GDC keynote speakers revealed

Departing words of wisdom – The chosen ones inside

Posted by Staff
The keynote speakers for next year’s Games Developers Conference have been revealed, due to take place in San Jose, California next March.

A fairly mainstream gloss has been sheened over the event, as well as a distinct lack of Japanese developers, for some reason.

Still, Microsoft nice bloke extraordinaire Ed Fries joins the dark man of gaming John Carmack, amongst others.

The complete list reads:

Programming Keynote
John Carmack
Founder/Owner/Lead Programmer, id Software

Production Keynote
David Perry
President, Shiny Entertainment

Game Design Keynote
Neil Young
VP and Executive in Charge of Production, Electronic Arts

Business & Legal Keynote

Vice President of Microsoft Games Content - World Famous Nice Bloke

Visual Arts Keynote
John Gaeta
Visual Effects Supervisor on the feature films:
The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions

Perhaps more will be added in the coming months. Expect full coverage from the event next year.
