GDC 2007: What questions do you want answered? photo

Starting Sunday, Destructoid will land in San Francisco to prepare to change the face of gaming as we invade the 2007 Game Developer's Conference. Then, on Monday, the whole thing begins and we make our huge robot footprint be known to everyone.

What can you expect? Well, we'll be having personal sit downs with Microsoft, Sony, and anyone and everyone who makes the games that you play. Then, to the best of our ability, we will bring you all the important stuff you can expect Dtoid to report -- we'll cut through the mushy center.

But, this is where things get different. Since we're going to be there surrounded by industry insiders and since we love our community so much, we want to know what YOU, you the reader and you the gamer want to know. We want your voice to be heard. I want to be able to walk up to Phil Harrison and say, "My readers want to know this!" And, I want to come back with your answer.

And with that, we welcome you, Mr. and Mrs. Gamer, to tell us what burning video game industry questions you want answered. Is there anything you've always wanted to know? Is there a specific gripe you have with how the industry is going? We want to know and we want the industry to know. Give us all you got.

Is the single player experience on the Wii going to improve with the Wii?

And, adventure games. Are we gonna see more like Hotel Dusk in the future now that the Wii and DS have an acceptable interface for them?

Get me a Shiggy autograph and fill us in as soon as you can about his keynote.

I LOVED Parasite Eve 2! I have been meaning to play that again...I think I've beaten it twice, it was great. Imagine Parasite Eve 3 but with RE4 controls and look...mmmmmm!

"having personal sit downs with Microsoft, Sony"
(but you don't mention Nintendo? Are they not going to be there?
If they are there ask them why they wont take consumers feedback on friend codes and how worthless they are.

Sony: I have a playstation 3 how long after Resistance am I going to actually play with my station again

Microsoft:Why the FUCK do you charge $100 for a wifi network adaptor? My linksys router cost me $35 (w/rebate) and it has multiple uses

Sony: Stop talking and start releasing your triple A titles.

As far as I know, Nintendo is not going to have much of a presence. Miyamoto has a keynote, but other than that, I've heard nothing.

Yeah, seriously tell any and all Nintendo representatives that regular gamers hate the friend code system. Tell them over and over and over again until they get it.

Tell them to fix the fscking weather channel.

When is the newest 360 coming out so I can stop waiting and buy one already?

@ Microsoft: What changes or improvements can we expect to be made to Xbox Live within 2007? What do the subscription fees go towards? (other than profit)

And can the xbox 360 dashboard be made any faster? I hate the 2-4 second lag everytime you navigate the menus. It's a pain in the ass when you're currently playing a game and you need to message somebody.

Niero, Summa, I will overnight FedEx my Super Mario Famicom cart to you if you guys can get me an autograph.

In exchange, I will be the d'toid whipping boy for a month.

@Sony: Have you completely lost touch with the gaming community? In all seriousness, if you look at the product announcements of your competitors in the last 12 months, they've received accolades out the wazoo for nearly everything they've debuted. Excusing the price and lackluster sales of the PS3 as "negative news", everything Sony has espoused in the last 14 months has either been innacurate, outright lies, or empty promises.

Does Sony plan on trying to reconnect with their founding market who thought the PSX and PS2 were so darn nifty back in the day? Because at this point, you've done your very best to try an alienate JUST about any positive press you could muster.

Getting Miyamoto-san's autograph on my Famicom copies of Donkey Kong or SMB, would be like gettin' Jesus to sign a bible.

Can someone take a poll on which developers like which consoles they prefer to develop for.

Can someone ask a developer to describe, in detail, how Sonys online system actually works.

@ Nintendo: When will we see original VC games? Any chance of axing friend codes?

@ MS: When is the zephyr coming?

@ Sony: I want a SIXAXIS with rumble!

@ All: What aspects of your competitors consoles do you feel they have capitalized on that you missed and how do you plan to catch up in these areas?

Ask various developers why we haven't seen their games on the Virtual Console yet. I'm dying to know if it's their fault or if Nintendo is just purposely holding things up on their end so that we have a consistent release schedule.

for koei:

can we ever expect another 'new' north american release of a nobunaga's ambition game? Perhaps a virtual console release of a NES or SNES version of Nobunaga's Ambition: lord of darkness.

it'd be freakin sweet. I don't truly remember a major nobunaga release since the gameboy color version came out and it sucked hard dick.

what playstation 3 game are you most excited about that I'll actually want to buy. (its a nice simple question that hell probably ramble on for 10 hours on about how sony is making the next generation even better, etc etc...)

WHEN DOES THE PS3 GET RUMBLE?!
and how much more will it make my controllers cost? how much will the controller battery life be reduced?

what are some playstation store titles I'll be getting soon?
will mk2 have online play?

I seriously hope the sony people you talk to dont ramble on about something... if they do punch them please, I'm tired of long sony bullshit rants.

I know I've got alot of sony questions but I know you guys are getting some one on one with sony...
