Phil Spencer speaking at GDC in March, keynote will be made available online

Microsoft just released news details concerning their presence at the Game Developers Conference next month. The event takes place at the Moscone Centre in San Francisco and Microsoft’s gaming division will be there to share more news about what’s next for Xbox One and Windows 10.

Phil Spencer will also host a presentation about creating games on Xbox One and how Windows 10 and DirectX 12 will enhance development. This will take place on March 4, 2015 at 11:00 AM local time. While the event may not be broadcast live, it will be available on Xbox Live, Channel 9, Xbox Wire, and other sources later that day.

Microsoft has a multitude of presentations planned for the Game Developers Conference. They range from topics such as coding for Xbox Live to using DirectX 12 efficiently. The company also has a large presence on the show floor, flexing their commitment to developers.

GDC 2015 is approaching fast, and apparently Microsoft is bringing the big guns to bear at the developer-oriented trade show. Not only the house of Xbox and Windows has an unprecedented amount of sponsored panels, but it also secured the biggest booth in the expo area (110 by 60 feet), plus one of the biggest ones in the business area.

well this is exciting. i mean, this isnt Sony here like with that PSX crap...Microsoft delivers when they put their all into an event. wow...whats to come...whats to come...right? anyway...speculation anyone?

This event isn't remotely comparable to PSX events. I am not even sure why that was brought up. These events are about development, API, developer tools operating systems, and ect...

The two highlights of the events will be MS's DX12, Valve's Opengl presentations, and possibly AMD's presentation (new hardware, and Mantle update)..

MS will show off on the new starswarm demo (coming really really soon). Highlighting the gains on the PC platform. They will focus on dx12 making it easier to develop simultaneously for the xboxone and PC. MS will not mess around. This is going to be the cleanest DX and new windows OS launch ever.

Valve will show off the brand new opengl, probably their OS, and steam machines.

AMD is showing something huge as well. My guess was Nintendo's new console, mantle updates, and the r9 300 series. The fact nintendo and AMD are sharing a booth area makes me like Nintendo is ready to announce it.

Its going to be a hell of a month.

Seems they will have a lot to talki about. Will be showing a few games as well. There will be an interview with the DX12 Team with InnerCircle before the GDC. I want to hear that podcat.

Oh boy, DX12 is sure going to us the world!

Will games be there too?

GDC isn't typically a place to announce new games but there has always been some. Its more of software/development show.

Lemmings will be disappointed once again. DX12 will not make a sizeable difference on the XB1. Sorry folks.

Im wondering which "exclusive" the xbone will lose this time...

well you need room for those Rare kinect shovelware

Actually, the XBox One will get more cross platform games from PC as a direct result of DX12. It'll also help ensure that the XB1 doesn't experience the same CPU bottleneck that some console games are starting to have trouble with...

Didn't they show Gears 2 at one of these? Would be great to see Gears 4. Show off dat Unreal engine 4.

Greatness is coming. Cows are mad,

Rare isn't making anymore Kinect games. I guess you missed that news and the Battletoads T-Shirt Phil was wearing at the Win10/DX12 event. Stay salty you clueless troll.

Let the hammer fall. GDC should bring us some great news from Microsoft.

GDC this year is looking really good.

Phil just gonna say due to the massive amount of games coming out for Xboner, there isn't enough room for them all this year so many will be released next year.

it was brought up because PSX sucked and was a complete disappointment.

i agree with everything else you said though. except i think that they'll announce some games as well. they're putting some money behind this...there's bound to be a few surprises here and there.

They need all that space because of how big the demo units are.

Looking forward to Steam Machines, new OpenGL and Morpheus developments. A release date and (good) price for hardware would destroy whatever limp excuses MS have.

Keeping the lemmings sweet by sucking up to a fanboy podcast and trying to butter up the bare minimum, I see.

Like the Windows 10 event last month?

Maybe MS will be generous and announce a game. Make a nice change.

Like the last ten trade shows.

@blackace: stay mad Rare is dead ages ago, i think you didn't read the news about rare pioneers leaving?

i think with a indie dev MS has a better chance!

Will it improve FPS, resolution and give more foliage?

Shssssssss just play alone and go with it..

They will announce games as they always will. Probably release dates of known and unknown games that will release in Spring and early summer along with surprises for the last two quarters. Possibly late summer as well since E3 will be in the summer. E3 will have games for the last 2 quarters.

Few games ever get reveal at GDC.

"creating games on Xbox One and how Windows 10 and DirectX 12 will enhance development."

That sounds incredibly uninteresting tbh.

Thats because its not for simple people like you.

Haha, I suppose that's what the 'D' in GDC signifies ;)!

LOL yeah!! Go play alone, nobody is allowed to play with you.......

i think he meant "along"(he's a dunce) but I see where u took it there ;) nice to see how low you actually are though lol. Go with it.

what are you talking about? Microsoft killed it with their Windows 10 event. The whole internet and everywhere was abuzz about it. Windows 10, Hololens, Xbox-PC crossplay, Cortona....they introduced some really nice stuff.

What noteworthy things were announced at the PSX event...can you even remember anything you cared about during it lol? I doubt it.

Windows 10- who cares 8 was so bad they skip 9.

Hololens is MS counter to sony VR.

Xbox one Pc cross play yeah welcome to 2006 the PS3 already did that and the PS4 is doing it since launch.

Cortona ugh..

Aside from this cool and incredible game.?

LMAO! Windows 10 still looks dodgy with that Cortana shit and tiles still hanging around, Kinect 3.0 demo units are the size of a car and won't be ready for years and the Xbone lost an exclusive. Cross-play is God knows when too.

Where were da big Xbone announcements? Only thing we got is that MS is slowly but surely shuttering the Xbox brand.

okie dokie....wow.

uh...ok then lol smh.

so what were the announcements from psx that you feel set the world ablaze and made it a better event than the Windows 10 one? every media outlet from around the world were writing/talking about what MS presented mind you...so please, pick the very best things psx brought to the table during theirs. i listed 4 things, but you can go with three if you want.

Did I say it was better?

Anyway, they announced games. MS announced snake oil and the slow death of the Xbox brand. Big difference as to who you should confidence in this gen.

You're arguing with @GrenadeLauncher and @tormentos and expecting replies that aren't fanboy drivel. Why would you waste perfectly good keystrokes in a keyboards lifetime on those two.

i know, dammit, i know smh :( its just that sometimes they say complete bullshit and you just want to ask them 'wtf?'.

Keep hanging on to hope, lads. Maybe at this precious keynote Spencer announces Fartza 5 on PC.

You are taking @tymeservesfate seriously.? Hahahaaaaaaaaaa

Yeah like anything he say is perfectly keystroke...lol

Hes is an even fanboy than me...
