This is the official VR application of TOKYO GAME SHOW VR 2021.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of TOKYO GAME SHOW (TGS), the first virtual exhibition site in the history of TGS is now open! Set in “GAME FLOAT” floating in the distant ocean somewhere in the real world, enjoy 20 exhibitors spaces, 2 official stores, 3 special video contents, and a theater where you can watch the official TGS2021 ONLINE program on a large screen!

In the unique virtual venue where famous characters welcome you, you’ll find a wealth of information about games, from the latest news to the history of TGS. Moreover, visitors can enjoy communicating with each other through voice chat, text message display, replaceable avatar T-shirt, and a channel function that allows you to go around with your friends.

In addition, if everyone collects the “Fragments of Crystal” hidden in the venue, the power of connection among game fans will be united...!

Better than I expected

A nice way to spend ~3-4 hours. Besides the UI, a quick tutorial, the NPCs and the map it was all in Japanese of course. Tons of trailers, screenshots, a short 360 video and some pretty impressive life size 3d models (and the occasional not so impressive cardboard cutout). By walking everywhere and trying to grab things I got 79 out of 84 of the easter eggs which are simple designs you can put on your avatar's shirt. Technically multiplayer but was pretty empty. I only saw two people last night. Quick wave and they were off. Would like to experience more conventions like this.

Really cool!

Video of all the areas here: https://youtu.be/twpe0THNjV8 What they've created is so impressive, it's great that anybody with a VR headset can now attend TGS without flying to Japan, haha!

A gamified Videogame Expo

It is better than I expected: you not only have lots of trailers and links to external websites, but also a vast area to explore, 3D props to see, and some humor here and there in the vein of a classical JRPG.

Future of Gaming Shows - INCREDIBLE!

What an amazing experience, so mood-lifting, exciting with so much information displayed so beautifully in VR. I found out so much about so many amazing Japanese games that otherwise I would have missed out. Me at the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqpy-27qESE Took lots of selfies, got some collectibles, even danced, and had a blast. I woke up in the morning in a bad mood and this is what I needed to "get out of the room" and have fun. I never attended such a fantastic virtual gaming show that presented itself so well. It was amazing seeing other people hanging around and having fun together. Everything was spot on, except that I don't know where my selfies are saved on the Quest 2. Thank you for such an amazing and memorable VR experience!

TGS2021 in VR is Awesome

Tons of areas, cards to collect, 360 videos, trailers for VR and non VR games and it all looks fantastic running on the Oculus Quest 2. Combine that with the fact while no smooth turning is offered we still have the slide movement so its all good. I was very impressed and had a great time visiting TGS2021 in VR, I hope they do this every year going forward. Video : https://youtu.be/fi5YVA3_M9k
