Dude

If we collate all the info from all the sources we might consider good its still messy

Is Nintendo deliberately holding back and being vague?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Any reason why Rodgers' word is being treated as the word of god here?

She doesn't play quarterback for the Packers.

 

[Instro]

Lol well so much for Polaris then. Not surprised, still could be more powerful than the PS4 though.

 

[udivision]

This feeling is different than WUST... we're getting taken back down to earth faster and more often.

 

[Malus]

Probably below PS4 now

I wouldn't call that "good."

I mean I'd be okay with it, but most people would call it subpar.

I'm happy that the gimmick remains a surprise though, if Emily's comments hold true.

 

[geordiemp]

Being high end has nothing to do with it. I'd be more worried about yields and that's if nintendo goes with it.

common sense man, the stuff in here was fantasy, It was always going to be rubbish.

14 nm and polaris if and when it first comes will be high end for consoles (if consoles do this) and be 500 + bucks imo if this year, maybe 400+ next year..

 

[RAWi]

We are back to zero, and know almost nothing...

At least the surprises will still be there :v (good or bad).

Ductape an amiibo over a Gamecube over a Wii over a Wii U.

 

[ffdgh]

So basically no gamepad.

Best news so far. Atlease I won't have to worry about an expensive replacement if the need arises hopefully.

 

[Graphics Horse]

To paraphrase 10k, she actually has sources, while 10k is just a guy on twitter.

I still don't get why people are acting like this is some difficult feat, but I'm not going to argue again

Nintendo is being Nintendo and people on the net are being people on the net.

 

[MaybeBurger]

more powerful is one thing; but will they be able to get developers on board?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

sdjfh the huge ass list in the OP

These fake insiders can't control themselves.

 

[DrROBschiz]

The only ones that were shut down were the T1 Polaris one and the gamepad. The T4 "better than ps4" hasn't been rejected

This is important to note and falls in line with how he framed his info

Just weird that Emily wouldnt address the entirety of the post in detail then

 

[MuchoMalo]

From Emily since doesn't have an account

lol. Well, it was a long shot and didn't describe a new concept anyway.

So, does this thread get locked? Is 10k in trouble?

EDIT: Oh it was just those ones but still, this obviously cuts down on the credibility. Oh well. Like I've told you, it doesn't change much if it's Polaris or not.

I guess the safe bet is XBone<NX<<PS4

 

[Nanashrew]

The gimmick is made up? Interesting. Now I'm really curious about things.

Power level good is that my guess just means parity.

 

[ShadowFox08]

So how many Wii's are we duct taping now?

NX is Wii U Kaioken X 10

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Any reason why Rodgers' word is being treated as the word of god here?

It is the word of god..

As found in the book of Lanaryu chapter 2 verses 3-5.

AND I QUOTE !!!

Here is what multiple sources close to Nintendo are telling me about 10k's hardware rumors: The gimmick is made up. GPU is wrong. Power level is wrong." "The specs on NX are good, but a lot of the information being shared in this thread is incorrect.

3: I was told that NX has good specs, 4: but the info in this thread on the GPU and power level is just not correct. 5: Sorry to burst everyone's hype.

Less like deliberately holding back and more just not saying a goddamn thing.

 

[MK_768]

Would suspect this thread sees a lock soon with this recent news.

I dont think anyone is really surprised.

 

[ozfunghi]

Someone ask Emily to ask her sources just how much mega flaps the GPU has.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Any reason why Rodgers' word is being treated as the word of god here?

She's actually gotten things right along with Trev. They get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Well they cant possibly be telling no one

Unless they intend to do the entire launch themselves and have everyone jump on board after

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No, he just gets the tag "IdeaMan's little brother".

Biggest cluster in all of this is arch only tells you something but not everything about power. There are a shit ton of GPUs out there that share the same arch.

Nvidia makes the 730 for HTPCs. Doesn't mean it is the same as the 790. Doesn't mean it doesn't conform to the arch either.

Nothing in 10k or Emily's posts clarify this fact either.

 

[richman555]

Gamecube.

