Wrap it up guys. It's over. :lol

 

[2+2=5]

Lol, this is the least credible rumor i have ever heard.

 

[Finalizer]

Hey Krilekk, are you also generyx?

It's how he knows the legitimacy of his source yo.

 

[HamsterPackage]

Junior post hammered. Told myself i wouldn't post because of said Liquor....B/S of course the 4 will be there that's just silly.....now where's my Megaman....

 

[luffeN]

Because all the units will be in store that day *cough*.

 

[dead monkey uk]

Its been confirmed the PS4 will be playable at the Eurogamer Expo on September 26. So why would Sony not show it at a much bigger European event the month before.

 

[Xater]

LOL bullshit.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This rumor is complete and utter bullshit guys.


I'm not saying this as a guess...

He hath spoken.

 

[spats]

PS4 is motherfucking doomed. Sony will go bankrupt. Welcome the Microsoft console monopoly.

 

[:Motorbass]

That worked really well for Nintendo last year

 

[DemonNite]

heh

 

[benny_a]

I don't think you need to be an insider to be certain that the PS4 will be playable at GamesCom.

It was playable at E3 to the press. More than 2 months later others will also be able to.

 

[B.O.O.M]

heh

aaaand that's a wrap I think

Btw man I hope we get to see some epic gif work next week with gamescom upon us

 

[Hoo-doo]

After having playable consoles at E3 and various other events? Nah.

 

[Canis lupus]

So apparently (two sources so far, one from an employee of Germany's largest electronics retailer) Sony has informed retailers that PS4 won't be playable at GC, it won't even be shown outside the business center. X1 on the other hand is fully playable with 100 demostations. What does this mean? PS4 delay incoming?

Says: "Seems about right, no PS4 at GC, internal source" and he later clarifies that they were informed via telephone conference about the situation.

Author's profile says that he owns these systems:

PC / Master System 2 (PAL) / 2 x Dreamcast (PAL + NTSC) / XBOX360 Gears Of War 3 LTD. (PAL) / Shitstation 3 (PAL) / Panasonic TX-P50V10E Full-HD Plasma / Canton/Yamaha 7:1 Digital Surround-System / Panasonic DB60 Blu-ray-Player

The fuck?

Dont worry, they have enough Vitas for everyone...

You think he would have imported a US shitstation.

 

[glaurung]

The fuck?

Maybe that's a high-tech toilet interface? Could be the same one he uses to post on NeoGAF.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Also, "employee of Germany's largest electronics retailer" ?

Well fuck, I was employee of Europe's biggest electronics retailer for years. I don't know shit.
Do we even know his position?

lol

My word

 

[aly]

The fuck?

Sounds really gross and unhygienic.

Yeah I don't believe this rumor.

 

[Satchel]

Hopefully they're Saturning it and we can get one the next day?

 

[Nikodemos]

Guy's probably angry his phat went boom while trying to play TLoU. And he's too cheapskate to buy a SuperSlim. Therefore, he's taking it out on Sony.

 

[Sidewinder]

heh

We need some hype GIFs please and where's my shiny new Colony Wars??

 

[Sean*O]

I heard they're quitting and conceding the gaming business to Microsoft and Nintendo.. for reals.

 

[TwisTz]

They probably saw Titanfall.

 

[Corto]

Glad Famousmortimer already debunked this before it snowballed, but even if he didn't this was absolutely absurd to begin with.

 

[Bonk]

That post is written by a guy that identifies himself as "generyx (spam@fuckyou.de)" and wonders why he can't find further information about his rumor on the internet. That must be some reliable first-class source he has.

Generyx owns a Video Games Store in Germany and is a member of a forum I'm in.

He is also a rabid XBox fanboy so he might be trolling.

The email address just means he does not want spam. Does not mean a thing.

On my phone so can't check if somebody already explained that.

 

[Wickerbasket]

I wish he hadn't said anything; this could have been a thread for a good laugh.

 

[Nerix]

How can that be posted as a serious rumour? Just look at the author (generyx (spam@fuckyou.de)...

 

[reptilescorpio]

lol no

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

The PlayStation 4 won't be at Gamescom. The ShitStation 4 will be.

 

[polychron]

Well, it's already been confirmed it's gonna be playable at Eurogamer Expo a month from now, so wouldn't read much into this in as far as delays go to be honest.

 

[Busty]

*sigh*

Remember back in the day when rabid fanboy rumours were no less ludicrous but were at least partially believable on some level?

Now? I don't know man. I don't know.

Generyx owns a Video Games Store in Germany and is a member of a forum I'm in.

Das GamenCuben Shack in the mothefucking house y'all.

 

[Finalizer]

aaaand that's a wrap I think

Is this another insider or something that I should be aware of?

Damnit, these forums need a "newbie's guide to insiders, leakers, and employees" or something, heh.

I wish he hadn't said anything; this could have been a thread for a good laugh.

Oh, it will be. It's basically a guaranteed ban bet at this point. Odds ain't lookin' in his favor...

 

[DemonNite]

I will be flying out there so I won't have much spare time in the run up sadly

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Because all the units will be in store that day *cough*.

At your local Saturn.

 

[Krilekk]

I don't think you need to be an insider to be certain that the PS4 will be playable at GamesCom.

Press != general public. You can have the press play unfinished versions because they know stuff breaks and freezes. Totally different story for your potential customers, they just see it doesn't work as expected and won't buy. PS3 wasn't shown at GC either, they just had a glass display with the console in it and some trailers.

 

[KiRiON]

pffff

It has already been demoed to the public at ComicCon.

The PlayStation 4 won't be at Gamescom. The ShitStation 4 will be.

DiarrheaBucket 4.

 

[Kaako]

Not enough confirmations I say. Let's get Rushy, GopherD and the rest of the crew in here as well.

 

[RulkezX]

Seems legit , cancelling my PS4 pre order now.


I hope these rumours continue to climb the ridiculousness scale as we get closer to November

 

[ElTorro]

Generyx owns a Video Games Store in Germany and is a member of a forum I'm in.

And he got a press release where Sony literally says "We won't be at Gamescom because we screwed up logistics." which is, according to that post, more or less the translation of what he claims to have heard from his boss?

Right, because that's how press releases are usually formulated.

 

[benny_a]

Remember Wii U?

No. Does anyone?

Fair enough.

 

[glaurung]

Do we still have no idea whatsoever on the PS4's launch window?

Xbox One's beginning of November seems all but confirmed by now...

 

[Busty]

He is 100 % legit. He might be kidding though but his second statement doesn't leave much room for that. I can see one problem Sony might have to deal with that would keep them away from the showfloor. If they haven't passed all the required certifications for the European Union their PS4s might be stuck at customs. And due to the holiday season they might have no chance to get the paperwork in and through in time.

Keep it up son. You're doing a bang up job.

 

[Replicant]

And my grandmother is the Queen of England!

 

[Nursezero]

Now that's strange. Wasn't the PS4 playable at E3 ?

PS4 was playable to the public at San Diego Comic-Con as well.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I'm confused. Is he an Video Game Store owner or an employee of germanys largest electronic retailer? Because that's not the same.

 

[kenji_sama]

I will be flying out there so I won't have much spare time in the run up sadly

Please give me some hints
