I've been doing my best to keep those customers who aren't as informed about what's going on with the system. Some don't seem to care and only care about the games and what not, though some have shown surprise at what I've told them.

I think if anything happens to dampen sales, it will be after the console is out and selling with the possibility of people running into problems due to MS' policies.

Yes, this is a very good point. Word of mouth will spread and I'm sure we'll see some moms on the news.
 
So Activison seem to crazy about the DRM and MS is the one that brought it up?

This is crazy.

Activision not being down with policies driven by pure greed should have sent a much stronger message to microsoft.

Kotick would send his own grandma down the river for some pocket change.

ergo ... what Microsoft is attempting is beyond insanity.
 
Dunno. The fact that Sony has been quiet on the DRM topic to date pretty much makes me think they are gonna have an equal system or maybe something that's 90% as crappy. They would of spoken by now if they weren't going with a similar approach.

Or they want to drop it during the conference in some manner or afterwards when everyone we'll be listening the most.

Or it is bad. Either is possible.

An equal system is impossible though as PS4 doesn't have the online check system.
 
So CBOAT confirm Microsoft is paying pubs/devs to keep multiplatform versions of PS4 games a secret. These little assholes are really going to be playing hardball this year.

Keep informed, GAFers. Always make note of when they say exclusive or not, so we can be informed. Don't let their misinformation campaign catch on.

I am always tempted to start a twitter campaign for that lol

This, pretty much. It's a shit tactic for sure but they're certainly desperate.

I'm already tired of thinking about reading all the misinformed headlines and misinformed posts on these forums and so on lol

It's exhausting just imagining it.
 
You guys clearly aren't reading my posts. I know what cboat has contributed. Sighhhh

All supposed insiders need mod approval. CBOAT has it.

You have nothing to worry about him, except about the info he's given.
 
Well, the going rumor is that Sony is helping out with Versus. If Sony is involved in the development, it won't be multiplat. But we all know Square loves that multiplat cash, so who knows...

I kind of hope it's exclusive, if only because it looks like Microsoft is out for blood with third party exclusive agreements and Sony's gotta have something to counter it. FF has always been associated with PS since VII, so it certainly makes sense.

I"m also hoping Sony somehow got Kojima at their conference. No one has said anything about him being at MS.

Sony has been quiet about EVERYTHING that wasn't revealed at PS Meeting, including games. Don't read into it.

I honestly hope they get called out on it where possible, but this is going to be the most confusing E3 yet now because of this situation. It's going to be hard as hell trying to source the facts behind what's going where and when.

It's going to be a job alright... just gotta try to keep abreast of the situation as best as we can >_<
 
CBOAT is seriously doing us all a great favor here. I dont know who he is or who he works for but the guy/girls got guts to put themselves out there like that. Even with the jibberish speak.

This CBOAT info is kinda getting me exicted for some weird reason. This generation is now Sonys to lose.

Am I becoming a fanboy?

Its hard to not be pulled towards them when you read about the shit thats been going on at MS.
 
This, pretty much. It's a shit tactic for sure but they're certainly desperate.

As long as everything launches the same day it seems like a fruitless way to spend a lot of money. I mean, google news has headlines about the XBone DRM. I personally feel like that goes much further than a statement along the lines of "We are still evaluating platforms at this time."
 
Yes, this is a very good point. Word of mouth will spread and I'm sure we'll see some moms on the news.

It's what I could definitely see happening, especially with those parents buying it for their kids.

And this is conjecture on my part, but I'm kind of expecting that we'll have to advise customers that they need an internet connection to use the console. I hope we will at least as I've had several state they don't have or want to use it for online matters.
 
I"m also hoping Sony somehow got Kojima at their conference. No one has said anything about him being at MS.

Kojima's gone full free agent by this point. I could see him showing up at either conference, but it would be sheer madness on his part not to announce a PS4 version of MGS5. Even if the game is still going to the PS3, they need to release on PS4 in Japan.

If Kojima does go XBonly for next gen MGS5, I can see Japanese MGS fans rioting. He'd get even more death threats than he did for his MGS2 trolling.

If anything, Amir0x, I know you'll do your best to prevent MS get away with it. And for that, I thank you.

I know I'll do what I can. And mods too.

Of course, they could still use deceptive language, like they did with FIFA. We'll need to pay close attention to their exact wording.

I can already imagine people losing their shit in the conference thread when a game is announced with no mention of a PS4 version.

Don't we do this already? We did this with diablo 3 on ps4 reveal. And we sure as hell did with fifa during the xbox reveal.

Though thinking about it. There were people asking whether fifa was exclusive- I thought they'd misheard. Only reason that it couldn't have been was because fifa's publisher is contractually obliged not to be exclusive to a platform.
 
Let it in...
yes..yes...

My god. Im horrifed at myself.



It actually isn't so bad I guess

Please Sony do not fuck things up. I know you normally fuck everything up with some bullshit, but just make an exception, just this once. For me.

No, you're just becoming clearer to the reality of Microsoft's shitcock of a 'vision' for the gaming industry. As a gamer, you've every right to openly criticize Microsoft for their shit.

Maybe. But I also have a very long memory. Every Sony product I own has at least thing about it that makes me RAGE. Right now they are the lesser of two evils but I don't consider them the saviour of anything. They are still a corporation acting in their own interest after all.

No.

This whole level of strategy by Microsoft is seriously harming our biggest hobby.
I don't know how much Mattrick has to do with it, but once he took over it was a complete gamechanger.
Microsoft became far more aggressive and lost every bit of integrity.
I always thought that competition is one of the needed factors of this buisness.
They surely pushed Sony and forced them to get active in any possible way with the PS3 launch disaster, but THIS outcome is one of the worst things to happen.
Who knows what's next in store when cboat say's that the plans are even worse ?

Sorry but you aren't a fanboy :) you just love your hobby.
Microsoft became a parasite within the industry.
Hopefully people will acknowledge that and handle the situation accordingly.
