holy shit @ "im the gun"

so not only is crazy buttocks our lord and savior, the great prophet of our time, but he's a complete Clint Eastwood-esque badass too?

Poster of the forever confirmed.

otherwise godbye fora ibit.

Oh, and he will rise another day!
 
What specifically was he wrong about on that? I haven't done much research on it :u



Nah he was banned for being an MS shill. I'd imagine Bish was looking into him for a while.

I'm more mad about him getting my hopes up than anything else. He had the pub date wrong iirc. Was also wrong about the lack of horror in DR3, and, iirc, mentioned that Sony was doing Remember me.

Additional source confirmation on what, exactly????

That the new Xbox One is having pre-fab difficulties with APU/GPU yields due (possibly) to SOC ESRAM memory?

= OR =

That the Xbox One is going to be down-clocked...even though no clock speed has ever been announced or confirmed, except by gaming websites that live and die by "hits" caused by salacious rumors.

Quite obviously, he's not going to say if it's not confirmed.
 
exactly


while I believe cboat has heard yield issues... sure no problem, huge chip not unexpected... extrapolating it to down clock and people just assuming it's true?

no. sorry. not yet.
 
Considering they have not been fabing long I don't see how he would know what is currently happening. It's not like they have been mass producing chips for years.



Just because it is not out yet does not make him wrong? Never saw a date. Shit also gets canceled relatively often, which is why I think "rumors" may not always be incorrect (always online), when changes are made (they become online once in 24 hours).

He's saying the circumstances don't seem likely. He was part of the audio hardware team and he's saying even he would have never heard the fab issues in his position.
 
Oh wow, my favorite kinda gossip!

I couldn't find info here as to who exactly is handling the eSRAM.

Does anybody know? Which company? And perhaps which fab/foundry?

Trying to flush me from the weeds. Sorry friend, in DuckHunt, I'm the gun, not the ducks.

If I get an additional source confirming it, I will reveal one more truthfact before the 10 AM conference on Monday. (EA maybe)

Goodbye for a bit.
 
Someone translate for me. Holy shit!

I seem to recall reading something about the Remember Me devs going to Sony, but Sony turned them down, possibly because the main character is female.

No, of course not.... Wouldn't want to risk one's reputation as the new "Oracle of Delphi"with specific information that can be independently verified and confirmed. Better to couch everything in ambiguous dyslexic-speak, and pretend that it is some super secret "insider" code-speak for the initiated.

You know normally I'd side with you. However, CBOAT's got a 100% (well, except for DocSeuss's issue with DR3, on the release date) okay, so ~100% track record. Not saying you can't doubt the guy, but questioning why he's not going to mention something he hasn't confirmed doesn't make much sense considering his post history.

Is it not possible it is someone in AMD leaking the information? I'm sure someone has to test all these chips. If you are testing the chips and half of them (or more) don't work, it should be a huge red flag. I imagine the people being paid to test these are not high in microsofts food chain...

He's got a good track record because he relies on more than one source. Fact checking multiple sources reduces the chances of information being incorrect.

You're trying to flush me from the weeds like in the game duckhunt. I'm sorry, friend, I'm the gun, not the ducks.

My fellow gamers, I have one more truthfact (insider info that I possess) before the 10 A.M. conference on Monday, if I am able to ascertain an additional source confirmation on it (my track record is flawless, I confirm my shit).

Goodbye for now.

CBOAT's "I'M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS" moment. Hope he gets a source confirmation.
 
Well fuck, judging from his first line, CBoaT is pretty confident in his information.

I don't buy it anymore. Bkilian is a confirmed ex MS XBOX employee:

http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1746377&postcount=3684

No, then his response would have been the standard "We don't comment on rumors". The fact that he did not break out the standard response is quite telling.

As to CBOAT, from his previous posts, he's an industry insider, probably at EA. I call bull on him knowing anything about XB1 yields. Yield info would not even have been widely shared in the xbox org, someone from outside it would not be hearing anything about it. Heck, I was working on a low level hardware component, and I would not even be able to tell you the process of that component, never mind the yields.

LOL

That requires one to believe that a major publisher like EA, with hundreds of millions of development and advertising dollars of their own on the line, would accept being kept rather "in the dark" about the pending launch of the platform and how many units deep that new customer pool might be around the holidays.

Bullshit.

That one piece of information--how many units are they going to be able to deliver in the launch window--is FAR MORE VALUABLE to the major pubs than even the specs. The devs can worry about specs.

The notion that EA or any other major publisher would not be leveraging their "valued partner" status MS for constant updates on the status of the manufacture is frankly hilarious. Even then, it seems likely that these companies, with so much money on the line, would also want to cultivate inside sources with the fabs and assemblies as well for independent verification so they could plan accordingly, especially if there were problems.

This isn't corporate espionage, this is corporate intelligence.

Bkilian is either an idiot for not realizing this, or he has an agenda.

Of course that's a possibility. I think bkilian's points are that the source is likely not within MS and major Nelson going out of his way to address the rumor is telling.

he mentioned dead rising 3 being made, now an exclusive title. We still don't know if it's coming or not, but kotaku talked about a zombie game in the x1 lineup a while ago, so...
i take it you mean the lack of horror in dead space 3? he mentioned dead space 3 would turn into a shootbang fest with buddies, which, again, was right.
he said remember me was a ps3 exclusive, which it was for a while, until sony dropped it.
