CBOAT, the magic 8ball of neogaf.

What is the PS4 release date?
*shake shake shake*
.................................................

 

[farisr]

Are you able to hint at any good news?

Well he did say Microsoft is gonna reveal something in September that will make us say "wow"

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Haha I love this man. I am actually getting pretty good at reading Cboat speak now.

Could you produce a dictionary please?

 

[Can Crusher]

sory no

Thought so.

 

[PFD]

Is 53mhz a lot?

It's like 6%? So no, not really

 

[Bundy]

I always found it interesting how the only information he "leaks" is just negative information AFAIK

Well, it's not like there was a lot of positive things lately regarding the XboxOne.....
So what's your point?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Well he did say Microsoft is gonna reveal something in September that will make us say "wow"

Every 1000k Gamerscore nets you $1

 

[Pwn]

How come we aren't talking about devs being able to write directly to the metal!? \m/
Maybe I haven't had enough caffeine this morning but I don't even know what that means.

It means you can get rid of your spoon/straw and make your coffee drinking more efficiency.

 

[CouldBeWorse]

I always found it interesting how the only information he "leaks" is just negative information AFAIK

The Sony "leakers" are all unabashed fanboys and tend to leak positive news. Sony is using them smartly.

The Microsoft "leaker" is a disgruntled supposed employee who only leaks negative news. Microsoft needs to step up their game.

 

[rakkadakka]

CBOAT stays in character to defend his rep.

What happened to yield problems?

 

[statham]

6%? No, 53Mhz doesn't even make sense either. What was the point, spec wars?

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

[Black Republican]

Well good stuff i guess.

A good "wow," or a "wow," I can't believe anyone thought that was a good idea.

Wow.

any new games Microsoft have left to announce?

 

[Sid]

For the new page:

Nice move,can Sony do this with the PS4 as well?

 

[SeaOfMadness]

While it is nice to see a little bump to the specs, seeing Microsoft shuffling around changing specs and polices at the last minute does not inspire confidence in their launch. In fact, it is making me even more leery. They simply do not have their shit together at all and it is making them look desperate and clueless, rather than confident and with everyone on the same page working towards a unified vision.

oh you mean like Sony shuffling around the amount of ram available to games at the last minute? That kind of thing?

 

[Bundy]

In Public there wasn't.

Uh.... aha

 

[ekim]

For the new page:

Sure they can

When are we going to see that cancellation you were talking about?

 

[Bundy]

For the new page:

They maybe could. But for what?
54MHz is nothing.
They already have the better hardware / Their GPU part is already a good bit stronger.
They don't need this / better cooling is more important

 

[Sid]

Sure they can

So why haven't they done it? cooling/yield issue?

CBOAT show us on the doll where Microsoft touched you.

 

[Pug]

For the new page:

They could, but why would they? They have already stated 1.84TF and as the PS4 is small the heating issues would be a pain for them.

 

[Vashetti]

Can you inform everyone the exciting features that the ps4 will have?

 

[Uno Venova]

Cboat was certainly on point about the bidet of tears.

 

[Tom Penny]

Xbone hardware improving while PS4 took a hit last week.

 

[SeaOfMadness]

It's like 6%? So no, not really

6% is about 1ms. In gpu time that's a lot. You can do a whole host of additional things in that time. At the very worst, its one less optimization a dev needs to do.

 

[Raymo]

Xbone hardware improving while PS4 took a hit last week.

People's perception took a hit. Nothing on PS4 was changed.

 

[ekim]

So why haven't they done it? cooling/yield issue?

I have no idea - they might have but didn't tell us yet. Ask Sony

 

[Trogdor1123]

Good news for MS, 6% increase is always good.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Cboat was certainly on point about the bidet of tears.

And I bet you love it ;-)

 

[KissVibes]

So, can the RAM bump up still happen if this ended up being legit? I'd love whatever MS still has time to beef up the system.

 

[FairXchange]

Xbone hardware improving while PS4 took a hit last week.

If you consider the "confirmed" allocation of RAM being identical across the two platforms a hit (with GDDR5 offering significant bandwidth advantage on PS4) then sure, why not.

 

[teiresias]

sory no

Wait, so is he saying they're meeting the original TF number with the clock bump rather than the machine getting a TF bump from the clock increase? Meaning they weren't hitting the original number to begin with? Does the math even work out on that?

 

[Uno Venova]

And I bet you love it ;-)

Immensely.

No. No. No.

 

[FairXchange]

The only thing MS could improve on the RAM side of things is increase allocation for games and decrease for OS, which they probably would do anyway down the line.

 

[Berrah]

I would welcome a poll for neogaf MS/PS picks.

 

[GuiltySpark]

I want to punch that guys face. Such horrible character design.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Immensely.

Oh that much is obvious ;-)

 

[ekim]

IF the final devkits indeed have 12GB of RAM they could, IN THEORY, use the devkit boards for production. I highly doubt it though

 

[Arkam]

Both new consoles are the same.

Underpowered boxes that will show their age compared to PCs after 18 months.

Fixed


BUt in all seriousness... good news I guess.
I mean any little bump by either Sony or MS is welcomed.

 

[Calavera520]

Can someone translate cboat please

 

[inherendo]

On GPU 6% isn't bad. Especially considering everything is on the same die and it can't be loud like a dedicated gpu.

That's what a lot of vendors do on some of their cards. A very slight overclock.
