As you may well know, next week brings us the Game Developers Conference in sunny (for now) San Francisco. It’s a place where game creators of all types can learn, share, and connect. Sometimes, it’s where a young kid gets his/her big break. They also have a LOLcats page. So, just like with CES, I’m putting our PlayStation.Blog coverage in the hands of you, the faithful blog reader.
If you could ask someone from Q-Games, Incognito, Clap Hanz or our Santa Monica Studios any question – what would it be? As much as possible, I’ll pass those questions on, and report back with answers. We’ll also be posting game development insights from Shuhei Yoshida, SCEA Senior Vice President of Product Development.
Over the weekend, we’ll also temporarily install a twitter feed on the right side of the blog for updates throughout GDC. If you’d like to sign up to follow along now, you can do that here. And of course, we’ll have a special section on our Flickr page to give you an idea of what the whole thing looks like.
So what else do we have planned? Well, as part of the blogging community (and what a strange group it is), we’re going to give back this year. So for all the bloggers out there covering GDC in some official capacity (read: you’ve got official credentials), allow me to extend an invite to our PlayStation Bloggers’ Lounge. We’ll have all you need to get your work done (WiFi, food, caffeine), as well as game demos, and even access to some of the developers mentioned above. More details here.
Stay tuned for more updates. Until then, get those questions in!
Someone go sneak a peak at what Insomniac is doing and see if they show anything about Resistance 2 ;)

Is Santa Monica Studio working on any Ps3/PSN games we don’t know about? If yes, do tell in details as much as you can.
To all: NEW game announcements and as far as Q-Games. What’s the third game and send the trailer on over ;)
****************************Questions?***********************
I have questions!!
*******************
*******************
*******************
1) Are the new PS3 models going to have backwards compatibility? IT IS A BIG DEAL! Whoever thought losing backwards compatibility was ok should be FIRED! 2 of my friends recently bought 360’s because the 40 gig model that was in their price range has no backwards compatibility…what a loss!! That was the deciding factor in their purchase!
2) Custom Soundtracks for every game, all the time, like the XBOX 360 does…is this EVER going to be realized?
3) 1080i support for all games default form now on…THIS ISSUE IS REARING IT’S UGLY HEAD ALL OVER BLOG-DOM!!! It’s making the PS3 look bad! (I’ve got a 1080p set so it’s ok for me…but alot of people don’t!)
4) DUAL SHOCK!!!!! WHEN?!?!?!?!?
5) Any news on MORE MUSIC VISUALIZATIONS would be appreciated!!
thanks Jeff!
peace
Socom Confrontation release date and new gamplay footage PLEASE!!!!
IS the Info Bar on the PS3 going to be updated alongside the blog?
My question is:
Why doesn’t the RSS feed on the playstaion blog work with the psp? Are there plans to remedy this? Everytime I add the feed to my psp and access it, it says there’s nothing to show…
The PSP RSS is for video/mp3 feeds, it\’s not a text reader.
