VGC: Wrap-up of GDC 2010

Brian Zucker - "Last week, myself, Nick Pantazis and Evan Eller flew over to San Francisco to cover the Game Developers Conference. These conventions are always fun because we get to hang out with all the people we talk to throughout the year. The week was filled with a lot of work and too much partying. Here is a wrap-up of all the news that broke at the show and all of our previews/interviews/hands-on articles. Currently, these articles have garnered over 195,000 hits and still growing. And we are not done! Throughout the next month, we will be posting more information about games we saw at the show but cannot quite talk about yet. Thanks to everyone who has read and enjoyed our coverage of GDC. Next stop is E3, where VGChartz will have around 20 staff on-site to bring you the best coverage on the web."

Literally and figuratively a good show!

I still can't believe I got to see Will Wright speak in person. I'm still recovering from the epic nerdgasm.

Haha, your life is now complete!

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds486d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69486d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3486d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese486d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits485d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Well it almost killed Metroid so…

PhillyDillyDee731d ago

Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.

Sometimes, I doubt that Reggie was that great for Nintendo after all.

2D Metroid Retrospective: Bring on the Remakes

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."

Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.

I just want them all in the Switch.
