GStar2011 Held successfully

November 14th, 2011

GStar2011 was held from 10th to 13th of October at Bexco Busan, Korea.

289,110 spectators and more than 200 companies, both the new record, participated in the event. However, some issues were remained as the homework for the organization.

The first issue was the small B2C and B2B areas. The most inconvenience was that B2B areas were separated at 3 different locations; especially it took 10 minutes to walk from 1st floor to 2nd&3rd
floor. That won’t happen next year!

Bexco is under construction for expanding the exhibition space. The 2nd Bexco, which is located at the left side of Bexco, will be available for GStar2012 B2B only. The size of 2nd Bexco is similar to existing Bexco itself. It will be connected to the original Bexco by a bridge. Therefore, you can expect 2 times bigger B2B section for 2012.

B2C will use the entire Bexco spaces with the new auditorium, which is located at the right side of Bexco. The auditorium will be used for events for game companies as well as press conference.

The second issue was Wifi. Some booth has a problem with internet at the 2nd day of Gstar2011 and mobile game companies like Com2uS had a serious problem with using Wifi because the organization prohibited using Wifi inside of B2C section. The organization promised solving Wifi problem and preparing more internet supports for the next year.

Other than the issues above, everyone agreed GStar2011 is getting better and better, especially B2B section.

G-Star 2011, major booth placement for B2C confirmed

August 4th, 2011

G-Star organizer confirmed the B2C booth placement of major companies for G-Star 2011.

The biggest booth would be NCsoft, Neowiz games, NHN, Nexon and Blizzard entertainment. The 2nd biggest are Webzen, Wemade Entertainment, CJ E&M, Mgame and Red5 Korea. There will be SEGA and Ongamenet, a cable gaming channel, as well.

 

 

The main difference comparing to the last year is that the main event stage will not be located inside of the building. Instead, visitors would expect more resting places.

Previously, the organizer planned to use all 3 exhibit halls for B2C. However, it will be the same as the last year; 2 and half halls for B2C and the rest places are for B2B.

The interesting point is Wenzen and Red5 Korea’s placement. Both companies are involving the law suit over the publishing rights for Asian territories of Firefall. Firefall is online FPS game with an open world environment and scheduled to be released on December, 2011.

Bexco where G-Star is held is under construction now to expand its exhibit room by the year 2012.
