I could see people playing Monster Hunter World on 4 screens.

New character Io and Louis has announced.

I went further and found Andoroid.

Too realistic!

I had to doubt my eyes.
Their face, expression, skin, etc. were so real!
They could move and wave hands like that of human.

The truth is,

They were real humans!!

When I came back home, I checked the information on this Android and found that they were pantomimers!

I had to surprise again!
Their subtle motion was really that of robot!

Din’t I say their movements were that of human?

And I set VR!

Sorry I could not take a picture but I could enjoy 360-degree panoramic views.
Party members were walking in the desert and were attacked by big dragon on the way.
Members and dragon moved during the battle and I also need to look back to catch them.
Now I understood the reason people wearing VR kept looking back instead of looking ahead.

I think Itadaki Street is not that famous like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy but it is great game!
It is a kind of monopoly game and I was really into original Itadaki Street maybe about 20 years ago.

This is 30 anniversary since the first release of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy and they became Itadaki Street this time!
Don’t miss to check the voice as many popular Seiyu play the characters in the game.

I didn’t drink anything today after went outside home that I was so thirsty.
There was a line of people but I joined it and got it.
This Monster was zero-calorie.

Gaming Chair by EXRACER

I could sit in the chair.
Oh, this is comfortable but I did not notice this was a chair for game then.
Yes, certainly there is a occupation called pro-gamer now so they must use this kind of chair.
Using it just as a reclining sofa, it is comfortable!

There are classes, or partitions from A to L and VR Goggle set on the desk.
Desk is that of the one we used in class.

This set is made based on the image of “Total War: ARENA”
Total War: ARENA is also battling game online.

There are many seats to sit and enjoy food on the 2nd floor.

Cosplayers of some Video Games

Just before closing time, many cosplayers and companions come together and many people started to taking pictures so I joined them, haha.

I just took the pictures of cosplayers who had been around me at the time.
I could not understand most of the game or character but anyway thanks for posing!!

Summary

There were too many things to see.
What I tried is just a part as most of the popular VR games had a long waiting line.
You can also enjoy talk of producer, creator, seiyu, etc.
And if you try games or even if you did not try, you can get many things for free here.
Just prepare for long line!!

Actually my last game was original PlayStation and I think Final Fantasy 8 was the last game.
The progress of image, sound and technique since then is really surprising.

I felt like I was born in really exciting age.
I’m going to buy VR goggle one of these days!!