I am hoping they name it Gamecube 2.

 

[Plinko]

Still think LCGeek's numbers are all we should view as valid.

 

[Sandfox]

Those other companies aren't going to break NDAs to tell us anything.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

So how many Wii's are we duct taping now?

The game industry should move to a new unit for measuring computing power: GDTs, or "Gamecubes Duct Taped"

 

[Mory Dunz]

I still don't get why people are acting like this is some difficult feat, but I'm not going to argue again

a difficult feat, o just a I-won't-even-be-surprised-if-it's-weaker-than-PS4-since-it's-Nintendo?

 

[georly]

Still hoping the gimmick (or one of them) is 'some games bought on one system also work on the other.' And i'm not talking cross play, i'm talking minimum vs high spec, if they were both PCs - for the same game.

That's honestly good enough for me.

Other cool social/network/ecosystem hooks would be nice, too.

Basically, I want all the gimmicks to be back-end, rear-facing stuff. Not something you can describe in a picture of the console hardware.

Wellp, we'll see. Hoping we get something between 2 weeks and 2 months or so.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Those other companies aren't going to break NDAs to tell us anything.

And we are back to the root of why these threads exist

Fishing for outlaws in the wild west of gaming

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

This thread has reminded me about the reason why I don't get hyped over rumors anymore.

 

[reelbigtink]

Still think LCGeek's numbers are all we should view as valid.

Yeah, still greater than PS4 is good. And I'm not completely off of the 10k train.

 

[Angry Chair]

Well, this blows. Time to drown my sorrows.

 

[NateDrake]

Still think LCGeek's numbers are all we should view as valid.

As far as hardware is concerned, yes.

The situation was bound to become a cluster of fuck sooner or later. The NDA has kept people silent for this long...why would substantial information suddenly leak out? No major leaks are going to happen...unless it happens just prior to E3 or the official unveiling date.

 

[javadoze]

NX speculation...

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Still think LCGeek's numbers are all we should view as valid.

Thats all I ever went off of..

bless up

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Yeah, still greater than PS4 is good. And I'm not completely off of the 10k train.

I never boarded it but to be fair, I did send a crash test dummy in my place.

 

[Malus]

So basically no gamepad and no polaris.

Well, no gamepad with remote play. We could still get a screen controller.

 

[Big Gulps Huh?]

Holy shit Matt Casamassina.

HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT KID ICARUS, YOU GUYS! HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!

Yes he did unfortunately for us, this video was taken at the pinnacle of my Nintendo fandom.

If Matt and Perrin Kaplan would show up on the E3 floor to discuss a new console, it would be a MEGATON!

Yes, with Matt and Perrin, where the "MEGATON" truly began.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Well, this blows. Time to drown my sorrows.

I feel like this is exactly why 10k broke down the rumors the way he did

It made sense and the majority of the high end info hasnt fallen apart from Emily's post

Maybe we all desperately wanted the t1 stuff to be real?

 

[BY2K]

I bet there's a mod looking at this thread right now all:

 

[bomblord1]

Is she specifically discrediting 10k's post (who never mentioned a specific GPU) or the posters in this thread who though they narrowed it down to a specific series and feature set based on the rumor?

 

[Vena]

Considering no one should have expected Polaris, the actual "dev source" may not be incorrect from 10k. A custom mesh of Polaris functionality and old GCN is well within the rumor bounds. Unless I missed a "its Polaris" leak somewhere, lol.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Some of us kept repeating what Miyamoto said in they want to make a cheaper console.

I'm excited that there's a different gimmick. How can you not love the mystery? Lol

 

[GamerJM]

Theory: Nintendo Ninjas themselves are purposefully behind these (untrue) leaks, including the controller one. They've been tasked with handing partially false info to people who then hand that false info to people on GAF/Reddit/Twitter/etc. They're doing this to distract us from any possible real leaks.

 

[ninjablade]

Honestly can't believe this thread has gotten this far, neogaf usually doesn't let BS rumors run wild.

10k's source said "polaris-like" GPU. See the OP.
