According to a GAMER.tm and their special "insider source", sometime next week, Microsoft will be holding a huge mystery event where both Bungie and Rare will reveal two super new, super secret projects. Though, the special insider source couldn't confirm what either the Bungie or Rare projects will be, which sort of puts an injection of "bullcrap" into this rumor. Coincidentally, next Thursday is Halo 3's anniversary, so take that for whatever it's worth. Very interesting stuff indeed ...Make your way to the break to read GAMER.tm's insider source reveal seeing that their website is currently in a dead state. Just try not getting your hopes up yet.

"Bungie is to announce its much talked about new game next week, an industry insider has revealed.
Speaking to GAMER.tm, an industry insider has confirmed that Microsoft is due to hold an event in Europe next week, where Bungie is due to take the wraps off its next game – the first title the studio has developed since splitting from Microsoft.
Unfortunately, our source – who obtained this information directly from Microsoft – was unable to confirm what that game will be. As such, it's unknown whether the new title will be Halo 4, or indeed whether it will be related to the Halo universe in any way, shape or form.
Our source also revealed that Rare may be set to announce a new game as well.
With Viva Pinata: TIP having just been released and Banjo Nuts 'n' Bolts shaping up very nicely, the British studio seems to be rediscovering some of the amazing form it showed on the SNES and N64. So its next project should be highly anticipated.
Unfortunately, our source wasn't able to shed any light on what this project will be, but we should find out next week.
According to our source, a few other announcements are due to be made at this mysterious event, so expect plenty of fireworks when things kick off."

I'd almost feel like it was more BS if they did give the game names... But either way it's hard to believe this given the proximity to that other show rumor.
Guess we'll see.

Does this fall in line with the media blitz rumor? Obviously that one wasn't true about G4, but two rumors saying basucally the same thing (big announcements next week) at least give it some credibility.

all that means is one rumor is based on the other. MS pulled a no comment, G4 definitely isn't involved..... we may hear something from bungie - they've been talking up the second title update, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that come out next week, but other than that, I suspect this is a rumor built on a false rumor.

In what way shape or form is there any wonder, whatsoever, that Bungie will be making an announcement within the next 10 days.
Its been quite obvious for the last month there will be announcements from Bungie.
Pull head out of sand.

Rare better make us a real platformer with their next game, not this bullshit vehicle stuff like in Banjo 3.

I hope Rare returns to the glory days of the SNES and N64. Donkey Kong Country... whew that was one hot ground-breaking game back then. Perfect Dark took Golden Eye to a new level. I hope they go back to the good old days.
