Edit:

Go to the 1 minute mark and you'll see what he's talking about with the "spider".

Nice write up though. Thanks Jon.

With the shininess and sharp corners/joints, the spiders do look sort of mechanical.

if this is from Earthrise, I remember reading something about the use of Nanites causing things to mutate around the world... could explain the metalic/mechanical look of the spiders.
 

 Shallow.. I think they are talking about the mechnoid in the trailer... It was a four legged crawler, that did look like a spider. I think it looks cool and showed the potential. In no way should this be considered a repersentation of Earthrise, it is a teaser and that what it should be judged by. Finally got the game in motion instead of screenshots. Hopefully the next video will be that of combat, also of the ui and skill usage.

Yes, I realized that after watchng the video and edited my post with a youtube link to it.

Actually, Eskil Steenberg was a speaker at GDC.  There are a lot of people interested in what he's doing, which is pretty innovative.  Here's a post about him on massively:  linky...

Yes ! -

In Love the story is not something that is "Pre-scripted" but something that is organically created while you play. ...  The game is based on a powerful procedural engine that creates a dynamic world that can be changed over time by players, characters, and the passing of time.  

This is something i've been interested in for a looooong time - "emergent" storylines and content, just like in a living world.  I'll definitely be watching the progress on LOVE.

ARGH! Where's the news about World of Darkness.... gimmi gimmi gimmi...

he Secret World

Sorry folks, I can’t talk about the info on this game just yet, it’s been embargoed . Just thought I’d whet your appetites a little bit and let you know that as soon as we’re able, we’ll tell you everything we know.

Not too sure about this game But I hope we get some information on Rapture in the near Future, or some people know it as the un-named SE nextgen mmo. There was an information leak saying that SE is supposed to give information about this new MMO at this upcoming E3, ( I hate how SE is always tightlipped about all their new projects, they do not give you the slightest information until not too long before release.

I'm pretty pumped about finding more about The Secret World, I'm hoping it's more up my alley. As gorgeous as Conan is, it's missing several features I'd like, PvP isn't a feature to me :(

But anyway, this was a good year for GDC lots of interesting things. Speaking of Indy odd games, there's Twin Skies that just caught my eye. Seems like a cross between Free Realms and Mabinogi, I think that's going to be very interesting it should even launch this summer as free to download, don't expect huge amounts of content right away though as their plan goes against waiting forever to release a 'complete' game. The devs are the people behind Neopets expect extreme cuteness, proceed with caution. :D

Considering I've been checking out The Secret World since summer 2007, I can assure you you are not talking about The Secret World. No information whatsover has come up about The Secret World except the settings a bit (three cities: New York, Shanguai and London), possibilities to travel to other realms and time travel, plus the 2012 apocalyptic mayan calendar talking about the end of an era, dark forces, occult societies, lots of lovecraftian elements, etc. Very few informations have come out since may 2007 and especially nothing on how the game is built. We will know more on april 7th 2009 that is sure and I'm really looking forward to it.
