TFU Na Game Developers Conference 2008

Mais uma notícia sobre o projecto STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed para assinalar que Haden Blackman (Project Lead na Lucasarts Entertainment Co) irá dar uma conferência de imprensa no próximo dia 21 de Fevereiro no âmbito da Game Developers Conference 2008, a ter lugar entre 18 e 22 de Fevereiro no Moscone Center de San Francisco, EUA. Aqui a descrição da sessão, que obedece ao tema oficial de "STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED: How LucasArts is Building a Game, a Development Team and a Technology Pipeline... At the Same Time":
Project lead Haden Blackman will discuss how LucasArts addressed and overcame the combined challenges the company faced while creating STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED. In 2004, Blackman and his team began the process of creating a new game, a new team, a new game engine (with all new development tools), and a new development pipeline shared with sister company Industrial Light & Magic, all the while integrating breakthrough new technology like euphoria artificial intelligence and Digital Molecular Matter materials simulation. The cherry on top of this sundae? They were creating a game on two entirely new platforms: Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. See how Blackman and LucasArts tackled these challenges and what they've learned.
