Wow the insiders and the gaming "news press" both failed miserably this E3 with rumors, this might be their biggest fuck up yet with the widest margin.

5/46 is pretty dang bad (really it's 4.7/46)

Man I know credibility has been falling but this is insanity.

On second hand, I hope they controlled these fake "leaks" so they can identify and boot the attention seeking fuckers that always leak this stuff and ruin the surprises. So some good may come of it.

They would have had to do that a few years ago, not likely they learned anything at this point.

Some of these ""gaming journalists" aren't even on gaming focused sites, one of them even attacked Neogaf as a whole by going after me and EviLore EviLore
 
Remind me to ignore all rumors next year.

I mean at least it wasn't a complete wipeout. I'm surprised they even got 5, although I guess some of them like Battletoads was already obvious.

Also to be honest I'm being nice because they were parroting Dino Crisis and other rumors as well that would have added another 1 spots, making it 5/56.
