E3 08: More from Activision's non-E3 press conference


Activision didn't mention E3 once during its press conference Tuesday night but the event certainly wouldn't have been held without all those journalists who just happened to be in Los Angeles attending the event. We mentioned a couple of things about the press conference already but here are a few more bits that might interest PC gamers:

Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War was one of several games show in trailer form at the event (no live demos unfortunately). One of the two trailers showed off co-op gameplay in the Pacific Theater of WWII which is a first for th Call of Duty series. Also, the company announced that Jack Bauer himself, actor Kiefer Sutherland, will voice a character in the game and his unmistakable gravel-like voice was heard in the co-op trailer.

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was also shown and is the latest open world action game for Marvel's web slinger. The visuals of Spider-Man engadging in mid-air combat against the Vulture were pretty impressive.

The new James Bond game based on the movie Quantum of Solace was also shown in demo form. As previously announced the game will also have movie elements from Daniel Craig's first Bond flick Casino Royale and we were treated to two gameplay sections in the trailers. One, from Casino Royale, showed Bond taking out armed bad guys in a hotel room and creating a lot of damage. The other was a never-before-seen section from Quantum of Solace which showed Bond fighting the bad guys in a sewer system.

While mention was made on the just completed Activision Blizzard merger no Blizzard or former Vivendi Games titles were shown at the event.
