[GDC'12, Multi] GDC 2012 is ready to kick off

The Game Developers Conference is about to kick off and will run from the 5th of March until the 9th of March, and typically it isn't the place for developers to make huge announcements. What it does typically provide is an interesting insight into what developers are up to or how they do what it is that they do.

However, there are a few things happening this year. For example, we've heard that Epic is showing off Unreal Engine 4 behind closed doors and that Crytek will be showcasing some upgrades to CryEngine 3 including DX11 support. But there are also other rumblings, such as chance that Valve will talk about plans for a 'SteamBox', and ex IGN UK boss Justin Keeling tweeted about SEE's plans to announce something and also talk E3 plans, and who knows... maybe Nintendo will talk about the Wii U or something? Anyway, it is always likely that we'll never hear anything huge, because this is GDC.

Either way it is interesting for those who are passionate about the industry and the medium that is video games. What would you like to see come out of the conference? Are there any particular panels you wish you could check out?
