You would hope

This is the first E3 in 7 years I havn't had to do a demo build of something for, so I don't really know how they've prepped their people for it.

Well, nice to see that at least one platform doesn't give VIP people what the Ordies can't have

Good for you!

Back on topic: I demand my Halo 3 trailer on Live within 2 weeks!

Ah!

With Microsoft, the rumors are always true. The next iteration in Bungie Studios' Halo series will appear at E3 2006 in video form at its Tuesday, May 9 news conference, IGN learned today from independent sources who recently spoke with Microsoft executives.

The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged.

Video? Like Killzone and Metal Gear Solid 4? Like true real time render video?

Where the shit is Street Fighter 2?

I expect them to release it when Peter Moore takes the stage...

Here's a vid of it being demoed in Oz:

I reckon they're holding it until E3, so they can say in their press conference "if you check your 360 right now you can get x and y and z"

I doubt Bungie would be happy with a Video only view on Halo, especially after stealing E3 with their Halo 2 theatre...

Cheers

Slightly off topic, but still:

On Tuesday May 2th from 0200-1500 PT Xbox Live, Xbox.com and the forums will be offline for maintenance.

During this time, Xbox.com, the forums and Xbox Live will not be accessible.

Edit - but not when xbox.com isn't up of course.

Also slightly off topic, but it seemed the best thing to do is keep just one 360 thread topmost:

Let your Xbox 360 create and post in it's own Web Blog about your playing habits:

News report on Major Nelson's site.

Register here:

It takes a couple of days for the Xbox Live stuff to start, so check back on mine later this week:

PVB's 360 Web Blog.

And then getting people all excited about what was in the video and not actually putting any of it into the final game.

That blog thing looks really weird and quite fun at the same time.

Er.... please don't group Killzone with MGS4 - I have every reason to believe based on their cut scene tech in MGS2 and 3 that they would have very little trouble rendering scenes like that in real time on current video cards. Also the fact that there is a video of his panning around a scene is more evidence again.

Whereas with Killzone 2, it blatently isn't real time.
