LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
So is this the thread for all the PR crap coming from the show? I get the feeling any attempt at discussions on lectures, roundtables, etc would get lost in here. Speaking of, anyone know what Will Wright is talking about this year?

I will try to post all the news in the summary thread for easy access. A mod may fill in if I don't do it fast enough.

Catch-all thread here. For collecting together any news, and for posting news that may not warrant its own thread.

Can still post news and session talk/info in their own threads of course!

Between this thread the and the ApocalyPS3 thread, I'm genuinely convinced there are people who never learned about time zones.

Sam. Do you have any insider info on the new Bourne game from Starbreeze/EA? Any chance of the game being at GDC? :D

Nada, mang, sorry. There are still studios who haven't yet announced their projects, though -- studios that apparently are so secretive about it they don't want to be named as showing stuff off. Unless the embargoes are ridiculous, I'd expect some interesting revelations in a few days (if not a few hours). Soo... Not what you wanted to hear, I know, but hopefully there will be something else that piques your interest.

I can't wait to get up to SF for this. I think I get more and more excited for GDC each year.

Though I usually am not thinking about the pain each morning entails. That's what Dottie's is for though!

Hi Sam Bishop - we need to hang d00d.

Gamasutra wrote up an article about the Facebook keynote. Here's a few segments:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...ynote_Discusses_True_MultiPlatform_Gaming.php

GDC: Facebook Keynote Discusses True Multi-Platform Gaming

Gareth Davis’ GDC Social Gaming Summit keynote was a mixture of old and new, but his larger takeaway was the potential future of cross-platform gaming, based around your friends.

...

Now that Facebook is available on iPhone, consoles, desktops, and other devices, Davis envisions a future in which developers will tailor content to specific device. You could be playing a different aspect of a single game universe on iphone compared to someone who’s playing on console, with another person on desktop or web playing something strategic – but everyone’s playing the same game. This has long been a dream of a certain set of developers, and Davis poses that the Facebook platform could make it a reality. Not that all of the games would run on Facebook, but they could use the platform to communicate with each other.

One interesting future-looking aspect of Facebook is the use of identity in games, taking players’ profile pictures, hiring on friends, and the like. “Every [traditional] video game I’ve played, it was absolutely nothing about me,” David said. “I was totally anonymous. A Facebook game is different.” It can know age, name, face, friends, and he says there are lots of opportunities there, like tuning a sports game to know what college you graduated from, and your favorite sports team.

“Imagine a game where the story includes my real-world relationships,” he continued. “Imagine I’m rescuing a loved one, and the characters look like people I know,” and items are based on things you know and like.

They just mean Sony is shouting "FIRST!" in doing this.

Sony video delivery service doesn't really have a name as it is part of the whole PlayStation Store offerings. You can call it PlayStation Video Store if you like.

The writer in that part of the text is just saying that Sony can scream "FIRST" as some of the commenters on youtube annoyingly post when commenting on videos. Then the rest of the first paragraph takes all doubt that that is the case:

an announcement that claims the PlayStation Network is the first online service to sell high-definition movies from all the major movie studios: Universal, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Walt Disney, Warner Bros and, of course, Sony Pictures.
