This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we digest the final seven days of headlines from GDC 2024 – a convention that was unsurprisingly colored by the previous 18 months of trade turmoil. Eurogamer’s Chris Tapsell was there, and joins us in the present day to report again on what was being stated on the bottom.
From this facet of the pond, we noticed the widespread anger at mass layoffs and the scepticism surrounding AI. However what was the temper at GDC 2024 actually like – and the way did recreation builders there truly really feel? Chris fills us in on what he heard – and why, at a convention stuffed with dozens of builders presenting their greatest work, the temper wasn’t solely doom and gloom.
Take a hear to listen to Chris’ favorite moments from the present – plus renditions of a Mario power-up sound impact from him and Newscast common Victoria Kennedy. Blup-blup-blup!
