Nathan Drake heads to Nottingham for the annual games event, leading a fascinating line-up. Plus, the Gamesblog Breakfast discussion show returns
The organisers of the routinely excellent GameCity festival have announced the headliner for this year's event. Taking place in Nottingham from October 26-29, GameCity 6 will feature Naughty Dog lead game designer Richard Lemarchand, providing a personal introduction to Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Lemarchand will also host a behind-the-scenes look back at the previous two titles in the blockbusting series via a Creator's Commentary.
Also on the agenda is Eric Chahi, the creator of legendary Amiga platformer Another World. He'll be showing off his forthcoming downloadable god game, From Dust, and is also curating the entire first day of the festival. Finally, Robin Hunicke from cult studio thatgamecompany will be giving a late night preview of mysterious co-operative adventure, Journey.
Also on the bill is Jakub Dvorsky, the inspired Czech developer behind Amanita Design and the brilliant point-and-click odyssey, Machinarium. He is unveiling latest projects Samorost 3 and Botanicula.
Last and by all means least, fans of early morning video game debate will be ecstatic to discover that the Gamesblog Breakfasts will return! Last year, I hosted a daily topical chat event at the lovely Broadway cinema, attracting indie luminaries such as Chris Hecker, Jonathan Blow and Adam Saltsman, as well as Katamari creator Keita Takahashi, who all happily turned up to discuss games with our audience while everyone scoffed delicious full English breakfasts.
It is, then, another typially offbeat and eclectic line-up, mixing Triple A might with esoteric treats. "We're hugely excited about this opening line-up for GameCity, it's shaping up to the best yet," said understated GameCity Director Iain Simons. "We're just getting started with the programme for this year, with some huge new headline features yet to be announced..."
