Trying to acheive that balance on a personal level so here you go
And then liquidmetals posts are worth reading to as he/she is a PS4 dev or insider or knows people etc.

It's highly doubtful any of them are actually Xbox devs. You're best off ignoring the comment section in a blog like that, since it could quite literally be anyone.

Background. Serious business. Who gives a fuck about the content when your background is a piece of shit static cloud.
Poor Xbone. You can't catch a break can you?

Bro... Can we stop the personal attacks on the guy? You're better than that, man.

Haven't seen him yet.
Suddenly the low power/resume missing on the PS4 does not seem like as big a deal.
Seriously though. All of this is expected. I'd be surprised if the PS4 does not have network issues/OS issues. Every new OS that launches is going to have lots of bugs that will be resolved in the first 6~ months or so.
This is nothing new.

Yeah. Cut it out.

Famousmortimer was hyping "something bigger than Xbox 720p" in the end it's nothing, at least nothing that can't be fixed with a software update, something to do with Xbox One VoIP API and it currently causing connectivity problems. Microsoft introduced whole party system in 2008 with NXE update, I am sure they will be able to fix everything that is currently buggy on One, maybe not on the release date, but few weeks after.
The launch for these consoles is going to suck.
If you insist.
Honestly, I'm feeling a little worried about how either of the consoles are going on day one.
Wait, a buggy OS that is said to be months behind what it should be is less important than a Call of Duty game being 720p?

Yep although I think the PS4 might be a bit smoother at this point simply due to a simpler OS approach
Yet to be determined but that's what the insider talk seems to speak of
Got a PS4 commercial before the vid. Sony is straight up trolling.
Hey Mort, Don't let it get to you bro. It's not like your job is on the line or anything like that. Sure your rep will probably be bashed around a bit but the people that really know what you stand for, those are the ones that matter at the end of the day. I commend your dedication to gaming and dishing out the truth and justice, but man, spread some of the good fight to the rest of us....you can't and shouldn't do it alone. That what you have us (GAF) for...a bunch of insane gamers that would do nearly anything for our expensive "drug habit". Don't let this take you down when there's so many people out there that you can lean on and that will be in your corner.

Check the IP, I bet this one is coming from Redmond, WA. Must be one of their new shills.

you can change the color of achievement pop-ups on xb1 though. hold on to that pre-order for now...
Post your proof, please.
Not so much on sony's end. If you bought a vita at launch, you would understand why. The core functionality will be there.
Didn't you cancel your pre-order... of yourself?
It depends on precisely what features are currently causing disconnects though doesn't it? It's a terrible problem for an online console, what are the major games? CoD and BF? those are some heavy hitting online games, if this means that you are unable to play online properly for 1 month or so then that's a big hit for that section of Xbox fans, which is quite substantial, especially when only looking at those who would be day one adopters.
The thing is, with games running at a lower resolution, you get used to it, that's how it is, however with disconnects it annoys the shit out of you because it is always reminding you there is a problem. We do not know the extent of the connectivity problems, Also I do not think XBL will appreciate 2 million consoles suddenly turning up and disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, if this will have wider XBL consequences we do not know.
You're right. I apologize. He may or may not have problems. I shouldn't have assumed he did.

It's not... not a standard OS. From what I've gathered, it's pretty complex behind the scenes. Involves multiple virtualized sandboxes. It's obviously not going to go as peachy as running a copy of windows
Par for the course for a console launch
DEFAULT BACKGROUND ONLY!??
Pre-order cancelled.

Ok your last comment was ridiculous, but this just killed me.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I'm pretty sure this guy is an obvious joke character.
Ass storms incoming, false equivalence galore, fake MSoft dev clones everywhere, Mort is getting drunk, Matt said that he hasn't said anything, Bish stuck in his bunker because someone locked it from the outside. Just another fine evening at NeoGaf

mortimer, i love you man, I really do, but take a step back and relax please. if you know anything about anything you know that we love your leaks and want you to continue.
that being said:
you're not really trying to take credit for all these things are you? I mean, everyone knew about the PS4 reveal, and multiple people called the X1 reveal coming in May...you weren't the only one going against CBOAT's ps4 october release (many people actually doubted that one). thuway called the CoD 720p (you hinted at it), and Proelite called the OS/XBL problems (you expanded on that).
also:
what does the bolded even mean?
(i'm gonna chalk up part of this stuff up to you maybe being drunk as you said)
and then on your blog:
As of now the Xbox One OS and XBL (the name for the XBL side of Azure is “Thunderhead” are having major issues. Maybe it will be fixed in time, maybe it won’t. The obvious question to me was does this have to do with Microsoft reversing the DRM and having to strip it out (Pete note: That would partially make it my fault and I wouldn’t like that at all)?
it would be as partially your fault as it would be anyone else who didn't pre-order the system.
hope you don't take this the wrong way. I, and many others, do enjoy your leaks and we believe them. And we appreciate you working/putting in the effort to get these leaks.

He doesn't have "problems." What the fuck are problems anyways? And what does that matter? Guy has proven to be a legit source of info.
If he had six toes would it fucking matter, would it be a problem? NO. It's a gaming forum, he's giving out pre-launch fiasco details, everything else is irrelevant. You got a problem with that?
Jeez man, these people...

I laughed harder at this than anything else in this thread.
To weigh in on the OP: If XBL does wind up having major issues, if they move to a per-game VOIP instead of a system-wide cross-game VOIP the way the 360 does, if shit doesn't work right for "months" after launch, then yes this could be a very huge issue.
It's not as simple as "both consoles are going to have glitches at launch, get over it". This is something they had working, and working WELL, working like fucking gangbusters on 360. To have the ONE thing they really had going for them, the ONE thing that Sony was really going to have to step up and prove they did better (aka more like MS/the 360), get screwed up like this is a major blow.
If everything else had been smooth, if the system architecture/power hadn't been inferior, if the Kinect wasn't forced on people, if it weren't $100 freaking more, then this would've been a small hurdle to be overcome.
However, in light of all the other glaring mistakes MS had made with the XB1, then this (if true) could very well turn out to be the death knell for the system. Nobody wants to have to pay $100 more to get inferior hardware, inferior games, AND an inferior network service that is even inferior to what the SAME FREAKING COMPANY had LAST GEN. Come on now.
I hope for MS's sake Mort et al are wrong about this one, but somehow I doubt it.

Isn't that titanfall clip from gamescom... That looks like a video interpretation, not raw recorded footage.

From his own blog post it comes as VoIP API and that you might have issues with players dropping in and out of Party when going from one App/Game to another. It's the only solid thing he explained, everything else was vague, including friend requests not going through. I wouldn't count on it, since you can accept friend requests on xbox.com, SmartGlass App and Xbox App, on Win8, Android or iOS. Why wouldn't it work on One? And yes, even if everything he said won't be fixed weeks after launch it's still fixable unlike the weak and complicated hardware. You can fix API and patch OS, but you can't get extra power from Hardware since they already overclocked it.
I'm going to assume you were fishing for this. It's the only thing that makes sense.
