This GDC was the first big event that I've been to, so I guess I got pretty unlucky.

GDC isn't suppose to be that big, some games get announced but not many, E3 is all about numerous announcements of games though.

/Thread

(Always wanted to do that since joining Gamespot.) But I don't think it was all a Bust Iwata's Speech was great IMO. He gave away free games to everybody in the Crowd. He also Announced alot of cool things. And fixed many fans complaints and he said that fix was available at that exact time.

Lol. E3 doesn't even = E3.

All these game shows suck and it has been that way for the last 3 years. I used to be E3 was THE place to announce the gaming agenda for the year. Now, we're all lining up at drooling over one big announcement (if we even get that) and most of the time we're told about the announcement in advance of the show anyway so its not a surprise unless they show gameplay...which they often don't.

I think this is a problem caused by having way too many gaming expos spread through the year. Companies try to ration their news so they have a little something for each show. It only waters down the shows and makes them ALL less interesting.

It was a flop, at least Gears 2 and LBP were announced at previous GDC's. Even a dead, blind, disabled chimp would know another COD would be releasing this year.

No it wasn't. People expected big E3/TGS stuff from GDC. Its your own fault. People expected stuff like MS's big comeback. New Team ICO game, Kojima doing something 360 related, etc. The crazy assumptions ruined GDC. For me it was perfect

Cowboy Miyamoto disagrees with you. And you better watch out, or you will be the next one to be kidnapped.

Last year we had a lot more information, this GDC is lame. I remember having all the discussions last year about RPGs, Unreal Engine 3.5, future of story tellings in games, new Havok tools, and future of MMOs and what to expect from them. This year we didn't really get any interesting panels or demonstrations.

There's going to be something big announced tomorrow. The console which the game is for is unknown, but XPLAY knows something. They said at the end of todays show.

I'll try not to get too excited. The last "big" announcement turned out to be COD: MW 2, everyone already knew about it. It could be another MGS, but E3 would be more suited for that.

That'd be about as exciting as the MW2 announcement, unless it was Ninja Raiden. :(

I wasn't expected announcements about games myself, I just wanted some news on the industry itself like we got last year. This year nothing has really happened at GDC to note beside the fail device of onLive

And supposedly this years E3 will return to the old style E3 from a few years back. I have high hopes for E3 this year. IMO Microsoft is saving all they're unannounced titles for E3.

Your opinion is void because it's so dumb. Whoever got the least bit hyped for a developer'sconferenece should be a developer and/or wanted to learn. Not a fanboy waiting for gossip.

Exactly, they said they want to surprise us, I can't wait for it. I don't care about Sony for E3 because they have way too many games and I'll like to see what Nintendo can do.

I didn't have any big expectations. I thought Insomniac would reveal their Ratchet game and let us know if it was a downloadable or full game release , and they delivered on that.

Nintendo announced a Zelda game , and I saw some GoW III footage ....... so all in all , it wasn't bad so far.

I didn't like the art design of Zelda Spirit Tracks all too much, honestly and that was probably the biggest announcement there yet. Hopefully E3 '09 won't be like this year's GDC or last year's E3.
