Game Developers Conference 2008

February 18-22, San Fransisco, CA
http://www.gdconf.com/​

A partir do dia 18 teremos bastante novidades a respeito daquilo que todos nós nesse fórum gostamos: videogames. A GDC é uma feira centrada PRINCIPALMENTE nos desenvolvimento dos jogos e aprendizado para developers, mas todos os anos grandes novidades são mostradas nessa feira, como a HOME e LBP, que foram mostrados pela primeira vez na GDC do ano passado. Esse ano não deve ser diferente: Provavelmente teremos novidades a respeito de todos os consoles.

Conteúdo - GDC

Conferência da Microsoft: dia 20, às 10:30 AM (PST) - 15:30 (Horário de Brasília)

Insomniac's SPU Programming Practices

Speaker: Mike Acton (Engine Director, Insomniac Games)
Date/Time: TBD
Track: Programming
Experience Level: Advanced

Session Description
Insomniac is now on its third generation PlayStation 3 game and technology. Mike Acton, engine director, and Eric Christensen, principal engine programmer, will describe in detail the state of Insomniac's proprietary engine from RESISTANCE: FALL OF MAN and RATCHET AND CLANK FUTURE: TOOLS OF DESTRUCTION to our current project. This talk will describe the steps taken to understand the SPU, fit more code and data on the SPU, and the steady progression toward a state where the SPUs dominate our game update. Developing an engine from the ground up on any platform is a difficult task. This talk will cover what went wrong, what went right, and what steps are being taken to continue in a direction that we keep Insomniac on the competitive edge and prepare the studio for future platforms. This presentation will include concrete examples of some of key systems and how they've been improved over time. Step by step code examples will be used to answer common questions related to SPU programming methods, including Insomniac's techniques for breaking the 256k barrier. Details on Insomniac's use of "SPU Shaders" and the benefits of that system will also be covered.

Making in-Game Commerce Work for You: SINGSTAR, a Case Study

Speaker: Richard Bates - Lead Programmer, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe
Track: Production

Game consoles now have always-on network connections, and consumers are ever more comfortable with making purchases online. SINGSTAR on PlayStation 3 responds to this with an innovative in-game store, with a sophisticated, user friendly interface. This case study looks at how commerce can be of benefit to a game, and explores methods for building it in to a title. The session deals with many issues that will arise during production, from concerns such as parental control and testing, to technical considerations including server configuration and the page delivery model.

Home Tools and Support: Creating Content for PlayStation Home Sponsored by Sony

Speaker: James Cox (Senior Producer, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe),Warren Keyes (Lead Tools Programmer, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe)

Date/Time: Thursday (February 21, 2008) 12:00pm — 1:00pm

Session Description
This presentation will cover an overview of the current Home Tools features and the feature roadmaps for the future. Additionally we shall walk through the process of creating a space for Home and show a guide to creating 3D mini-games within the Home environments. Wrapping up we shall take a sneak peak at Home Interactive Item creation.

At the Cutting Edge – Audio Production for HEAVENLY SWORD

Speaker: Garry Taylor (Audio/Video Manager, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe)
Date/Time: TBD
Track: Audio
Secondary Track: Production
Experience Level: All

Session Description
"With production values rivalling a Hollywood blockbuster, 'HEAVENLY SWORD' is game development on a truly global scale." When audio assets for a project are coming from 3 continents, separated over 20 time zones, managing the production effectively is a constant challenge. Outsourcing to production companies such as WETA (Lord of the Rings/King Kong) and audio teams responsible for films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Departed, Garry Taylor takes you on a whistle-stop tour of the globe, looking at the lessons learnt, and examining the hurdles that were overcome to achieve the state of the art, 'Next-Gen' audio quality of Ninja Theory and Sony's 'HEAVENLY SWORD' title for PS3.

Idea Takeaway
This session will examine the HEAVENLY SWORD audio production process from start to finish, highlighting the highs and lows of the audio production and looking at some of the key issues that arise when managing large scale audio projects. It will also offer pointers on what to keep in-house and what to outsource in terms of audio production.

Intended Audience
This session is aimed primarily at audio professionals, game directors, producers and anyone involved in audio production for large or medium sized projects.

Creating a Character in DRAKE'S FORTUNE

Speaker: Christian Gyrling (AI and Animation Programmer, Naughty Dog Inc.)
Date/Time: TBD
Track: Programming
Secondary Track: Visual Arts
Experience Level: Advanced

Session Description
This talk will show how we developed the characters in DRAKE'S FORTUNE, praised for its animation. It will show how we reduced the complexity of organizing hundreds of animations by working with abstract animation states. The talk will also describe how we solved the AI/Animation integration as well as how we decoupled character orientation and movement from joint animation. Finally it will describe the extensive use of additive animations used to enrich the game experience.

Idea Takeaway
Attendees will learn to organize animations based on abstract animation states to reduce complexity, the importance of having the AI work closely with animation without tightly coupling them as well as the advantages to using additive animation to solve common problems where the animator has a lot of creative control.

Intended Audience
This lecture is targeting gameplay programmers and technical animators interested in techniques used to reduce the complexity in creating realistic looking characters.

Somente por essa lista podemos ver que teremos bastante a respeito do PS3 e principalmente, que o que foi aprendido de bom em programação para o console será passado pra frente para que outras empresas possam fazer trabalhos mais competentes com o console.

tipo... A M$ irá mostrar muita coisa, mas está escondendo até o dia do evento... Será que vem bomba?!?!

se a memória n me falha, eu acho que tinha sido anunciado ai há uns tempos atrás que a microsoft era a única que tinha reservado 2 horitas para fazer uma conferência sua dedicada apenas aos jogos e 360.

juntando vários rumroes de que a m$ ia apresentar 4 grandes jogos, sejam eles quais forem..

juntando ainda o rumor que a m$ deveria anunciar ''algo'' para o japão na proxima semana (coincidindo com a GDC)..

sim, acho que podemos esperar mais noticias vindos da M$ do que da sony, que simplesmente vai lá estar como sempre esteve quase como numa missão de rotina.

obviamente que tb espero qq coisita boa da sony :p

mas acho que tá na cara que vai haver + noticias (boas ou más) da microsoft.

PS: Penso que alguns fazem perguntas de duplo sentido, só esperando uma resposta provocativa. :-D

 

[Mark Strife]

Mas, pelo que eu percebi do texto, a GDC é mais um evento para divulgação de tecnologia referente aos games, e não aos games em sí, não é isso?

Bem, de qualquer forma, estarei acompanhando esse tópico! [kgay]/
