PAX Australia 2019 - Checking out more booths
PAX Australia is not just a place for the big guys to show off, there are also the little guys, the hardware guys, the indie guys and the quiet guys (tabletop and such). We now take a look at a host of the other guys, from Devolver Digital, to AMD, Red Bull to Samsung, check them out.
Kicking off with Devolver Digital, unlike last year, where they had a number of titles on show, this year it was all about Fall Guys and for good reason. Here are some photos of their booth, complete with Fall Guy colours.
On the tech side of things, we start with Razer, who had their largest booth ever at any PAX Australia show, and they have not been small ones before. Having the latest tech to the most popular machines, there was nothing they didn’t show off.
The booth that had the most consistent lines and contained only one single title, goes to Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers, with those who completed the challenge, scoring a show exclusive shirt. Plus they were giving away a free starter copy of the game to any who asked for one.
Hardware comes in various forms and the one that was the smallest at the show was from Samsung, who were showcasing their hard drive line up, plus it never hurts to have games to play and free mints to enjoy.
AMD were also at the show, but without a doubt, the reason that their booth was packed throughout each day of the show, was that it was the only location you could go to, in order to play DOOM Eternal, the first time ever in Australia. I played it at E3 2019 and loved it, so I can understand people waiting to play it here.
While not a brand you might know, Bluemouth were also at the show, giving gamers and collectors a look at the massive range of items that they bring to our shores. From wicked controllers from Nacon, to audio perfection in Lucidsound, heck you could even get ducked with Tubbz, there was a lot packed into their booth.
One of the largest booths at the entire show was that of the Red Bull, which was showcasing PUBG in various forms, usually in the form of the Fight or Flight tournament. Omen PC’s by HP powered the massive booth, which had parts of an airplane dotted about it, completing that military theme, it was pretty epic.
Asus were back again at the show and once again, had massive amounts of hardware to show off, but it was not just showing things off, they even took some time to dedicate to the history of the company. But let’s get real, it was about the machines and there were a lot to play with, including the new ZenBook Pro Duo, which I reviewed recently as well.
That is it for the loud portion of the show floor, look forward to some of the quieter parts soon. Did you visit any of the these booths and if so, what did you enjoy?
