New PS3 and Revolution Info at GDC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the delicious-information dept.

GameDailyBiz has a talk with Jamil Molena, the Director of the Game Developer's conference, about the upcoming event. Some interesting stuff about what to expect out of the event, as well as some happy news about the Sony and Nintendo keynotes. From the article: "BIZ: What can you tell us about Phil Harrison's keynote? Will we finally get some new information on the PlayStation 3? JM: The answer is yes. In general, platform providers have a unique opportunity at the GDC to share knowledge with and inspire the people who will make or break their consoles, namely the game developers themselves. With that in mind, this GDC keynote, along with the Nintendo keynote by Satoru Iwata, have both been in development for several months, and contain significant editorial value and developer takeaway."

    What else is Mr. GDC supposed to say? "You will learn absoluteley nothing by attending. In fact, you'll walk out dumber!"

    Besides, it was obvious. E3, GDC, and obviously the Japanese conferences and trade shows always bring at least a few new details to light around product launch time, even if it's just new software announcements.

    BTW, this Slashdot story is an announcement about an announcement about possible future announcements (which everyone was expecting anyway). I love it.

      At least it didn't make the front page like the last 6 "ps3 delayed" announcements....

      er... sorry, the "1" ps3 delayed admission, and the "5" announcments of rumors that it may be delayed.

      I really do want to know what chip the rev has... I couldn't wait any longer though and finally bought a game cube. Actually my very first ever new game console. I had a aged fleamarket bought NES for a while (got it when the SNES was old and the dreamcast had just came out.)

    Oh right, the XBox 360

    Why would anyone want to buy a Playstation 3, with all its boring Blu-Ray movies like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4

    when instead they could get an Xbox 360 and play great games like XBox Live Marketplace and Windows Media Center Extender
