Am I too late?

I'm leaning towards believing the OP cause he's been registered three years and this is probably the most silly/minor thing to risk a permaban over.

And Xbox.com has a history of fucking up and accidentally leaking things. They leaked their whole E3 2011 conference beforehand for example: http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/24801/t1654656-xbox-com-leaks-halo-4-announcement/ and the year before that the italian version of Xbox.com accidentally leaked the Xbox 360 Slim http://www.gamerfuzion.com/xbox-360-slim-leaked-image/

Putting this as close to the top of the new page as I can get.

Combine that with today's downtime and Xbox.com login issues, and I'd say there's definitely a precedent for these things, clues to it being real from today's events, and all of us know that it's going to happen for real soon anyway.

Why does this have to be fake exactly?

God of war 3 or uncharted 2.

Well, if we're going to bring up linear games focused on giving the player a "cinematic experience" as something comparable to a game that looks just as good and will probably have the same scale as Xenoblade, we can. I don't think it's a valid comparison though.

Am I too late?

Okay, I think the Ron Paul GIF can be officially retired.

 

[The Power Of Snap]

What does nuts and bolts have on X besides being a different genre?

It was released in 2008.

 

[shinobi602]

Ahh damn, I believed it at first. But now why would OP capture and cut just the top half of the page? Makes no sense.

Probably wasn't fully loaded. I actually just loaded the page and it looked like this:

 

[EightBitNate]

7.5/10

 

[lantus]

What the fuck is it with people and this gif? Like it's going to be some saving grace when it's probably not coming out for at least a year and God knows when/if this is getting localized anywhere.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Christmas is RUINED thanks a lot OP

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Okay, I think the Ron Paul GIF can be officially retired.

Only after that X gif is retired too, please god, someone retire it.

 

[Squire]

You sure showed him who's boss with all of those games, period.

Fixed.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Just so you know, I believe you. XBL was down and people couldn't sign in on Xbox.com. Something was going on.

The Halo 4 logo was leaked exactly the same way on the exact same page before the game was announced.

Yep. People don't realize this. History repeating itself.

Spoiler

I'm sorry OP. Shit's dun goofed.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Damn. I was pumped.

 

[DreadPirateRoberts]

So Microsoft dug up a fake fan made font and rebranded their website like that?

yeah, ok.

Capcom used art with an IGN watermark for the box art of Okami Wii, it's not entirely unheard of for companies to just grab stuff off the internet, even though they should have it already.

 

[stktt]

Not that I want to get drawn into a tedious back and forth but this is a 2008 Xbox 360 game.



Star Ocean 4 has never looked particularly great.

I'm playing Nuts and Bolts right now. Such a great looking game.

I suppose it's possible that Microsoft used a fan made Xbox font for some sort of mockup banner, but you would think the official font would be easily accessible.

 

[DocSeuss]

It's worth noting that calling it "the New Xbox" is good in light of nobody knowing what the hell the Wii U is.

 

[Willy Wanka]

What does nuts and bolts have on X besides being a different genre?

I have no idea since we know very little about X but it looks better than the shitty image you posted of Star Ocean 4.

well considering it was in the North American Nintendo Direct it's probably safe to assume it'll be localized

as for your first point... people love posting pretty gifs. it seems like nintendo fans have latched onto it and are using it against any anti-wii u posts lol

 

[Heysoos]

JUST LET ME PREORDER ALREADY MS. TAKE MY MONEY.

 

[Killthee]

Should have gone with Nude SexBox.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Yep. People don't realize this. History repeating itself.

Plus, since it's obviously an internal version of the page that was probably placed in the wrong folder during maintenance or something, that logo is probably placeholder and just grabbed off the internet like people are implying.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fixed.

I thought it was perfectly fine the way it was.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Yep. People don't realize this. History repeating itself.

Spoiler

I'm sorry OP. Shit's dun goofed.

It's also how the new Slim xbox was leaked, microsoft is almost better off just not having an xbox website.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It's also how the new Slim xbox was leaked, microsoft is almost better off just not having an xbox website.

Yep. The only problem is that we don't see the new xbox here as the URL or frontpage was not updated yet.

Oh, I haven't seen the Nintendo event myself, I just assumed it was concerning Japan. Even so, I would hardly call this one single game a big 'STFU' to people who have seen equally impressive things for quite sometime now.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

that logo is probably placeholder and just grabbed off the internet like people are implying.

Tried searching for the new Xbox logo here and the proper new logo appears plenty of times, don't see any green background white font logos using the fan-made font. They must've downloaded the font then?

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Am I too late?

Fixed that for you.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

People always get mad when they see that gif

 

[Respawn]

ZOMG! It's real you guise:

was to good to pass up

 

[Glorified G]

Am I too late?

I love this thread

 

[Diablos54]

It's the Nintendo version of the Killzone 3 gif. Expect to see it, alot, GAF.

 

[Thug Waffle]

Within reason, I don't care what it's called so long as it's worth buying.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Within reason, I don't care what it's called so long as it's worth buying.

Agreed.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I dunno.

I want to believe. Unless this was a purposeful account suicide this seems to obvious a thing to prove fake.

 

[IHaveIce]

Plus, since it's obviously an internal version of the page that was probably placed in the wrong folder during maintenance or something, that logo is probably placeholder and just grabbed off the internet like people are implying.

Why take a fanmade font as placeholder when the original new logo is everywhere aviable on the web.

Not going to call anyone a liar, but this whole stuff seems fishy

 

[Dirtbag]

It's the Nintendo version of the Killzone 3 gif. Expect to see it, alot, GAF.

what game is it?
Nothing really exciting about that gif. I guess given what nintendo fans are used to though, that's probably heart-stopping visuals

[Kritz]

Fixed that for you.

You are a better man than I.

 

[deviljho]

is that lherre?

 

[shinobi602]

Are some of you guys really suggesting that it's fake simply because you can do a little photoshop work yourselves?

 

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Maybe they wanted to make a logo at that size rather than scaling it, and just grabbed the font off the internet.

I believe you, OP.

 

[Squire]

I would definitely say that's what's happening, yeah.

Playstayshun Box U

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Playstayshun Box U

That's actually not bad. I'll take one of those.

 

[Doffen]

he faked it

again

notice the top two fonts are the same?

Microsoft used the following logo at Build 2012:

 

[Thug Waffle]

Playstayshun Box U

In Soviet Russia, Station Play you!

 

[Artimities]

I like the name being Xbox. People have bare bones PC's and people have sweet gaming PC's, but they are still PC's. should be the same.

 

[antitrop]

I haven't completely taken off my skeptical hat, but I don't really think OP would bother lying about something so silly. But people have certainly lied and faked far more trivial things.
