Gdc 2010

[ban25]

So who's in town for GDC this year? I'll be at the ng:moko party tonight and then will play it by ear after that.

I just started a thread over in the programming forum about trying to meet up with folks at GDC:

DS2 rumor:
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/03/14/rumour-ds2-screens-closer-together-reveal-at-e3/

Rpad TV did a little asking around at GDC to see what they could dig up on the DS2. What they managed to squeeze out of certain third-party developers was that, while DS2 will retain the dual screen format, both screens will be bigger and much closer to each other, essentially giving off the illusion of a single large screen.

Allegedly, development kits for the DS are similar in architecture to those of the Gamecube, despite prior rumours of the device being powered by an nVidia Tegra chip. An accelerometer is all but confirmed at this point, considering Nintendopresident Satoru Iwata himself has hinted at it.

Is there a site for all the GDC slides ? We had one last year.

Actually the link you're speaking about is still valid but presentations are still not up

Damn, what was that woman thinking? And she's the one responsible for making the games more user friendly?

Well dur, you solve problems by removing the features with the problems. Add it back in the sequel two years later and then you get even more awards.

2010 content is online http://www.gdcvault.com/free/category/280/conference/

Interesting graph in the Saint's Row 2 co-op presentation:

Silver 20%
Gold 36-37%
Gold Premium 12-13%

Where all of the above represent connected users... I guess that's 30% of 360 users are considered offline? But what's Gold Premium vs Gold

 

[obonicus]

We're not supposed to talk about it to non Premium members.

gold premium is just a bonus pack: normal gold plus random arcade game plus other junk.
