A DICE-y Speach

  • Article

The D.I.C.E. conference was held last week in Las Vegas. Aimed primarily at game designers, this is where folks in the game industry gather to talk shop and hear the latest buzz. Peter Moore, Microsoft's Corporate VP of Interactive Entertainment (I think he's my boss' boss' boss' boss' boss' boss) gave a speech that talked about the PC gaming ecosystem and how we (Microsoft) need to lead with great platforms (Vista/Xbox), tools (XNA), and, yes, games. His speech even featured a shout-out to Flight Simulator, including a peek at what it might look like running under DirectX 10. It looks pretty sweet. Gamespy describes it here.
