Too Human
http://files.xboxic.com/xbox-360/too-human/baldurc3.jpg
-Wants Too Human to “compete with Hollywood in production values”
-Dyack says UE3 engine tweaked to the point that it’s almost unrecognizable — TH has 4xaa, [which UE3 doesn’t do]– but won’t elaborate further.
-There WILL be a playable demo out.
-Multiplayer heavily integrated into the singleplayer.
-No one knows what Too Human really is…people will be shocked when they see it.
-Seamless jump in and out of 2-4 player co-op.
-Massive story-line across 3 games, but each game is self-contained. Reminds people to remember that SK is known for their story telling and just because it hasn’t been shown for TH, expect nothing less. Theme of the 1st game is “Discovery” - second game is “Revenge” - third is “Enlightenment.”
-Release date is set but he can’t talk about it.
-Diablo-like drops system for armor and weapons (rare chance at epic loot etc.), powers and skill-trees to customize baldur (i.e. ranged or melee, etc.).

Culdcept AGA
NAMCO BANDAI STACKS THE DECK WITH CULDCEPT™ SAGA
Cult-Hit Trading Card and Board Game Fuse to Create a Unique and Addictive Experience
SANTA CLARA, Calif., – Leading video games developer and publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that Culdcept™ SAGA will be released this Summer for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and feature online competitive gameplay via Xbox LiveŽ. The latest entry to the popular card battle series, Culdcept SAGA combines the thrilling luck and strategy of a board game with the depth of a trading card game to create a unique twist on traditional turn-based play. An original storyline developed by one of Japan’s premiere sci-fi writers adds RPG-style elements that offer an enriching experience any player can enjoy.
Culdcept SAGA follows the journey of a princess and unlikely hero trying to bring peace back to their beleaguered country and free the land from the evil tyranny of their vicious adversaries. Summoning beasts of great power and skill, these adventurers will attempt to control strategic locations on the battlefield until all areas are freed from their enemies’ influence.
“Namco Bandai is proud to bring such a unique concept to the Xbox Live community.” said Makoto Iwai, Executive Vice President and COO of NAMCO BANDAI Games. “It’s the perfect blend of classic board games and modern competitive trading cards in one beautiful package!”
In Culdcept SAGA, individuals known as Cepters move around a game board by the roll of the dice, using magical cards to call upon creatures and cast spells to occupy each area they encounter. Using alluring cards designed by Japan’s top illustrators, players can customize different decks to assist in their struggle for territorial dominance. As they maneuver their way around the board and land on occupied properties, opponents can opt to pay a fee for their brief stay or attack the guarding creature to inhabit the zone. Players can fortify their decks and develop strategies in single player mode, then apply those tactics against up to 3 friends on Xbox Live or on a single console. Gamers can further modify the game with their own unique style when they alter their characters’ appearances using parts won during matches, providing a distinctive experience for every personality.

Shane Kim Interview
While Microsoft wasn't making any grand announcements a la Sony and their Home service or focusing their keynote on cultivating the gamer tastes of Peter Moore's wife a la Nintendo and the Miyamoto family, they did have a presence at last week's Game Developer Conference. That presence centered on Mass Effect and Microsoft's RPG Panel (a gathering which included BioWare's Dr. Ray Muzkya, Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, and Mistwalker's Hironobu Sakaguchi)....

More awesome news!
I was very ecstatic listening to the Shane Kim Interview, especially with it being said by him that not only are they trying to snag BioWare (One of best Devs. out their) and that Halo 3 will most probably be dated for september.
