I thought Downpour was a very interesting, albeit flawed on execution, take on the Silent Hill franchise. Nothing will ever beat 2 though, but I got a immediate The Room vibe when I saw the stream.
For anyone wanting to know what the special surprise is, taken from GAF and all but confirmed by Keighley. Spoilers of course.
This takes place 4 years after the ending.
So the big surprise wasn't TLOU movie teaser, UC4 gameplay, or a freebie to take home. It was a deleted scene acted out. It was from AFTER the final scene in the game. In the scene, Ellie is in her room at Tommy's place, listening to her iPod/CD player etc. Joel enters the room and wants to talk to Ellie. He brings out a guitar and sings a song(Troy Baker played the guitar AND sang in the voice. Fucking amazing). Joel shares a joke that he tells Ester, a woman he's now dating from the camp, with Ellie. "What's the bad thing about eating a clock? It's time consuming." They laugh, Joel leaves the room, and Ellie strums a string. End scene, end journey...perhaps.
