"You can add much more definition. Advanced character lighting is another thing. "We've done significant work on the character pipeline." "There's much greater contrast in the shadows, much greater specular lighting...much more detail on the character overall."

Next Gen tech in Unreal3 tech....

11:15 am PT -- April 29th bring GTAIV to Xbox 360, "on day one." Starting Fall 2008, GTA DLC will hit Xbox Live Marketplace. "plenty of games for the whole family to enjoy," adds Schappert

What kind of DLC for GTAIV though? Just one of the episodes or something more?

You can't tell me that doesn't look like crap

I can tell you it doesn't look like crap. I love hack and slash games if they are done correctly... Too Human appears to be one that may be done correctly, specially if it draws most of its influence from Diablo

that's kinda of neat. If only I knew another person with a zune. :(

blah nothing atleast date wise for Fable 2. But its looking better and better. Hopefully Peter can deliver on everything.

The rumors have been running for GOW2 for some time.

Too Human looks interesting. I haven't read up on the game before.

I dunno if I"m gonna have time to play all these games. I'm still backlogged from last year.

The drop-in/drop-out co-op was the best announcement for Fable 2. I love games that have this.

edit: GameTrailers has video showing off the co-op and other stuff.

This is Peter Molyneux you are talking about. You know better! :p I think the 360 really needs a few action adventure/rpg's like Fable (and Zelda..games of that ilk) so I hope Fable 2 turns out well.

The Ninja Gaiden 2 coming in June is a nice suprise, I thought I would be waiting longer for that. Also saved films could be interesting in that game.... they're definitely awesome in Halo. I hope more Devs start adding them.

The same trailer is up on XBL in HD along with a free theme and gamerpics.

i hope that trailer is advertising the fact that they are adding in some kind of chainsaw clash to the gameplay instead of just randomly picking a winner if 2 people chainsaw at the same time.

And here I was hoping that it was advertising the ability to chainsaw someone from the crotch up. :laugh:

I really think they were making a cool video, but you never know.

well I'm hoping he learned from Fable 1 with all the hype. Its his damn british accent that made his apology seem so sincere last time. :)

I'm more or less hoping they'll be able to delivery the stuff they've shown already in various videos since the game was annouced.

like today's drop in/drop out co-op. the Marriage/kids. Kill Spouse. all the stuff with the dog from a while back.

I really hope they fix multiplayer in Gears 2. A matchmaking system, client side hit detection, and find a way to remove the weapon sliding glitch once and for all. Gears was fun online back in the day when I didn't have anything better to play, but the fact is I can't stand it compared to the likes of Halo 3 and COD4. It's just way too in consistant.

I hate to say it, but the games I've tried so far - Little Gamers, Rocketball and Proximity have been god awful.

But having played it less than a minute, I can say that "the dishwasher" is totally bad ass.
