Final Fantasy XIII, Gears of War 2, Motorstorm 2, Alan Wake at GDC 2008?

Ripten:

"What games will be at GDC 2008? The infamous Surfer Girl says three of the above titles will be there, along with four more "definites". We can confirm seven others."

[sonarus]

motorstorm 2 better not try coming out without split screen. i cnt wait for msoft keynote. hopefully they wnt jst show gears 2, too human and alan wake. already seen too human not interested. alan wake looks good if they show it lets hope it wows and then gears will definetly make it into their keynote. hopefully 2 more aaa quality titles will be shown as well.

[Panthers]

I think we will see more at GDC especially since E3 is not what it used to be. I am REALLY hoping for Socom information. I am going to go nuts if they do not show anything.

[SoulReaper]

Didn't Microsoft confirmed that Alan Wake is not going to be at this GDC?? I am really hyped for Final Fantasy XIII, Motor Storm,Infamous, Socom Confrontation, Killzone 2 and Wipe Out for the PS3.

As for the 360 Gears of War 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2.

Why isn't Sony going to show Heavy Rain, White Knight Story, Eight Days ,Gateaway and War Devil??

Are they saving it up for E3??

[Close_Second]

...is a complete overhaul. It needs replays, time-trials (i.e. practice) and qualifying modes. A better league system and customisation options.

Oh, being able to skip crash sequences would be great also.

[mesh1]

Games i would like to see at gdc too human,gears2,fable2,splinter cell,
Alan wake,gt4,fallout 3,forz3 and many more.they will make great addition to my 360 games.

[skynidas]

Cant wait to see what happens on GDC!!!

[zonetrooper5]

Only 15 more days until GDC as of typing.

[meepmoopmeep]

time just flies by when you're having fun.

can't wait to see more FFXIII but i hope they reveal some other great stuff, of which, i'm sure.

[heyheyhey]

with all the big games announced and under speculation GDC is going to be an awesome event this year

hopefully SG is right about motorstorm 2- i was a big fan of the first one and i really hope we get to see whats up with the second one

i also heard that there is a heavenly sword sequel in the works and i hope there will be a sequel to Lair that improves upon what the first one failed to do

also i really hope we hear what the deal is with ZOE 3

[Lew_Ijgee]

MGO playable demo.

[Greek99]

Warhawk 3?

[heyheyhey]

1hr long M$ speech? what can they possibly have that can keep us interested for 1 hour?

BioShock 2- i hope so

[TheMART]

Gears of War 2
Bioshock 2
Too Human
GTA IV with its two exclusive episodes on the 360
Price drop on the 360
Ninja Gaiden 2
Forza 3 head to head on GT5
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Fable 2
Alan Wake

and a lot, a lot more

[rofldings]

That's it? I guess Sony & Co. will be up there for almost 16 hours then.

[Jason 360_Niglet]

I hope they show forza 3 at GDC.... Forza 2 was great but it was still missing that most important thing - c*ckpit view. Lets hope they announce the 3rd installment at GDC

[candystop]

They can say alot more then what Sonys been saying over and over again for the past 3 years lol! I think this show and E3 will be more focused on what MS has to say rather then Sony because MS has some how managed to build more excitement then the PS3 by not showing it's full hand everytime out of desperation! SOny's already shown everything so now it's time for MS to shine slowly send out news and bring excitement back to gaming! No offense Sony but your games library did look good or ok but is starting to look boring and loose it's excitement to me personally! Heck I was thinking this was Sony's year but now I'm starting to really believe that after GDc and E3 MS will be on top again and Sony will be back in the we totally suck position!

[LastDance]

HAHA oh mart i cant see it now. The peak of the speach

"yes and also...Us at microsoft got 2 extra .AHEM .."episodes" on OUR version of GTA4...Yes thats right. because we know what our fans Love....MORE missions to play on GTA coz we here at microsoft know every1 plays the game for its missions....And i THINK we fixed the rrod..maybe.
(tumbleweed)
We umm Havent got much else going on.. we are making a sequal to one of our games so we can make more money..it think its called something or rather..you know.. a name watever.($) ($)... im not sure if they put a storyline in it this time around...Umm...our development teams dont want to hold you down with too much storyline.... WE RULE..

Thank you."

[Rockstar]

The next highly anticipated Scene it!

They'll just play that for an Hour.

I kid, I kid.

Or do I?

Hey, It could be there, although I'm sure it won't take an hour to show that off.

[the mart im gay]

Im sorry i didnt mean to say that. Im a loser with noi lofe. Have pity on a retarded bot....

