Most of the company is
leaving for E3 tomorrow. Really looking forward to a fun show. Will
finally get to see the Gamecube and Xbox, though I'm not expecting much
from the Xbox and still hold on to my prediction from a year ago (in
this spot) that it will be the number three console behind the PS2 and
Gamecube.
Looking forward to seeing a long list of PC games, like
Warcraft 3, Raven's 3D games (consistently very good, one of the
underrated developers in the industry), Return to Castle Wolfenstein
(especially since Apogee was involved with the first one, nearly 10
years ago), Dungeon Siege (lame generic name, but I think this will be a
killer game), Unreal 2, Anachronox, and there are always cool surprises,
too.
I'm hoping for a good reaction for our DNF and Max Payne videos,
plus Max will have backroom demos going on and those are always fun to
sit in on to see the press' reaction. Also, for Max, it'll be a great
way to get a reading on what people think of this nearly finished game
while there's still a little of bit of time for some tweaking.
The DNF and Max videos will be available on the Internet May 17th, the
first day of the E3 show, so for those fans not at the show, we didn't want
to leave you out of the fun. Also, CNN requested and received a copy of
both videos, so they might appear (in part) on TV, too. (CNN usually has
decent coverage of E3.)
