There was not a TON of MP2 info disclosed, but there was some, which will be mentioned.
There's also some super hyping going down at IGN forums by the editors right now. About Capcom (not sure about this one, yet), apparently.

Lordy!
Lordy, I say!
NDAs have my tongue. But whoa! Whoa, I say! Holy crap!
Please discuss.
P.S. I apologize in advance. E3 2004 will be happy and warm.

Jeremy Dunham editor for IGNPS2:
I can vouch for this. I too have seen something and Matt isn't even close to giving it enough credit. Best ever? Maybe,
Either way, it's going to be my most wanted rather soon.
So... yeah. The guy talking about MP2 is a fairly reliable source. Not sure about IGN, though

Translation: E3 will have at least one Cube game that, unlike most of the connectivity stuff that dominated Nintendo's lineup last year, people will actually give a sh!t about.
Where is this Capcom stuff coming from? Matt doesn't mention them in the post you quoted. We probably shouldn't be too excited though since the PS2 guy is talking about it which suggests it's not exclusive. I mean a good multiplatform game is still great but it's not going to sell any Cubes.

edit: Ok, wait...Was he talking about Capcom? It sounds like it could be anything...And I surely hope it's not just RE4-related, considering it's already been revealed...Oh well, it's not that long of a wait...
NDAs, eh? *signs point to a Ninty franchise*

The Capcom part was posted by Mary Jane (another Gamecube editor), who said this was all "reference to a recent Capcom teleconference" or something along those lines. I can't get into the Insider forums to comfirm she said that, and I'll have to wait until Sunday until I can bum my friends account again.
Also, this was all posted in the IGN Gamecube forums. So most of this is all Nintendo related, most likely.

If this is Metroid related, they just upped the embargo to 3:30 PM PST tomorrow. If it is not Metroid related, which I beginning think that it is not, then..well..I have no idea.

And knowing IGN, they'll gush over it until it's finally revealed, then they'll rant for months about how "Nintendo is screwing up again"...

"Killer 7, one of the Capcom 5, is no longer exclusive to the Gamecube. In a press conference held in U.S. Las Vegas, Hiroyuki the producer and Kobayashi announced Killer 7 for the PlayStation 2. Killer 7 will be revealed at E3 and will still debut this July for the Gamecube."

To be honest, I'm more worried about it sucking. If that happens, "we" have nothing.

I was using the example that the Xbox versions of KoTOR and Splinter Cell sold best on the Xbox because it was their first. Does everything need to be Nintendo related to make sense to you? And despite KoTOR being a much better version on PC, the sales figures don't relfect that.

personally though- i really want to see this playable version of re4

Capcom Entertainment yesterday announced that it premiered the first-ever playable version of the highly anticipated survival horror sequel Resident Evil 4 on January 28 in Las Vegas. Though IGN was on-hand for the presentation, non-disclosure agreements prevent us from revealing details about the game until a later date specified in advance by the publisher.
NDS agreements on gameplay? WTF did Capcom do to RE? It damn well better be good.

Talk about a let down. "Resident Evil 4 is playable!" Well I should f*cking hope so by now. "We played it but can't tell you anything else!" So basically the big news is that IGN has played it and we haven't it. WOW!
That pissed me off so much, although I'm guess it's not a surprise that IGN decided that the fact they played a game and we didn't is newsworthy.

maybe they were excited because they could see the game making its release date and possibly te controls being fixed along with the graphics being amazing

It's artificial hype. Once the NDA terminates, a lot of publications will pretty much debut the info they've held back at nearly the same time, strategically sparking a uniform buzz throughout the media much like the Janet Jackson/Superbowl episode.
What happened at the Superbowl?
