This looks great!
Just watched the trailer and its looking to be one of the games of 2004, this time you can nick enemies weapons, speed up time instead of slowing it down and lots more.
I dunno if you've seen this trailer or not so here it is anyway :

While I do have to say, I'm really looking forward to Halo 2, Half-Life 2 Conker and a few others, with games like Zelda, Prime 2, Resident Evil 4 and Pikmin 2 on Nintendo's horizon, all absolute killer games, I can't help but favour my cube over any of the other systems when it comes to E3.
Even if the XBox will get me through the summer.

What?
You would rather wait 6 months than spend £30 on a quality game?

Black Arrow is coming out at the end of July, I'd rather wait for Halo 2/Half Life 2.
I agree with Alaistair on several points. Xbox has an outstanding line up, which, I hate to say, is better than the Gamecubes, perhaps excepting a pointy eared little sowrdsman. However, Nintendo revealed far more at E3 than Microsoft, which kinda means they had a 'better' one. Both consoles have a very good lookin future, but the Xbox has a particularly bright one.
Sony had a crap E3 minus the PSP. Just because Microsoft aren't going to jump into the hand held market doesn't mean that there E3 was poor. Jade Empire, BC, Rainbow Six: Black Arrow, Halo 2, Knights of the old Republic 2 etc were all there, yet looking at PS2 games on show, well...
Granted Zelda looked immense (as did/does Resident Evil 4) but outside of that Nintendo were once again looking at the hand held market to bring them out on top. I have an SP and enjoy playing it now and again but it doesn't have the draw of a next generation console and will be played when I'm not interested in booting up all the shiznits and sitting down for long periods to play games, at the end of the day though it remains a hand held console used for very casual gaming.
Everyone seems to be taken away with the PSP and DS, at the end of the day they are hand held consoles, a niche market which Sony are going to turn into a mass market, when they do you will see Microsoft there no doubt, aside from that though I thought console wise the Xbox had the most interesting line-up outside of the PC.

But they didn't. Everyone knew what to expect from Halo 2, as great as it looks, it's nothing new. Unless you count 'double weapons'. Which I don't.
If it was last year, XBox's line-up and games on show would have seemed great, but Sony and Nintendo's line-up's were too stong for a weak XBox booth. With Sony showing off their PSP and Nintendo with probably the best E3 booth ever, Microsoft needed to pull something big out to compete.

Indeed. I'll probably get it simply because everybody else will be on the new maps and modes.
It was a modified engine for Pandora Tomorrow, they basically ripped the engine and modified slightly with the main focus being online play which the original team did work on. This is why the single player is so drastically short, it was meant to be a LIVE title all along.
As for Black Arrow, it's not broken so I fail to see a need to fix it. Yes it looks EXACTLY the same as Rainbow Six 3 only with very very few extra weapons and full LIVE support (voice messaging etc) but it does have two excellent new online modes, one where you have to take control of 3 different areas and one where you have to steal something and work as a team to get back to the exit point. Like the producer said, in Rainbow Six 3 very little team work was used online which sort of goes against everything that Rainbow Six games are about. This however will change massively with these new online modes and from the Beta testers at the moment the infiltrate and escape mode is currently their favourite online section, even more so than Team Deathmatch.
I am personally awaiting Rainbow Six 4 on the PC but I am still highly looking forward to Black Arrow. If you are stupid enough to let the fact they aren't going to gut the engine and start a fresh get in the way of getting what will be the biggest LIVE title yet then that's your problem, everyone else will be playing it and after the massively enjoyable success that was Rainbow Six 3 it's either buy it or miss out on LIVE play for a good few months.

SC:PT was not made by the same people as the people who are working on the 3rd game, so the gap is not two years, it's since the first game was released, they handed PT over to another team as they wanted SC3 to be the best SC game yet and it's looking mighty fine so it's been around 3 years in development :)
