J. Allard, Cheif XNA Architect has been confirmed to deliver a keynote speech at this years Game Developer Conference on 7-11 March in San Francisco. 

For those who did not see the incredible announcement of the XNA Architecture for devloping game last year, expect a revival and evolution of the architecture this year.  The promo realtime demo showed us an incredibly detail Saleen S7 car drive at incredible speed into a crash wall.  Upon impact the car smashed into hundreds of pieces.  Not unuasual in game today you may think, well this car was fully light, shadowed right down to the fragments of paint shattering off the car on impact.

If you never saw this footage click the here to see it in action and the think how did they do that in so much detail and realism in only 2 weeks of using XNA.  Whilst you are there check out the morphing demo showing creatures morphing in realtime to the next with real hair/fur - just amazing!

Now also think how advanced might that demo be at this years GDC?  Roll on March I say, you can be sure I will be posting information and shots here on the event.
