A bit of a coup for Nottingham's GameCity festival - this year's 'Vision statement' ( a sort of opening speech to set the tone for the event) will be delivered by Katamari Damacy creator, Keita Takahashi. The designer has just announced his latest project, the PS3 game Nobi Nobi Boy, so will have plenty to talk about.
The Vision statement, sponsored by BAFTA, will be given on Saturday 27th October at Nottingham's Broadway Media Centre. Last year's version was given by Oddworld founder Lorne Lanning who later joined me and three other panelists at a city centre curry house to debate the state of the industry. Let's hope Mr Takahashi does the same.
Other developers signed up to take part in the festival are Frontier, Freestyle Games, Travellers Tales, Free Radical Design, Mode 7 and SCEE.
