Tokyo Game Show had an earthquake? - Polidicks

[url]http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/09/16/tgs-2014-i-played-an-earthquake-in-japan[/url] [QUOTE]At a private pre-Tokyo Game Show event in Shinjuku, Japan, a few IGN Editors and I crowded into a small demo room at a Japanese game studio and gathered around a row of televisions on a table to play an upcoming PlayStation 4 game while wearing surround sound headsets. I can’t tell you about that game yet, but what I can tell you is that I played it during an actual earthquake. The game loaded up, I watched a cutscene, and I began to control my character, hitting buttons and attacking enemies as my DualShock 4 controller, which rumbled in synchronicity with my actions on screen. Then the table started rumbling too. “Oh cool! They have rumbling tables for immersion here!” my simple brain thought, my first time attending a demo at a Japanese game studio just hours after stepping foot on the country’s soil for the first time. Japan is a weird place. You can buy pizzas from vending machines and they have a robot-themed restaurant here. Then, the entire room started rumbling too. “Oh wow! They even have rumbling rooms for… oh crap, (I used a harsher word in my mind) this is an earthquake…” A 5.6 magnitude earthquake, to be exact. [/QUOTE] I double checked, and no. This is not satire. Tokyo Game Show was actually hit by a (small) earthquake in Japan.

Why would it be satire?

[QUOTE=EcksDee;46003239]Why would it be satire?[/QUOTE] Actually I thought about it when I looked at the nature of IGN's article. Plus I noticed there was an earthquake during 2011, but I don't certainly know if this one is more recent (given to the date of this article). Summing up: IGN shitpublishing about how it is playing videogames on an earthquake.

So no one else in Tokyo felt it?

[QUOTE=Megadave;46003269]So no one else in Tokyo felt it?[/QUOTE] That's honestly my question.

[QUOTE=Megadave;46003269]So no one else in Tokyo felt it?[/QUOTE] When I was there it seemed that relatively minor earthquakes were no big deal. Most people didn't even blink an eye.

[QUOTE=Megadave;46003269]So no one else in Tokyo felt it?[/QUOTE] They're buildings are earthquake resistant so it probably wasn't enough to cause major alarm.

[QUOTE][I]Earthquake is available in certain regions around the world on release date of whenever the hell it feels like it[/I] [/QUOTE] That made me chuckle.
