Microsoft responds to rumored E3 line up: not even close to the real deal

It’s refreshing to hear something from Aaron Greenberg that doesn’t involve any lashing out against Sony. Putting aside the mudslinging for today, the Microsoft Xbox product manager responds to the rumored line up they supposedly have for their E3 press conference, saying that the “leak” was nothing close to their actual line up.

It’s refreshing to hear something from Aaron Greenberg that doesn’t involve any lashing out against Sony. Putting aside the mudslinging for today, the Microsoft Xbox product manager responds to the rumored line-up they supposedly have for their E3 press conference. Speaking to Eurogamer, Greenberg explains:

I can confirm that this post is completely uninformed and does not even come close to matching our news for E3. You can’t believe everything you read, but it is fun to see people trying to guess what will be shown at the show and we are excited to share our real news with everyone on June 1st.

It strikes me weird that he’d use “completely uninformed.” That presupposes that the list is completely bunked, wouldn’t it? Meaning no Alan Wake at the very least? Aww, please, no… I’ll give it though: the whole “MGS4+Oxide big finale” thing is a bit way off base, but the rest of the line up seems plausible. Halo ODST? Splinter Cell: Conviction? Even the upcoming GTA4 DLC?

Well, if Greenberg says the list is not close to what the have in store, that leaves two directions of departure from here. Either their press con will be way more overwhelming than what’s already on that rumored list. Orrr. it can go the other way, with Microsoft presenting an underwhelming lineup. Let’s hope for the former.

E3 isn’t all that far away now, folks. Remember the schedule! Microsoft’s press con happens on June 1, 9:00 a.m. PST.

• Rumored Microsoft E3 ’09 lineup leaked: includes big MGS4 finale?
• The big three in E3: Sony, MS, Ninty press-con schedule finalized
