The Game Developer’s conference is rapidly approaching and with the old E3 dead and companies opting out of having large gaming showings for the Consumer Electronics Show, GDC is one of the hot spots for major announcements. News trickles from the shows planning stages every day and reveals more secrets to be seen. Today, their website updated with a very special presentation from Square-Enix (or as I like to call them, Squeenix).
