I don't know where to post this but Adam Sessler was looking forward to something this weeked but something happened today, Arthur Gies and Kevin Dent responded to it, could this be related to next gen consoles? https://twitter.com/adamsessler/status/393945548186611712

Ths is intriguing

Dr Dentenstein ‏@TheKevinDent 21m
@aegies @AdamSessler yeah I can't reconcile their logic on that one at all. There is no "win" for em.

Let the vague speculation begin

Yeah I can't figure out what the hell is going on, but it sounds shitty for gamers.

 

[Chamber]

Call me shallow, but BF4 in 1080p on PS4, would be a sale for me.

Okay if BF4 is 1080p on PS4 my preorder is back on.

Probably the same for me. I wrote the game off because DICE/EA have been so sketchy on details but 1080/60 might get me back on the hype train.

Any ideas of what it could mean? It sounds way too cryptic for me to understand.

I'm putting on some supertramp. There's a pretty good chance this will lead to a drunken me listening to 80s music at 3:00am. Thanks Nika Harper.

Already posted?

secret sauce backfired?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Would be kind of laughable if it's just confirming CoD or BF4 is 1080p like it's some moral victory of sorts.

Why do we keep on posting stuff this guy (Arthur) says. He has such an Xbox slant it's pathetic.

At least Sessler is more of a rounded guy.

Arthur was banned for a reason.

 

[Iacobellis]

Definitely isn't. What Sess and Gies are trying to get at sounds like something bad.

Would love to know more.

 

[Replicant]

Past year?

Here's an article from him from 2007:

"[redacted] certainly looks like a bona fide native resolution 1080p game [...] However, for curiosity's sake I loaded up the game in 1080p on Xbox *** and while it's clearly scaled up from 720p, the difference to the PS* version is not that significant, something readily apparent in the screenshot comparison."

Well this guy sure gives Digital Foundry a lot of credibility.

Spoiler

not!

 

[Skeff]

Definitely isn't. What Sess and Gies are trying to get at sounds like something bad.

They probably had a game confirmed at 720p to them, no biggie, same old stuff.

 

[Chobel]

Gies also posted this half an hour ago after replying to Sessler and Dent https://twitter.com/aegies/status/393947262960693248

What rumored bad news? The only (somewhat) bad news I can think of is CoD being 720p in Xbox One.

 

[Kagari]

well that certainly doesnt sound promising...

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Wish they'd stop being vague on Twitter, a public forum. It's more annoying than anything.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

They can't direct capture gameplay is my guess. That seems like something Adam would be up in arms over.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Definitely isn't. What Sess and Gies are trying to get at sounds like something bad.

Even if this is some "bad" Xbone news I can't see anything for either Xbone or PS4 being considered bad.

It's like these people know this kind of stuff makes the rounds here and they just like to build something up that the less enthusiast gaming fans would ever even care about.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Arthur was banned for a reason.

He isn't banned though, he just hasn't posted since a number of his predictions/sources turned out to be false.

Anyway, has their been any rumored bad news about the PS4 in recent weeks?

 

[alterno69]

Maybe MS won't allow anyone to review games that are clearly inferior on XBone?

 

[Skeff]

He isn't banned though, he just hasn't posted since a number of his predictions/sources turned out to be false.

He still owes someone $10 IIRC.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Yeah, this makes sense considering Sess was complaining a lot about it.

 

[Chobel]

Only one, Driveclub delay which is not a rumor anymore.

 

[Heysoos]

Maybe MS won't allow anyone to review games that are clearly inferior on XBone?

My guess was embargo reviews until release day.

 

[Iacobellis]

He isn't banned though, he just hasn't posted since a number of his predictions/sources turned out to be false.

Not really. All I can think of is no chat via Bluetooth at launch.

 

[SolidSnakex]

He still owes someone $10 IIRC.

Heh, I forgot about that.

Yeah, this makes sense considering Sess was complaining a lot about it.

