The first game was a surprise hit when it was released. It's using the strategy game Plants vs. Zombies but in a shooting game. It's very silly and campy.

The original PvZ is a great example of a winning casual game that never really needed a sequel.
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:02:20 PM
This game takes place in Zomburbia -- a fictional new world where the zombies basically have won
Sarah Tew 6/15/2015 5:02:22 PM
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:02:33 PM
So now the plants have to go in and fight them.

I tried Garden Warfare, and it was the exact opposite of the easy to play vibe of the original. Way too confusing.
Sarah Tew 6/15/2015 5:02:48 PM
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:03:22 PM
It's very cartoonish, but people seemed to really like it last time. It's coming out in Spring 2016
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:03:30 PM
PsZ the first kinda-sorta family game
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:03:44 PM
Now we're hearing about Ford's cars, which means they're probably about to announce
a new Forza game
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:04:01 PM
Yup, Forza Motorsport 6.
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:04:06 PM
Forza 6?? I feel like we already have 8 Forza games on Xbox One
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:04:15 PM
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:04:23 PM
Car descending from the ceiling. Quick, someone ask Tim Stevens what kind of car it is!
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:04:40 PM
They're lowering a Ford racing car into the center of the hall. Because,
why not?
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:04:57 PM
Now Henry Ford III is on stage
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:05:09 PM
"Partnering with Forza allows us to bring the Ford GT to everyone," he says.
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:05:17 PM
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:05:23 PM
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:05:34 PM
Always keep a car in the ceiling (good lesson)
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:05:34 PM
I think these games need an Uber mode, where someone else drives you around and you just sit there.
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:06:00 PM
Use surge pricing as a freemium micro-transaction model.
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:06:22 PM
Car being lifted back up again as trailer plays. There's a car in the ceiling.
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:06:30 PM
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:06:36 PM
Now we're seeing a trailer video. I once asked why the game industry has such an obsession with visually sophisticated car games. Obviously some people love car games, sure. But there's more to it, they say. The amount of computing power needed to show light reflecting off paint in just the right way, to get the rain and snow and all that, is really hard
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:06:47 PM
Xbox lanyard just flashed white for this game
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:06:55 PM
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:07:07 PM
Making a believable car is apparently really hard. Anyway, Forza launches Sept. 16
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:07:25 PM
Now we have a new game from Bandai Namco. (I imagine it's not Pac-Man)
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:07:54 PM
Ominous cello music again--people love their sad cellos.
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:07:56 PM
I'd call this the "for the fans" segment of our presentation.
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:08:06 PM
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:08:11 PM
dark and foreboding castles, mist
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:08:12 PM
Oh, and a woman singing wordless notes--also popular.
Jeff Bakalar 6/15/2015 5:08:21 PM
This looks like Dark Souls 3
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:09:07 PM
I'm always impressed by how game trailers are getting so similar to movie trailers. Except thankfully they don't have "in a world...."
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:09:19 PM
Eldritch games are so in right now
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:09:21 PM
Anyway, it's Dark Souls 3, which is coming Early 2016
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:09:26 PM
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:09:29 PM
Now, instead of a car, a giant demon is going to come down from the ceiling. That's why I'm sitting near an exit
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:09:32 PM
Now another video for Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division
