Game Developer’s Conference 2010 Gears up For San Francisco This Week

The Annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco is gearing up for the Moscone Convention Centre for March 9-13 and Negative Gamer will be nowhere in sight (apart from Dan Rosenthal). However, we will be watching from afar and filtering the news coming from larger, more established sites who have sexy and trendy staff in attendance. Not that we don’t have sexy and trendy staff here at Negative Gamer. Those of you who have seen Sam Jordan sporting an ascot with a t-shirt and muddy jeans know exactly what I’m talking about.

Though the conference is specifically for game developers there are usually a few announcements and interesting tidbits that come out of GDC. Highlights of this year’s conference will likely include John Carmac’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a presentation by acclaimed game writer Susan O’Connor who has worked on Bioshock and Gears of War among others, and of course Sid Meier’s much anticipated presentation ‘œThe Psychology of Game Design (Everything You Know is Wrong)’.

Check back on the site throughout the week for stories and discussion of the week’s developments. Also, don’t forget about the forums. The first livestream looks to be G4tv‘s coverage of Sony’s GDC Press Conference at 7pm Est on March 10th.
