Looks like the only thing worth noting is the OnLive system.
I think a lot of people misinterpreted what to expect from GDC. This isn’t the place for big announcements, showy booths, and over the top keynote addresses. This was a conference to discuss game development techniques and give the press a bit of insight into what the companies are working on and how they got to that point.
What people were expected was an E3 type of show, which is not what you’ll ever get out of GDC. The big announcements and all other big things will happen at E3 this year.
And I understand that GDC is not in anyway E3. That is why I think Onlive was the only thing that was big, other than some shows about a few games.
