I didn't say it was fake. I said it's stupid to assume that gaming websites know something is real just because we haven't written about it.

So you don't think it's fake? It's a welcome change compared to other sites that you're extra sceptical and not writing a story on every stupid rumour, but doesn't this seem quite genuine as far as rumours go? Particularly in light of some of DemonNite's posts and others on here.
 
Here you go, best seat on the train for you. :D

I wanna be on it too please :)
 
If this is fake it is an incredibly impressive "fake"

Those images are obviously from some sort of game that nobody has seen before, that is for sure.

The only part that could really be disputed is the From Software, Sony Japan, PS4 exclusive part.

Which I don't care if it is true or not.

I have a PC and a PS4 so I'm covered.
 
Im on this hype train!
Cant wait for E3 now, hope we get too see this and TLG again.

Give me a seat on the hype train plz.

Yeah well write about the coming RPGs for E3. I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know about some. Seriously, I'll take a message in a bottle even.

Remember when "The Learning Channel" had shows other than Design Guys and Honeyboofucknboo? Yeah, people are getting dumber and the networks are just feeding them the stupid in a trough.
 
It could be huge exclusive ammunition for games that won't sell massively outside of Japan. Or come out for the Vita.

Nothing stops MS from looking for Japanese talent as well. Sony are not the only group that have money to throw around. E3 will be interesting to see for all involved. TGS probably more so to see if the Japanese gamble pays off.

I think this gen might find Japanese developers catering to Western audiences more because they know there is money in it. More money than catering to gamers in a region that is buying fewer and fewer consoles in general. The Souls series has basically proven it. This idea that Japanese developed games will only appeal to fans of Japanese games and will sell like crap outside of Japan might not be true in the future if we become their primary target audience.

MS will throw money around and lock down exclusives, I have no doubt. But I feel that overall they most likely do not have the same relationships with these Japanese devs that Sony has fostered for the past 20 years. And continued sluggish sales and more difficult development platform might make it a tougher sell on the MS side.

To be fair, NDAs are fairly commonplace in the industry these days. And consequently, we are damned near conditioned to think that no news is good news. Not disagreeing with your points, but that's the internet for you.

Agreed. More and more Japanese developers will be trying to get more of the western audience but outside of a few names, most won't have enough publisher backing to make a dent. Even bit names like Platinum, Grasshopper and From and not always sure-fire winners.

Sony have worked hard to foster good relations with many developers but they certainly are not the only ones doing so. More sluggish sales compared to Sony is one ting but people should never underestimate MS. They won't just throw their hands up and give it to Sony. They are not doing that badly.
 
Release date thoughts? Mid-late 2015? I'd lol if a big 2016 appeared at the end of the trailer, but anything other than 2015 would be surprising IMO.
 
This is stupid. I passed on this because it's a bunch of vague images from 4chan that may or may not be real. If we knew something about it, we would do our best to say so. We don't make a habit of hiding things from our readers.

Yikes, settle down there Mr. Schreier. The context of what I was saying was that it's notable that zero of the sites that you might expect to at least pass on the news that this was something that was being talked about, weren't saying anything, and that it was possible that some of them could be under NDA if in fact these screens were real, and maybe that's why we weren't hearing anything. Period. Full stop.

Nobody here was pissing on your, or anybody else's, integrity. In fact, when the talk surrounding the seemingly purposefully muted reaction by the gentlemen over at GB during yesterday's Unprofessional Friday came up, I chimed in with this:

"I've got a lot of respect for Klepek and GB in general doing their best to honor whatever embargo conditions they've agreed to [if that is what is going on here], even so much as to err on the side of not saying anything even if it's probably ok (e.g. saying something on a Bombcast before the embargo lifts even though it'll lift the day the broadcast is posted)."

Approximately zero people in this thread are calling you a shill or other nonesense for not reporting on anything yet; whether that reason is because you don't find it worth your time to report on, haven't yet finished vetting the story, or if your outlet is under some form of NDA. All are totally valid reasons. We were speculating why we hadn't heard anything from the majority of the major sites. Speculating. That's it. Calm down, mate.


Yep, people don't realize that integrity also means not posting anything that pops up online.

Pretty sure we do and nobody suggested otherwise, to my knowledge.
 
100 pages in one day, wow. Gaf was really hungry for something exciting. Makes me wonder what The Last Guardian re-reveal thread will be like. Will our hearts be able to take it?
