Leipzig Games Convention - Location (Leipzig, Germany)
August 20 - August 24, 2008
Information About Leipzig Games Convention:
Leipzig Games Convention is a yearly event that takes place in Leipzig, Germany. Ever since E3 was killed, Game Convention (GC) in Leipzig improved and increased in size. It is now together with Tokyo Game Show (TGS) the biggest game event in the world.
The show usually hasn't been place for huge announcements, although considering the horrible E3 of this year, it might actually get some proper respect by console makers.
This year, the event is taking place on August 21st - 24th, and will be the place for PlayStation owners to find the first ever footage of Heavy Rain, and possibly announcements of the London Game Studios game.
News and Rumors:
I will list the news here including links that's coming from Leipzig. If the source is questionable, or if it's worded to be a rumor, I will put an asterisk* behind the title. If confirmed, there will be no asterisk.
The most recent articles will be put on top. Also, depending on the number of new articles, I might delete the games list when Leipzig
kicks off.

Possible To Set Things on Fire, Electricity in LittleBigPlanet
"You can set fire to pretty much anything, you can also make things ‘electrified’, or turn them to gas, which is very cool. I assume you mean "real water" that acts like real water does! This isn’t in the initial release, but we have some cool ideas for how to integrate it into a possible future DLC — of course, it will have a slight LBP twist to it. There is fog that you can tweak, and you could pretty easily fake a thunderstorm with the right sound effect objects and some ‘emitted’ rain drops or something."
No PlayStation 3 Pricecut on Leipzig Games Convention:
BERLIN (Reuters) - Sony Corporation does not plan to announce price cuts to its flagship PlayStation 3 games console at Europe's biggest video games fair in Leipzig, Germany next week, a company spokesman said on Friday. "It's not going to happen. If you're coming for that you'll be disappointed," Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Nick Caplin said.
