GDC08: Microsoft's Keynote in pictures

It's one thing to read the news that positively poured forth from Microsoft's GDC08 keynote this year, but it's nothing without a few pictures to help flesh out the experience. It is with this in mind that Joystiq presents Microsoft's keynote in purely pictorial format, handily divvied into cohesive chunks for easier digestion (always chew your images, kids). Click the images in this post -- including the image of John Schappert's best Tony Soprano impression above -- for more. Enjoy.

Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable (also 2) look awesome.
Gears 2 well the teaser was weak.

haha, and to think that a couple of months ago I feared my Xbox wouldn't get near the action in 2008 as it did in 2007.

Although...it does feel strangely empty without Master Chief... :(

There is going to be a halo 4 you know, of course there is. They wouldn't drop the xbox's bestselling game that easily.

Yes. I would love to know what exactly is Peter Jackson doing with Bungie. What ever it is, we should know soon enough.

Remember the Killzone 2 trailer that was all CGI and instantly amassed a hurricane of hype and anticipation for the sequel to an average game? This is commonplace and will continue to be so.

I agree that the Gears2 trailer was extremely weak. It seemed almost like a mockery of the original. This trailer makes Epic seem so out of touch with their own creation.

Relax. It is just a teaser, not an ad. It is supposed to make you want to see more.

People need to start to realize wtf a teaser is.
Anyone here remember the Star Wars Ep3 teaser? It was just a black screen with the sound of Darth Vader's breathing and then the words Episode III: Revenge of the Sith faded into the screen. AND THAT WAS IT. And no one bitched and moaned about it.
It's called a teaser for a reason.

More like Gears of Bore 2, AMIRITE?

I'd play Gears of Boar.
And pay for Gears of Whore.

I already have money saved for Fable 2. Now all I need is an HDTV
