MS GDC08 Keynote Recorded, GoW2 Trailer, XNA CC Game Launcher Posted by XanTium | February 20 16:06 EST | News Category: Xbox360

In our previous news post I already posted all highlights and official press releases from Microsoft's GDC08 keynote and now you can download the entire keynote (audio) from majornelson's blog (mp3, 01:12:01, 32.9 MB). The new trailer for Gears of War 2 is now available on Xbox LIVE (only in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK and US for now). If it's not available in your country yet, you can watch it below in low res: Also added to Xbox LIVE (everywhere except Australia, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan) is the 'XNA Creators Club Game Launcher': [QUOTE] Content: XNA Creators Club Game Launcher Price: Free Dash Text: [ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)] *Xbox 360 HDD Required* Download the XNA Creators Club Game Launcher in order to play the special preview selection of game demos created by the community using XNA Game Studio. When your download is complete, go to the Games Library, select My Games, and navigate to the XNA Creators Club category along the top. From there, press Y to view, download, and play the available trial games for this limited period. Note: You will need this launcher to access the free community games which are now available [/QUOTE]

Trial games for a limited amount of time. Why...The developer should be able to choose if they want their game fully unlocked and free for life. I do not understand my Microsoft can possibly charge for them.

Good luck even trying to download them. WHen I open the XNA Game Launcher, it says I have no account and goes back to the dashboard.

i think you downloaded the wrong launcher

The games are terrible and you downloaded the wrong launcher. The launcher you downloaded is for playing your own created games (which you cannot do without a membership to XNA).

The car game is a complete rip-off of a game that has been on the internet free for years. Same exact concept, except this one has a car instead of whatever the other one had.

I hate these "teaser" trailers with all the pre-rendered crap (reminds me of Sony). Let's just see gameplay please.

this has nothing to do with graphics but only to get people hyped up plus they didnt show any pre rendered graphics off it was all red and black

I hope/bet that in GOW2 there will be a "chainsaw duo" where you battle like in the trailer, and the winner has the upside down chainsaw move against the loser for the ultimate victory!

Hey,

I agree. Why bother? Hype or no hype, it's still just crap.

Hey,

Duo or duel?

Maybe I'm wrong about this...

But I have a feeling MS got on EPIC's ass to push a sequel out by november, only because they know that consumers are not happy with the 360's hardware problems - which is bad for bussiness.

So MS is rushing out a sequel to one of the greatist games ever made in hopes it will keep the 360 sales soring. Kinda like when they rushed out a sequel to one of the greatist consoles ever made. (Xbox1: YAY! > 360: WTF?!)

I fear that GoW2 is gonna be a HUGE let down. Infact, I'd bank on it.
