Where will this be held?

HMV GamerBase

Piccadilly Circus,

London,

W1D 7DH

INSIDE TROCADERO

When is this session held?

Wednesday 22nd August 2012

Time?

12-10pm the event will be running, Persona4 Arena will be playable until 8pm.

Game(s)?

Persona 4 Arena is the main attraction, but BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend will also be there using the free set-ups.

Which Console(s)?

There will be a mixture of both XBox360 and PS3 consoles running P4A and BBCSEX so no one feels left out.

Will control pad/arcade stick be provided?

We do not provide controllers, we advice all visitors to bring their own pads/arcade stick!

What are the prices like?

£5 for venue fee!

Why are we doing this?

A lot of us here in the UK have been anticipating this game for some time now, this is our chance to get more time with it before it's initial release!

We also want Persona 4 Arena to be more accessible to new and veteran players, expanding our scene and ultimately having a much stronger community. This event allows others to learn more about the game in a stimulating environment.

Will there be a tournament?

This event will not have the inclusion of a tournament, it will go by to it's initial plan of casual play. Astral Heat are aware that not many potential attendees have played Persona 4 Arena prior this event. By having a tournament at this period of time will only go against the purpose of the whole event.

Is there a stream?

Stream is provided by NthGen Interactive and K49, and will be broadcast on http://www.twitch.tv/nthgenmedia

Getting there:

The closest Station to the place is Piccadilly Circus which is on the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines. Once you exit the barriers you take the exit to the left which has the 'Trocadero' sign. Do not go outside into the high street.

Pass through the automatic doors and continue to walk forward through all the break dancers (lol) and once you're near the escalators go up, and then turn left, it will be right there in front of you.

Please check your journey before the day, the Olympics is amazing but could hinder your journey.

Feel free to ask for more details about the event in this thread.

I assume it's still PS3s only for BB?

Great to hear that 360 is getting some love. Real hype.

Actually it is possible to have PS3/XBox for both games, making things easier for everyone coming, but of course Persona 4 Arena get the higher priority in terms of set-ups used.

Update to original post! More details will be revealed closer to date.

Which Console(s)?

There will be a mixture of both XBox360 and PS3 consoles running P4A and BBCSEX so no one feels left out.

Will there be a tournament?

Signs ups start at 12pm and close at 3:30pm. 4pm is when the tournament will commence.

Format will be groups into Single Elimination, best of 3 games per set.

However this is heavily dependent on the level of turn outs!

Another update.

This event will not have the inclusion of a tournament, it will go back to it's initial plan of casual play, Astral Heat are aware that not many potential attendees have played Persona 4 Arena prior this event. By having a tournament at this period of time will only go against the purpose of the whole event.

this is our chance to get more time with it before it's initial release!

Sorry for any confusion caused, we believe this will only attract more players to this event!
