Of course the MS guy would say specs stopped mattering last generation...
Halo team? are they doing multiple games?
yes, but if hes part of the halo team, that mean other teams exist.343i is dealing with all things Halo.
they follow each other and worked at the same company for years, I'm sure they are friends goofing around.Slightly more powerful doesn't match vindictive justice. I think it's more likely Ryan is just making fun of fanboy strife over next generation's perceived power gap.
343 dude is damage controlling. That's a very salty comment.

@ryanpayton @GavinC343 You can certainly count on a lot of ass grabbing if you employ GC.

I bet they are pissing themselves laughing at some of the replies in this thread.

I don't know if the guy is laughing all that much if he felt the need to say specs don't matter.
Uhhh, do you honestly think 343 did not have Durango devkits until after Payton left?

You might very well be the target of his 'mock'
Here we go with everyone over analyzing a tweet, this is getting beyond sad now. I think you all need to take a break go play some games seriously.
Trust me, Ryan's first tweet was serious.really. 2 buddies having a chuckle about what appears to be the state of gaming forums now. And those same forum goers blow it out of proportion, adding a meta almost inception-like quality to the whole thing.
Trust me, Ryan's first tweet was serious.
I was joking - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=49743618&postcount=3268
He didnt say he was joking, did he?Payton should now tweet that he was being completely serious.

Completely agree with you.
I don't think theres anything "useful" here in the last 30 pages or more. To be honest this thread now looks like a stealthy console war.When one company reveals nothing about their new console, while the other one has... Grasping for straws at any possible hint is quite normal.
Because the Durango news thread has been a ghost town for a while.

About as stealthy as a modern Splinter Cell game.
Time to fly back from Seattle. Stay locked to The Verge early next week. That's all I'm saying.
That tweet was from Tom Warren of the Verge who focuses on Microsoft products. Could be anything, but who knows, maybe Xbox related.
well, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON!?

Whats even worse is that is doesn't matter which is more powerful, most won't be able to tell the difference unlike last gen. Most of the parts from confrirmed and leaked specs are almost identical. Third party devs will just pick the easiest to work with and go from there. unless you're some digital foundry fanboy who likes to count pixels it's pointless.
I can't wait until MS officially makes it's press release so we can finally focus on the stuff that really matter like the GAMES.
I don't know. I see a obscure future for the internet gaming forums years ahead. I would love to see a split in neogaf with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo individual sections.
I was kidding, poking fun at the craziness within this threadIn this topic? I give up in this thread. I'm looking forward for the next Xbox. But you wil not see me in PS4 threads trying to downplay it.

Good specs -> Nice graphics, better physics, bigger and more diverse worlds, better AI, more NPCs ... in GAMES. Of course if you don't know much about this stuff, it's hard to get excited for it...

And do you really think Third party devs are going to go out of their way to make all those stuff better on the PS4 if it's more powerful?
First party sure but third party will try to make everything identical, I'm just going from what happened this gen.
You are overstating.
I wager MS did not engineer a machine as a whole that would considerably under perform the best they could imagine Sony producing. If you believe that they did not work with developers on what would be needed to reach parity to MOST PEOPLES NAKED EYE in all of the most inportant third party games, then you are mistaken.
A year from now we will be reading digital foundry reviews just to identify the differences just like this Gen.
That's what I read. I was wondering why people were over-analyzing a simple tweet. It doesn't even actually imply he knows anything in detail - it simply seems like commentary on the console wars.Ryan's tweet doesn't sound like he's confirming anything, just commenting on the passive-aggressive formula for the console wars.
Uhhh, do you honestly think 343 did not have Durango devkits until after Payton left?
Unless you are working on a next gen project you do not get to see the dev kits or even go in the same room, they have pretty strict NDA requirements around them.

Told you guys not to get excited about the Tom Warren tweet. This is the resulting article.
