xbox360 design 1According to a forums post over on Wii60, a person claiming to be a “Floor Manager” for the show has revealed the following items as some of the key items that Microsoft will show for their Xbox 360 console:

  • New Crimson Skies game to be announced
  • Bungie working on new title/series not related to the Halo/Marathon Universe
  • Epic Games to show Gears of War 2 Trailer
  • Microsoft have bought the Star Wars Battlefront 3 rights. Trailer/Demo to be shown
  • Rare to show off Banjo Kazooie 3 (Banjo-Theerie?)
  • Rare to announce 2 new games
  • Rare to announce Kameo 2
  • Lionhead Studios show more of Fable 2
  • Microsoft to fund a new game based on Jason Bourne. It’ll be based on the books and not the film with Matt Damon
  • Team Ninja to show off Ninja Gaiden 2. Labeled 360 Exclusive
  • Apparently there’s news of a MGS Game for the 360. May or may not be the 4th Installment
  • Dead Rising 2 to be shown. May not be ready

Now it seems to me that at least some of these items have a ring of truth to them (i.e. the RARE games, Fable 2). However, there’s also some some highly questionable items (the Bourne game, MS acquiring a Star Wars title).

I’m keeping my B.S. detector set to high on this. Besides, what’s really the likelihood that Floor Manager at E3 would a) risk his/her job by revealing this information and b) know so much about the specific products to be promoted in a show that’s almost a month away?
