GDC is just a week away (okay, Bungie's session is on the 28th, so a bit longer), and I've been reading the session description more carefully and doing a bit of extrapolation. I think I've come up with some fair predictions of what we might see or learn.
Principally, I think we're going to see examples of taking core values of the game and turning them into gameplay features or environments. Some more minor predictions are player travel, economy, and hopefully Grognok.
What are your predictions?

This is the Game Developer's Conference. It's not really to promote their game. They've done GDC before, I remember one on management and one on networking. They are there to help other game developers. They'll be talking about how to make their game worlds interesting, how to get players to invest into their game, how to intrigue players. They'll talk more indepth about their 'pillars' of game design from a writer's perspective. That's my guess. We'll see though. Seeing as how all eyes will be glued to their session, they might promote their game a bit with a trailer or ViDoc.
