Organizers of
GDC 2010 are reminding that today is the last day to register for
up to 35% off pass prices for the March 9th-13th event, with the
free Android phone offer also expiring today.
The Moscone Center, San Francisco-based event has just announced a raft of new lectures, including
highlighted talks from Pixar notables, Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, Double Fine's Tim Schafer, and
Final Fantasy XIII's director Motomu Toriyama, and a
surprise lecture from
Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto.
However, Thursday, February 4th is the final day that GDC is accepting registrations at the early rate, which includes
up to 35% discount from final pass prices. The early reg rate will be open until 11.50pm ET this evening.
In addition, today is the final day to
register for free Nexus One and Verizon Droid by Motorola phones with GDC 2010 attendance, as part of a promotion between Google and Game Developers Conference. Select All-Access Pass and Summits & Tutorials Pass attendees will receive the phone, and more information is available
on a GDC website page.
As well as the
nine major Summits, from iPhone to indie and social games -- and
notable tutorials on the first two days of the show, there are
six main Tracks - programming, art, production, business, audio, and design - for GDC 2010. These include lectures from the creators of
Assassin's Creed II, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Uncharted 2, Braid, God Of War III, Dante's Inferno, APB, and a host of other acclaimed games.
Game Developers Conference 2010 -- part of Think Services, as is this website -- will also play host to the
GDC Expo Floor, including a host of notable tool companies, the recruitment-specific GDC Career Pavilion, the
12th Annual Independent Games Festival plus Awards and the
10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, open to all pass holders.
More information on many of the highlighted areas of GDC 2010 is available on
the official Game Developers Conference weblog, and the
GDC 2010 website has a full list of lectures, passes, and opportunities at this year's event, as well as specific on registration pricing and options.
Attendees are also reminded that they can
email GDC 2010's registration staff -- or call them at 866-535-8997 or +1 (415) 947-6926 from 9am to 4pm PT each weekday -- if they have any issues registering. (All
GDC 2010 registrations commenced before the 11.50pm ET deadline will be honored, even if any technical issues occur.)
