10 hour long XBLA game? I'm digging the 2.5D side-scrolling nature.

hopefully its 2 players.

But I can't believe they spent 15 minutes on Beatles rock band. I mean how much can they really show on it.

Is 15 minutes bulk?

Halo ODST live demo now

 

[blurredvision]

I just can't understand how Turn 10 Studios spits out a Forza sim every 2-3 years, and we'll be lucky if we see GT5 within 5 years of GT4's release. Sometimes you just gotta say enough is enough and put out the damn game already.

 

[R Nilla]

Forza 3 looks great.

 

[Queasy]

Showing how you flash back to other ODSTs to piece together the story.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Is it just me, or does Halo look kinda lame compared to the other stuff they've showed?

 

[Queasy]

Now Halo: Reach

coming 2010. Just a teaser video with the hint of multiple Spartans.

buying Halo ODST gets you into the Halo Reach multiplayer Beta.

The graphics don't compare but I like the story concept. I think the biggest problem is that it is Halo. People are going to be getting tired of it.

 

[Queasy]

Alan Wake avoids the fate of Duke Nuke'em. They're live demoing it now.

 

[R Nilla]

Alan Wake lives!

 

[Miklebud]

Alan Wake! About time!!

 

[blurredvision]

So what's Halo Reach? Another FPS?

 

[herkulease]

Alan Wake, better turn out to be great. what's it been 4/5 years?

compared to the other games they've shown yeah. everything was like rushed.

Oh if the last minute addition was Ringo and Paul it was kinda lame to me.

FORZA 3! WOOHOO! Coming in October!

Live demo now. The tease seemed to suggest car rollovers. Yep.

In-car view now.

60 FPS. 400 cars from 50 manufacturers.

Adding the ability to create and upload videos now.

Need demo now

Damn...I need to go clean myself...

 

[erwos]

I'm shocked that Alan Wake is making an appearance, but I like it!

 

[Slick5150]

Ahh. Remedy hinted a week or two ago that no, Alan Wake is not vaporware and that you'd be seeing an update soon. Glad to see the project alive and looking well.

 

[Queasy]

Moving on to the non-gaming stuff? Yep, music via Last.FM. Available later this year to Gold members at no additional charge.

 

[R Nilla]

Hmm, last.fm does not really interest me.

 

[Queasy]

Adding the ability to browse and add movies for Netflix from the 360 without having to go to your PC.

 

[Queasy]

Dude...I'm not going to be happy if there's no Hulu...

Pandora would be far more interesting

 

[erwos]

[Queasy]

Coming this fall to 18 countries.

 

[R Nilla]

Hey, the party system they announced last year and then took away.
