2015 Game Developers Conference Opens Today

The 2015 Game Developers Conference (GDC 2015), the world’s largest and lold’s largest and longest-running event serving professionals dedicated to the art and science of making games, begins today at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California.

Excited! All I have to say

[BitbyDeath]

Finally, now Sony can announce the PS+ changes.

[Brotard]

Like what?

[BitbyDeath]

Dunno, could be anything... or nothing.
Just strange they have been holding the PS+ announcement back for around this event.

Could be the inclusion of retail games, might be Vue related or even Spotify related.

[StrayaKNT]

Is it going to be streamed somewhere?

[Timesplitter14]

I've read that it won't be streamed, since the conferences will be available for a certain price after the event.

Aside from any independent game journo coverage, Gamespot will be streaming the awards and a few of the scheduled sessions:

Nvidia also have a live press conference on, but people aren't too sure why:

There will probably be promo footage released over the week too to take advantage of the outside attention the event gets. Really, though, as GDC is targeted at developers and not the public ( http://schedule.gdconf.com/... ), much of the video footage will be recordings of the sessions/lectures/roundtables that took place so that they can be archived on the 'GDC Vault' site for paying members to access later on. Most of the lecture slides will be made freely available though, either from the devs themselves or, again, from the Vault.

Nvidia is promising big things, Valve is unleashing VR, SteamOS, OpenSourceGL, and Steambox. My Gawd Im excited!!

[Timesplitter14]

I may be a bit optimistic but I'm hoping for a HL3 reveal running on Source 2 in VR

MY EXPECTATIONS ARE REALISTIC

[SteamPowered]

I played HL2 on the Rift this weekend and it was incredible. Valve isnt fooling around with VR. The 3d effect was amazing! Even talking to NPCs was a treat. No longer are they somebody on the screen you literally look them in the eye when you talk to them. Its quite surreal.
If Valve does HL3 in VR you know its going to break the Steam Store.

Off Topic: Steam does a VR mode that is quite incredible to behold and its still in Beta. They are taking VR very serious.

Cool . That means developers will be partying with Jeff Gertsmann and the Giant Bomb staff at the Giant Bomb studio this week . Oh yeah.

[Timesplitter14]

this GDC will be a testament to the PC's infinite splendor and glory
