    Sometimes you just have got to know what the worst possible situation is.  Here is is for MS.  While I can't complete the list by myself, I feel like these are some key things, all of which are confirmed.  obviously we know we'll see some thigns so its not worth mentioning, but here are some of the more key things. I'm not listing rumors, even if they feel strong, like the Xbox 360 Motion Camera. 

    1).  Halo 3: ODST will show real live gameplay
    ----->  proof: According to sessler's latest soapbox, he will be doing a live demo with Bungie where they'll just be showing straight up live gameplay, presumably with an interview during the same time  http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/tag/172/Sesslers_Soapbox.html

    2). Lionhead will reveal their next game
    ---> proof: keep in mind that I mean reveal, not necessarily show it off.  http://www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/rumor-control/909119209/26857161/lionhead-showing-new-ip-at-e3.html
    there's also a video on that site where Peter M straight up says he'll show it off at E3.

    3).  Recently acquired BigPark will reveal their next game. 
    Proof: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/07/bigpark-ceo-xbox-360-exclusive-will-broaden-audience-be-playab/

    4).  Forza 3
    ----> do I really need proof?  They sort of announced it at that european event essentially.

    5). Rare will unveil at least one new game
    ---> proof:  http://www.rareware.com/extras/scribes/15may09/index.html

    So that's pretty much the concrete.  I'd consider the motion camera to be as well, but there's no true proof for that.  Considering the rumors about the wand last year, even though I do feel it'll happen, I'm hesitant to say it's definately going to happen.

    Sounds about right, and Microsoft said that they would reveal some new stuff about the Zune HD.

    Nah, I think Rare will have something there. Microsoft said that they had 4 projects in the works and were trying to streamline them to get them out faster.

    I remember reading somewhere a while back that Rare was working on a new Perfect Dark for the 360. I hope that's true.

    I actually think that BioWare is saving most of their info for the EA presser:

    From Twitter:

    masseffect2 @thekidnixon I would watch the EA E3press event for the best BioWare and games in general *PLUG shill PLUG* coverage. - Evil Chris

    Now granted, that is also probably towing the company line, but if you want some ME2 news, make sure to watch the EA press conference.

    I'm kind of serious though, Major Nelson went to their studios a few months ago and it's been forever since it was announced.

    Who will care though?

    Yeah and the last batch of South Park video games have been GREAT!

    I also think we should be paying attention to third party announcements, Microsoft has always put an emphasis on third party support.

    The only reason I'm not holding my breathe over PD2 is that it isn't like Microsoft doesn't have an overabundance of shooters to work with. I never got the feeling that Rare was really into PDZ, mostly doing it to be the first fall tentpole shooter for Microsoft Games Studios. With ODST (which, granted, won't be MSGS), they don't really need that, and I'm expecting GoW3 next year, so...

    Anyway, lots of explanation of how Fluid works. Bank on it.

    Yeah all of them will show.


    I can imagine microsoft having someone from Infinity Ward and 2K Marin to show off Modern Warfare 2 and Bioshock 2, with exclusive DLC for both of them. I expect to see Capcom to show Lost Planet 2 at the show. I also have the feeling that kojima will show off Metal Gear Solid 4 : something or other and call it as a 360 exclusive, followed by him returning at the end of the show a trailer of MGS 5 and "Metal Gear Solid 5 will be multi-platform and come out day and date with the Playstation 3 version".

    Rare will announce that the publishing rights that Midway was holding onto were bought by Microsoft and they will finally unveil Killer Instinct 3.  I will rejoice greatly.

    Also, they said AT LEAST one game.  That doesn't mean ONLY one game.

    At the MS conference, though, they probably won't announce Killer Instinct 3.  They'll probably announce Battletoads...and there will be EXTREME rejoicing...with giant feet kicking people in the face and such.  = D

    It was just a joke, as indicated by the lol at the end. I honestly dont know what Rare will do. Im split between them being pretty much silent like the last year or two, or having a giorgasmic blowout with 4 old properties getting new entries and 2 new IPs

    guys, you know.  I do think MS's going to rape at this E3.  It just feels that way.
    I never once have really thought this about an E3.  But for some reason, I guess the silence and knowledge that there's going to be at least 5 games announced already (lionhead,  2 rare, bigpark, forza 3) is getting to me.

    I don't buy anything on XBLA but I would absolutely buy a South Park game.  I hope that's coming.


    And if Rare busted out a god damned BATTLETOADS game I would be so pumped.  I really think there are legs in the brawler if you do some interesting stuff outside the basic gameplay.  The Warriors was one of my favorite games on the last generation of consoles.  Bring on Battletoads.
