What we heard: With the retirement of the infamous "Surfer Girl" last May, game news addicts have been searching for another leak-happy industry insider. They may have found one in Game Fork, the nom de tweet of someone claiming to be a well-placed "game journo." The person also appears to be British, since he claims to have "no links to Sony or SCEE"--Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, based in London--and follows Queen's English spelling rules.

Beginning last week, Game Fork has been twittering with a vengeance about a single subject: Microsoft's upcoming press event at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo. "MS is about to stun E3 with their lineup," crowed the shadowy figure, who claims to have visited Microsoft's offices on May 5.

According to the truncated, 140-character-limited posts, Microsoft will use its E3 press gathering, which starts at 10:30 a.m. PDT on June 1, to unveil the following:



--The all-but-confirmed motion-sensing camera controller for the Xbox 360, titled "Xbox Fluid."

--Metal Gear Solid 4 + Oxide, the long-rumored Xbox 360 port of the best-selling PlayStation 3 stealth actioner and GameSpot's 2008 Game of the Year. The announcement will be the finale of the presentation, apparently, although the game may the subject of Kojima Productions' May 18 mystery announcement.

--A top-secret Konami exclusive for the Xbox 360. "NOBODY outside of Kon[ami] has been told what this is," claims Game Fork. (Emphasis in the original.)



--The second Xbox 360-exclusive downloadable episode for Grand Theft Auto IV, subtitled "Blood and a Four Leaf Clover." The title may be a reference to the GTAIV mission Three Leaf Clover,where protagonist Niko Bellic helps Irish mobster Packie McReary and his brothers pull off a bank robbery straight out of the film Heat. It's apparently due "this Christmas."

--A new project from Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios (Fable II), code-named "Richter," previously rumored to be revealed at E3.

--The official unveiling of the long-known-about Forza Motorsport 3, which will apparently be playable on the show floor.



--After an extended period out of sight, both APB and Alan Wake will make appearances. Game Fork describes the former as a "GTA Killer" and the latter as "somewhere 'tween The Shining and Misery. VERY Stephen King. ... Graphically stunning, massively open, incredibly engaging...and ***t-pant scary." (Emphasis in the original.)

--The elusive Splinter Cell: Conviction will also be on hand in preparation for its release later this year

--Lost Planet 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and BioShock 2 will all be shown off, as will Halo 3: ODST, which was yanked from Microsoft's E3 2008 briefing at the last minut

Back to the old forums lol...

Forza 3 team anyone?

I feel more flames to come

separate your user bars by spaces BLT!

remember WERE NOT A RACING CLAN!

Wouldn't metal gear 4 need to fix on like 6 dvds though?

nope, 1 or 2, I guess they use compression. Which is what you cant use on PS3.
I found an article on it.
Its cool

Depends... MGS4 had a shit load of stuff on it... I think 3 disks at the minimum if I knew the size of the game... But it wouldn't be one disk unless they did some MAJOR compression which could hurt some of the quality of the game... Even games like Oblivion GOTY Edition were 1 disk on PS3 and 2 for 360... It would just depend... And I don't care if MGS4 is for the 360 or not since a lot of your already said your jokes about the game and I'm not a fan of it anyway... It's like the news I read about saying that EA might be doing a port of Left 4 Dead for the PS3

I wouldnt get MGS4 for 360 cause I hated it, but it is funny to think of the fanboys going apeshit over it.

Forza was the worst racing game I've ever played... I thought it would be cool but I got bored so fast on it... Gran Turismo rapes the hell out of it and the racing games from codemaster like Dirt and Grid also... Hell, Gran Turismo 4 could do 1080i on the PS2 and it was long and fun as hell... Then I go from that to trying that Forza 2 thing and got bored as hell after an hour

forza 3 is gonna be on ever 2 discs
100 tracks and like over 2000 cars
+ motorcycles

I thought other racing games were cool, I prefer the games with realistic damage. That's something Gran turismo has always lacked.
I just cant get into a racing simulator and run into shit and have it not show any damage.

skanky will bust a nut on the wall
and kick himself in the ass for buying a ps3 metal gear solid one.

If you're talking about the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue then it's damage isn't coming until the full game is released... Hence the name prologue too... And Gran Turismo 4 was ahead of its time when you talk about physics and G4 talked about it too... Also I don't care about Burnout car damage but it is a great game if you like unrealistic ones...

I heard somewhere that the GT people don't believe in damage to the car's or something.
I was never a fan of the GT series.
Racing game's are not my thing so to speak, though I enjoyed Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4.

I liked GT
