Im assuming they're will be since they always ask him questions about Shenmue 3 whenever he attends a game show. Hehe I'm looking forward to see how the forest look like this time around. It was my favorite part of Shenmue 2.

I'd probably just go there for the day YS Net are there so that should work out. There really aren't any other things at Gamescom I care about so I'd be ok with briefly visiting the fair.

The chance to meet Yu Suzuki face to face, only a two hour drive/train ride from home sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to me. I really gotta find a way to make this work. Hope YS Net announce the exact date soon so I can plan ahead.

Yeah if that's the case then I would go for it!

I'm a returning visitor of Shenmue related shows in Europe.

Count me in! Will be there with my wife (no date, waiting for further information).

Live ~250KM (One way trip) from Köln Messe.

Im thinking of coming aswell but i need to know if Yu will actually be there and what day. And i heard the crowd at Gamescom is madness, i dont want my gf to behead me for taking her there. :P

But really, the true problem is that we dont know if Yu will be there.

The problem with the crowd is the only one reason for me to not going to the gamescom. But the good thing is that the costs for the tickets are cheap. E3 is way to expensive.

Just asked Gamescom about tickets and they said Friday and Saturday are sold out already so might be worth checking when the panel is where they're showing Shenmue 3...if it's Friday/Saturday then those of us wanted to buy it for then are basically fooked.

Man it really is crazy with the crowd. Almost two months until the event and days are already sold out?
Back in 2007 when I went to the Games Convention in Leipzig (the predecessor of this event) I could just go to Saturn (electronics market) the day before it started and buy a season ticket without any hassle...

Here's a tip for anyone searching for accommodation but getting nowhere.

Sites like Trivago and booking.com are showing inflated prices and no availability left close to the venue. But I decided to email a few of the places directly, and I was able to get a single bed room across the river for £280 Tuesday-Saturday. It is one of those shared bathroom type a deals but I've stayed in lots of them whilst travelling so it's no problem. I actually love places like that since you can meet so many great people. It's a good deal, and I'd say less than a half hours walk to the venue. Here's a picture.

Its also right beside Cologne Central Station so transfers to and from the airport will be hassle free. My flights, and Gamescom tickets are also booked so I can now look forward to a lovely 4 day break next month.

So I bought my tickets for Wednesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday are sold out it seems. Could still get them through Ebay and so on.

Not gonna do that right now though. Will get tickets through Ebay once they determine the date for Shenmue if it's not on Wednesday or Thursday.

Sucks that tickets are personalized though. But I'm not too worried, however. No way they can check all the people's identities. Have been to a bunch of international football games with personalized tickets before but never had my ID checked.

I will not be attending but I will be looking forward to keeping up on the news. I generally don't get too excited for Gamescom so this is new for me. What I would really love to do, but won't happen, is attend PSX this year. I've wanted to go the last two years as well but there just isn't the time off or the money for me to go. :sad:

For poor people like me, does gamescom has a live stream as e3 had?
