Gamespy have posted an interview with David Hufford about the Xbox online initiative that will be revealed at E3. Here is some of the Q&A:

GameSpy: Will Live use any components of The Zone or will it be a part of The Zone?

David Hufford: It is not modeled after The Zone. We are obviously broadband and we know that gamers want an easy access experience and an "always on" fast action gameplay experience. We're taking a lot of what we learned on The Zone about how to build communities, how to nurture them, letting the community rule itself -- that sort of thing. We're taking a lot of that knowledge and we've applied them to everything we're building with this service. The PC and the console are such different experiences and the people that play on those devices expect different things, so we're trying to make the Xbox Live service console-like; it's got to be simple and we know that gamers in the living room just won't tolerate the hassles that they do on the PC.

GameSpy: Do you think that Xbox Live is going to open the door for the massively multiplayer market; are there going to be any game of this nature and do you plan on showing anything like that at E3?

David Hufford: Well, we'll announce some games at E3. We know that the service side is super important -- you've got to support it with kick ass games. So at E3 we'll "show a little leg" and unveil some new titles.
