Troy Baker (Joker), Roger Craig Smith (Batman) and Elias Toufexis (Adam Jensen) to Headline X360A and PS3T’s MCM London Comic Con Games Stage Show This Weekend
Xbox360Achievements.org (X360A) and PS3Trophies.org (PS3T) today announced their exciting plans for their MCM London Comic Con Games Stage show this weekend, and it’s chock full of goodness that ranges from top development talent to some of the most skilled voice actors in the industry.
Elias Toufexis (Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s Adam Jensen) will be kicking things off on the Games Stage – hosted by X360A and PS3T – on Friday afternoon, before Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker – Batman: Arkham Origins’ Batman and Joker – will take the stage over the weekend for two sessions: one to talk all things Batman: Arkham Origins, another to talk LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
Taking place this weekend from October 25th to October 27th, the MCM London Comic Con is the UK’s biggest Comic Con and last May saw 76,000 movie, video game, sci-fi, anime, cosplay and comics fans descend upon the Excel Centre in London.
Over the weekend the Games Stage will also welcome talks from ‘Thomas Was Alone’ creator, Mike Bithell, on his new game, Volume, as well as looks at a handful of current gen and next-gen titles.
Capcom will take the stage to show off their upcoming digital titles, Dustforce and Strider; System 3 will be there to show off their PlayStation 4 titles, Putty Squad and Pinball Arcade; and we’ll be celebrating LittleBigPlanet’s 5thbirthday early with Sony and LittleBigPlanet Hub creators, Sumo Digital.
After last year’s outstanding debut, UK pianist Mark Fowler will perform once again, closing the Games Stage on the Saturday, with music from Portal, Mirror’s Edge, Skyrim, Final Fantasy, and even a few surprises.
On Sunday lunchtime the focus will shift to PC. Perihelion will be showing off its Kickstarter success ‘The Mandate’ - described as a mix of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly - and they’ll have some exciting announcements as well as the title’s gameplay debut. Then, Carbine Studios’ upcoming sci-fi MMORPG, Wildstar, takes the stage.
Expo goers attending the Sunday LEGO Marvel Super Heroes session will also be in with a chance of winning a huge Hulk statue worth £1,500, courtesy of Warner Bros. It’s one not to miss!
The full schedule can be found below, and all sessions will be live streamed on X360A.org and PS3T.org, so drop by and tune in next weekend for all action.
