Support NeoGAF

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Sorry certain off-topic mods don't seem to understand the CBOAT.

I have talked to them though, no worries.

Mods, do you even CBoaT?

 

[Boogalogist]

Man, that was hard to read.

But thanks for the translations!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

A mod once banned cboat by accident thinking it was a drunk thread. :lol

Mods should have an internal memo about our prophet CBOAT.

 

[gamergirly]

GAF servers will be pooched tomorrow. Better to get all of the bomb drop discussion out of the way beforehand.

Now I don't feel so bad about missing the Xbone conference due to work.

Not sure about that. There are many that won't see this thread until 100 topics later....

[Ashes]

Mash (X) to keep thread unlocked.

Snake! SnaaaaaaaaAAAKE!!!

ha ha..

 

[Uno Venova]

I guess I shouldn't be, but will be surprised if gold is as valueless as it has been for a while and has all the same nonsensical locks on apps free everywhere else. Thought that might be the thing they actually fix.

...Just what the hell kind of DRM scheme is coming that is actually worse than what's been revealed so far?

 

[Pandemic]

Computer, initiate translate software; library 104216truthfactpl.dll



In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have gotten the translation software with Professor Layton and C-3PO on the cover.

Perfect, thanks for the translation.

I wonder if the ''1 billion dollars'' was used towards paying publishers to only talk about the Xbox One version of their games.

 

[as1m]

Getting a Xbox day one but not wishing Microsoft any success this upcoming generation.

But by getting it day 1 you are contributing to its success.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Who let them over this side?

Odd, usually the cage door is locked. Anyone feed EatChildren lately?

 

[kittens]

lol MS actually paying real dollar monies just so publishers don't confirm a PS4 version until later (which will get leaked hours after anyway) is the saddest thing I've heard so far. They're so desperate it's like watching a train wreck.

Paying for timed exclusives is nothing new, but it sucks extra hard in these cases cause the Xbox One sucks extra hard.

What's the point in cboat typing like a drunk so that his posts aren't picked up when someone else just makes threads about his revelations using perfectly-typed English? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

He's trying to mask his normal writing style, whatever that is.

Translated CBOAT still isn't his native writing style and cannot be traced to him.

 

[Thoraxes]

The prophet has returned.

Can't wait for Mirror's Edge only with kinect 2.0 where you are the parkour and the meltdowns after people's souls get crushed.

Also for Sony to fuck up their DRM.

 

[chrono01]

Wow, this is some distressing information, despite only being interested in the Wii U/PS4. This E3 will be interesting, for sure.

Thanks for the post, CBOAT.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Bahahahahaha, I can see that. I wonder wh-



DAMMIT BISH NO

Might have been someone else but I remember that thread being my first experience with CBOAT.

Edit: Yeah. Then it was the other way around. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Why would you do that?]

bish(?) once banned CBOAT

Weird mods don't know given he is probably the single most valuable poster in the last year.

Edit: Beaten.

No, Bish knew who he was and got him unbanned.

 

[Zukuu]

NeoGAF mods trying to hide the TRUTHFACTS

CALL KOTAKU!

 

[Anticitizen One]

What if Cboat is Don Matrick?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Does that mean that online play will be free for PS4?

 

[cluderi]

Tonight I will drink to CBOAT and his buttock gods.

Your work is appreciated (even if I have to read it twice)

 

[Teknoman]

The 360 has f2p games, why would them continuing to require gold be news to people?

Now there is a valid point. Happy Wars is f2p like that right?

 

[Li Kao]

I would have felt bad to not thank you here, o based buttocks. The risks you take for us... bravo.

 

[Replicant]

Am I imagining this thread being repeatedly locked and unlocked?

Did MS momentarily bribe GAF but the offer wasn't good enough?

 

[LuuKyK]

...Just what the hell kind of DRM scheme is coming that is actually worse than what's been revealed so far?

I am not sure I want to know honestly. Fuck this shit. Seriously. This is disgusting.

 

[NullPointer]

DRM plans are actually worse than what they've stated.

I'm having a hard time fathoming this.

I originally thought Gold would be required to use the console but the family plan text in the latest released PR seems to contradict that.

So, how could it be worse? No rentals is a separate point, and we already know pubs can just decline the ability to trade or gift. So...?

 

[Acorn]

Does that mean that online play will be free for PS4?

He says it's unconfirmed but that is what he had been told.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Does that mean that online play will be free for PS4?

Others have confirmed it, yes it's free.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

When someone else translates it, they are using their own wording and sentence structure and style of English. It's clear that someone is hunting for their leak inside MS and people are scared if they are outed as the leak, they will be fired.

Writing style.

You can hire a specialist to trace it back to the person behind it, hence the encryption.

 

[cLOUDo]

oh man this thread

 

[Jake Tower]

...Just what the hell kind of DRM scheme is coming that is actually worse than what's been revealed so far?

I have suggested a way around the game selling/lending limits is to make a new account for each game, and sell/trade the account along with the game.

Worse DRM would be the mandatory Kinect spy cam taking pics/video/biometrics of you and tying it to the account for ID purposes so you can't trade accounts.

Eliminates any possibility of matching post styles since the person obviously has a normal GAF account as well. It will be less blown up outside of GAF as well without a more coherent source.

 

[makingmusic476]

I fucking love cboat.

Just deciphering the OP has been fun for me.

"firm like myb utocks"
"but lesa Activbliz whcih makes mye haed fulll of weird#!"
"my word, my balls"

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

What if Cboat is Don Matrick?

Or the double agent, Phil Harrison

 

[Card Boy]

I'm surprised MS thinks they can get away charging for XBL again especially with the whole DRM situation and PS4 being the same online (with free online).

 

[Kipe]

So Microsoft really doesn't have anything tomorrow, but multiplatform games. :lol

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Guys, I have confirmed the identity of CBOAT.

 

[NullPointer]

Sony: If you provide multiplayer without a fee, and unlimited offline play I'll buy 3 PSN+ subs out of principle alone.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Does that mean we still aren't sure about Sony's stance on used games and DRM?

 

[aznxchunky]

This makes me wonder, If Xbone shills come and try and to rebuttle, would that reconfirm CBOAT?

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Others have confirmed it, yes it's free.

Link? I must have missed this.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Activision doesn't need that since they're going to get paid either way every November.

Exactly. Whenever someone suggested that Activision was behind it, I got the feeling that they were full of it simply because Activision never even bothered to come up with online passes or any other bullshit like that.

Anyway, holy shit. <3 CBOAT.

 

[Manmademan]

Does that mean that online play will be free for PS4?

seems that way, given the flood of f2p titles coming

 

[Averon]

The fact that it was MS, NOT 3rd parties, that was pushing this DRM path to hell we're on makes MS look much, much worse in my eyes. It also means I have new hope Sony won't follow suit since it was not pressure from 3rd parties that started this renewed push for DRM

If you insert a used disc in your Xbox One, it locks for 30 days

and then self-destructs

[Syphon Filter]

wow i am still in shock. how the hell you need to PAY to play a FREE TO PLAY game? lmao hilarious.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Link? I must have missed this.

In the older Sony thread, confirmed by Kagari and BLR if I remember correctly.