But we've known about that. Yoshida even confirmed on Twitter that it won't be available at launch and will instead be enabled through a patch at a later date. Unless they're just way behind on news.

 

[tfur]

It feels like the "game press" colludes too much, almost covering up.
This does not sound like embargo... Report what is happening!

 

[alterno69]

My guess was embargo reviews until release day.

This too, especially after they mentioned it's a no win situation for "them"

 

[IN&OUT]

I don't understand a thing, WTF is happening ? what is Sessler saying?

 

[Gemüsepizza]

My guess was embargo reviews until release day.

Hm but wouldn't they be allowed to speak about embargo dates?

 

[Chobel]

They can't direct capture gameplay is my guess. That seems like something Adam would be up in arms over.

I don't think so because Kevin Dent responded in that tweet by saying "yeah I can't reconcile their logic on that one at all. There is no "win" for em." I don't think that no "no direct capture gameplay" is that bad.

 

[xaosslug]

this. pls stop guys.

i'm pretty sure Y2kev make a rule about it, now. So, it's bannable?

 

[Chamber]

This too, especially after they mentioned it's a no win situation for "them"

Sounds right to me, can't let those 5/10 Ryse scores get out too soon.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I don't understand a thing, WTF is happening ? what is Sessler saying?

That's the point, both him and Gies are being deliberately vague when they should just keep quiet until they can tell people. It creates rumours and speculation based on basically nothing.

 

[Mr.Speedy]

Well all of this is extremely cryptic and quite ridiculous to put out on a public forum(twitter). I wonder if famousmortimer knows what's going on.

 

[prwxv3]

I am guessing embargo reviews too. Reveiwers despise launch day embargos for just regular game releases I can't imagine the how bad it will be for a next gen launch

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That's the point, both him and Gies are being deliberately vague when they should just keep quiet until they can tell people. It creates rumours and speculation based on basically nothing.

Dent too, though. I wonder why they're all doing it. Must be pretty nasty stuff.

Where is Gaf insiders !! C'mon we need a Frydation

I liked this first response tweet...lol.

Will O'Neill ‏@willoneill 43m

@aegies I know, man. I've been blowing all my GTA money on haircuts and ammo for weeks, but part of me knew that free money wasn't coming.

 

[Chobel]

Kevin Dent saying "There is no "win" for em." makes it look like it's something really bad.

 

[kasane]

They always do this. Go on twitter, post some vague shit, create rumors, sit back and see shit unfold.

 

[IN&OUT]

I'm guessing it's something inline with Cboat latest posts, "risks everywhere" hardware stability problems.

 

[alterno69]

Kevin Dent saying "There is no "win" for em." makes it look like it's something really bad.

I don't think it's bad, more like ilogical.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I know Gies has a history of this, but do Sess and Dent as well?

 

[Chamber]

I'm guessing it's something inline with Cboat latest posts, "risks everywhere" hardware stability problems.

Yeah, honestly, I don't think this is worth paying attention to or speculating over. I understand we're all bored waiting for November to roll around though.

 

[Zornack]

Man, I wish console launches happened more than every 6-8 years. Following this stuff is too much fun.

I don't think it's bad, more like ilogical.

Yeah, to me it sounds like something they are making a choice on, not some OS, hardware or performance issue that has sprung up.

 

[Mr.Speedy]

I'm guessing it's something inline with Cboat latest posts, "risks everywhere" hardware stability problems.

Was he talking about the ps4, x1 or both?

 

[Iacobellis]

Kevin Dent saying "There is no "win" for em." makes it look like it's something really bad.

Microsoft really fell into a hole this year.

 

[prwxv3]

I don't think it's bad, more like ilogical.

And launch embargos are pretty illogical since you want your user base hyped as possible before release.

 

[N.Domixis]

This getting ridiculous, something is going on behind the scenes and no one wants to break the news. If it's with Microsoft having worse multiplats, we will all know soon, all this secrecy with third party games on both consoles is pissing me off.
