IRL Real Life Events from the industry


FORMAT MCR May 25th


It was the biggest FORMAT event ever, taking up every available corner of Manchester’s popular Impossible venue and attracting developers and attendees from far beyond the North West. While the organisers’ claim that it was one of the best games industry events in UK history is perhaps a trifle overblown (they obviously never made it to the launch party for Acclaim’s 1998 South Park game), the one that calls FORMAT “the ultimate gaming social” is very much on the nose. The next one is scheduled for Thursday 26th October and, yes, we’ll almost certainly be there.
