I saw this same panel at MIGS last year, a week before the game was released and it was amazing. I managed to take a look at their documentation and it was insane, long and thorough. Pretty much how every big game documentation should be!
Is that Jason Della Rocca on the picture there?! Man, he's everywhere! At least he has an amazing sense on how the industry is today.
This must have been an awesome panel! The gaming industry never changed so fast in the last couple of years and panels like these really reflect these shifts.
Yes, but do remember that decent and innovative physics turned uninteresting sport games into amazing ones. I believe the biggest reason why PES (or Winning Eleven outside North-America) was way more popular than FIFA back in 06 and 07 is because the physics and specially the gameplay were far better developed. When EA released FIFA 08 with a playability that wouldn't give you a headache, it was a major turning point for the franchise.
