It's a wrap. Mirror's Edge looked wonderful and we got a first look at Star Wars: Battlefront's aerial dogfighting mode, Fighter Squadron; meanwhile, a FIFA 16 trailer exhibited dangerous levels of TOP BANTS, but nowhere near as dangerous as the Sims 4 dance routine. Watch at your peril and read Martin's obvious discomfort below.

Our live coverage of this event has finished.

06:44 am UTC It begins. We're queuing to get into the Messe, and we've been handed our EA-branded wristbands. Martin Robinson 06:45 am UTC Is it bad that I'm actually excited by all that? Gamescom begins! Martin Robinson 07:44 am UTC We're taking our seats at EA's booth. You can smell the excitement. And a little white wine on Bertie's breath from last night. Martin Robinson 07:47 am UTC Just bumped into ARCH RIVAL vg24/7's Pat Garret, who is taking photos of a TIE Fighter. I can't believe this is what we do for a job. Martin Robinson 07:50 am UTC Doing this from a phone will lead to plenty of typos. Well, a few more than you normally see from me. So apologies in advance. Martin Robinson 07:51 am UTC I do love it when a big company locks the world's press in a room and gives them no Internet. Martin Robinson 07:55 am UTC Internet update, as I know you all dearly want one. I'm now tethered to ARCH RIVAL Pat Garratt's phone. I'm not sure if this is going to turn out to be some dirty trick. Martin Robinson 07:56 am UTC We've just under five minutes from going live. Martin Robinson 07:56 am UTC As far as clues for what we're about to see - well, we're flanked by Star Wars props. There's an AT-AT and a TIE Fighter. And a couple of screens pimping Need for Speed. Martin Robinson 07:59 am UTC One minute countdown! Martin Robinson 08:00 am UTC Lovely shade of blue being projected on the screens. Martin Robinson 08:01 am UTC Lights down, let's do this Martin Robinson 08:01 am UTC Dubstep and flashing lights. Let's maybe not do this. Martin Robinson 08:02 am UTC Andrew Wilson takes to the stage, sans suit jacket. Martin Robinson 08:02 am UTC I can smell his cheap cologne from here. Martin Robinson 08:02 am UTC Well, I doubt it's cheap. Martin Robinson 08:03 am UTC More importantly, I can see the autocue. Martin Robinson 08:03 am UTC There are a bunch of stooges in the audience. Martin Robinson 08:03 am UTC Whooping and hollering every big statement. Muppets. Martin Robinson 08:04 am UTC Need for Speed's first up, and we have our first handsome Swede - Marcus Nilsson - on stage. Martin Robinson 08:04 am UTC

Dappa: its like going clubbing for breakfast

Wub wub wub.

Tom Phillips 08:04 am UTC A couple of Porsches on-screen. Ugh, it still hurts that EA has exclusivity on the marque. Martin Robinson 08:05 am UTC 'Let's shift gears' lol cars. Martin Robinson 08:05 am UTC Ken Block's mental homebrew car is in the new Need for Speed. Martin Robinson 08:05 am UTC It's slightly mental that they're bringing back the story stuff - I don't know who asked for that. Martin Robinson 08:06 am UTC We can't hear a bloody thing in the auditorium - it's just reverb and dubstep. The perfect conference hell. Martin Robinson 08:08 am UTC Real-life cutscenes that blend seamlessly with the gameplay. Martin Robinson 08:08 am UTC FMV's so 1998. I love it. Martin Robinson 08:08 am UTC

Bedders: Real time....composting?

Plants vs Zombies cross-over confirmed.

Tom Phillips 08:08 am UTC Let's bring back Night Trap while we're at it. Martin Robinson 08:09 am UTC Boring story - I sat in Ken Block's car once, and he drove me around a car park very fast. Martin Robinson 08:10 am UTC We're climaxing with a new Need for Speed trailer. Martin Robinson 08:10 am UTC It has cars and people and talking and engines. Martin Robinson 08:11 am UTC I like the bits with the cars. Martin Robinson 08:11 am UTC It's the second attractive Swede - Sara Jansson of DICE for Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Martin Robinson 08:12 am UTC Again, I don't think anyone's that bothered about Mirror's Edge's story. Let's see some jumpy jumps please! Martin Robinson 08:13 am UTC That's more like it! Some very handsome gameplay, running at 60fps here in the auditorium. Martin Robinson 08:14 am UTC I'd play this video game. Martin Robinson 08:18 am UTC That was Mirror's Edge Catalyst, then, and mighty fine it looks. Martin Robinson 08:18 am UTC All the grand parts of the original with none of the chaff. Martin Robinson 08:19 am UTC Now time for the game that wasn't Knights of the Old Republic 3 but that everyone wanted to be Knights of the Old Republic 3 and that EA now wants to turn into Knights of the Old Republic 3. Martin Robinson 08:20 am UTC And to that effect, this expansion is a story-focussed affair that's starting everyone from scratch - a return to BioWare's storytelling roots, we're told. Martin Robinson 08:20 am UTC If you've got a Star Wars property in the year where Star Wars rules all it makes sense to give it a shunt. Martin Robinson 08:21 am UTC It still looks like quite an old MMO. Martin Robinson 08:22 am UTC What is this nonsense I bet it's Sims. Martin Robinson 08:23 am UTC The Sims 4, everybody, complete with some hollering from people in the audience who are probably on EA's payroll. Martin Robinson 08:24 am UTC

VideoGameAddict25: "We're going to give you more life to play with..." Through DLC!

