I've been requested to post my favorite swag item from E3. That elusive title, hands down, goes to PGA Tour 15.




.....Golf Balls!!!

Okay, probably my truly favorite item from E3 is The Witcher 3 press kit. This was given out to select press at a invite only gameplay presentation showcasing the game's awesomeness (I can't go into specifics, just know that it was awesome ). The room was tiny with about 30 others, but with free beer who can complain?

...it doesn't stop there...

After the demo presentation they held interviews, and that's when I noticed the box in the bag was a statue.
I recognized some of the developers there from previous events and they were kind enough to sign it, going so far as to let me go into their private room to meet the head honchos from CDPR.

Among the signatures includes CD Project Red Founder Marcin Iwinski, Senior Game Designer Damien Monnier, Game Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Managing Director Adam Badowski, and Lead Concept Artist Damian Bajowski.

Getting the game for free doesn't hurt either...




...all in all what made the experience really special was the free beer.

And free game on GoG.com on top of that. Those guys are amazing really.

Of all the Triple A game studio today, CD projekt red is by far the on that think the most about what player really wants at all levels, be it advertisement, excelente pricing for their incredibly high quality collector's edition, and more importantly, DRM FREE GAME FOR FUCK SAKE. ( take that EA, UBI soft and so on )

I really hate to buy a game with a damn Steam CD key inside that is unable for resell afterward witout selling your steamaccount.

I really hate to buy a game with a damn Steam CD key inside that disable the possibility to resell it if you want to.

So GoG legit? I always assumed they were selling hacked games for some reason. The whole no disc or internet check thing always seemed funny to me but I suppose I never knew much about it... that is what I get for assuming

I completely agree. They also seem to employ the most passionate people in the industry. People that strive to make a great gaming experience without constraining themselves with limitations like deadlines and quarterly profit reports.

Just look how they react to winning IGN's E3 Viewer's Choice.

flatout, do you happen to remember a certain ebay seller that was somewhat of a douche to everyone? The same seller that mysteriously had a shite load of E3 watch dog tins last year...

The reason I ask is because I now just realize he was one of the guys at the Witcher demo presentation...btw, he's an ass in real life too. lol

This Evolve sweatband was given out to the winners of the competitive deathmatch during E3.




Can't seem to find it, but a shirt was also given out.

edit: I cheated and used a ebay pic.

Exactly, and they are super friendly with their FAN. I went at Gamescom last year and was in queue for a T-shirt of the game at the end I started the conversation with one of the level designer " Miles Toste ". Well as soon as I said I worked in the game industry too as an environment artist ( which is slightly related to what he does ), we got a discussion of over half an hour about everything that we though made a game " FREAKING AWSOME ", while people were around him wanting to have a word with him too, it was too late for them, we were having a passionate conversation about our work and there was no way to interupt us

I'm pretty sure you have an idea of how much love and passion the guy had for his work and the need to make above excelent work, everything reflected back at me while we were speaking.
In the end he even gave me his contact card.
