The NX Prediction / BSpeculation / Fanxiety Thread

I'm in for the game speculation, but I'm out for this crazy hour wait for a tweet about an announcement. This is why we can't have NX game/feature speculation threads anymore....
 
Oh how convenient for you...lol.

You are the one who decided to post about how Emily was the FIRST to know about Nvidia's involvement with the NX, and I simply provided the evidence to show that is not the case, and that she yet again was taking credit for somebody else's leak.

It's always 24-48 hours after a leak from someone else that she does this..time and time again. There's a pattern with her.

And the fact that she had the audacity to tweet just a few hours ago the link to the May 16th NeoGAF post, as evidence to show she knew about Nvidia's involvement with the NX, when SemiAccurate had already reported it on May 14th...sorry bud, she's an opportunist and I don't respect someone trying to take credit for someone else's journalism.

Exactly and the fact that she is trying to prove she was first to know this on Twitter should tell people that she just rides other leaks.

I get what you're saying but I don't understand why the mods wouldn't allow it. I mean these people here are hyped beyond help, and they do no harm because they're all in one topic. What's the harm in that?

It's like blowing off steam you know.
 
*reads last few pages of Emily Rogers hysteria*

Christ, people, just wait for the 26th and be pleasantly surprised if there's any news before then. If WSJ's latest is any indication, we're pretty much assured of at least a reveal date then, which is still a huge deal after all this madness.

And its taking away and real discussion from taking place.
 
Fine, that's your opinion. I respect it. I just don't like the way you say it. I think the others have made clear that further discussion in that way will only make this thread locked as bashing on Emily is nothing less than toxic behavior. I will stop here.

Pointing out a repeating pattern isn't really bashing on Emily.
 
What's bad is that if you're like me, you're waiting to see what the NX is all about and whether you want to save and buy the NX or just buy something now. I'm not made of money and that PSVR is really tempting.

Hopefully by the end of the month we'll have something.
 
I think most mods are scared to come in here.
Bish: One of you has to moderate the NX thread today.

Roboleon: Bish no please!

Roboleon: Alright I'll do it. Just don't kill me. Fuck.
 
If I worked at Nintendo PR, I would start posting some cryptic stuff like "Ready for some marshmallows?" close up images of bird feathers, and maybe a haiku about lost love...

Just to see how it is interpreted here.
 
I'm kinda surprised that this thread hasn't a poll yet.

POLL - This thread is the plane crash from the 1993 movie 'Alive'; we are:

  • The passengers, who died in the crash
  • The survivors, who turned cannibal
  • the wreckage of the plane
  • the mountain
  • the cold, cold snow

true = waar
It's not that it only happens with NX, the same happened with ps4 pro and scorpio threads and those topics did it just fine without needed to created 1000 other threads for it.
 
Do we really need to have this discussion again, in this particular thread?

Considering that she is taken as a major source right now due to the lack of other information, there's at least reason to discuss it in this particular thread. Especially in light of her latest Captain Obvious "leaks" (news this or next week, new Mario a bit different, new NCL IP).

If you don't like others to question the veracity of a particular source, feel free to ignore the discussion as a whole.

And I don't even doubt that she is talking to people with legit information. It's just that most of the time she's late, not right, or brings complete non-news that anyone could guess.

I'd love to see us convert into a Frog Fractions 2-esque ARG.
 
Honestly I wish mods would just lock this thread like the others till we get official info.

Why? You can just ignore it right. Its the only place on GAF to support each other. Hell, call the topic 'NX waiting support' or something, because I truly think some people here need the support before they go batshit crazy
 
I'm kinda of happy that we don't know what NX is yet, I mean if it really launch in March 2017 then from its announcement to the release there will just be a few months, and we won't have to wait that long to put our hands on the console, at least we are still here entertained waiting to officially know what NX is

An axe and Yoshi riding a horse works pretty well too.
 
What has sparked this countdown, nothing seems to point towards an announcement today, out of the blue.

No one indeed is expecting an announcement of NX, rather an announcement of the announcement, which will likely(believe) be next week, though I think we'll get the announcement of the announcement this Friday, so pointless to hold your breath for today or tomorrow

Thank you for pointing some facts on this madness.
 
For everyone wondering about the countdown, it's users being jumpy about checking every-hour-on-the-hour for tweets on the main pages.

8AM, 9AM, and 10AM EST are usually the times things get announced.

Believe.
