Hate to bore you with an industry biz article, but there were a few notable things to take away from GameDaily's talk with Jamil Molenia, CMP Director of the Game Developer Conference that we'll be attending en masse next weekend between trips to the bar. Here are the two major points for those with crumbling attention spans:
(1) GDC became more visible (after Lowenstein ran E3 into the ground right before quitting the ESA), and D.I.C.E. is 10x smaller than GDC
(2) He got Shigeru "I made this industry" Miyamoto to deliver a keynote. Phil Harrison, from Sony, will also be there along with other notables. This one thing in particular, though, deserves a ride on the Destructoid Hype Train:
GD: You told me at D.I.C.E. that on March 7, I'd be "very happy" that I'm a PlayStation 3 owner. What revelations will Phil Harrison have for us during his keynote that will make us go gaga for PS3? Care to give us some hints?
JM: Haha! Not to be coy but you'll just have to come to his talk, James. All I can say is that I stand behind my comment regarding your future emotional state.
Very interesting. After last year's underwhelming ridge racing, feudal giant crab battles, and rather uncertain state of true 1080p HD gaming at sustainable frame rates, we cannot wait to see what comes out of this man's mouth. We'll be attenting with tissues and lotion in hand, don't let us down ... and don't pull a Kaz. Look for Destructoid's live blogging of the GDC event, unless we forget to set the alarm.
Does anyone want to speculate as to what they're referring to, besides not Killzone?

ChronoTrigger, ActRaiser, and FFVI!
Exclusive port of Sewer Shark is coming!
Rumble IS in the SIXAXIS, we were just fuckin' with ya!
If you want to comment on something and say someone needs to be funnier, by all means give us some examples of your own. I love original comedy.
I seriously lol'd. Phil Harrison is on the same bullshit level as Tony Snow, and says more BS than even the Regginator. To be fair though, all PR guys are just that: PR guys. As an intelligent human being, you should'nt trust shit being said by someone who gets paid a LOT OF MONEY to say VERY GOOD THINGS about his company's product. This goes for all console companies.
Wow, as a GamePro article, that wasn't bad. They actually admitted to things like the Killzone videos being pre-rendered and Sony being arrogant. I am flabbergasted..
Because it's too cold out tide!
@dvddesign
they already had a chronotrigger game out on ps1, it was awesome, and it had dbzstyled anime cutscenes they dont need to setle to get it
ps1 downloadable games finally playable on ps3?

God I hate PS3's marketing dept.