And here's another!

Tom Phillips 08:25 am UTC For some reason everyone's started looking at their phones. Anyway, The Sims 4 expansion, Get Together, has just been announced. Martin Robinson 08:26 am UTC No. Please no. Martin Robinson 08:26 am UTC If this dancing on stage looks bad on the stream, I can assure it's even worse here. Martin Robinson 08:26 am UTC A few people just got up and left after that. Martin Robinson 08:27 am UTC I can't really blame them. ONWARDS. Martin Robinson 08:27 am UTC To Garden Warfare 2. Martin Robinson 08:28 am UTC

Ragedjinn: I no longer fear death

Well, I'm glad something positive came from that segment then.

Martin Robinson 08:29 am UTC Couch co-op is in for PvZ Garden Warfare 2. Martin Robinson 08:29 am UTC And an all-new hub area. Martin Robinson 08:30 am UTC Grass Effect, a tie-in with BioWare, is also coming. Martin Robinson 08:31 am UTC Has anything been announced yet beyond a suit for Garden Warfare 2 and a Sims expansion? Martin Robinson 08:32 am UTC

thomaslivingston: People just applauded a terrible pun. The Eurogamer writers must be jealous.

Bertie's sitting next to me, appalled.

Martin Robinson 08:33 am UTC It's the third attractive Swede - Patrick Soderlund! Martin Robinson 08:34 am UTC These are concepts from EA - I think I saw Criterion's game in there somewhere. Martin Robinson 08:34 am UTC And Bertie spotted a space dragon. Martin Robinson 08:35 am UTC It's internet darling Martin Sahlin! Martin Robinson 08:35 am UTC Genuine excitement in the crowd for perhaps the most adorable man to ever grace a conference stage. Martin Robinson 08:36 am UTC I think he's about to cry. Martin Robinson 08:38 am UTC Unravel does look bloody lovely. Martin Robinson 08:38 am UTC I think the character just pushed a used tampon into some water and used it to float across to the other side of the level. Charming. Martin Robinson 08:39 am UTC Wes, I'm told, is loving this back in the office. Martin Robinson 08:40 am UTC He just loves cute indie puzzle platformers. Martin Robinson 08:41 am UTC There are moments of reflection, wonder, beauty and discovery. Also you'll jump about a bit. Martin Robinson 08:42 am UTC Star Wars Battlefront, and lots of whoooping in the crowd. Martin Robinson 08:42 am UTC Yeah, I'm not even going to try and type that name. Martin Robinson 08:43 am UTC I love how stern this DICE producer seems. When she says she enjoys crushing others you believe her. Martin Robinson 08:43 am UTC Here's our first look at aerial combat in what, Fallout aside, is sure to be the year's biggest game. Martin Robinson 08:45 am UTC Everyone cheers, and then there's a silence as she steps on stage and stares us down. God, she's amazing. Martin Robinson 08:46 am UTC Fighter Squadron is playable here at Gamescom. We will, of course, run to that queue as fast as possible. Martin Robinson 08:47 am UTC Oh. My. God. Martin Robinson 08:48 am UTC FUT this, where's Pele? Martin Robinson 08:48 am UTC David Rutter comes on-stage, sans his sidekick, to introduce a look inside Gary Neville's house. Martin Robinson 08:49 am UTC Futfutfutfutfutfutfutfutfutfutfut. FUUUUUUT. Fut. Fut. FUT! Fut. Martin Robinson 08:50 am UTC Anyway, Gary Neville's got lovely curtains. Martin Robinson 08:51 am UTC Seriously. Martin Robinson 08:51 am UTC Stop trying to make FUT happen. Martin Robinson 08:53 am UTC I played FIFA 16 last week and saw this new mode - there's a short story coming up in a tick on the site, and impressions later in the month. Martin Robinson 08:53 am UTC I say short story - it's not like Carver or Cheever or anything. Just a list of features that they're announcing now. Martin Robinson 08:54 am UTC There are 900 new chants, 9 new stadiums. And people are leaving the auditorium. Martin Robinson 08:54 am UTC Srsly where's Pele? Martin Robinson 08:56 am UTC There's nothing under my seat. Thank god. Martin Robinson 08:58 am UTC

Ragedjinn: when did football leave

I think he just popped to the shops, he's back now though with an armful of Monster Munch.

Martin Robinson 08:58 am UTC That was FIFOO. Martin Robinson 08:59 am UTC And that, er, was the conference. Martin Robinson 08:59 am UTC Did they announce anything? Martin Robinson 08:59 am UTC I'm a bit confused. Martin Robinson 09:00 am UTC And that's a wrap. Martin Robinson 09:01 am UTC Thanks for joining us, we're heading to Blizzard which kicks off in an hour. Martin Robinson Load more comments Loading
