I will post updates here...

And on Thursday at 10:30 am (PST) is Kojima's keynote :D :D

EDIT: Ueda's session is a game design panel not a keynote so don't expect any announcements.
Have you been on some of the many many Insomniac presentation ?

People are stupid, hence the thread title.

GDC09: PixelJunk Eden profitable after one day of sales

Publishers looking for a quick buck don't need to focus their efforts solely on the iPhone. Sony's Susan Panico touted the values of PSN development by providing a case study on PixelJunk Eden, Q-Games' third PSN-exclusive title. Panico told the GamesBeat audience that "PixelJunk Eden made its return on investment within 24 hours." Sales after that period become pure profit.

Of course, the success of Eden is a little unsurprising, considering the popularity of PixelJunk Monsters. Regardless, it's impressive that a small independent studio was able to create a trusted franchise exclusively through the PlayStation Network. With so much green made off of Eden, it's no wonder Q-Games is working on an expansion for the game. Eden Encore will be available in April.

Good news for Q-Games:D

I'm sitting on the Insomniac full day tutorial right now (Secrets of Console and Playstation 3 programming). It's been very good until now (lunch break). Mike Acton and Joe Valenzuela presented some of their game engine tricks in the morning.

Did they explain how they pulled off the freaking awesome window crack effects in the Resistance games. I've always thought those were some amazing and realistic effects.

Picture added to compete with the amount of Link and Zelda pictures flooding this thread. I want to get the thread somewhat back on topic.

you guys will never get the true relationship that we have between pure forms and zelda. mock all you want, i'm going to continue to dream about the game, post it on message boards, and pretend it's totally normal and not obsessive compulsive/ass burger.

Edit: LOL at insomniac talking about technology. r2 is fugly

The last one like that was shit.

Um... hmm... unless Zelda II: The Adventure of Link or the two GBC games have you play as Zelda (the only three games in the series I haven't played yet), I don't think I've played a LoZ game where Zelda is a playable character.

And what's with HK-47 spamming up this thread? Condense your shitty opinions to one post, please, it makes it easier for me to ignore them. :p

You sir have never played the CD-i Zelda games. Sure, they suck, but one has you play as Zelda in a Zelda II side scroller, and the other has you play as Zelda in a traditional Zelda like game.

I'd be shocked if Nintendo revealed the newest Zelda at GDC. Would wanna save a real megaton like that for E3. But Nintendo seems to do what they want so...

Ah. Ok. Everything makes sense, now. Proceed.

Has to be, since PH is, you know, pretty much the best handheld LoZ.

I'm referring to Phantom Hourglass. Sorry if some of you were trying to forget it existed. I apologize

And I'm not spamming grayghost. Put me on ignore if you want, or go drown in the blue ocean. Either is preferable, you loon

Has to be Phantom Hour Glass, all the other Zelda's are great. Unless you are counting Four Swords, but that was pretty good if you could muster all 4 players.

Yup there's no way anyone will be able to track all the happenings of GDC in one thread let alone discuss it.

Four Swords is great and so is the GC version that was butchered by Nintendo's stupid need to shoehorn connectivity in.

Picking people up and refusing to put them down never got old

The Ledgend of Zelda Meets DragonballZ

This story takes place after Link has defeated Ganon and in the dragonballZ timeline were the Androids have just arrived.

Link and Zelda are sitting in Hyrule castle drinking some red wine in front of a fire when a small shimmering light comes flickering in the notices this light and then jumps up in excitement as he realizes its his child hood friend, Navi. When he jump up he throws Zelda off of him and she land on the ground with a thud.
"NAVI!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Link asked in excitement.
"Link have a seat for what I am about to tell you will astound you" Navi repies in a grim voice. Link takes a seat after helping up Zelda.
"I'm ready..." Link says in a serious voice.
"Good, there is a new danger but it is not directly in our world...in a land far form here there are very evil beings called "androids" in which will end up destorying there whole world and after that they will come here. They are increadably stong and increadably evil. They need the help of the ledgendary hero. You must pull the sword once again, and save the balence of the universe. Please will you help these people? They need your help..."
Link stood with an angry glare in his eyes, his head tilted down a walked out of the room and down the stone hallway. He threw open the doors of a small room and he emered with a green tunic on his brown boots, mirrored sheid in hand.
"Thats the Link I remember!" Navi shouted as he hovered over his head.
"Just one more thing...MY SWORD!" Link shouted. He barged out of the castle door and went into the temple of time. He pulled a small blue insterment out of his pocket and put it to his he played a melody on the insterment a symbol over the stone door in front of him open and a light poured he walked up to the pedistal of time a flash of light blinded him and out steped a very fimilar face. It was the face of Shike.
"I cannot come with you Link, and I know you will need as much help as you can get...please dont forget me when you are gone, and remember this song it will give you strength when you are weary." The figure pulls out a harp and begins to play a very sorrowful song.
Link puts the insterment to his lips and plays the melody "I will remember...forever"
He wispered as he looked at the figure in front of him disaper. He steped up to the sword and grabed it by the hilt. Pulling out of the stone unto which it lay with great ease. A blue light surrounded him and soon he was transported to the Temple of sages. There he met with all his old friends.
"Link we know of your newest quest, and we have agreed to give you a new item. This is called the Triforce Pendant. It gives the beared an increadable power. We know not what the power is but it is said my ledgend to be the greatest in the land."As this was said Saria hands Link a pendant with three golden triangels on Link placed the necklace around his neck, he felt himself being pulled form the sacred relm and Hyrule itself to a new stands on a small cliff overlooking what seemed to be some sort of city.
At the same time the Z fighters were gathering.
"Well guys we are all here...eccept for Vegeta. Were could he be?"Goku asked.
"I dont know after a while I just lost track of him."Bulma replied as she played with baby Trunks.
"Well its 10:00 and no sign of the androids yet."Yamcha said as he looked down at the huge city below him.
"Hmmm....Lets see here lets get the biggest power reading out there..." Piccolo said as he looked around. "Well...well, Wow we got ouselves a whoper here guys. Its in that direction and it feels like a 1,000 at most" He said with a smirk.
"Lets go and check it out..." Kririn all began to float into the air and head in the direction of the power Piccolo had felt just momments before. As they got closer they all heard a very soothing melody and saw a small lad around the age of 16 sitting on a cliff playing an first to land by him was Goku and the others hoverd above as Goku had requested.
"Hello there...My name is Goku an who are you?"The lad looked up from his inserment and stood up."My name is Link are you the one I was sent to help in the battle agenst the androids?" Link asked.
"YOU ARE GONNA HELP ME?" Goku pointed at Link and fell over in laughter. Link looked at him and just sat back on the ground shakeing his head.
"Guys its ok come on down" The others landed softly."This guy says he is gonna help us HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" They all looked at him and then began to snicker.
At about this time an exposion happend in the sky behind them. All the Z fighters looked quickly and Link also stood.
"Its them!" Piccolo shouted as they saw two figures head into the city.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Well Surfertranny's record has been pretty good, but I seriously doubt that Aonuma isn't wokring on it.
The rumor if I remember correctly was that there were two zelda games: a spin-off by Retro and proper Aonuma one.

There can never be enough Zelda, Excite, Metroid and F-Zero. Since two of those seem to be officially dead, we have to settle for the others.

Actually yes you can. Tons of people were burned out from Zelda after TP and PH. Metroid and F-Zero dont release nearly as often
