rage has become such a waste of a good event. The first one was really awesome because they actually had the latest stuff on show and the newest games running there. Now its turned into a glorified retail show nothing new nothing exciting just a bunch of people selling stuff.
Hopefully Sexpo is the same time this year went last year and I had a absolute blast!
What did people expect from rAge last year?
In terms of hardware; No new consoles of any kind, were released. The biggest thing was probably DJ hero (/spit). (And I doubt PROJECT NATAL was ready for any public appearance)
On the PC side the only exciting thing was ATI's 5870 (which IMO could have been advertised better) and as we all know, we're still waiting a response from the green team. Then Logitech had their yet unreleased flight stick G940 present as well as the G27.
For games, they had a few stands with unreleased games (Dragon Age, Uncharted 2, Borderlands) and gave people the opportunity to play/demo them. Something that was even less present the previous year. Also the guy talking through the features in the new games, was nice (though I laughed at DJ hero thing).
Sadly, these were the highlights for the entire year, internationally as well. So unless rAge was suppose to pull rabbits from their ass, I dunno what else people would've expected from the expo.
One thing that I do agree on though, is that we are also there to see a show. If I wanted to buy hardware, I'd be standing in a shop. Retailers should put more effort in to punt their company and not the products they sell. More competitions and more events please.