[vloeistof]

final fantasy xiii gamplay

[xaphanze]

what about KZ2?

[Devr]

It will be there for sure.

[sonarus]

well mgs4 will probably jst be a playable demo maybe a new 1. time 4 killzone 2 to show their improvements and maybe a boss battle of some sort

[techie]

if you read it, it says KZ2

[belal]

more mgs4 wonder what that can be !

[MK_Red]

All of those titles are awesome but more than anything, I hope some Fallout 3 gameplay is shown during the GDC.

[novaIS350]

Fallout3 will be shown at GDC. I know for a fact.

[MK_Red]

Well, I've been waiting for 10 years now for sequel to Fallout 2 so I deserve to be impatient ;)

But I hope it's true. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully indeed GDC is the place for Fallout 3 footage.

[zonetrooper5]

Well I reckon they will only show off a handful of the games that the Mart has listed and many the odd one or two which has not been annouced.

The other parts will be the technology used in Halo 3 matchmaking, big 3 annoucments for Fable 2 and some other stuff.

[candystop]

I would also love to see some fallout gameplay but the game I really hope is there would have to be Project Offset and some Fable 2!

[Jason 360_Niglet]

To be a gamer. GDC is gonna be huge... Gears 2, Killzone 2, Fallout 3, Motorstorm 2!!!! oh yerrr!

[Spike47]

the following games will be shown at GDC:

Gears of war 2
Motorstorm 2
ff13
infamous

and........ idk.

[Chitown71291]

Dude this isn't E3 what fuking since would it make for them to announce all this shid at GDC, if anything I would expect them to announce dis shid at E3. I mean come on this the GAME DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE, they are showing shid that is going to attract DEVELOPERS to their console, and why it is better to DEVELOPE for their console instead of the other console. IDIOT! But at this years GDC I don't expect nothing big from Nintendo, Microsoft will announce Gears 2 and show off the engine its using. I'm also predicting that Gears 2 will be running on a Unreal Engine 4. I also think Microsoft will show Alan Wake and show what can be achieved on the 360(when pushed to the limit which I think will). Anyways since I am a Sony Fanboy, I think Sony is going to crack some balls at GDC. I predict Sony will show a majorly overhauled HOME, and show some new features,like how the PSP will play a role in HOME. They already said they will show how to make stuff for it, so that will be interesting too. Sony will also show the graphical capabilities of the system with MotorStorm 2 and Killzone 2. The next one I say I think has about a 50/50 chance of happening but also showing a real-time demos of both Eight Days and The Getaway PS3. Oh and the infamous Little Big Planet! Take that Nintendo!

PL3Y B3YOND!

[OpiZA]

Damn... you're an angry little man.

[OpiZA]

Looks 2 be a cracker!

[Greysturm]

Was all about lbp and home lets see if this year we have another batch of good surprises. Lets see if the trend changes stays and microsoft beats sonys keynote like in TGS or if that was the only one sony lost.

There is a lot of expectation to microsofts offerings since they seem to be the underdog on software this year lets hope we all get great games to play this year.

[Meus Renaissance]

I'm more excited about Motorstorm 2 than anything else in that list to be honest. I'm curious as to the graphical improvements they've made, I hope it gets closer to the 2005 target.

And if KillZone 2 doesn't get shown, it's bad news, I don't care what anyone thinks. That game must be presented.

Microsoft will announce Killer Instinct IMHO.

[Panthers]

Oooh Killer Instinct. I loved that for the SNES. Oh well, if enough good games are announced for the 360 then I MIGHT pick it up. I really want Halo Wars.

[JVIDICAN]

halo wars is actually releasing for 360 and pc at the same time =P

[Iamback]

Complete speculations

[koston3647]

I LOVE EIGHT DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol its gonna be awesome i can already tell i dont know any of the story to the getaway but its goona be great anyway

[Iamback]

GDC is not E3 so i will be surprised if they show this many games.

[wind_dragon]

i don't think many people here actually KNOW what GDC is about.

[Doctor Strange]

Didn't someone already say Alan Wake won't be at GDC already? Either way I can't wait for GDC I would love see more FFXIII and KZ2 stuff.

[Chitown71291]

Yeah I know man I just decided to bring thoose games up since the media hardly brings them up anymore.

[Scions Wrath]

If this is what will be shown at GDC then E3 is going to be INSANE!

[Wraith001]

gunna be a gooden this yr

[techie]

Oh and a lot of these are behind closed doors...so you may not see any of them. You'll just hear reports about them.

[ApocalypseShadow]

in the open zone to drop the bomb on everyone's "noggin."

