Spike’s unparalleled multi-platform coverage will kick-off the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The network will debut “GameTrailers TV Presents: The 2009 VGAs-E3 First Look Special,” a blow-out hour-long preview special that teams up with leading game publishers to unveil the most anticipated games of E3 before the game industry’s biggest trade show even opens. The special marks the kick off to the “2009 Video Game Awards” which will air LIVE in December from Los Angeles. In addition, GameTrailers.com will provide wall-to-wall, 24-hour coverage including high-definition gameplay videos, interviews and live, commercial-free streams of the five major press conferences from Xbox, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo. “Every day of the year Spike is the #1 place guys go for gaming info across our hit brands like GameTrailers TV, “The Video Game Awards,” GameTrailers.com and video game launch specials,” said Kevin Kay, president, Spike TV. “No other network comes close to our reach or impact and our plans for E3 2009 prove why Spike is the undisputed leader in the space.” The E3 invasion begins on Thursday May 28 at 11:00 PM ET/PT, when Spike TV premieres “GameTrailers TV Presents: The 2009 VGAs-E3 First Look Special” from the Los Angeles Convention Center, the site of E3 2009. Hosts Geoff Keighley and actress Rose McGowan (TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE VIDEOGAME) are joined by actress Tricia Helfer, GameTrailers.com’s Amanda MacKay and Daniel Kayser, rabid video game fans, special celebrity guests and big-name game developers for world premieres of more than 15 of the most anticipated E3 games.

Titles set to world premiere new content include: BioWare’s epic sci-fi role playing game MASS EFFECT 2; the worldwide debut of RATCHET & CLANK: A CRACK IN TIME; the playable Joker in BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM; new footage from BRUTAL LEGEND starring Jack Black; the first look at DJ HERO; the debut of JUST CAUSE 2; first-person fighting in NHL 10; the realistic racing of NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT; brand new characters revealed in MARVEL: ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 2; a blockbuster MADDEN NFL 10 announcement; an exclusive new look at UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES; a preview of the E3 trailer for DANTE’S INFERNO; the first gameplay from the action-racer SPLIT/SECOND; the dark heroic fantasy of BioWare’s DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS; the premiere of new level from LOST PLANET 2; the first-ever footage of ALIENS VS.

Last year the site garnered an industry-leading 58 million views of E3-related content. At GameTrailers, viewers can watch E3 the way they want to, on-demand, with 24-hours of continuous HD coverage including developer walkthroughs, gameplay videos, interviews, live streams of the five major press conferences and a special episode of the roundtable talk show “The Bonus Round.” “E3 is the biggest week of the year for GameTrailers.com and this year we are going to offer the best coverage of E3 by combining on-air and online resources to deliver a one-stop shop for gamers,” said Jon Slusser, senior vice president of digital and video games, Spike, and executive producer, GTTV. On Thursday, June 4th, Spike TV gives E3 a send-off with a special wrap-up episode of “Game Trailers TV With Geoff Keighley” at 12:30 AM ET/PT. Shot on location during E3, GTTV grills the top executives from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to get the real story on the future of each gaming console. In addition, viewers will see world premieres not shown at E3, including FIFA 2010 from EA Sports. What you guys are looking/hyped for? My list of hype/expectations/speculations Trico footage and release date. HR release date and some good footage to steal competition. ME2 substantial footage(latest GI has scoop on it, shephard returning with considerable amount of game, asari and krogan planet reveal, and new threat which is anti-ctiadel, no texture popin, no elevators etc.). AvP feels too good to miss in crowd Racthet footage makes me wonder again what sony will show besides what it has revealed. Alwanwake,Splintercell, peter's Halo project should steal the 360 show. Wii should not make fun of itself again. And Sony should show some unannounced projects to steal the show. (gow3 footage will either piss gamers or floor gamers). Rockstar wont be there, actually i was interested in maxpayne3 and LAnoire footage. Capcom secret game could be onimusha or strider, though DR2 wont be there due to swineflu ,for same reasons SE is also taking precautions, i hope FF footages will be there in some form. |

A new Halo? That would be amazing. My boyfriend would flip out, he's obsessed with it. I heard they weren't going to make any more of it, at least for now, so maybe it has to do with Halo Wars, or at least something Halo-y?

Last scene was good, but man they are going for same typical heavily scripted scenes, old engine with bad lightmaps. Getting old, not an extra 100 mile as hyped by GI. I wonder if they can steal E3 this time like they did with MW1. |

What about the possibility of Half Life 3 instead of the episodes.
It's been ages since the 2nd game.

The 2nd game isn't finished yet, that will be with Episode 3. A hypothetical HL3 will take several years to be finished and released, i'm not even sure Valve is thinking in a HL3 for now.

Valve said there won't be a HL3. Episode 3 is suppose to wrap up the game.

I'm definitely looking forward to see more of brutal legend, and hopefully Ubisoft will have some new trailer for beyond good and evil 2. Also would be nice to see a continuation of the Half life series from Valve. Maybe show us the portal gun in episode 3 please??? Bayonetta also looks intriguing to me, and I'm looking forward to see more of it.
Also would be nice to see a previously unannounced game from Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo.

I'm hoping for some Deus Ex 3, or Alan Wake news.
I think I heard somewhere that Deus Ex 3 wasn't going to be at E3, though...

According to the Wiki Deus Ex 3 is slated for release on PC and X360. Good. I abandoned the annoying high maintenance PC platform years ago and am now strictly a console & handheld gamer. At least Joystiq has some upbeat speculation on Alan Wake: Quote:

You guys will love this, again game with losta adventure elements and more
http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/8...009_52809.html Pics(NSFW) http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/8...59/imgs_1.html I hope they aren't bullshots, i have high expectations from this game. RE Wii teaser, on same page there is link to Deadspace Wii which turned me off http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14328...=7du3seaon09hi Silenthill SD trailer http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14325...d=2kftu3euatxc New Hands on http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/987/987412p1.html "Probing everything from how easily you make friends to whether you've ever role-played during sex, even these early questions have a radical effect on Silent Hill's opening few sequences. State that you're fond of a drink and the game replaces the town's diner with a bar. We also noted our answers affected whether an early store location sold electrical goods or clothing – each permutation featuring unique puzzles – and if our first character encounter occurred with a cop or a waitress. Even conversations take on a different tone – from perfectly pleasant to outwardly aggressive - and answer phone messages switch from inquisitive to thoroughly menacing. It all goes a long way to ensuring your experience is relentlessly, refreshingly, unpredictable and you're never at ease with your surroundings". Well character models are tight, thats what matters most, i liked Origins, hope they pull it off more better this time. Last edited by nomadsoul; 05-28-2009 at 05:07 PM. |

The article gives more insight into how the game can immerse you. I think the Wii controller interface and A.I. profiling system are the strongest features here. I love that you can do a total 360 turn by just panning the controller in your hand off screen, but "moving" the torch with your arm (instead of merely your thumb) is quite immersive in itself.
