CBOAT has been good with games leakage, but not so much for hardware/system info. He's never leaked any of MS's 180, and most of the stuff he does leak is 1) unverifiable and 2) has been denied by MS. Such as the yield and SDK problems.

I'm glad he's around for game leakage, but I don't really trust any of his other "insider" info. For all we know CBOAT is probably working for a 1st party game dev at MS and has good info on games, not so much on the system itself.

How about this?

iirc PoP got cancelled. It had a really troubled dev history and had been in development for forever.

You are confusing this PoP with the one that feature a black guy. That one had several iterations and was cancelled. This one appears to be another PoP.

you know.. i just noticed something.

in Amazon, there is no COD bundle. which means the console is coming before COD is out.

so i guess Oct released is very possible. damn man.. how come i didn't think of this before lol

You know you can pre order a PS4 bundle on the Sony store that includes inFAMOUS: Second Son?

I just noticed it a few days ago. I wonder if there's gonna be some surprise anoucement about it beng a launch game at Gamescom.



here's the Sony store link: http://store.sony.com/c/S_PS4_Bundles/en/c/S_PS4_Bundles#

I knew it!
 
Toto, there is no way From is giving Miyazaki and whatever game he is working on to Sony. He could be making another IP that From would own and have it published by Scamco or something.

It will be a spiritual successor that From will own. Sony had to cave on their IP ownership stance to get an exclusive.

BUT!!! I would 30050660% rather see them give it up for From than some one like Insomniac, lol.

That´s a ridiculous thing to say. Insomniac is entitled to keep their IP. Even so more than From giving their history with Sony. I am glad that Insomniac is keeping its IP with MS and every other publishers.
 
Gamestop/Microsoft recently announced a special program where you can trade in your 360 versions of particular games, and get $50 credit towards the XB1 version. One of those games is Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Why would Microsoft ever create such a program if the XB1 was going to be out anywhere near the launch of Ghosts, on Nov 5th?

This program existing makes me think the earliest we're gonna see the XB1 is mid November.
Possibly.

Another possibility I thought of is that PS4 and Xbone are both going to be sold out at launch. That will leave a lot of gamers having to wait for restocks throughout the following weeks. Many of those gamers won't be willing to wait to get their COD on, and will settle for buying it for their current gen systems. The MS/Gamestop deal would give gamers incentive to get the 360 version and then trade-up when they're able to acquire an Xbone. Just thinking of additional scenarios.

i was talking about the release date of Ghost. its in Nov as far as i know. and since the game is coming AFTER the PS4 is released, then it make sense for Sony not including a COD bundle " since the game isn't out"

i mean i would have figured that out long time ago if i thought about it before.

Remember these are soft bundles...not made by Sony, but Amazon...your theory does still hold true, just wanted to point that out

I'm sure they don't, but I wouldn't say this is acceptable.

It's acceptable for them because at the end of the day, they don't care. Most of them are going to forget about this in a week anyway. In the grand scheme of things I don't think anyone here or there honestly cares about a guy who leaks information on the internet. Especially when they're are other more pressing things to focus on like school and family and all that stuff.

I've seen metaphors comparing Xbox One's DRM to rape here on NeoGAF.
I think it is just best not to collectively generalize a large community as there are some douches and idiots everywhere.

True, but they were banned for those remarks. GAF has strict moderation, I don't think it's fair to compare the communities of the two like that.

I totally agree though that you got idiots everywhere and generalization is not fair.

Damn Cboats typing skills have really took a dive over the last 8 years.
He probably had a close shave with infosec and decided to obfuscate his messages.



Be safe, you sweet crazy buttocks. Don't let the ninjas grab ya. Go underground for a bit after this one, since it's gonna blow up but good.

one of 2 things.

- you either busted my theory and i hate you for that lol
- there is an error on that website. what kind of a bundle when the game isn't out for like months ?

unless you pay for it now and get it later ?

Still don't get truthfact number 1. Why would MS not stream because of unfinished sdks yet have 100 consoles at Gamescom available to press and the public. You'd think it'd be easier to fake no performance issues in a conference than with hand on. Anyone got any ideas on this?
 
Its insane. The amount of shit peddling, denial and intellectual dishonesty I've seen churned is unreal. Most of the arguments or examples used to paint Cboat as inaccurate aren't even true. Eg, he said Sony would not have an online gaming paywall (which is simply not true) etc.

It's best not to go there. So many people there are just douches. They take things too seriously, and the fact that they try to discredit CBOAT... somehow when he's been more accurate than any of the Shills they take as fact... is just crazy.

Cheers I think I'll stay away from there then tbh!

I'm kinda curious as to how the developers/producers who have made deals with MS in regards to CoD,BF4,FIFA,TItanfall,Witcher 3 etc. feel about this whole situation.

I mean sure they get their pay check regardless but they must still be pissed at the way their "partner" is dealing with things as it doesn't portray them in a good light.

Delusional fools. Wonder what they think of the 2005 rumours he got 100% right, posted above. No way in hell you could have theorised or randomly predicted some of those.

As I've said many times, doubting Cboat at this point is tantamount to showing off a warrior or intellectually inept card.

Not surprised. We're talking about people who thought that a RAM upgrade was going to happen because MS was going to switch to the developer's kit motherboard or something. Also, the supposed source of Digital Foundry's infamous PS4 RAM allocation article (i.e. pure BS).

He was only wrong with PoP.

He said ME2 was going to be shown that day, and it did, in EA's conference.

I love how they say ME2 was wrong. Before then, it was a rumor and he basically confirmed it was a real thing. Before then I doubted the game existed. I didnt see ME2 coming out and he basically blew my mind.

I don't think anyone outside of NeoGaf really cares about Cboat. There's no incentive to.

Gaf vs reddit. Holy shit the console wars are fucking real, folks.

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of console kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from Ico to Halo to simple, psychotic rage.

I tried, I'm tired

I believe they said architecture in a whole.
And who wants to show a console thats been hit with 15 to 20% performance ?
It would be the nail.

Edit: maybe its not consoles running but PC again with a gtx680 ?

I think it's more they don't want to show the newest build that has more of the hooks implemented. They will have something around 100 kits running playable demos, so those are all probably running on an earlier version of the XDK.

Think it was backseat modding

Shame cause he was cool

To be honest, Reiko was bringing things that seemed to be from B3D. He said he had sources that spoke lies if I remember right. He even started that thread on a double APU for the console!

I have to go back to his posts, but yeah, he was a cool guy nonetheless.
 
Wasn't planning on getting an Xbone until next year when Halo 5 releases. If the Kinectless SKU is actually a thing and out by then....perfection.

The difference being that every single time I've seen DRM compared to rape, the user is almost immediately banned. GAF actually moderates the community, Reddit does a much worse job, since you can't be banned from the site.

Most media outlets probably look at every CBoaT comment as thoroughly as we do. They have to work on verifying with their own sources though because you would look like an idiot if you tried to source a leak from a CBoaT post. That's the beauty in the way he posts his leaks.
