Touring the Gamescom 2024 Showfloor | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Personally speaking, one of my favourite pieces of content to come out of video game expos has always been a tour of the public showfloor. I love seeing all the extravagant booths that publishers have put together, what free merch you can get, and the neat activities there are to do on the side. So, since I'm at Gamescom in Germany for the first time, I wanted to put my own little tour together.

I've only ever been to the Eurogamer Expo (now just EGX) in the UK and Summer Game Fest in the past, so the scale of Gamescom is probably what knocked me back the most. Spread across 11 gigantic halls (seven open to the public and a further four dedicated to games media), some of the biggest gaming companies in the world made their upcoming titles playable. PlayStation and Nintendo are missing in action this year, leaving Xbox to comfortably have the biggest booth of the lot.

Below you'll find all the pictures I've taken of the public showfloor areas at Gamescom, split into either individual games or a full company. I hope you enjoy!

Which booth do you think looks best? Share your pick in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

'Which booth do you think looks best?'

Cherie Booth. A smile like the Joker

I read that Capcom basically had huge lines for the Monster Hunter booth.

Otherwise I really like the Dune worm and Shadows motorcycle (he's so dumb and edgy, he becomes cool again)

That being said I think Circanas Mat Piscatella was right, the show was really missing Nintendo and their weirdness.

Did anyone get to play SW outlaws or assassins creed at this show.
Some impressions would be nice if they did.
