DOAX2 is supposed to be just a video, I think (of the CG variety).

Oh hey... almost forgot about SC: DA. They've been pretty quiet since February. I wonder how that is coming along. Fall-Winter 2006 release, isn't it?

 

[pipo]

Since Uno will be up, I wonder if they will do a surprise release of the Cam too?

 

[rabidrabbit]

Which of those will be playable, which will be just video?
If most of them are just video, I wouldn't call it very surprising. Still it's nice to have yet another source for getting E3 material, especially if it's higher quality HD.

Lost Planet is going to be playable, I haven't heard anything about those other games, but even High quality 720p footage is more than welcome, compared to previous years. And I'm fairly positive there will be more than just Lost planet playable, all in all it sounds pretty good.

those aren't necessarily demo's.....

iirc the posting only mentions that there will be content for these games - could be video footage, could be demos - so i wouldn't hold my breath for a splinter cell or crackdown demo.

 

[AlNom]

perhaps the videos are the titles that are bolded, and the demos are unbolded

i think hardknock added the emphasis re his "quite the suprise" comment

Makes a lot of sense becuase there was a story that Uno was definitely going to have support for the camera.

I would think that the camera announcement would also include the poker game because being able to see the people's faces in online poker, i think, is a first and probably really cool (i imagine, i dont play poker off or online).

oh whoops... missed that bit.

Lost Planet and MotoGP are sure as i know, for the rest are there any interesting titles really? Theres the PS3 games/videos that will probably take 90% of my time so it would be nice if the Lost planet demo is a "generous" one as a bonus. I think the Kameo Demo for ex was very good in that sense, the single GRAW also.

Crackdown and Splinter Cell are both extremely interesting to me.

I don't know how you can totally discount one of MS's most prominent 1st partry games, from the creator of GTA. Granted they're an unproven developer, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what David Jones can do next.

I think we all know my favorites, Crackdown and Viva Pinata (although with all the press to be generated by Viva, I don't know if sleeper is the proper word). Of course, after watching the video for Lost Planet, I am now keenly interested in that one as well. So far from GameStop I have Mass Effect, Crackdown, Too Human, Viva Pinata, Lost Planet, and Super Mario for the DS, all pre-paid. There are some other that I am interested in, but I don't know if I am first week interested.

Oh thats easy, i hate both the SplinterCell and GTA-games.

 

[NavNucST3]

Will the "REAL" GTA please stand!

I think the original top-down GTA, was easily one of my favorite PC games of all-time, I would concur that the vesions following go on my "could care less" list.

Yes those where funny games, but it was new and i was also pretty young then, remember styling for my friends with my 3Dfx card