GDC is not E3.yes,some games will be shown,but only for tech purposes.

as for the tech of games and applications i want to see,i agree with others above.i want to see if evolution can splash more mud,speed,textures onto the ps3.see if 8 days and the getaway look any more detailed.with big worlds only possible on bluray without changing discs.

but what really catches me is what tech sony hasn't shown us.

will there be pseye support for the XMB shown as an optional control?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

will sony show more tech on drawing applications and putting it in-game with pseye?
http://www.gametrailers.com...

more cool things that put your face in the game?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

will they show a new PSN store and have movies and music for download?

will they show how ps3 will be able to toss tons of objects onscreen without losing detail or resolution with new ground up game engines?

will they show more of HOME and new unseen features that sony and third parties want to put in HOME.like:

MUSIC ZONE,SPACE ZONE,UNDERWATER ZONE,etc.that let gamers shop and get together like afrika and little big planet.

as for microsoft and the long meeting.i'm guessing they are going to drop a controller on 360 gamers who bagged motion control for the other 2 game systems.watch as the ones who bagged motion control jump up and down with glee for this new controller and say,"look,we got it too."nah yah."

nintendo will probably show more wiifit games and what you can do with that wii board and the wiimote "together."

GDC should be interesting.but it's not E3.

bombs have been dropped..........M shadow..............

[KILLERAPP]

The real winners the gamers all of those who have both consoles.

[TwissT]

I guess my mom was right I AM A WINNER =D.

[robbo918]

Ok, now THAT comment made me laugh :)

[vilmer]

Yep, it's fun having any system at your disposal :)

[Swatfish]

I hope to see something about Resistance 2and Final Fantasy XIII

[TheHater]

We will see something on both of them.

I really want to see a new trailer or get some new info on Infamous. That is the number 4 game I want this year.

[heyheyhey]

yeah man infamous is looking immense

i love all the sucker punch games (sly cooper FTW)

[TheHater]

yeah dude, sucker punch is basically one of my favorite developers, and I am really happy the went with a new IP before making a next gen Sly game.

[rootEXT]

MGS4
FF13
Gears of War 2
Motorstorm 2
Resistance 2
Alan Wake
LBP

Wow!!! great news. I'm going to buy them all. I thought 2007 was awesome 2008 is going to be insane

Jump in Play Beyond

[SoulReaper]

I bet you there going to be a God of War 3 teaser trailer for the PS3..

[TwissT]

Ok Killzone 2, Resistance 2, FF13, Infamous, Alan Wake, Fable 2 and Too human better show at GDC or imma be SUPER P!SSED.

[TheHater]

Man I would love some new info n Fable 2. It my favorite Western RPG. :)

[Sevir04]

but if they want awareness to be built i soppose that they may show the game at GDC. i still think that Gears 2 will be an early 2009 release. simplyy because they still have to havent even put out UT3 on the 360 and the way that looks that UT3 is bound for a summer release or even a fall release. either way. it i hope this time they are able to do more and push the boundaries with it, and make gears 2 look better than the first, play longer than the first, and also have better online like up it to about 24 players or something because these days... 8 player online is simply laughable when you consider, 32 40 and 60 player online on consoles are being proven and done

[chaosatom333]

what are they gonna show for E3! lol, but seriously if they show FF13, then that would be awesome. I would like to see the gameplay. i don't know if gdc was big last year, but this year it's hopefully gonna be big.

[chaosatom333]

wait, i forgot, did they mention GTAIV? It would be about time that they show some gameplay to public, but I have no worries. It would be icing on cake if they did.

[SIX]

Most looking forward to KZ2. We all know how it looks already. I hope it plays well.

[name]

INFAMOUS! Finally. I'm most excited to see something about Infamous than anything. Then motorstorm 2.

[SIX]

If you don't get a PS3 this year you are a fool. That's all there is to it.

[zonetrooper5]

A heads up, at GDC there will be 3 big annoucments for Fable 2 so don't worry Fable fans. Second, MS and Sony and Nintendo will be showing off a handful of games, not many though and XNA will be showed off at long last by MS, by that I mean they might be releasing an arcade game created by someone who used XNA which should be awesome.

[midgard229]

theres no denying this year has amazing games, for 360 and ps3 atleast

[thereapersson]

All we have on the title as far as I know are those outdoor screenshots that don't even show any gameplay. Hopefully there is some content shown at GDC so all the 360 faithful can have some concrete information about this.

[greenenvy]

lets be honest, this is a no-brainer and this article sums up everything totally....

http://blog.wired.com/games...

