Game Developers Conference

[Wavelength]

Honestly, this looks absolutely amazing. It's also apparently very expensive, and it seems like it's limited to people who work in the industry.

Here's a link to a list of Not-to-be-Missed events and speakers. It has me drooling.

Does anyone know if there's a way to see video of the seminars/lectures/events at GDC, whether past or present?

They do sell DVDs of most of the keynotes. Not sure how you buy them if you didn't go. They are expensive though.

Re: Game Developers Conference

most gaming websites have video of the keynotes and stuff and any new gaming information. I know G4 is going to be covering it most of the week, and sites like Gamestop and IGN and others will be covering it.

It will be easy to get information.

Re: Game Developers Conference

I'm here right now as a conference associate. It's pretty cool so far. We're playing Smash Bros Brawl tournaments (Japanese version) all week (just the associates, not the public). Made it to tier two before getting owned by a tourny player. Seeing Molyneux's session for sure, and seeing a session on Spore, though Will isn't set as a speaker (which I've heard is a good thing since he apparently tends to drone on).

If ya guys got any questions I'll try to answer them, but time to hop on the pc is limited (sharing with roommates and whatnot).

Any info on Spore?

Re: Game Developers Conference

Saw a working build of Spore yesterday. Sporepedia is up and running and things look very good. The speaker also confirmed that they are very committed to the September date. Also, I got to see a Cheeto creature. And hear its mating call.

Re: Game Developers Conference

I figured it was worth mentioning that they posted summaries of about 30 "Can't Miss" sessions.

Very cool stuff.

Ooh, I hope you enjoyed it, Pinky. Anything there that you thought was particularly fascinating?

Re: Game Developers Conference

Well, the things I went and saw were pretty specific - mostly about code. Particularly enjoyed a session on unspecified behaviors in C++, but that's probably boring to most people. On the "wow" side of things - if Lego Universe can deliver - it sounds like a cool idea. Additionally, the co-op gameplay for Fable 2 looks like it works pretty well (saw someone kill Molyneux's husband).
