Halo 2 anniversary would get me to bite on a bone, though hasn't the anniversary already passed?
Halo 2 was 2004

It's because of all those financial issues. SCE has decided to close down half the studios at work on the PS4 and they have decided to move development to the Nintendo Wii U. And Vita. But mostly Wii U.
Every one of their studios are working on PS4 projects, even Sony Bend. Plenty to leak, just no reason to do it.Or is it because there is nothing worth leaking on Sony's side for now?
no i mean is it Gopher's guess,or does he actually have information that tells him this? Why is Microsoft choosing some leaks on GAF then to reveal this information, why do they think this is necessary? What are they seeing? If it is them, in what ways are they being selective about what they're leaking? What parts of the picture are we missing?
Some weird shit going on right now. Feels like manipulation.
Isn't that kinda bad? This would only be good if your DLC carries over. I wouldn't buy a game knowing a better one is around the horizon (no puns intended).
Attempt at diverting attention from the negative Tomb Raider/Black Tusk news and/or softening the blow of a Halo 5 delay?no i mean is it Gopher's guess,or does he actually have information that tells him this?

me too, some are running with its "leaked" on purpose, really, it doesn't change what was "leaked" or "announced" it all sounds pretty awesome to me.

Sony Insider/Employee.
I'm leaning to the controlled leaks side. That highly detailed launch list for T2 countries did it for me.
Sony-GAF
Does it matter if they are sanctioned "leaks" or not? It is new info.
I think it is damage control for the Tomb Raider 30/60 FPS dustup. This will change the hot topic of conversation for awhile especially among the very NeoGAF types that would be hyping the Tomb Raider controversy.
It just gives them another way to release PR information.
One thing I find interesting about all these leaks is that there's not a single one mentioning any new games or new IPs that we don't know about.
That's not because they don't exist, but because I think MS would like to reveal that on their own terms obviously.
Controlled leaks due to some low sales info from January from retailers? Hoping to spur some sales? We have evidence from retail that they are stacking up on the shelves.
It has hit Engadget now. Getting close to critical mass I would imagine.
So those are controlled leaks?

Yeah, the more I think about it...the fact that we didn't get any info on a single new game/IP is setting off alarm bells.
Hey, this is still all awesome news but...feels slightly...strange.
Even if it has been officially Bish approved and is now even being reported on by the likes of The Verge? If you say so.
A game I played 10 years ago isn't going to get me to buy a $500 console. (holy fuck H2 is 10 years old..) halo 2 HD is really their big holiday game?
Wow crazy leaks.
Does anyone know what it takes to get Bish-approved? Do they have to provide evidence of what they're going to leak, or just PM a picture of a keycard proving they work at whatever studio? I'd get all nervous taking the word of a guy who posts a bunch of bombs in his first ever post on a forum, but assuming he's good...
I'm on the side thinking it's a controlled leak, although that does seem bizarre given how much this reveals the roadmap. Still, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the OP is someone Penello or Major, and they are just trying to get "Sony-GAF" hyped for their console because as everyone knows GAF hates the XBone. GAF gets excited now, and when they officially reveal this stuff everyone else gets excited.
Halo 5 not releasing this year - did anyone really think that it was going to happen? Not really a surprise IMO. If it comes early next year, I think Sony can hold off Uncharted until a similar time frame unless it is a lot further along and they want to bring out a heavy hitter for the holidays.
Another Forza game in less than a year? 5 years from now we'll get our first GT game on PS4 and there will be like 6 Forza games out
What really surprises me whether these are true or not is how little we know about the upcoming fall slate, and how little we've seen of what we know is coming. These rumours along with things like Last of Us or Uncharted hitting this year, and the ever present Last Guardian (LOL). Interesting times ahead for all games... and potentially all fans of leaks. ntkrnl you are on the hot seat now
Also, why would you silence CBOAT now? Seems like if you really wanted to smoke him out you should have done it while he was in here all the time mouthing off on your system. I don't think he's posted much recently, and certainly nothing of a megaton? Seems like bizarre timing to me.
Have we ever had a company deny that a rumour was true that turned out to be true? If Respawn offers no comment on textures people are going to take that as confirmation, and of course if they confirm it shit will hit the fan, so the smart thing to me seems to deny, but yeah it could come back to bite them if it ends up being true. At least they won't have to worry about it being compared to a technically superior PS4 version?
Hi. We don't mind people who have access to stuff sharing it here, or even doing so obliquely. And nothing you're saying sounds crazy. But you might want to send a private message to Nirolak (who is a moderator here) just to identify yourself. We don't need your full name and identity or anything, just a sort of brief summary about whether you're speaking first-hand or second-hand, and what your work position is such that you'd have this information. I'll also note that if stuff turns out to be totally wrong and it becomes clear you made it up--there's a difference between this and information changing, which is totally normal--obviously your account will be forfeit.
Lack of used games is a feature?If the all digital $399 sku has the features MS intended before the 180, they can take my money now.
that is why I find nothing revealed as bombs. Even crackdown /horizon was hinted by MS several times. beside timing of release which are always subject to change. game wise there isn't really anything new except a port of a game couple of GEN ago.
You can follow this white rabbit, if you want

since 2012 forza is a annual franchiseWow crazy leaks.

Seen it on a few /r already. Everyone on /r/xboxone hate "sonygaf" though so they probably downvoting or refusing to click the gaf links lol
Why would MS leak that they are coming out with cheaper consoles, new 1TB console, white console ect? They want sales now, not for people to wait until November to buy a console. That literally makes no sense if you just think about business.
I'm reading XBO can't run Halo 2 at 60 fps...
wouldnt they hinder sales if it was controlled?Don't do this.

Wouldn't be surprised if the leaks were controlled. Either way, I want everything in them leaks

Holy shit, in the engadget article they say the verge had sources confirm it.
