hay i just thought Id post some stuff i found about E3 this year pertaining to xbox and halo2.
-While Microsoft will announce that they are currently working on their next console, but will not show the hardware or software in action, they will announce more developments for their Windows Media Center software.
-Perfect Dark Zero will be nowhere to be found.
-Microsoft will announce a new platform title with a lovable mascot (Blinx was a mascot, but hardly lovable).
-One level of Halo 2 will be playable on the Xbox.
-A new Splinter Cell title will be announced.
-Microsoft will announce that they have finally partnered up with Electronic Arts to offer online gameplay with that company’s games.
-A sequel to Ninja Gaiden will be announced, but the game will be described as being “at least two years” away.
-Microsoft will show off Dead Or Alive Ultimate with Bill Gates taking on Tomonobu Itagaki in a nail-biting match to the death.
-Microsoft will show a software demonstration of what Xbox 2 games could look like on the system. One game that will be highlighted will be Perfect Dark 2, meaning I believe that game will be confirmed to get bumped to Xbox 2. We’ll also find out what the system will be called, or in the least, the code name.
-Halo 2 will be the obvious Xbox highlight, and at least one single player level will be playable, as well as one multiplayer level – with units linked together to play the game over Xbox Live.
-Doom 3 will be playable on the Xbox. Half-Life 2 will be confirmed to be coming to the Xbox, or Xbox 2.
-Electronic Arts will officially announce that they’re now on-board for Xbox Live.
Xbox Live 3.0 will be fully unveiled, and titles that will work with the new options will be abundant including MechAssault 2, Halo 2, and a newly announced Crimson Skies 2.
-True Fantasy Live Online will be playable.
-Konami will have Winning Eleven playable, and it will have Xbox Live support.
-Gamers will be looking forward to Jade Empire more than Knights Of The Old Republic 2.
-Microsoft will showcase some sort of video conferencing peripheral – much like the EyeToy - that will be tied into Xbox Live somehow.
