The Tokyo Game Show event always has some interesting artwork as its main visual, and The Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association officially revealed this year's piece. Ippei Gyoubu, who has been involved with TGS since 2010, returns for the key art, which reflects the keyword(s) "change/transformation" of the show's theme: "Changing Games: The Transformation of Fun."
Here's what Gyoubu whipped up.
Comments from the creator:
“I created this year’s main visual by visualizing the “emergence” based on the keyword “change/transformation” in the theme. A caterpillar becomes a chrysalis, breaks down its body and reconstructs itself to be born as a completely different creature. In a gaming world, technological innovation has evolved in the last 10 years and now that we’ve passed through the revolutions such as internet, social media and smartphone, I feel that we’ve come close to the time of the birth of a completely new world with all those revolutions blending well. I created this visual based on that feeling. This main visual expresses the ambiguity of whether the visual is a reflection of the metal or not, it’s a flat graphic or not, it’s stereoscopic or planar, and she’s a human or a robot.”
Tokyo Game Show takes place in Chiba from September 18 to 21.
