Metal Gear heads – Yu-Gi-Oh is paying the bills now.

Marcus can be contacted to inquire about the identities of these individuals. I don’t know.

Many people claim that this tease is for Kojima Productions’ next video game. However, I am not convinced. It’s probably an advertisement for the studio’s recruiting page.

For good measure, one more.

Marcus is playing like a Dragon: Ishin The game is amazing. Riki Takeuchi is also featured in the game, which to me represents a major W.

It’s been a while since I was able to recall when THQ closed its doors.

Marcus was not kidding. Bomberman forced me to get those photos. This Forspoken photo is my way of hiding my cry for help. It is very possible that my life could be at risk.

The QR code was attached at Kojima Productions booth. You can scan it, and I’ll let you know the destination. After several tries, it wouldn’t recognize my smartphone and I finally gave up.

There you go, guys. You can still have all the TGS fun without being physically there. Next year, see you!
