It's no secret that game companies have been showing off their as of yet unannounced titles to a select few before this June's E3. The only problem is that these lucky saps are sworn to secrecy until the information is made public.
Enter the fork.
Starting last week, someone identifying themselves only as "The Game fork" began twittering about one thing - Microsoft's E3 Press Conference. Identifying himself as a "well-placed game journalist" who claims to have visited the big M's offices earlier this month, the shadowy tweeter boldly claims that the company "is about to stun E3 with their lineup."
So what exactly does the fork "confirm?"
- The next downloadable GTA IV episode, titled "Blood and a four Leaf Clover" is due out by Christmas.
- Expect prominent showings from games like Bioshock 2, Lost Planet 2, Assassin's Creed 2, and Halo ODST.
- Expect to see the first information on "Project Richter" the new title from Lionhead studios. Also, something very secret from Konami is coming. The poster adds that no one outside of the company has been told further details.
- The heavily rumored motion camera (dubbed Xbox Fluid) and Forza 3 will be officially announced.- Apparently, we'll finally get some info on APB and Alan Wake. The poster describes the long in development Wake as "somewhere 'tween The Shining and Misery. VERY Stephen King. ... Graphically stunning, massively open, incredibly engaging...and ***t-pant scary."
- And perhaps the biggest "news" - Xbox owners will finally get a crack at Solid Snake. Reportedly, the 360 port of Metal Gear Solid 4 will play a major role in the presentation's finale - but word is that it may be the subject of Kojima Productions May 18 mystery announcement. Of course, none of this is confirmed, and Microsoft has issued a bit fat no comment, but we don't have long to wait, as the event takes place June 1 in LA.
