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 itself may be revealed as early as next week.

--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 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 minute.

The official story: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors and speculation." --Microsoft rep.

Bogus or not bogus?: Although it comes from an untested source, the leak is a little too specific to be totally bogus. The world will see exactly how much is bogus in just 20 days.

Cant wait for e3! Lets hope that the MGS4 rumor is true this time.. I cant take another MGS Touch esque announcement..

Whether MGS4 comes to the 360 or not, konami has something planned apparently.

There's a few things I want to see.
1. Wii Zelda, even a teaser trailer, just give us something.

2.More S/G gameplay footage from Nintendo

3. Bioshock 2 gameplay

4. GoW3 gameplay

5. Beyond Good and Evil 2 gameplay

I probably have more, but those are my big 5.

I have a strong feeling GOW3 is going to be extremely underwhelming.

i hope mgs4 comes to the xbox and the couple of hundred people who for whatever reason bought the ps3 commit ritual suicide.

I remember reading last e3 when FFXIII was announced for the XB360 that some sony fanboy committed suicide..

If it gets ported to the 360 it's going to be like 14 disks.

Somehow I doubt this.

Slurpee

the 14 discs thing is a joke, and kind of another way of saying it's never going to happen.

mgs4 is 50 gigs with extensive data compression. it takes up an entire double-layer blu-ray.

a double-sided double-layer dvd-rom holds like 17 gigs.

fitting the entire game (let far and alone the extra content associated with mgs re-releases) on a single dvd would be superhuman.

it's not just that the game looks better than most 360 titles, either, it's also fucking huge. the cutscenes alone are longer than the entirety of some other games.

GearBoxClock

It could never be ported. NEVER. Unless 360 gets Blu-Ray. Which it won't.

TequilaClock

Can't wait to see if this is true so Sony fans go apeshit once again attempting to make another whiny petition.

And MGS4 actually had to be toned down for the PS3 according to Kojima, he was very disappointed about it.

It could have been 2 discs long, without any space left on either disc.
