Feature: 'E3 Report: Pitching Update: How to Give Your Game Idea Legs'

In today's second E3 feature article, Vincent Diamante discusses the E3 developer session dealing with the art and science of the game pitch - exactly how to get your game signed with a publisher. This particular session took the form of a panel featuring representatives from Midway, THQ, Majesco, NCSoft, and Gearbox, among others. In his introduction, Vincent explains: "High above the E3 show floor, the fabled battleground of hundreds of video game content developers and publishers, a group of mostly young, independent game developers and soon-to-be developers gathered to hear a group of successful publishers and one successful developer insight into one of the most difficult and fabled aspects of the game creation process: the pitch. For this group of industry veterans, the pitch is not just a formality of a blockade between losing and winning a single contract; in fact, a good pitch can be the beginning of a multi-tiered structure of industry relationships that can be the difference between having nothing and thriving in an increasingly crazy world of electronic entertainment."
