I was just curious whether there was anybody here who is in the midwest and might be attending this? It is September 18. If so, thought it would be cool for us heartlanders at the cafe to meet up for real since it seems all the other gatherings are on the coasts.

I went to the Austin Gaming Expo last July, but then there were no announcements or plans for one this year. I'm totally bummed out about that.

Would love to go to the Austin convention, but I am already missing Animefest in Dallas because I am through with community college, moving onto a 4-year university and am frankly, broke right now lol. Can only afford to go to a con in my own town unfortunately.

Um, I've been looking online (on the official website, which hasn't been updated since July 2003) and on other places... there is no updated information. If you have any recent info, please share! I'm desperate to know what is going on!

one of 124930986 press releases I got:
Sony has chosen the Austin Game Conference on Sept 9-10, 2004 in Austin, Texas to give its most detailed technical discussion yet on programming for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). This week Sony announced the PSP will support Talkman, which translates spoken input into another language and plays it through the console's speaker, and Sony also said the PSP's wireless technology would allow up to 16 players to compete against each other simultaneously.
Blurb below from the AGC web site: http://www.gameconference.com/conference/sessions/psp.html :
Programming the PlayStation Portable (PSP) David Coombes, Senior Developer Support Engineer Peter Young, Developer Support Engineer
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is more similar to a game console than a traditional handheld. It is a powerful device for a handheld gaming platform, and includes some innovative hardware features that will enable new gameplay experiences.
This presentation will detail the architecture and design of the PSP to as great an extent as possible. Key features that will impact game design decisions will be highlighted. This is Sony's most detailed public technical discussion of the PSP and developing for the PSP to date! Important production-related considerations will be discussed. Software APIs and example program code will be illustrated.
Let me know if you have any questions about the conference.

Ohhh! I knew about this... but it isn't the same as the Austin Gaming Expo. AGE was more of an enthusiast gathering... all kinds of machines were there from Atari 2600 to X-box. There was even a DDR tourney, a 3rd Strike Machine, MVC2, and a Mame Machine w/ KOF98. I got hooked on Tempest 2000 there.
Austin Gaming Conference appears to be more about the industry than anything else. That's why there are so many guest speakers from Sony and Microsoft and so many seminars on industry aspects. While interesting, I don't think its for the mainstream gamer/enthusiast. As an aspiric academic, I might be interested in the Women's Game Conference going on the same day, and maybe the seminar about "Who Owns You? The Issues of Buying and Selling Virtual "Property"". If I was into programming, I'd attend the seminar on PSP programming.
Thanks for the info though.
