Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)

Since 7451 DaysSo I get it now. Microsoft needed CBOAT's blessing in order to get Gaf members to finally accept what they had ORIGINALLY been offered. Gee, it all makes sense now, in a bizarro world kind of way of course but I get it. lol
When I was a kid my mother sometimes would drop me off at my cousin's house for the morning. My cousin hated breakfast and often threw incredible tantrums to keep from eating anything that wasn't shaped like a waffle. BUT, whenever the babysitter came over she could get him to eat just about anything by merely smiling. It's ridiculous but sometimes it takes a person that people like to get them to consider anything new or God forbid anything that might actually be good for them. lol!
Sure I want this one to be true but anyone could have made this list up, he doesn't say when it's going to be announced either. So it's just another laundry list of vague predictions, this one accompanying a dig at the Reddit community. HA! I know they're laughing at that over there, none of his nonsense gets a pass from us. But why would ever object to this?
Since 7424 Days
Since 7451 DaysHe makes this sound like this is all going to come over the horizon in the morning, but Microsoft's own reps have stated how difficult a work-around will be without validation. They've been talking about it since July, but now CBOAT is going to claim 1st discovery. See how he does that? He takes old news and repackages it like freshly squeezed OJ. What a joke.
It's nice rumor Phaethon but don't hold your breath.
Since 7552 DaysVGChartz has gathered the pre-order numbers for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The latest data is up to the week ending August 24, 2013. This includes the week of Gamescom, which set a record for biggest gaming trade show in Europe with more than 340,000 visitors. The pre-order numbers are for the US only and give an estimate how each console is doing about three months before release.
Up until the week ending August 24 the PlayStation 4 currently leads in the total number of pre-orders in the US with about 600,000. This is up significantly since E3 where there were only 75,000 pre-orders. The Xbox One is still lagging behind with 350,000 pre-orders. This is also way up since E3 where there were only 45,000 pre-orders.
This explain why Microsoft backtrack soo much. They clearly are loosing to Sony by a factor of two, so Forbe was right back them when they say Sony was winning by that amount. This show that Microsoft backtrack wasn't because some internet random childish and witless complains as some people here say.
And this is in the US alone where Microsoft suppose to have the stronger reception. If they are loosing to Sony by that amount on the US them in Europe it should be by an even bigger amount.
You can also see there a chart for games pre-order
Since 7424 DaysI'm pretty sure you're CBOAT anyway though so don't try to weasel out of this one Heisenberg.

Since 7451 DaysLook no matter what VGChartz is saying, if anyone actually thinks there will be Xbox Ones on the shelves this holiday season where they could just walk into a store and pick one up without a reservation or a pre-order................well good luck with that. If someone wants to get an X1, they should order it now, don't fuckin procrastinate. No inventory will survive Black Friday or even make it to Cyber Monday.
Now I did notice a couple of things-
-VGChartz DOES NOT mention whether or not these numbers include X1's being purchased DIRECTLY FROM Microsoft. That's where my Day One Edition is coming from, and the 1st place Xbox gamers placed our orders. Many of us have bypassed the retailers this time, nearly everyone on my friends list did.
-VGChartz is also not going to be able to keep track of gamers making digital purchases. So we naturally won't be included in any software pre-order numbers either.

Since 7451 DaysThe CPUs connect to four 64b wide 2GB DDR3-2133 channels for a grand total of 68GB/sec bandwidth. Do note that this number exactly matches the width of a single on-die memory block. One interesting thing to note is that the speed of the CPU MMU’s coherent link to the DRAM controller is only 30GBps, something that strongly suggests that Microsoft sticks with Jaguar’s half-clock speed NB. If the NB to DRAM controller is 256b/32B wide, that would mean it runs at about 938MHz, 1.88GHz if it is 128b/16B wide.
SemiAccurate would be very surprised if it was 128b wide, wires are cheap, power saving areas not. Why is this important? Unless Microsoft’s XBox One architects are masochists that enjoy doing needless and annoying work they would not have reinvented the wheel and put an arbitrarily clockable asynchronous interface between the NB and the CPU cores/L2s. Added complexity, lowered performance, and die penalty for absolutely no useful upside is not a good architectural decision. That means the XBox One’s 8 Jaguar cores are clocked at ~1.9GHz, something that wasn’t announced at Hot Chips. Now you know.

Since 5391 DaysSony has a contract in place with AMD that specified that they would have total control over the hardware public relations aspect. Which runs out on 29 September 2013.. up intill this date Microsoft is not allowed to go public. It is in the license agreement with Intel as well. Sony had a 6 month exclusive hardware agreement basically. First in best served. This has not effected nintendo as they using different cpus.. And this sort of thing happens all the time in the pc cpu and gpu markets.. .. sad but true. :)
Right at the middle it says 1.3TF and next to it 13.6 gig pixles per second. This is slight upgrade from clock speed. 1.23TF and 12.8 gig pixels per second was original specs. Rest is same. There is no change what so ever.
Also clockspeed is something that is not a big deal. Remember PSP got more than 100mhz via firmware update.
Playstation, pushing the boundries of Play.

Since 7697 Daysthe truth of specs is coming but it is not coming when you think. my contact and myself had a nice chat since e3 and let me tell you , his group and several other developers, not publishers are pissed!
First of all, ubi and ms are not on very good terms right now because ms kept them in the dark and sent them development kits very late.
My contact told me , this was a result of ubi employees breaking nda in the past and Microsoft was not going to have it again. The reason watchdogs hasnt been shown on x1 yet is because ubi is on better terms with sony but in the end the x1 will clearly have the better looking game but will be gimped in the features department and to make matters worse, ubi will gloss right over the fact the x1 is 1080p 60 fps . my contact has spoken to his friend at ubi and that is where this info comes from. He is not sure about everyone else but his studio was made to sign a new nda specifically regarding hardware until the end of september. It is in my opinion this was a result of a sony contingency plan that called for them bumping certain hardware in the ps4 if they had to at the cost of profitability. speaking of profit.... most studios are amazed at the x1 price because the tech inside is much more valuable. He told me this specifically.
Now the bombshell, the studio that will clearly exploit the hardware difference between the x1 and ps4 will be none other then rockstar studios. My contact has a contact at rockstar who told him they have not been happy with sony since gta4 . Sony gives rockstar minimum support since they've taken credit for gta's success. Microsoft on the other hand has worked very hard to support rockstar even going as far as funding specific functions during the development of gta4 and gta5 . He went on to say that this new generation will be alot different and everyone will see why when Red Dead Rebellion is annouced as a exclusive for x1 and rockstar announces its only possible on x1.
Lastly , I asked him about the specs in the x1 and he clammed up and said he cannot tell me about the soc in regards to the cores . he actually got nervous... He did give me a hint about the gpu tho. He said the gpu is exactly "on paper" what they say it is . He then said the truth is in plain site. He actually laughed and said "those sneaky sons a bitches" .
the only tyrant I accept is my inner voice [and my two kids ;)]
