Not really.  It's popular to throw that around, but are we confused or what?  Little Big Planet was announced at GDC.  Gears of War 2.  Ninja Gaiden 2  first real stuff.  And there was quite some more.

I think lots of people are fooling themselves, in the past, yes, GDC was small, but it has grown to be as much of a place to announce games as E3 has been.   I'll go out and say that I can guarantee you at least one big, perhaps even huge, announcement to come out of GDC09.
I guess we should wait until the end of the week to really see, but I do have a large feeling.

Edit:  Didn't we already hear about Max Payne 3 and another Ubisoft RTS?  Do you not really think that MS,Ninty, nor Sony will announce anything? And then we've got some new info for stuff like Red Faction3  and the recently announced NG: Sigma 2

I haven't seen anyone say that about GDC, and I expect a few announcements, especially from the WIi camp. I'm also hoping for another Platinum Games project since Bayonetta is probably wrapping up and Madworld is done.

I've personally learned to not expect anything from Nintendo, maybe their 3rd parties themselves, but not Nintendo.
They've pretty much learned that they don't have to make something good for it to sell.

Whats that supposed to mean? They just gave us Brawl, Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess, and Sin and Punishment is on the way! This is exactly why i'm expecting something at GDC, since their future lineup is looking a little weak. They haven't made a bad game for the Wii yet! (I know you are refering to Wii Music, but remember, without a goal or a score its simply a musical tool, same as Electroplankton or Jam Sessions or Korg DS 10.

Well that is the inevitable 1st party lineup, Sin and Punishment isn't 1st party though. 
Maybe i've just been pessimistic, but, well, just look at E308.  If you really think a new game from ninty from those series will be announced, maybe you're a bit too hopeful.  If you think Ninty will announce a new ip that isn't a casual pos, you've just straight up naive.

They're just there to give some presentations, they're not going to announce anything.  At most there will be a new ODST trailer. 
I think they're doing something on graphics or something like that and then ai as well as another on learning to do it all while making the game (which is more about the dev process).

Is he definately going to reveal it at GDC? If so, than sweet! I'd even be happy if it was a previously revealed game like Fatal Frame 4.

Actually, Sin and Punishment is First Party. While the game was created by Treasure, it's published by Nintendo.  And while I dont expect Mario Zelda or Metroid, I do expect maybe an F-Zero or Starfox or Kirby or Donkey Kong or Icarus, or something new like they did with Excitebots. Call me naive, but i suppose we'll see when GDC is done.

Forza sucks because its a racing sim? Thats like saying Halo sucks because its an FPS, or Chrono Trigger sucks because its a JRPG, or Super Metroid sucks because its a platformer. Really, you could at least put some effort into your idiocy.

Well... OXM have teased to watch carefully "today" and Geoff Keighley twittered: "Interesting to see Variety expecting no Gears of War-2 level announcements at GDC. They are wrong. Stay tuned."

So there you go. There's also been a rumour that Sony are going to drop Firmware 2.7 "today" aswell.

EDIT: In fact there have been some "reports" that 2.7 actually appeared for a few minutes this morning but was promptly taken down. Waiting to hear confirmation on that, mind.

Well obviously OXM was incorrect, probably more so hinting at the discussions, but Geoff Keighly is one likely to get info a little bit before everyone else as of his position in the industry.    Whether he knows it already or that there is something big, I dunno, but he probably  does hold some knowledge.

I',m saying today's tomorrow will have something special.  That and whenever MS's actual keynote happens.

Looks like OXM is right, because some Gears of War 2 stuff leaked earlier today. 


I sure hope Microsoft shows off something Alan Wake. How long has it been now?

Smug is never "on-time," if that is what you mean. Too bad...he doesn't even realize he isn't supposed to be here right now.

Hrm, nothing big at GDC? Not only did Nintendo ACTUALLY fix the storage problem, they also announced a new Zelda. About what I expected, though not quite what I hoped for.

You think announcing a new Zelda makes GDC big? Only Princess Debut 2 could make this thing upstage E3.
