Opening Keynote At GDC 2005

RobotWisdom writes "Alice of the Wonderland weblog has managed to transcribe and post the opening keynote address by Raph Koster from the Game Developers' Conference. It was based on his book, 'A Theory of Fun'. My favorite quotes: 'Fun is the feedback the brain gives while successfully absorbing a pattern.' and 'The differences between Cheers, Friends, and a medieval morality play are NOT THAT BIG.' Very upbeat, thought-provoking and inspiring." As an FYI: I'll be leaving for the sunny western coast in less than 8 hours. Expect coverage all week starting as soon as I get over jet lag tomorrow.

Not the Keynote to GDC

[VonGuard]

Raph Koster was not the keynote speaker for the Game Developers Conference, as this story states. Raph Koster was the keynote speaker for the Serious Games Summit, a smaller event that takes place at the GDC. The real keynote speakers will be talking later this week, and are from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. Sony consoles, that is, not Sony online, like Raph.
