Game Developers Conference

WOO HOO!! Leaving tomorrow morning for San Francisco. I could only afford the Expo pass with my measly student budget but I got a contact there that will try to help me get into some of the talks and workshops (My professor's husband).

Personally, I'm kind of nervous being the first time attending it. I am told there are a bunch of companies out there who are accepting interviews and on-site interviews for different positions, including internships. I feel so small being a student in the midst of professionals.

By any chance, is anyone else going? Or is anyone here actually in the game development industry? Just thought I'd ask.

You must view a demo of Ageia's PhysX unit, and report back on its awesomeness or lack thereof. Failing that, at least see how much they expect it to cost the consumer. Inquiring minds must know!

And you must download its software based demo, for it is awesome.

Sweet, tell me if Nintendo mentions anything about the Revolution or the GBA2. I'm sorta hoping the GBA2 rumor is false.

IGN has some stuff from GDC up already. Is it more than one day?

EDIT: Listen carefully during Satoru Iwata's keynote tomorrow.

Ooh, let us know if the Infinium Labs guys show up.

And Zelda, definitely Zelda.

Ace...please PM me that pass...

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2005-03-10 06:18pm

It can be downloaded from IGN, though the quality is fair.

Utterly incredible...
Can you PM me too?

I'm not sure about the difference in quality, but you can get the new Zelda trailer here as well. The "High Bandwidth" version is 30mb, and I just copied it from "Temporary Internet Files" so I can play it offline.

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2005-03-10 07:59pm

The IGN one is only 10 MB. Downloading!

it is moments like this....
I am proud to have been a nintendo fan since the old NES days.....
(it just took me awhile to get a GC..like it did with the PS2....and the Xbox...)

If it plays half as great as it looks....damn we're in for a great game.

So... Anyone have a guess as to what the gimmick is in this Zelda? I have this sneaking suspicion that we've been shown it in this trailer, only in tiny amounts.

My guess? The scene with the ghosts and the wolf at the end. I seem to remember that Discworld Noir had a scent system where you could see scents as colored bands of air. Look what's behind the ghosts...

Could Link be shapeshifting in this one? Like, say... into a wolf?

Ok, that trailer looked fucking incredible.

Oh, and right click and save as

A nice hi-res version.

DarkSilver · Post by **DarkSilver** » 2005-03-11 01:21am

thanks observer

was having problems finding a downloadable version of it

-rubs hands together excitedly-

it'll be a shame if this isn't one of the best Legend of Zelda's ever...

Geekasm!

Ace...I once again thank you.

God damn that looks awesome. Want. WANT

I don't suppose anyone would have a HQ of Iwata's speech, would they? IGN has a LQ one for non-insiders, but at those sizes (7 50mb+ files), I'd rather just get the HQ ones and be done with it.

DarkSilver · Post by **DarkSilver** » 2005-03-11 07:06am

well, IGN does have the transcript of his Keynote Address, but no vid files...

where are you seeing the vids at?
-would love to dl a copy of the keynote-

Right here

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2005-03-11 10:30am

Dang, yesterday was awesome. New HHTTGG trailer, new Zelda trailer, new SW Ep 3 trailer (in HD!), new Sonic game trailer (with the main characters using MACHINE GUNS!)...
