Additional Infomation

 

Accomodation
There is this really decent Hostel I have found

[ http://www.safestay.co.uk ]

Its 45 minutes from the event venue
It seems fairly cheap, for now it looks like around 30 pounds a night
If you book as a group of 10 or more you can get 10% off! Find players to group with
It has a free breakfast buffet
If you can afford to pay more there are proper hotels closer to the venue

Flying in
There are 4 main airports you can go to:-

Stanstead:
This is really far away from London itself but it is GENERALLY the cheapest way to get to London.

Once you get to Stanstead you can book a coach or a train to get into London.
Check these for ways to get to London

http://www.easybus.co.uk/
http://www.nationalexpress.com/
https://www.stanstedexpress.com/

Trains are faster but generally more expensive

Heathrow:
The main airport people go to, when you get to heathrow you can actually get on the London tube network and go straight into London. (Picadilly Line)

London City Airport:
This is an airport thats actually in London. Its a bit more expensive but also check this airport as an option since its used alot less often

London Gatwick Airport:
Another airport to try, I have no idea about this airport though

Travelling
Just a few heads up for people travelling in, theres some things you MUST DO

1. Please Mind the Gap
2. Get an oyster card, if you do not, you will be paying extortionate prices to get around London
3. Please Mind the Gap

Other Info
If you have any questions you can ask me at @FrostyBolty on twitter, @Rayokarna on twitter, or @Zakonestar
I hope to see loads of players (especially for Arcana Heart 3 Love Max woohoo) and let us have a good time!

[Zoular]

Good shit!

[Frostbolt]

Yeah boy, time to play GAAMMMMESSSSS. Can't wait

[southpaladin]

Totally would love to come by and participate, work permitting. *heads off into the mountains to train until November*

[Frostbolt]

http://ngi-revolution.co.uk/ <--- The website is up! If anybody has any questions, do not hesitate to ask

[Frostbolt]

https://twitter.com/Frostybolty/status/488841494988853248 Now that P4A2 is confirmed for being Region Free...its in!

[SixWingedAngel]

There's a chance that I'll be in London for studies long before the tour date, I'm so in and excited about it!

[Frostbolt]

Revolution Update! 23/08/14

So there hasn't been updates recently. So I'm gonna add some info for Revolution in November!

1. Since Xrd is not going to be released by the time Revolution happens, it will not be there ;-;. We should have at least ONE GGAC+R Setup available if anybody wants to play that

2. Online signups will be closed on October, if you want to enter it would be best to signup before Oct -Here-

3. We have international interest! You can check the signup list -Here-

4. Some of the rules have been updated, mainly now that P4A2 is guaranteed now and Xrd did not make it. Also the timetable has been altered. Here it is!


Hope to see you guys there! If there are any questions, you can find me on twitter at @FrostyBolty or you can email Nthgeninteractive@hotmail.co.uk

EDIT: Woops I left Xrd there still, on the check-ins. Just ignore them :x

[R4KID]

So you cannot use an official Playstation 3 controller for P4U2?

[Frostbolt]

Yeah, it will not be allowed

[R4KID]

But why can't you guys just disqualify any people that press the home button. I'm an extremely good Yosuke player (P4U2) and would be very disheartened if I couldn't enter because of people pressing a home button.

[EXonestar]

You have to take in to consideration.
This isn't only based on "someone pressing the home button during there own match"

It also takes in to consideration "someone pressing the home button during "Another Players" match.

It would be very annoying if the last 5 people who were on that one set up - accidentally pressed Home and interrupted your match - causing you to lose the flow of the match or possibly "restart" a match you could have won.

Thats actually the main thing. If you accidentally pressed home and got DQ'd - fair enough. But if it was the grand finals and your match was interrupted resulting in your loss. Would you be calm about it?  (If yes, then remember. Not everyone is as Calm as you. Therefore to remove any risk of this happening, they are banned.)

[R4KID]

Are PS4 controllers allowed?

[EXonestar]

Yes. I use a PS4 Controller myself.  I bought it for EVO
Works perfectly and wired. So no one will give you trouble.

[R4KID]

Awesome thanks for that

========================== UPDATED INFO ===========================

[Frostbolt]

Yeah Dual Shock 3's are quite a topic right now. While people claim to have good work-arounds for the problem, it doesn't actually work...

Example Case
 

The issue with Dual Shock 3's for Tournaments

 

1. The DS3 pad can connect to any PS3 via Wireless, by syncing with the console using a Mini USB Cable
2. Once it is synced, it can turn on a PS3 wirelessly and control the PS3, as it is connected to the PS3
3. If a DS3 is off, you can turn it on using the Home Button, it will then attempt to connect to the last Synced PS3
4. You cannot unsync a PS3 pad, and turning the DS3 pad off just means it can be turned on again by pressing the home button
5. Because of this, somebody who WAS on the PS3 can turn on the PS3 (which to be fair, should already be on), and they can press the home button (refer to the video above, and note that it says that player 3 pressed the home button)
6. It is horrifyingly hard to find the Culprit

Removing the batteries from the Dual Shock 3 doesn't solve the problem for a number of reasons

1. You removing your batteries from your Dual Shock 3 does not stop somebody else from having a battery in their pad
2. To make sure their batteries are removed I need to check every pad
3. I then need to supervise EVERYBODY to make sure they do not put them back in
4. EVEN IF YOU REMOVE THEM. If you plug them into a Playstation 3 that isn't the one you last played on, if you mash the Home Button you can STILL home button the last console you were on, because it does not sync immediately. I was at Hessen Crash 15 and this happened, I got witnesses!

Using a dummy syncing PS3 also does not working due to supervision issues

 

Alternative Pads which are fine~

 

While these are not perfect alternatives, they are still workarounds which are pads, and will be fine for tournaments, not just for Revolution, but for any PS3 tournament ever

• Dual Shock 1/2 + USB Converter (for PC)...of any kind. Try to find a lagless one
• Dual Shock 4. These are expensive but you will be able to use them on the PS4 as well, so think of it as an investment...till PS4 tournaments happen and they are banned at PS4 tournaments
• Madcatz Fightpads, These are sick! http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=madcatz%20fight%20pad&sprefix=madcatz+fight+p%2Caps
• Hori Fighting Commander. Exonestar used to use this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fighting-Commander-3-PRO-PS3/dp/B0057WDD6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413321067&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+fighting+commander
• Of Course...a Wired Arcade Stick
