E3 09: Is Xbox.com ruining all of Microsoft's big reveals? photo

#E3 #Microsoft #Xbox 360

So, remember how Brad Nicholson just posted a story about how the mysterious Halo: Reach now has its own achievement page on Xbox.com?

Well, apparently it is not that just game. There are a ton of brand new achievement listings on the Web site that, unfortunately for Microsoft (but fortunately for bloggers), pretty much ruin, what I am sure will be, the big game reveals at Microsoft’s press conference in a couple hours.

Listings for Alan Wake, Forza 3, Shadow Complex, Joy Ride, and The Saboteur all now appear on the console’s official Web site. Interestingly enough, when searching for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, this screen popped up.*

What do you think? Big slip by someone at Microsoft? Or an interesting plan to get people talking before the company’s big E3 presentation?

*That last MGS4 one is totally a fake by our very own Adam Dork. Don’t freak out!

if halo reach is anything like wars count me out

gatorsax2010

You'd think Microsoft would know how to use the internet better.

Well, maybe not.

Qraze

i would love for the 360 owners to get and experience mgs4. its just one of those games i believe everyone should try regardless of console preferences.

Jon B

Oh dear god I now no longer need to watch the conference.

Especially if the 5-minute delay was so that Eminem could announce DJ-Hero. I will quite possibly turn the damn thing off if that's the case.

Forza 3 > GT:5

*puts away lighter fluid...

Mikular

Not cool, Chad, not cool. You scared the living sh-t out of me with that picture, man!

Professor Pew

I'd like a Halo Reach-around please.

Durga AI

WHAT?! You just don't joke about Metal Gear, it's a unwritten law, you went too far.

Havoc Fang

...Sniff.
Chad, you just made me cry.
Cry microwaves.

Forza 3 and Shadow Complex have been redirected back to your gamerpage as of 11:08 CST

Tubatic

If that's all theyv'e got to show us, that's lame.

Black Nexus

Wow, that metal gear joke was cold, even by my standards.

koehler83

For future reference, Patriots is plural.

Holyetheline

Hahahaha. Nice joke.

Mr Wrighty 987

Alan Wake is the new Duke Nukem Forever

Mushman

Ha, Chad, well played sir.

I read ALL of the article first(star on the end of the MGS sentence kinda gave it away) but nevertheless, nice joke. :)

welkstar

I hate you all.

Halo Reach works with the new motion controls...and remember...i told ya first.

Justice

Dammit Chad!

TOEmastro

you people know that you can rent a ps3 along with the game and not have to plunk down the $400+ for it together to own.

enough with the wanting a 10 disc MGS4 set

falinter

Announcements are for bums.

Everyone on earth should get an email about whats going on in the industry the second someone decides it.

Midgetsnowman

I'd love Mgs4 on the 360. I wouldn't actually buy it, since I'm not a fan of MGS. but the fanboy tears from the ps3 camp would be hilariously fun to watch,

Midgetsnowman

*ToeMastro: most rental places I know of that let you rent a ps3 generally ask for you to have a desposit of at least half the system's price just to be allowed to rent it. sure, you get it back when you return it..but meh.

Chronic Logic

Do you guys really care if they leak information earlier than originally planned? I mean who cares?

Chad Concelmo

@Chronic Logic,
I don't care ... I'm just surprised Microsoft doesn't! It just seems odd that they would let this slip mere hours before they were going to make the announcement with all the fancy lights and smoke machines and stuff. :)
