Trico would have cemented it, but yeah, they won.

GDCs audience it the game development community. Therefore the "winner" of GDC would be the company did the most to leave a favorable impression with the development community, not with the gaming press or gamers themselves.

Sony did have some good announcements at GCC for developers, cheaper dev stations, shared development cost of exclusive PSN games, etc. MS and Nintendo as well.

But the real winner of GDC were the independent developers. The success, both critical and financial, of games like Braid, World of Goo, Pixeljunk Eden had shown the big publishers that you do not need a big team, huge budgets and tons of media hype to make a successful game. You just need a good idea, and a small dedicated team to implement it. Hopefully this leads to more creative and unique games, over the big developers trend of big budget sequel after sequel and nonstop hype in hope of big profits.

microsoft actually won

The real winner was... Onlive

I saw a little bit of that Uncharted 2 gameplay today. The graphics look nice and the gameplay is amazing. I can't wait to do a coverage of Uncharted 2 and God of War III on Real Talk.

you know i think everyone had a great show. but now that i think about it, SONY has been on a roll lately. theres has been a lot of announcements recently for the SONY consoles.

ninja gaiden sigma 2.
the new katamari damarcy.
ratchet and clank: ACIT
atelier rorona
the new game called mars (although i dont consider the game exclusive because is on pc too).
all the new PSN games. and all the bunch of games announced for the PSP recently.

and all the stuff they announced at GDC to top that. it has been great for SONY right now. lets see what they will announce at E3¡¡¡¡. the same goes for the other companies.

I don't think anyone wne. What the hell is it with this rhetoric anyway? If this conference is about game announcements then compared to E3, its the special olympics.

Congrats, you won the special olympics.

I think any company wons this time. I think the true winner were the developers: Hideo Kojima, Suda 51, Peter Molineux, and others that dont remmeber the names.

yeh i agree sony did, they announced so much

You mean "Well what are Sony fans talking about after the GDC" Do you really think anyone would care about sequals to games that are only for Sony systems?
