Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 GDC 2009 is currently under way. Its kind of like E3 only... not. http://www.gdconf.com/ What's been discussed so far? (all links to Eurogamer.com as they've been kind enough to report it all. I don't feel like copying and pasting all their reports into this one thread though) World of Goo co-creator Ron Carmel reckons protecting PC games with DRM software is a waste of time and money. Games for Windows disagrees however and introduces new measures against pirates Where as Valve claim to have made DRM pointless with their Pirate Proof Steam New Console for 'Emerging Markets' (that's polite way to say poor countries) OnLive gets publisher backing Team Ninja saw Ninja Gaiden 2 - but don't miss Itagaki Oops no death idea in Prince of Persia was a mistake... Ubisoft finally agree. Wii all love the Wii - 50m units shipped since launch. Game Releases Agency and DC Universe Online confirmed for 2010 Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Shown (with multiplayer details) Ubisoft unveils Eugen's RTS R.U.S.E. - Ubisoft do WWII game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now they need to make sure that there's no sailing, and that he fights a giant spider in the 3rd dungeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smues 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2009 Another DS Zelda? I am so there. Looks good too. I don't know what to make of the train stuff, but I never know what to make of the new 'oh that doesn't look so hot' Zelda addition and it always ends up being ok to good, so I'm not worried.

Smues 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 Something I just thought of, did they specify if the new Zelda is going to be DS or DSi? Because sure I'd upgrade to the DSi for Zelda, but I'd rather not have to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because sure I'd upgrade to the DSi for Zelda, but I'd rather not have to. DS, at least according to the trailer. I wouldn't be shocked if they made it DSi-only to hock the new hardware, though.

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 Another MGS in the works At his keynote speech at the Game Developers Conference today, Hideo Kojima as good as confirmed that another Metal Gear Solid game is in development. Having taken us through all the design hurdles, or "missions" he's overcome in the history of the Metal Gear series, he concluded the talk by presenting the final mission: "The Next MGS." He said he wanted to tackle this mission using a combination of Japanese and Western development philosophies. He described his approach, the typical Japanese approach, as being design-led, while he identified the recent trend in Western game development as being led by software technology, particularly the freedom of open-world games. He invited developers in the audience to challenge his "old-style" approach by coming and talking to Kojima Productions, and perhaps working there. The studio's hiring at the show. It doesn't quite amount to a formal announcement of a new Metal Gear Solid, and it was met with a muted reception at the keynote. Perhaps this was because the audience wasn't sure if Kojima was joking (it was a light-hearted talk), or perhaps because it's no great surprise. Is this what we can expect to see from Kojima at this year's E3? We can't be sure. No indication if its PS3 only or on the 360 too. But given how established the 360 is, and studios facing a the 'credit crunch' I can't see them holding back a multiformat release. The GDC has been pretty decent so far, I'd almost go to say its topped last year's E3 in terms of information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 Remember like 2 games ago supposedly we'd seen the last Kojima MGS? Yeah... I'd rather hear of a new ZotE, but whatever. I suspect Kojima's bosses would boil his balls in oil if this were another PS3 exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
