Markiplier, SeaNanners, and many others were there. I'm a big counter-strike player, and I got to meet summit which was amazing. People: Lots and lots of Twitch streamers. It was easy to figure out the building over the three days.Ĭompanies: Twitch, Alienware, Greybox, Gigantic (name of the game, not sure the makers), Intel, Logitech, Oculus Rift, and many indie developers.

I thought it was big enough and it was clean too. I already plan on going to PAX Prime later this year :) Also, it hardly cost me anything in transportation because I live in Louisiana, compared to many that had to fly over here for the con.Ĭoming to PAX South has made me so hyped for other PAX's. I didn't mind, I like seeing the small indie games. The place was too small and there weren't any large companies there. Many PAX vets said that it was not worth it.

There were many indie games available to try out and there were almost zero lines for everything (except Gigantic and some other popular things such as the oculus rift).

I had so much fun meeting famous Twitch streamers, YouTube stars, and important people from some important companies. It was my first ever video game convention and I will say it was absolutely amazing.

I also really got into the Power Rangers Zord fighting going on the stage, I think everyone lost it when the head started flying around.Īnd then we went upstairs and found the Free Play arcade room (turns out I'm not a Street Figher pro).Įdit: Shout out to the Bittersweet Lulu I spoke to while waiting in line, the guys who were playing Super Mario X and talking about Fire Emblem, the Dev Team at Valkyrie for taking the time to discuss the game with me, the Intel guys and girls for entertaining and talking with us while waiting in line, the Indie guys for making the fun games and fun environment, everyone who cosplayed (especially the Halo / Zelda crossover) and Game Over Videogames for having Zelda Oracle of Seasons! I've been looking for that one. It was nice jumping in and out of games with 4 to 8 other people. One in particular that I really enjoyed was a Megaman inspired game that required you to ride along the tram and make it to the other side Nidhogg style. The first couple of seconds on the Oculus Rift actually gave me that same feeling a rollercoaster does when dropping.Īfter that we went around the booths looking for stuff to buy and ended up running into a whole bunch of Indie games. It was without a doubt our best experience. Combined with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, PAX South has been brought to end for the time being.The first thing we did when we got in on Sunday was wait for about 30 minutes to play Valkyrie. The size of the show was also the same as the first event in 2015, where it hasn't grown or reduced since then either. While PAX South was another iteration of the event that allowed fans in Texas to get together, it was noted as being a smaller event than its counterparts. The official Twitter account posted to fans a variety of factors that resulted in the cancelation of the convention. PAX South was an event that took place in San Antonio Texas, the first event being hosted in 2015. As the event got bigger and attendee numbers grew, this resulted in the event being expanded into several different branches, culminating in conventions taking place in different cities through PAX East, PAX Unplugged, and even over in Melbourne through PAX Australia. PAX was a gaming culture convention that involved tabletop, arcade, and video games, first hosted in 2004, in Bellevue Washington.
