Official dementi of CBOATs claim from Respawns community manager Abbie Heppe:

"We’re not dropping the resolution for launch. Nothing has changed from what we’ve said in recent interviews."

DualShockers

Lock ... if you want.

 

[McDougles]

As the only reviewer to give Other M a 2/5 at embargo, I'm prone to trust her.

CBOAT faith is waning.

 

[EL CUCO]

But are they upping it?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Twist: It was 720p all along.

 

[border]

What else has CBOAT been wrong about?

 

[Chobel]

What the hell happened to you cboat?

 

[Milennia]

What else has CBOAT been wrong about?

They called him out on the alpha textures being final as well.

 

[ElTorro]

 

[SwiftDeath]

And cboat's seemingly self-implosion begins?

What the hell happened to you cboat?

He seems to have gone off the rails since right around launch tbh

 

[NullPointer]

 

[David___]

CBOAT :'(

 

[maabus1999]

CBOAT faith is waning.

He actually might have committed GAF account suicide with this one. Maybe intentional, who knows, but last year was pretty rough for many of his "predictions" to be frank.

 

[RedAssedApe]

purposeful account suicide is my guess. its like the xfiles...someone got to himmmm

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

CBOAT been fell off.

 

[Revolutionary]

What the hell happened to you cboat?

Being fed the wrong information to weed him out...

Watch your tracks cboat!

 

[Bgamer90]

Welp. Deuces Cboat.

Anyway, looking forward to the launch.

 

[AngryMoth]

Cboat really sticking his neck out here

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I'm surprised he's sticking to that alpha texture comment even after the beta. I guess we'll see soon enough.

 

[makingmusic476]

Remember the days when cboat posted infrequently and his record was flawless?

What the hell happened? And why'd he go all in on this one?

 

[The Flash]

Perfection

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Something seems off here. This is the second time CBOAT has adamantly stated this with plenty proof to the contrary. Why?

And even if it was an account suicide, why not just ask for a ban?

I also find shinobi602s departure rather strange.

 

[Squire]

Is this how a Titan falls?

 

[antitrop]

He actually might have committed GAF account suicide with this one. Maybe intentional, who knows, but last year was pretty rough for many of his "predictions" to be frank.

Well, at least he will always have been right about Dead Space 3.

 

[Mechanized]

Methinks a select few people have been fed false info as a means to narrow down who cboat is. That's how it always goes.

 

[maabus1999]

They called him out on the alpha textures being final as well.

Didn't just call him out, but a Respawn employee GAFer basically challenged him to a "ban bet." Which I don't think is necessary as I have a feeling his time is about to end.

 

[StuBurns]

I wonder if MS spread misinformation to staff to see who would leak something so they could bust them.

Anyway, they should drop the resolution, the performance and tear frequency was weak, they clearly need additional fillrate.

 

[Chobel]

I can't see the Eltorro gif. 502 Bad Gateway

 

[SwiftDeath]

Remember the days when cboat posted infrequently and his record was flawless?

What the hell happened? And why'd he go all in on this one?

I'm going with the account suicide idea. No way someone in the industry for likely 10+ years at a high level would purposely go all out on the texture claim if he didn't want to kill his own credibility for whatever reason

 

[SEGAvangelist]

OMG

 

[EL CUCO]

I can't see the Eltorro gif. 502 Bad Gateway

Buttocks roadkill :'(

 

[Squire]

Something seems off here. This is the second time CBOAT has adamantly stated this. Why?

Probably because he trusts whoever he's hearing this from without question when they are in fact incorrect or lying.

 

[GavinGT]

Well, at least he will always have been right about Dead Space 3.

"Dead Space 3 will be shootbangs" is the greatest leak ever.

They even named an achievement in the game after it.

 

[Insane Metal]

LOL, that's perfect.

 

[Erimriv]

Coming soon on neogaf: "The rise and fall of Cboat". The thread of all threads.

It was a good ride.

 

[weeeeezy]

Someone at MS is trying to find the leak. They give bad info to a select few people to try and narrow down who the leaker is. I'm just guessing here....

 

[Freki]

Call me crazy but this doesn't make sense.
In my opinion cboat is doing this on purpose in order to discredit himself. Maybe he was given the choice that it's either that or legal action against him... why would he double down on the alpha textures stuff after the beta clearly showed better textures...

 

[Bungie]

But are they upping it?

I highly doubt it, by this point we would know but Titanfall & news just don't seem to mix.

 

[Dabanton]

Sorry, but the texture thing sticks in my craw as something incredibly stupid, considering we just saw the beta textures and there was a visual upgrade. We can reopen this conversation when Titanfall is released and proper comparisons can be performed.

720p and Party Chat may not be enough to save this account from the banstick.

In case anyone missed it...

[Coolwhip]

Why do so many people want to see the guy banned? He can't always be right, he is giving you some insider rumours. What's wrong with that.

 

[Ape]

10/10

>.<

e: Didn't say anything about the textures!!!

 

[mreddie]

Twist: It was 720p all along.

IT'S 720! IT WAS 720 ALL ALONG, AUSTIN!

Possible I guess. Especially after these past few months.

Smart idea.

 

[RedAssedApe]

doesn't cboat usually confer with bish or some other mods before posting?

 

[Victrix]

Because they create massive threads of FUD?

Ya.. he's done for on this one. Saw someone write that he's trying to throw people off with false rumors now or something like that... because they're close to him. Not sure how true that is. .but come on. The Betas textures were already better than the Alphas. Not sure why TF has so many people getting so riled up.

Oh, it's a good guess.

 

[GavinGT]

I don't even see the party chat thing coming to fruition, seeing as how they've already invited people to test out the March update.

 

[213372bu]

According to CBoAT the reason they were dropping textures/res was because of an issue they were working on. If Respawn is going to commit with what he says the final product we may receive won't have the FPS that many are going to love.

I honestly hope the Xbox One launch of the game goes well, but with the beta being so close to launch it seems that there were way too many FPS/crashing issues with just the few rounds I could play.

 

[Guevara]

1. Microsoft found CBOAT
2. They kept it quiet
3. Now Microsoft is using his own account to discredit him
