Here
is a quick look at the floorplans of the 2008 Game Developer
Conference reveals that Microsoft and Epic have secured the
two biggest floor spaces.
With the largest exhibit at the event, taking up 4,800 square
ft of space, Microsoft will certainly have a bigger presence
than in previous years, when Sony and Nintendo got the biggest
areas to utilize this professionals-only game industry conference
as a pre-E3 event.
Only second in size to Microsoft’s space, Epic Games’
presence at the event isn’t surprising at all, since
the developer always uses GDC to show the latest Unreal Engine
technology.
Furthermore, both companies’ spaces are in front of
each other in the first level of the Moscone West Hall. This
last detail wouldn’t matter if wasn’t for the
fact that the two companies worked closely on Gears of War.
