Next trailer has a New Orleans vibe. Zombies! Left 4 Dead 2, coming November 17th! Chainsaws! "Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC."

11:07PM PT: Crackdown 2 ... trailer! "The city is infected, you are the cure." Looks like CG. Super cop chasing a criminal and then shooting him in the head. Oh no, some new kind of super monster enemy explodes out of the sewer! Literally.

Left For Dead 2 is surprising because Valve is usually pretty slow in releasing games.

But why isn't it coming to Wii? What group of gamers are more likely to get up and get physical wit peripherals than Wii owners?

Tony Ride IS coming to the Wii (unless they said something we missed, but the official PR we posted included Wii).

Splinter Cell: Conviction gameplay. Sam playing a piano, having flashbacks about his daughter, leaving his old organization. The emo beard is gone, thank heaven. "The man who played by the rules, listened to the voice in his ear. he's gone." Fisher being hunted by his organization.

Sam Fisher just disarms a thug's gun, takes it apart, breaks his arm and is now shoving him around while choking him. The info that Sam is asking for is projected on the wall like a movie screen.

"Driven by his emotions, Sam is now the ultimate predator. And nothing shows this off better than his newest ability: the Mark and Execute." Each environment is a sandbox. Sam is much more nimble than he used to be. The controls don't look nearly as awkward.

Due out this fall, only on Xbox 360.

I must have missed the Wii part. I thought it was PS3/X360 only.

Huh, weird that we are getting L4D2 while we still haven't gotten Half Life 2 Ep.3 or even Half Life 3.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 01, 2009, 02:19:02 PM »

Half Life is Valves baby, like Mario is for Miyamoto.

Isn't L4D a partnership between Valve and EA?
EA Partners or something?

Schappert is back to announce Forza Motorsport III, due in October.
Shots of hyper realistic cars flood the screen, Dan Greenwalt, Turn 10 creative director takes the stage.
"forza Motorsport is inspired by all things cars." "It's this love of cars that drove my team to create the definitive racing game of this generation." And, again, he repeated "the definitive racing game of this generation."

Microsoft sure has a funny way of defining 'exclusive'.

Splinter Cell is a good series, not sure if I like the new direction. Where do they take it from here? Sam Fisher becomes a full blown serial killer?

In a way that makes sense.

Mr. Grunt voice himself, Joe Staten! OMG, first person ODST drop happening right now. You can see monitors on the pod as the drop happens, communicating. The Prophet of regret's ship is jumping as the player sees the slipspace bubble engulf the sky.
The detonator found will flashback to fight as Dutch, another missing ODST "piecing together clues until you solve the mystery of New Mombassa."

Halo Reach is what it is called.

Oh good, fifty dollars for four new maps! F**k you Valve.

Oh, and they took all the new interesting stuff out of Conviction and turned it into STEALTH exactly like what we've had the whole time. BORING.

Alan Wake: The flashlight game not on Wii.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #67 on:** June 01, 2009, 02:35:36 PM »

Alan Wake: Not concerned for his friend, just needs to save his book.

is this a vampire game?

Alan Wake looks like a freakin Horror Movie.
I want to watch it.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #71 on:** June 01, 2009, 02:38:53 PM »

Will this be episodic a la Alone in the Dark? "Tonight on Alan Wake" it says. Looks that way! Wake is running through a cabin, chasing Rusty. The game is narrated by Wake as the game is played, as though you're playing through the novel.
Big horde of monsters, it looks like to much for Wake to handle. He runs to a nearby generator and starts it up. Creating a safe zone of light. Bullet time mode, Wake kills a monster with a flare gun. Big explosion. nice pyrotechnics.

Music channel and Netflix channels discussed.

Schappert: "You've just seen an incredible lineup of exclusive games on Xbox 360. Today I'm proud to announce that music is coming to Xbox Live" thanks to a partnership with Last.fm. And best of all Last.fm will be available to Xbox Live gold members later this year for no additional charge."

Today Microsoft is relaunching video service with full 1080p with Zune video. Also, every movie and TV show will be accessible instantly. Doubling number of countries video store is available in. Will launch this fall. No need to download or anything. Will just play.

"Netflix has been a huge hit for our US members" and now they're going to make it even better. Notably, by adding movies to your queue straight from the NXE – no computer required. Not in the US? They're bringing Sky to the UK. "Live television delivered to a gaming console with no additional hardware needed."
So, upgrading to 1080p; every movie and TV show is available instantly; and they're more than doubling the number of countries the service is available in, from 8 to 18! "InstantOn" 1080p HD ... that's really the brand.

Announcing Live Party so that your avatars will sit around a virtual TV and watch it. Looks like a lame version of Mystery Science Theatre. Announcing a partnership with Facebook. Felicia Day on stage from The Guild.

Season 3 of the guild is coming this fall... Showing off Facebook on Xbox 360. Same kind of windowed browser as the rest of the Xbox interface. Can use friend linker, that shows XBL and FB friends in the same list.
Can view photos from yourself and your friends off your Xbox. Can view them in slide show mode. In fullscreen on Xbox. Can also browse status updates on your Xbox.

Facebook is discussed.
