If this is remotely true, the internet’s going to fucking break. This post on VGChartz reckons New Xbox Experience will launch on September 25 alongside what sounds like a comedic amount of game announcements. Snip:
Microsoft will release a dozen new demos after the launch. There will be four new downloadable pieces of content a preview of the GTA DLC. A Mass Effect expansion. Portal and a free map pack for Halo 3.
Microsoft will unveil twelve new games never seen before that will be exclusive or first on the 360. Strangely enough the author only gives out code names for said games. Though they speculate that among them is Assassins Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, a new Conker title, a Rare shooter new franchise, and two new Halo titles.
Seriously, this is highly likely to be complete bollocks. Read it, though. If it’s a lie, it’s a great one. The codewords for the games are priceless.

I’m having a September launch. Got to be, innit. There’s no way they’d let it run into September, espcially after showing it off so openly at PAX.

I’m sure they said a few weeks ago it was November.

I think you’re right.
I’ll shut up, then.

I think it was rumoured to be November, but they’ve never actually given out a date. Not even a rough guesstimate.
September would make a lot of sense. They’d be able to get it preinstalled onto the new boxes in time for Christmas.

November rain.

So like I said, we only have ‘bloke down the pub said’ dates so far.
The rest of the story sounds a bit far fetched, tbh. I’m going to go with “made up”, while retaining my suspicion that we’ll get to see the new experience sooner rather than later.

Seems full of shit… but I’d love it to be true.

Any sane company ever named something “Hiroshima”? I guess not.

Someone needs to make a graph that tracks “industry announcements first mentioned on internet forums” against “turned out to be true or not”.
NeoGAF should do it.

Someone could probably make a graph of all the accurate information ever to come out of vgchartz at the same time.

The Assassins Creed 2 statement makes it bollocks.
Team is working on PoP:P and producer is working on I am alive. Plus they said they’d keep us waiting.
But Two Halo titles… Ergh. Neitehr are gonna be FPS’s anyway. And Rare said they’d work on soemthign new, so no Conker.
Blerk said:
The producer isn’t working on I Am Alive.
And anyone who thinks Ass Creed 2 isn’t already in development is only fooling themselves.
All that said, it’s still probably all bollocks.

Jade isn’t working on I am Alive!?
But the only reason I assume it’s not in development is becuase they wanted to manufacture some hype for it, by keeping it a while longer, and the PoP team is busy.
Maybe cocneptual stages, but that’s all I believe.
It will DEFINITELY get a sequel. It sold tremendously.

No, Jade isn’t working on I Am Alive. It was just internet-o-rumourwrong.

Yup, Ubisoft explicity said it was not going to be an anual franchise and not to expext any anoucements soon. Besides that, they can’t have anything steal Prince of Persia’s thunder.

Such is the power of VG247 that we have moved beyond the Megaton News era and into the next-gen realm of the Gigaton! I doff my cap to the mighty Garratt for achieving so much in the mere months that the site has been active.
