The Complete, Uncut Interview With John Schappert

We know, right now half of you are scratching your heads wondering "who the hell is John Schappert?" He's the new Peter Moore, minus the tats, facial hair and accent. Our own Michael McWhertor and Brian Crecente got to sit and talk to him about what's to come from Xbox 360, LIVE and all sorts of stuff like that.

This isn't some 2-minute clip, so make sure to dim the lights and pour yourself a glass of wine before partaking. The satin robe is optional.

Liveblogging Microsoft's GDC Presser

We're sitting here in Mascone's South Hall. The show should be starting in about 20 minutes or so.

I'm told by multiple sources that Microsoft has at least one big announcement planned for their talk today. If you recall yesterday we posted our best guesses for today's talk saying that the show would have Microsoft announcing (again) Live Anywhere, an XNA Arcade (perhaps in blade form) and Gears of War 2. They're still best guesses, but we've heard rumblings that at least two of them are sort of right.

I'm still going back and forth on Gears of War 2, not because I doubt its existence or that it's ready to be shown, but because I don't know if the Game Developers Conference is the best place to announce a triple A title. Fortunately, we're going to be finding out in the next hour.

Hit the jump to follow the live blogging and make your own predictions.

Our Worst Guesses for Microsoft's GDC Keynote

You may have read our best guesses about what we expect to see and hear at today's Game Developers Conference keynote from Microsoft VP John Schappert. If not, it's a good read. But it's also a pretty safe one. So why not throw out some wild and potentially wildly embarrassing predictions about what might show up on a PowerPoint slide today? Given that GDC is less about busting out new hardware and more about getting giddy on news of SDKs and optimization libraries, this is a list of long shots. More »

Our Best Guesses for Microsoft's GDC Keynote

Tomorrow John Schappert, Microsoft Veep of Live, Software and Services, will be taking the stage to deliver the first keynote for the Game Developers Conference proper.

While in the past, GDC hasn't been a place for announcements, that changed in 2006 when Sony rolled out such doozies as Home and LittleBigPlanet to an audience of mostly game developers. This year expectations are high that Microsoft will be making some sort of announcements of their own.

On paper the keynote is about how Microsoft plans to tap into a "wellspring of talent and innovation from the broader development community" but we'd be surprised if they didn't use their time on stage to also drop a little bomb or two. Hit the jump for our best guesses.
