I would love to buy a white bone without a kinect. Make this happen MS.

I would have said the same thing until I owned one. The interface is very dependent on kinect and voice commands. You can disconnect the kinect but the system was clearly designed around it. I really can't see them selling it without kinect at this juncture, the menus would need some serious work, that's for damn sure.
 
What is "is not Phil Spencer" means?
Why though? More Halo/Gears/Halo/Fable and Kinect? MS' over reliance on those IPs is a reason a lot of people have jumped ship to PS. If this was a controlled leak I don't think it's having the effect they hoped
Don't really care it bumming PS4-only owner or not
But is this how you read the info

I know the big ass storm at launch mysteriously never came to fruition. Forgive me if I have a hard time taking his stuff seriously anymore. Not hating, I'm just sayin'.

How would it be a trap?

Are you familiar with Game of Thrones? Spoiler tags to be sure.

Tyrion did a bit where he was trying to smoke out whoever was giving information to Cersei from the other members in the Small Council (There were 3 of them, so think of it as info package A to person A, info package B to person B and info package C to person C). Cersei confronted Tyrion about info package C, and thus Tyrion was able to trace who was Cersei's insider.

halo 2 anniversary would be great, and while a "delayed" halo 5 would be a bit disappointing i'm sure another year in the oven would only benefit it.

Detective Chobel and his/her crazy theories. Now all of us are worried!

It's great theory. We never had this many leaks from single person in such short time outside of special events (E3...). It's just too much to be a coincidence.

I don't believe my theory either
 
Idk if this guy just dropped this big stuff, why not at the same time drop the others?
One would assume that New IPs would be on a higher scale of classified within the company than things coming out of the standard Microsoft House Staple. If he said more than Microsoft could possibly be able to shorten the list of people to punish even more.

Halo 2 HD all over me.
Especially if they are keeping the MP in as the rumor states.
I'll finallly have a MP game to play again.

Not saying CBOAT's right, it was a comment about the theories about this being an attempt to smoke out CBOAT. If this were a canary trap, the info should not have hit other leakers like thuway.

Oh, that's true. Though I guess other leakers trying to cover for him is also possible. Hard to say how deep these rabbit holes go.

Respawn have previously said that the textures weren't final. Either 1: they didn't want to be caught lying about their previous statement and hope no one would notice. Or 2: the insiders are wrong or will be wrong on release.

The game hasn't gone gold yet and they could still release a day 1 patch to up the textures. Nothing is final at this point.

Yeah, the beta may also show us something here.

Exactly. Let's not discuss this further and risk locking this thread. Dev confirmation should be treated as authoritative, at least until there is incontrovertible evidence.

Ill give ex-Infinity Ward the benefit of the doubt...I mean hell...they left t create their own company because of shady shit

Quantum Break for 2014 is great news if true. No Halo 5 this year is terrible though. Sunset Overdrive...nobody cares! In all though, it sounds quite boring. I'm quite disappointed by the cancelled Black Tusk project. Just for another damn Gears of War.

If there is no new mainline Halo game this year then I fully expect Sony to delay Uncharted to 2015. I do appreciate MS "leaking" the schedule of games. It helps to know what is coming and when.
That's not going to happen. SCE dun' care if Halo 5 is coming this year or not. They're not going to delay a flagship game because Microsoft isn't releasing something. If delays occur, it's because the game isn't ready. That's it.

Might get an xbone eventually with this white console and sunset overdrive (and any other exclusive that isn't some online dudebro shooter or serious racer/sports). Will also be good for if rare goes back to its magic snes/64/early 360 days rather than all this kinect sports stuff.

Until all that eventuates will most likely be sticking with ps4 (sony doesn't overload itself with so many dudebro titles and they're getting the better multi platforms this time around) and wii u.
 
What is "is not Phil Spencer" means?

Everything you blanked out is irrelevant to games though. A white X1 is nice, I'm glad he's no phil Spencer, I guess. Halo 2 Anniversary not getting to 60 Fps is worrying. A 1 TB X1 is cool but what exactly is your point here?
 
Very few predicted Quantum Break for a 2014 release.

Except that it was confirmed during E3 for a 2014 release.

Of course, nobody remembers E3 anymore because SONY WON MS IS DOOMED. /s

It was Sunset Overdrive that had no release window, until recently confirmed to be aiming for 2014.

Is Uncharted confirmed for 2014?

why are you claiming Uncharted in 2015 would be a delay? How do you know thats not their intended release period anyways?

Well so Quantum Break,Sunset Overdrive,Crackdown etc is irrelevant

Yeah, the notion that Sony has to react to 'Halo' seems kinda ludicrious.

I'm sure someone at Sony is practically expecting the possibility of Halo being turned into an annualised franchise, and it's not as if Sony is going to turn ND into a 4-team studio to counter that.

:/

They also said Titanfall was exclusive to Xbox One because they were using the cloud to its full potential.

I wouldn't characterize that as bullshit. Its lame as fuck but not necessarily bullshit. They've also said numerous times that they couldn't handle multiplatform production. Obviously Titanfall's exclusivity is a political happening rather than a technological one, but I have no doubt Microsofts new infrastructure (the power of the cloud) has contributed to the relative swiftness of Titanfall's release. When that quote came out I don't think anyone expected the game so soon.

Pretty sure it's going to be an accurate leak, especially if the Verge has confirmed white Xbox One for later this year. What can MS really do? They can't deny it and look like liars and they can't acknowledge it bbecause it will make a star out of our new leaker and really deflate their E3 plans.
