CBOAT's latest update

I am scouring the thread like crazy but can't find a Cboat Demon's Souls 2 confirmation. That would be insane. Or do we have another leaker like him, who confirmed it?!

Guys, Demon's Souls 2 guys. Miyazaki's new game?! PLZ. If Cboat confirmed DeS2 I will cry the manliest tears.


That is just demonite teasing/trolling us

I wouldn't take that as confirmation even though it is super likely at this point

It's difficult to tell apart on my 15" MB, But I wonder how it could look on my 65" panni with motion added to it.

MB = Mac Book?
 
Seeing all this talk about the Xbox one being rushed and 180'd.

Does anyone else think that EA was stoked to put TitanFall on an always online console? I wonder how the reversal hit EA. I know MS probably put out a lot of cash but still. The games online only so I could see the benefits prior reversal. If I were EA I would be very pissed
 
MS has never been shy about strutting around numbers. The fact they haven't announced anything of the sort is certainly interesting. I would not be surprised if pre-orders were even 2 to 1 in the US, what it is it's likely much higher in PAL.
I know the drill very well. Microsoft's never shared official numbers of X360 consoles/games sold in Poland. Sony, to the contrary, has always been very public about them because they have a lot to show (probably one of the main reasons Poland is the only post-Soviet country to get PS4 at launch). We only know that it's enough for Sony to localize all their titles and not enough for Microsoft to fully localize theirs. Online data and second-hand market allow to estimate at least 4:1 in favour of PS3. Reading into official MS PR is actually quite easy if you know how to.
 

There you go:

HNNNNG. Oh man, Oh God, Oh man, Oh God, Oh man...From everyone's reaction, I take it that Demonite is a true prophet, alongside Our Glorious CBoat? HNNNNNG! Demon's Souls 2 HNNNNNG
 
Holy cow...

I just visited "misterxmedia"'s LJ for the first time. Just, wow. So many lemmings he has. Do people really thing he has insider information?

From his page
{quote] Welcome! You've reached a place where you can read what is going on behind closed doors and know the future of the game development industry.. Be informed on that topic. It is fun to read official news after. here we discuss things that will happen in 1-3 year scope in the future.
I don't mean to offend his commenter's, but it's quite mouth-dropping.

Virtual GPU's; 3-4 tflops; 20 CU's; NeoGAF owned by Sony. Who are these insiders?

This website is a riot. So entertaining. Sadly, I'm not sure what'll happen when everyone is wrong on their and Xbone flops.

Has Misterxmedia always been pro-Xbone? His "Welcome note" just talks about he has insider info and a look at what goes on behind the scenes, but it seems he's just pro-Xbox. Every negative about it turned into a positive. Bashing Sony non-stop.

What difference does it make though?

No one who wasn't willing to go online was going to buy the XBO before, no one who's not willing to go online now still won't buy TitanFall.

The decision might have increased the install base, but it didn't alter the number of potential TitanFall owners.

Demonite is a developer but I doubt he'd drop something like that out of the blue on us

I'm sure he was just teasing

Although Demon Souls 2 is likely
 
sorry if this has been mentioned in the past 40 pages or so, but in relation to the OP, could someone enlighten me what is CBOAT is shocked about?
I understood the rest,,,
thanks
 
Forza... Forza isn't even that good. I don't think I've heard anyone argue that Forza is a fantastic 10/10 system seller, until Microsoft announced it for their launch title. Now everyone is Forza everything. And has anyone ever played the original Killer Instinct? It was... Meh. Sure, it was fun, but it was severely outshone by other fighting games at the time. There's a reason it didn't become a cornerstone franchise for Rare.

Where did the Forza system seller stuff come from? Last I had read GT5 itself sold more than the Forza franchise combined I don't think it is a real big seller.
 
A million was worldwide and at Gamescom

We've heard it's significantly more presently with conservative estimates at 1.5m ww

And 2 mil likely

4 of those are mine... only 1 I intend to keep. I wonder how many are in the same boat. (I'm cancelling the other ones)

Reselling perhaps?

Straddling a fine line with that unprecedented production

There will be PS4 cancellations no doubt but it still is the best indicator at the moment and with the PS4 hype I seriously think they'll have no trouble turning the majority of pre-orders into purchases

Hell we all expect both to sell out at launch so who knows?

I just mean that the Xbox would have moved in a direction that EA favored. And if it wasn't reversed it might have gained traction. I still have a few friends that don't know much about the situation and were excited about the Xbox one prior to drm reversals and didn't mind it eitherway

I usually read posts just here and there in threads like this, and I'm happy I happened to read this one.

This misterx stuff is entertaining as all hell. What a sad sight.

Lol. This is great.

Fixed figures, from Polyphony's site... Source: http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/list.html


Title Units (K)*

Gran Turismo 10,850
Gran Turismo 2 9,370
Gran Turismo 3 A-spec 14,890
Gran Turismo Concept Series 1,560
Gran Turismo 4 &#8220;Prologue&#8221; 1,400

Gran Turismo 5 &#8220;Prologue&#8221; 5,350
Gran Turismo PSP 4,220
Gran Turismo 5 10,660

Total 70,020

I can't find a good, solid sales figure for the Forza series.
 
This is photoshop's bicubic automatic. Everything gets smeary. In motion it will look worse. It's also not a fair comparison because when downsampled, image quality benefits slightly from the downsample.

I'm trying to find a dif. between these two shots....all that I can really tell is that the explosion in the first shot looks slightly better.

Some people may not have bought it on principle or because of fear/distrust.
So decision may have upped people willing to go internet rai rai.
 
Dat system seller...

16m vs almost 68m. GT3 almost sold as many as the entire Forza series.

FYI, ******** is not a legitimate source. They make up their numbers more often than not. Hence why I can't even type their name without it being censored on here. I'm not sure if sourcing them in ban hammer material, but you might want to edit your post just to be on the safe side.
 
Welcome to the underpowered consoles age, just one console is worse than the other, but both will be outdated relatively soon, much sooner than the last gen. 8 years from today to PS5? I say Ha Ha. Maybe PS4 6 months later than X1, but definitively around the same date.

That's because in 2005 top 65nm-80nm PC GPUs didn't eat > 150W, now a 28nm 7970Ghz eats around 250W peak. However Sony and MS can't put today more than ~250W for the whole system (APU, RAM, HDD, Bluray, etc) in a little constrained box.

What are you talking about? It makes no sense to me.

There's a sligh "blur" effect to the upscaled image. Check out the soldier on the immediate left. Focus on comparing his fingers, and the gun itself and just dart your eyes from image to image. I think this image comparison actually does upscaling a service, as (to me anyways) it doesn't usually look that close.

I can understand that. Pics removed to be safe.

First thing I noticed was the background of the timer (4:29) at the top-middle of the screen. It looks way different (due to blur?) on the upscaled image.
