Here's a few of the 'rumors' for people out of the loop.




Also Adam Boyes just retweeted this.

What does it mean?!

I know Gerstmann is/was at the 'Judges Week' this week in LA so I guess this is a reaction from that, bet they've seen some good shit.

I hope you packed some salt for your E3 hype train journey.

Ah Judges week. Where studios get to throw an absurd amount of meaningless "awards" onto their cover art.

I bet project beast was a lie...hope not but it won't surprise me.

I'd be curious to know which are fake but Dew Pope won't share that info with us.
 
Hmmm .. what exactly is judges week?

Do companies pitch E3 reveals to a panel of judges and they decide if it should be showcased or not?

The Last of Us 2? ... 6!

I think it's just showing off the games to journalists early so they're not scrambling around during the aftermath of the Press Conferences trying to report on everything at once.

Wow I've never heard of this before lol.

So if this occurs then how is everyone so shocked every E3 about what is showcased? Or are they just playing shocked ...

Judges Week is where journalists play games that are companies think could be the game of the show.

Oh ok, so you guys only see the playable games at the show. But the secret reveals are still kept secret?
 
So basically most rumored titles are nonsense.

Thanks for the heads up Keighley. Hype back to 1, hopping off the hype trains, E3 pre-order canceled.

I think he is referring to stuff like this:



which obviously is fake.

That one is actually easy to prove to be fake. Sony has already confirmed Freedom Wars to be playable at E3 and its not on the list. Not to mention Watch Dogs would have already released by then.
 
If Project Beast was a high-quality hoax.....

I don't even want to think about it. Unless of course, it was a hoax but we're getting Demon's Souls II anyways :D

Jesus, this happens every year. Leaks, hype, Fallout 4 and TLG whispers. It's going to be great I'm sure but I'm pretty sure that list of 2,590 AAA titles Dualshockers "rumored" is going to end up being horseshit.
 
E3 is built on real and fake news. The ying and the yang. To take the thrilling rush of a game announcement, you must also take the bitter disappointment from the realisation that a game you hyped to the moon is in fact fake.

I felt like the lime flavor profile was totally overpowering. It crushed my palate to the point that I could hardly taste the Doritos.
