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"

Shit, they better not release it during E3 - at least wait for me to get home and download it...

Likewise. Whether it can live up to the promise of being a FPSMMORPGRTS or whatever is debatable but it looks lovely.

Had a look on the Japanese trailers and there's a few interesting ones:

Zegapain: Looks like Zone of the Enders type aerial robot shoot-em-up.

Karas: Anime film?

Ziria: Anime themed RPG.
