I just got back from E3, where I played Prime2, UnrealChamp2, Killzone, saw the new movie demos for HL2
HECK EVEN DOOM3 which I now remember had balls to be on the show floor.
First off, Prime 2, Unreal 2, Killzone, and even the mighty Half-Life 2 don't have nearly the amount hype of Halo 2. Because they don't, these games have to be on the floor to create a buzz for themselves. Bungie doesn't need to put Halo 2 on the floor to get the industry talking about it, it's already the most anticipated game ever, period! I'm sure all of those other games you played were great, but the very fact that they were on the floor shows their need for hype. That is all E3 is about... hype. Bungie already has enough preasure to make Halo 2 absolutely perfect. The last thing they need is to look into internet forums all over the fan community and see the little nick picky comments that are already begining to show up about the MP video. Basically, Bungie is king of the hill right know, and they don't need to spend extra time making some playable demo for E3. All their time and effort is going into making a great finished product, not some half@$$ demo that could stab them in the back. This is good news... Bungie is more focused on the game, not the hype!
Second off, Doom 3 has been in production for twice as long as Halo 2, something like 4 or 5 years. If id didn't put Doom 3 on the show floor this year, I think fans of the game would boycott. They had to put Doom 3 on the the floor.
