"The Successes and Failures of Creating a Near-Future Cyberpunk Setting with a Renaissance Twist in Deus Ex 3",

Sounds awesome. But is that the longest title for a gaming speech or what!

I'm more hype about seeing a Gears 3 Trailer at GDC than anything else....I mean Gears 2 was announced at GDC....shouldnt Gears 3 be as well?

I still don't see why any games are announced at GDC, it's for game developers to discuss new technologies, new techniques, the state of the game industry and how that should affect the development of new games. Now, it's just like another E3.

I just can't wait for Sakamoto's speech myself. Should finally see some Other M stuff (unless they reveal Other M stuff on the 24th now)

Awesome that the Silent Hill guy got picked up by the Punx Not Dead Video Game Band.
