EA: the rumor is their unannounced 360 game is based on a famous comic IP. Which one? One that hasn't been done yet - can you fill in the blanks?

After a quick cab ride from the hotel to the X05 venue (the PR team won’t let me say where it is yet) I have made my way to the main event area. The venue is situated on one of Amsterdam’s famous canals, and is huge. I arrived around 8am this morning and walked around the grounds to see the various areas where the event will take place. X05 officially kicks off tonight (local time) and after walking around and talking to some people…I can tell you it will be huge. I ran in to Robbie Bach, Peter Moore and J Allard on their way in to the main hall where they’ll deliver the press conference later today, and they are all really pumped about tonight and the announcements we’ll be making . I’ll post a blogcast of the press conference, along with some Photostories on Xbox.com that will show some of the excitement of the event. I am sitting in a work area with the PR team..and they told me they have a ton of screen shots and video that will be flooding the internet over the next two days.

From what I've read Kameo is complete but not gold. It has been sent to QA for testing, etc. I believe BlimBlim stated that all games had to be done by the end of the week.

;) The article says Kameo's gold, and its goal is Disney-like animation...
For PDZ, they say they hope it to be a new FPS benchmark. The campaign mode has 14 missions, MP has 6 maps. You can choose either Halo-type control or traditional one. It's 32 players MP at the release, but may implement 50 players when ready. It's at 98-99% in development stages.

I thought the games had to be submitted one month before launch?

Cheers!

Hopefully the 1-2% they're talking about is the AA switch... ;-)
 
Some of the cooler titles announced:

Too Human (MGS-Silicon Knights). In Too Human, players are treated to a nonstop barrage of action powered by the seamless integration of melee and ranged firearms combat and fueled by breathtaking visuals previously not possible thanks to a powerful combination of Xbox 360 and the Unreal Engine 3. Battles unfold in awesome scale as players engage in spectacular battles with vast numbers of enemies.

Mass Effect (MGS-BioWare Corp.). Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity.

Crackdown (MGS-Real Time Worlds). Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the introduction of the first truly 3-D persistent playground, highly innovative cooperative gameplay, and an extensive prop interaction system all while taking place in a massive and highly stylized urban center. All strategies and tactics are acceptable provided players clean up the streets. Players roam a virtual city built to encourage and allow the full width, depth and height of the space to be explored and exploited. “Crackdownâ€￾ will offer free-form gameplay, over-the-top action, and, for the first time in this genre, online cooperative play.

Castle Wolfenstein (id Software). id Software’s newest chapter in the legendary “Wolfensteinâ€￾ series will deliver players deep behind the enemy lines of a war-torn Germany, where Nazi experiments with technology and the supernatural threaten to turn the tide of World War II. Utilizing a revolutionary new graphics technology targeted specifically at next-generation hardware, this new Wolfenstein experience will draw players into a world of unmatched exploration, action and espionage.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 4 (Ubisoft Entertainment). Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 4 will thrust players into a new breed of gameplay that promises to innovate and revolutionize the Splinter Cell franchise. Ubisoft is taking the saga of Sam Fisher into entirely new territory, expanding the story and depth of his character.

MotoGP Ultimate Racing Technology (URT) 2006 (THQ). MotoGP URT 2006 takes the franchise to the next generation as the only official game of the MotoGP Championship on Xbox 360. Developed by the same team behind the award-winning MotoGP URT 3 and created exclusively for the Xbox 360, MotoGP URT 2006 looks set to create a new definition of high speed for racing fans looking for the fastest thrills on the fastest console.

Now that sounds interesting. To me, more interesting than Quake 4. Has there been any media released on Castle Wolfenstein for the 360?

Nice. Can't wait for this. I'm a major fan of both Splinter Cell and MGS. Basically the stealth genre. I can't wait to see what innovations there are and of course....the visuals :oops:

First they need to catch up with Naughty Dog. Then maybe they can worry about Disney.
franquly ,i don't think naughty dog animators have a lot to learn from disney (average).
I think pixar is even better.
