Well they have to moneyhat Konami too if they want MGR2.
If its Vanguish 2, then its good for me since i hated the first game. lol
If its Bayo 3 then it doesnt make sense, but it will be a big fuck you to Nintendo if it is.
It will be a new IP.

Kamiya hates horror. He would not do a horror game off his own back.
I think she was getting too much attention and people were figuring out who she/he was.....they are out of the industry regardless

He's just using 'Kamiyatown' as a funny name for Platinum, not saying it's going to be a Kamiya game.

And on that day, the Lord spoke.
Sega owns Vanquish and Konami owns MGR, MS would have to also money hat the IP owners as Nintendo did for Bayo 2.

Hope if true then it means late October for EU and not just US
If it is a late October launch will it be for US and EU too?

That's what I don't get.
I thought MS should have stuck to their guns from day one and looked at the long term view rather than purely launch.
I think once people got their hands on the original One, word of mouth combined with good games (plus some marketing muscle) would have done the rest.
Now they're just fucked.

I see.
I'm glad CBOAT writes how he writes. Must be a nightmare to even try and analyse who wrote like that.
The very next thing he says was that's what he had been hearing for the last 24 months but that is beginning to change and sales will decide what they do.

"wihsper of kienct optionsal (not inbox--() sku aerly next yr mar//aprl"
That is preceded by "everything I saw in the past 24 months was no chance of a Kinect-less SKU, but that has changed."

Yeah my first guess was vanquish 2.
Not terribly important in japan, but it makes no sense in the west where shooters are more popular.

The kinectless sku makes too much sense. MS needs to be within price parity with Sony and quick. I still don't much of a difference between kinect 2.0 and the previous one besides voice commands and controlling the UI. There not giving any reason to pay $100 more.

Next time encode the message with a cipher. Would be amusing watching us figure it out.

No sense in being as unclear as MSFT. At this point, we need straight talk and MSFT isn't giving it to us.
Well, the head of Xbox got run out of town. It's entirely possible that the people who are running things now think the old strategy was a mistake. Without a champion, things like kinect can become yesterday's news quickly.

Is there any chance the Platinum game might be a licensed title? That'd make it pretty clearly "for Japan" without necessarily being platform exclusive or super niche
Then again most any Japanese IP you could name has it's licensed tied up somewhere, but I don't think Bandai would object too strongly to a Dragonball/One Piece/Kamen Rider/Toriko/Ultraman/Naruto/Sazae-san/Heyheyhey Music Champ/Takeshi Kitano/Whatever game being an Xbone exclusive if MS gave them a sack full of yens

lol what? Atlus wouldn't dare make an exclusive for a system that everyone knows is dead in Japan. From is in a kinda similar position.
Any Japanese studios that team up with Microsoft would have to be ones that are big enough to appeal to western audiences (despite what CBOAT said) or small enough that they'd jump on any kind of deal.
I was just thinking how we hadn't heard from CBOAT in a while, and well -- this happened.
Good info. Although, I wonder just how advantageous an Oct release really is. The 360 had a year head start on PS3 and we saw the damage that did. Will a month or less really equate to anything significant?

Bayonetta is owned by Sega...
It cost sony like $4B to turn the PS3 from a sinking ship into something respectable, and even then it really remains an unmitigated financial disaster for them.
Let's be honest-- Microsoft has bigger fish to fry than worry about some marginal home entertainment box for nerds. This is either going to be a massive, cohesive living room dominating monsterbox (they're already retreating from this vision) or they're not going to be willing to take that kind of hit.
If I'm looking at potential ROI on projects and I'm Steve Ballmer, I'm way more worried about Apple and Google than fighting a zombie electronics company that is subsisting by selling life insurance and that relic Nintendo.

I supposed, I just think it'll fun trying to figure out the fake rumor.
If I gamed on a PC, I'd say the same thing. No one wants their favourite franchise on a platform they don't own; much less a significantly inferior platform.

One thing I was wondering about, CBOAT is an MS insider, so how is he so sure of PS4's release window?

Wow. A storm is coming is an understatement CBOAT.
There's not a better definition for catch 22 than this whole gen launch. If MS decides to launch a kinect-less SKU next year (which, with the rumored pre-order ratio being 4:1, you bet this will end up happening), this will alienate the consumers who paid extra at launch vs those post-launch. Not to mention, this will just show consumers who bought at launch, that they really didn't need Kinect in the first place. It's just a bad look anyway you look at it. But if they don't do it, there's no way in hell they'll compete with Sony throughout the year!
And if the PS4 does launch late October, then... damn.

yes SEGA own both Bayonetta and Vanquish ips.
They (Microsoft) just need to throw money to fund game development and publishing the game to secure it on their system (like Nintendo with Bayo 2) they don't have to buy the ip.
One person very clearly has ties to Microsoft in some form. The other reports things other people tell him for a living. Pretty much a no brainer who to believe.

I don't doubt the October PS4 release, but there's no way in hell Microsoft won't launch soon after. They're not going to let Sony have free reign on Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin's Creed IV, and Watch Dogs - all of which hit late October or early November.

But will they?
Orth was probably just a reflection of the attitude of other MS higher ups, only he was dumb enough to go on Twitter with it.
I think about the rumors about inner turmoil within MS, about the "Suits vs engineers" thing, and I really hope that this is a sort of moment of triumph for those hypothetical engineers, who might finally be able to say "fuckin' told ya so!"
Thy based buttocks has spoken.
This shit is sugoi as fuck.
