The Game Technology Association (GTA), a peer networking group specifically serving companies involved in producing hardware, software and network enabling technologies for video game development on all platforms and devices, announced today that IBM Senior Executive Architect for Games George Dolbier will keynote the fall Game Technology Association meeting on October 26, 2005 in Austin, Texas. Mr. Dolbier will discuss details of the IBM Processors that will power next generation game platforms, and how the new processors and consoles will drive new and unique infrastructure considerations for connected console and online games.
The GTA meeting takes place Oct. 26th, the day before the Austin Game Conference, from 11 AM to 5 PM, and is open to qualified company participants; membership is not required to attend. Details and registration information is available on the GTA web site: http://www.GameTechnologyAssociation.com. The meeting is sponsored by IBM Games and InterActive Entertainment in conjunction with Online Game Services, Inc. (OGSI).
GTA meetings offer a casual, peer-to-peer forum where technology leaders can meet, exchange ideas and conduct business in a relaxed atmosphere. This is a unique forum unto the industry, game developers and publishers will not be in attendance. GTA serves the needs of companies involved in producing software and hardware technologies for the creation of interactive entertainment for video game consoles, handheld and mobile devices, personal computers, consumer electronics and the Internet. Qualified participants include game development application and tools providers, middleware and development software companies, game console and platform companies, art, animation and audio tools companies, video, audio and graphic chip and card companies and peripherals companies.
The GTA meeting will kick-off with the keynote from IBM highlighting the unique capabilities of this next generation of processors, the infrastructure requirements, and new programming models as well as the broad applicability across the games industry, followed by lunch and a series of industry discussions.
"The underlying architecture of these next generation processors, give them broad application to many industries and purposes. We are delighted that Games is the first industry to truly embrace the new technology, not only will this bring game play and experience to a new level but will also continue to draw the attention of other industries to our emerging industry," said David Laux, Global Executive for Games and Interactive Entertainment IBM. "We are excited to be involved with the GTA and the attending companies that are perfectly positioned to take advantage of this new era in entertainment, communications and collaboration."
"The platforms available for interactive entertainment continue to increase in number, power and complexity," said Christopher V. Sherman, Game Technology Association and Game Initiative executive director. "Having the opportunity to hear IBM discuss their plans for the Cell Processor will provide a distinct competitive advantage for all companies creating hardware, software and networking technology for video game development." ...by Published on September 12th, 2005 21:19

You may or may not have been able to buy a clearanced copy of Astro Boy for the GBA earlier today, but we do know that Treasure, the developer of that 2D masterpiece (and we’re not talking about the mechanized monstrosity that was the PS2 version), will be sticking to its 2D guns in the next generation (if only for the Xbox 360).
Here’s what a rep for the company that made Ikaruga and Gunstar Heroes had to say about the matter: “There is no major difference in terms of gameplay for the games that we develop regardless of whether it is for console or handheld because they are all based on 2D action.” Then, ”...we take pride in developing our games with an elite and dedicated staff, which is small, so it will take longer to develop an Xbox 360 title.”
Whoa, an Xbox 360 title? So we take it then that 2D action, or at least the style of it (with 3D-realized characters and backgrounds), will be coming to the next generation of consoles, one way or another. Whether the idealistic young Astro Boy can make console manufacturers pay for discriminating against 2D titles in the past is a question for another time, however. ...by Published on September 12th, 2005 20:30
The popularity of Microsoft's Xbox 360 is on the rise in Japan, but it's still far from competing with Sony's PlayStation 3, according to marketing research company Infoplant. The latest survey conducted by the market research firm has found that the number of gamers interested in the Xbox 360 nearly tripled over the past two months, with 5.8 percent saying they have interest in the next-generation console. In a similar survey conducted in early July, only 2 percent of respondents said they were looking forward to the Xbox 360.
The PlayStation 3 continued to be the top pick among Japanese gamers, with 72.3 percent saying they are considering purchasing the console. Nintendo's Revolution came in at second place at 21.9 percent, well up from the 8 percent in the previous survey.
Although multiple choices were allowed in the survey, 21.5 percent of the gamers said they have no interest in any of the three consoles. That also means nearly all of the Japanese gamers with interest toward the next-generation gaming consoles had marked the PS3 as one of their picks.
While the rise of interest in the Xbox 360 among Japanese gamers may just be a part of the overall growing awareness toward next-generation consoles, another factor may be Microsoft's recent campaign to attract gamer interest in the country. The company has been repeatedly stating that it is taking the Japanese market seriously, and it held a press conference in late July to reveal a long list of Japanese game makers that have signed up as third-party publishers. A number of Japanese-developed games were also announced at the event, including Ridge Racer 6, which is scheduled to be playable at this week's Tokyo Game Show. The previous survey by Infoplant was conducted prior to Microsoft's announcements.
The new console will need as much support from Microsoft as it can get, as the current Xbox console is considered bulky and lacking in Japanese-oriented games. While the Xbox 360 will be the first next-gen console on store shelves, there's still the question of how many units retail stores will be willing to order, considering the lack of current Xbox sales and apathy toward the 360.
Infoplant's research was conducted with a sample of 1,000 console owners that were equally split into four age groups: 250 gamers in their teens, 250 in their 20s, 250 in their 30s, and 250 in their 40s. Each group was equally divided between males and females. ...by Published on September 12th, 2005 20:30
