Google encourages the development of video games on the Game Developer Conference, and gives devices

There is a new movement by the search engine company, and the truth is that every time there is an event related to developers or professionals, there is a major holding its own merits, but also presents waiting any longer " the gift. " This week is taking place the Game Developer Conference, an event based in San Francisco, aimed at game developers, and I have no doubt that is the most important of the year.

As there would be any other way, new players in the market, Apple and Google, they form an important part of the event. Reviewing the business applications of mobile devices, there is no doubt that video games are here to stay, and eat a good way to industry installed piece of electronic entertainment world, attracting an audience also unconventional.

For now we can see that Google is heating up its two main platforms, Android and Chrome OS with different paths but are virtually compelled to meet: In yesterday we learned that the two sessions that prepared on Google Chrome OS were accompanied by a laptop Cr-48, model base operating system so that developers will start to generate fun content.

The search engine company has given no details on the number of units that are giving, but as on previous occasions as Google I / O or Mobile World Congress, all enrollees were going with the bread under his arm. During the afternoon it was easy to find people with laptops Cr-48 in his hands, which were already being customized with a sticker that supplied Google itself.

Hopefully, these moves represent a boost to a highly interesting that we still can not enjoy, and that media attention is not making too much noise. Please remember that Cr-48, despite careful design, it was never designed as a device to be sold, but as a development tool. Complete success in the sessions that have to do with Android, something may have to do in the Google share offering developers: a tablet or a Nexus S Xoom, the two reference devices that Google has created together with Motorola and Samsung respectively.

In the case of Google phone we move in the same vein as on previous occasions, but the tablet is priced Motorola free to about $ 800, so that the gift is to take into account. Both devices represent a major incentive, but this is a case different from Chrome OS as Android Market is working and this alone is attractive to developers.

This morning we informed you on Tegra Zone, an internal movement to centralize the games compatible with the Nvidia Tegra hardware 2. To give you an idea of the magnitude of the Game Developer Conference, this year have enrolled more than 18,000 developers, a record so far, and certainly the tablets and phones have much to say on this.

Although the "traditional" systems such as Nintendo 3DS, do not want to budge. I recommend you take a look at the article he has prepared Dani Candle on the secret of success of Angry birds, possibly the best example in the booming mobile gaming industry. Track | CNET | Engadget