360 is going to have another stellar year period. In europe 360 will be sold out too....

Halo Wars will be huge in europe but I can think of another game too......I am going to buy quite a few games but you want to know what I love the most, hell yes halo wars.

Its going to be TIGHT and we all love halo, and I think halo chronicles might come out.....but seriously, after call of duty 4 gears of war 2 and halo wars are gonna steal the spotlight........

Im not shocked to find alot of people who never heard of MGS4....all they can think about is GTA4 and that sort of thing......its going to be one intense year period, no matter what system you own......and I GUARANTEE there will be surprises.....triple guarantee it.

LOTS of great games for 360 this year, thats impossible to deny now....but a few for the ps3 if you're into ps games.....and that's it JACK, I still think halo war/too human is going to win out....call it a gut feeling on my ticker ticker......oh yes. LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!!!!!

FF13, Infinite Undiscovery release in 2009 not even close, middle of 2009 earliest but Alan Wake comes 2008. I predicted it.

[marcellizot]

It's nice to see Microsoft taking the opportunity of a Keynote speech. The Xbox camp has been a bit quiet of late while SOny and Nintendo have had all manner of cool bits and pieces coming out (WiiFit, Dual Shock 3, Mario Galaxy, Uncharted etc).

Besides the games mentioned in the article I am hoping to hear something about the GTA IV exclusive content, Banjo Kazooie and maybe something about a price cut.

Still I am sure SOny and Nintendo will have plenty at their booths to impress too.

[Figboy]

that's the title i really want to learn more about. more than MGS4, more than Resistance 2, more than Killzone 2, more than Little Big Planet, more than Home, and everything else hitting the Playstation 3 this year.

why?

because i *KNOW MGS4, Resistance, Killzone 2, LBP, and Home are going to be *GREAT.

i've been waiting for a genuine super-hero game for a *LONG time. and i mean a superhero game in which i'm not being forced to live by moral standards (which is one of the many things that keeps the Spider-Man games from truly rocking), and i can conduct my heroic, or anti-heroic deeds as i see fit.

i want to be able to fly (or at least clear a building in a single bound), i want to shoot lighting from my hands, lift up a bus and chuck it through a building, fire laser-beams from my eyes, run at super speeds, and phase through solid objects. i'm not saying all of these powers will be in infamous (ie, the phasing through solid objects), but i just *REALLY want a single-player super-hero game in which i actually *FEEL like a super-hero.

i enjoyed Crackdown, but i didn't feel like a "super-hero." i felt more like a "super-soldier." big difference, honestly.

what i'd like to see from Infamous at GDC is a new trailer, and some gameplay footage from a demo that will be on the PSN a few months prior to the title's release. some interviews about gameplay mechanics would be nice too (as i'm guessing that they'll be able to talk more freely about the title's features now that it's getting nearer to the game's launch sometime this year).

don't get me wrong about the other games i mentioned above. i *WILL be devouring every ounce of info i get concerning those titles, but Infamous is the one, to me, that is the most shrouded in mystery, and is worthy of more coverage than it's been getting. Sucker Punch is a great developer, but it's easy to see Infamous getting overshadowed by the games i mentioned before. Sly got overshadowed by games in the same genre (Ratchet and Jak), and i expect Infamous to have that "sleeper-hit" magic also. people will hopefully be more receptive to a super-hero sandbox game than they were to a thieving raccoon (not that the Sly Cooper series did poorly, it's actually a multi-million selling series between all three titles released so far).

this GDC will be great. period.

i'm looking forward to what MS has to say also, as i own an X Box 360, and i'd like to know if Fable 2, Too Human, and Alan Wake aren't the only three 360 titles i have to look forward to this year (and yes, i'm aware that Ninja Gaiden 2, Halo Wars, Gears of War 2 are coming to the 360 this year, but if i was interested in those games, i would have listed them above). i mean, all i have is Mass Effect and Bioshock on my 360 right now, so i'm really looking forward to more 360 titles this year.

my PS3 plate is already quite full, between multi-plats like DMC4 and Burnout Paradise (to name only 2), GTAIV, and the large number of AAA PS3 exclusives coming.

[bigjclassic]

because they usually dont do GDC or TGS events.

But hopefully Sony will give us some KZ2 online info (split-screen online??), MGS4 release date, gameplay of FF XIII (hopefully)

[IrishAssa]

Im really hoping for more info on Rainbow 6V2, gears2 , and hopefully some info on Resident Evil 5....

[Lord_Ash]

I wonder if Sony will show anything spacial since they don't have a Keynote this year.
