Is this a rumoured thing, or just wishful thinking?

Hopes and dreams.

I think there are rumors for new Forza and Halo, though.

 

[phanphare]

You should see the main thread on it. People calling for legal action, lol.

$500 is steep and I'd probably pay it since I don't spend money on PC gaming anymore, but it's obviously a tough sell to the mass market.

I had to take a peek into that thread

you weren't kidding

holy shit

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Do they have a list with the people they are going to interview?

[Dineren]

I really hope that was a joke.

 

[Hjod]

Hahaha, no please. I can't..

I fucking love E3.

 

[Weetrick]

I really hope that was a joke.

These petitions are often just jokes. This one was definitely made for laughs and internet reposts.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I really hope that was a joke.

given some of the comments on it i think its safe to say it is

 

[Death Metalist]

I really hope that was a joke.

I don't want to know.

 

[Dineren]

That's what I figured, but you never know on the Internet.

 

[hiphoptherobot]

I just looked at that thread... Good God, E3 hasn't even officially started and Gaf has lost it's mind.

We demand an apology from CBS.

Watching the We Talk Over Microsoft video from last year, and I'm reminded how they had zero clue about HDR. Jeff unironically asks "That's what Half Life 2 had, right?" and everyone agrees.

I view GB more as entertainers than anything so stuff like this doesn't make me mad or anything but I just don't understand how your average forum poster is more well informed about gaming related info than games press. It's not just a GB thing either, it's like a consistent phenomenon.

GB thread is always my safe space during E3. It's scary out there.

Meh it was pretty new tv junk.. I never heard of it before last E3 either but I also don't care about 4k yet.

When tvs start using gsync get back to me.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Finally some true 4K, sick of this fake 4K bullshit

 

[border]

How awkward is that going to be?

"So, let's talk about this rumor that I started....."

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I hope this is a joke.

GB, the last bastion of sanity during E3.

 

[Meguro]

Yeah this Scorpio Price thread is pure insanity.
It's also highly entertaining.

The weird thing is on one of the podcasts recently they were struggling to pinpoint the recent timeline of Need for Speed games and I knew it better than them exclusively due to THEIR PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS of the series. Like the only place I heard people talk about those games. The only Need for Speed I've ever played is Hot Pursuit.

 

[Strax]

What are you saying, then? That he's lying?

I'm saying I wouldn't be shocked.
But I doubt it.

I can kinda understand with HDR. It's an odd concept, and multiple other things have been called HDR in the past. But man, they regularly make proclamations on the podcasts that are just false. Like you said, it doesn't make me mad I just find it weird.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That is a good thing in this case.

 

[strafer]

Emily is Away Too is a pretty fucking real.

Shit man.

I need to cry.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I can't help but think of Star Wars.

They're embracing the dark side of the Force.

I'm waiting for the takes from the only two journalists I can trust: Ben and Abby

It's E3 and no word on a new GoT episode for us throners. Shameful!

Googling during the show wouldn't make for good listening.

West coast just needs to add a corrections section like Beastcast.

You're telling me diehards are irrational??

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Early 90s Sega advertising incoming.

yup, I like it!

 

[Dangansona]

I get the whole "who cares about their marketing strategy you sheeple" thing, but honestly why would you leak the price less than 12 hours before the pitch where you get the official price and the context for whether that price could be justified or not? I don't even care about Xbox, its just kind of dumb imo.

 

[Atomski]

You're telling me diehards are irrational??

Are they made cause it was leaked or because of the price?

 

[EdReedFan20]

GAF Xbox diehards are losing their damn mind.

Then you have all those Twitter accounts with the Scorpio symbol in their names.

 

[Justinh]

I can't help but think of Star Wars.

They're embracing the dark side of the Force.

I was thinking something similar, lol.

They should get the guy who played the Emperor to reveal it and go all "Feel the full powaaaaahhhhh!"

Totes. But they often (Alex especially) say things they clearly don't know about, whether it's a release date or sales numbers or whatever else. Just... don't make shit up!

I've already made a bigger thing of this than I intended. I just notice it regularly. Still my favorite game podcasts and site, of course.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

lol Xbots are the worst, more like M$ amiright lolololo

 

[Curufinwe]

Funny cause Greenberg is the "you will see every game in 1080p" guy.

[Sleeping Lesson]

I often think of that Greenberg tweet when people claim checkerboard 4K is as good or nearly as good as native 4K.
