[Combichristoffersen]

Very interesting!

Maybe it's a prequel with Zeus as main character, at the time of the war against the Titans.
And the next cover of PSM France hints at the ligthnings..

That would be awesome if the entire game was as the first great battle in God of War 3!

Sounds plausible. Could you imagine the mindblowing boss battles if every boss was a Titan?

 

[NIghtWolf]

I hope they show more vita games.

 

[Castor Krieg]

I hope they show more vita games.

I don't think GDC is the proper venue for that. Vita just launched in the west, has somewhat solid lineup all the way till E3. Announcements will come there.

 

[BadWolf]

I don't think GDC is the proper venue for that. Vita just launched in the west, has somewhat solid lineup all the way till E3. Announcements will come there.

It does have a very solid lineup but unfortunately not one that is selling systems, they need announcements to generate interest fast.

That would require announcing a price drop and/or Vita + memory card bundles

seems like the dude is looking for some twitter followers.

 

[TheBioLover]

Jak 4, God of War IV, Syphon Filter 4, Little Big Planet Karting, Sony Smash Bros, and Quantic Dreams new game announcements please. Oh and gameplay for The Last of Us and Sly 4. Couldn't hurt to have some first party studios (Sony Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games etc.) new IP announcements......




And if Sony is feeling really nice, maybe we can get some Agent and The Last Guardian gameplay.

Ahahahaha. It´s GDC dude. Don´t get your hopes up.

 

[Callibretto]

Ahahahaha. It´s GDC dude. Don´t get your hopes up.

why not, what the Last Guardian attempting to do is pretty unique in video game development scene. trying to create believable giant animal AI that you interact with and evolve over time is surely a topic that deserve a panel in GDC.

or at the very least, they can show the behind the scene development of that game to show what NOT to do so you don't get into The Last Guardian development hell.

Did Yoshida not say that the development is slow and it´s not playable yet? I remember him saying that.

No he said its is playable but not at the point they want to show it.

That post was really me pouring all of my hopes and dreams into digital form, so yeah, it probably won't happen, but a man can dream.

[DBT85]

That would require announcing a price drop and/or Vita + memory card bundles

There are Vita+card bundles at just about every point of sale in the UK.

 

[Globox_82]

typically people expect E3 like announcements, then list 10 games that they want to see....
Seriously same crap every year, do people ever learn?
Maybe we get one solid announcement, like GOW4. But to expect multiple reveals, ridiculous.

Advanced Procedural Rendering with DirectX 11
Matt Swoboda (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe)
Thurs 4:00PM

Hmmm? What does this mean?

 

[twinturbo2]

Please be Vita related, that's all.

 

[Withnail]

Hmmm? What does this mean?

Yeah a few interesting topics there but this one really jumps out. SCEE are doing stuff with DirectX?

 

[Derrick01]

I would think the Ratchet HD collection would be almost guaranteed to happen, given the leaks that happened yesterday. The date was listed as May too so this would seem the most likely place to announce it since it comes out before E3.

If we get that and a God of War 4 announcement (without co-op of course), then I'll be satisfied.

 

[Byakuya769]

Why is "The Last of Us" getting so much hype? It looks like the final quarter of Uncharted to me. Is there some info on how they plan on approaching the genre differently than capcom and others?

And before someone responds with some "HOW DARE YOU!!" bull shit, I'm honestly asking this and in no way am saying the game likely won't be really good.

 

[Rösti]

Hmmm? What does this mean?

This is what is says:

GDC Vault Recording: Video Recorded
Description: This session reveals the implementation details of some of the techniques developed by the PC demogroup Fairlight to render advanced visual effects that are usually only seen in offline rendering, but are possible in realtime and suitable for DirectX11 powered games. We reveal how huge dynamic procedural scenes, large and detailed fluid dynamics simulation and rendering and realtime raytraced illumination can be created on the GPU using DirectX11. The session focuses on ways to implement important building-block techniques such as efficient procedural mesh generation utilising DirectX11's feature set.

Takeaway: The session will provide attendees with an overview of the key features of DirectX11 for creating visual effects and some in-depth implementation details of some advanced effects in practice.
Intended Audience: This session is aimed at experienced graphics coders interested in or already using DirectX11, or anyone looking for some inspiration for their next generation visual effects.
Eligible Passes: All Access Pass, Main Conference Pass

Source: http://schedule.gdconf.com/session/13473128/Advanced_Procedural_Rendering_with_DirectX_11

I assume they with Fairlight refer to http://www.fairlight.to/. If so, this could be really interesting, just look at their work.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I might have just watched a leaked version of a GOW IV teaser.

 

[V_Ben]

I might have just watched a leaked version of a GOW IV teaser.

You... what?

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I might have just watched a leaked version of a GOW IV teaser.

Gimme link and imma suck yo dick fifty times

Gimme link and imma suck yo dick fifty times

It could be. Though I consider it very boring. Seems to tease a Deimos/Kratos game. Probably in like with co-op expectations

No way man. That looks like it is from amateur hour.

 

[-WindYoshi-]

Wait I thought Project Cafe was Nintendo's thing.

 

[StealthGoblin]

High chance its fake IMO. Very boring and the ESRB rating being there is suspicious.

 

[Kagari]

That video looks super fake... the ESRB rating is a dead giveaway.

 

[Tambini]

The logo looks off to me.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Doesn't help than the narrator or whatever sounds both drunk and can't speak english

 

[Chuck Norris]

Fake as hell. It uses the same audio as the first GOW3 teaser

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWGD14e2M74&feature=player_detailpage#t=173s

List to the end of both trailers

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Doesn't help than the narrator or whatever sounds both drunk and can't speak english

So it's a Sony rep talking

 

[Tambini]

Also, do you remember the God of War 3 teaser? That was awesome.

 

[iKeepPlaying]

Also, do you remember the God of War 3 teaser? That was awesome.

"In the end.... There will be only chaos"
That one? Because that one was awesome as fuck.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Whoever made that teaser probably isn't far off from the concept out GOW IV. If they are going to do online/offline co-op, it'll be Kratos and Deimos.

 

[Kerrby]

I don't think GDC is the proper venue for that. Vita just launched in the west, has somewhat solid lineup all the way till E3. Announcements will come there.

They need announcements at GDC for after E3 until the rest of the year. You don't announce games at E3 that are coming out in the next 6 months.

 

[Cyberia]

Also, do you remember the God of War 3 teaser? That was awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWGD14e2M74

So freakin good.

 

[Globox_82]

fake imo. but not a bad fake

 

[Lingitiz]

Pretty fake, when the game is actually revealed I think the teaser will be at least be CG or in engine, not just talking over pictures. Also, that logo looks odd.

 

[tirminyl]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWGD14e2M74

So freakin good.

That still makes me wet and really makes me want to play through it again!

 

[Combichristoffersen]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWGD14e2M74

So freakin good.

Now I want to play GoW III again

 

[Duffyside]

If the next GoW involves Zeus, I bet he gets killed at some point in the game, probably the beginning, and then gets sent to hell, and then, like, has to climb out of hell. Man, I hope that's what happens. That would be so epic.

 

[newjeruse]

Link

It could be. Though I consider it very boring. Seems to tease a Deimos/Kratos game. Probably in like with co-op expectations

Shitty kerning on the logo is a dead giveaway.

 

[Mondriaan]

My guess is that it's an announcement that PS3 Home will support move and 3D. Or maybe Sony is buying Taco Bell.

 

[sometimes]

When are 'announcements' supposedly happening?
Are there keynotes or anything or is it just dev sessions etc?

 

[darkwing]

Just sit and watch. We are talking about Sony here.
