Support NeoGAF

[Amir0x]

In the first place, if he is so worried about losing his job because of a "review copy", he would never have posted his pictures here. Everyone everywhere reads GAF. That's the first clue. In the second place, you were intentionally avoiding the duty of providing proof. Where is the materials that accompanied the review copy you got? All you seem to have is a blank, sterile cartridge.

If you work for some review site and are worried about divulging this information, provide me the relevant info in PM so I can verify your position as a reviewer with a legitimate copy of Scribblenauts.

 

[Gio_CoD]

Tinypic will work.

Does anyone here actually know what the cartridge art looks like? Is it always the same as the box art?

 

[Baloonatic]

Errr...

fake

 

[GashPrex]

you guys seem a little overprotective of this game

looking forward to messing around with it in a few days...

 

[razdor2k]

I have 20 minutes before my father and I are driving home, and tommorow we won't have the review build, please hurry or youll have to wait for someone else / wait untill release date.

 

[iamcool388]

I told you, ive got my hands on a review build, because my father is kinda the manager here... I don't have much time here... so you guys better give me more outputs

BTW PROOF:

Awesome... thats all it needed.

EDIT: Wait, McBacon, you sure its fake?

 

[Firestorm]

The top right of that picture is amazingly detailed compared to the blurry ass cart art.

Gooooood byyyyye.

 

[Amir0x]

ah, the pic. We have to be very protective of this sort of thing because this is a site for developers and publishers, and they have to feel this is a secure environment to discuss their games without fear of piracy. When you go around posting images of a game a week in advance, and claim you can't post pics of it and you'll lose your job, that's a red alarm.

Gonna have to see it when I get home, but I'm sure GAF detectives will determine whether it is fake or not by the time I get home.

 

[vulva]

wow, you're really giving it your all razor

:lol

 

[razdor2k]

You know what, do whatever you wanted, i just wanted to make some people happy, so i played a little with the start screen and thought about NeoGAF hungry people.

so Ive asked you guys what do you want to see, im sorry now for wasting my play time here for posting in this forum, Going The hell out of here.

 

[Forkball]

Isn't the game rated E10+?

 

[Zerokku]

fake

The pic he showed even has the black portion in the mid-top left next to the "S" from that pic where they guy didn't properly cover the previous cart art.

To see what I'm talking about, check the vgboxart pic, and click it to see a larger version.

 

[Wario64]

That proof is bullshit :lol

Clear pics of the DS with game in action, then a fuzzy pic of the cartridge only? :lol I thought the cartridge wasn't labeled?

 

[-PXG-]

Again. Anyone Near Montclair or Clifton? Newark or Jersey City? Anyone?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Not another countdown timer...

At least this one, we know what's coming!

:lol

 

[HBP]

That is a picture of the US rating system and he said he was in Europe right? I could be wrong though.

Damn you guys are good. Was actually gonna try and defend him but fuck this kid.

BEFORE BAN THREAT:

You guys are pathetic + i can't show you this game cartridge because it don't have any picture on it.

AFTER BAN THREAT:

BTW PROOF:

BEFORE BAN THREAT:

anyway, you think id like to lose my job? its not a pirated version.

AFTER BAN THREAT:

I told you, ive got my hands on a review build, because my father is kinda the manager here...

You got it because of your job, or because your father is a manager? The mystery deepens...

Spoiler

for those who cant put 2 and 2 together. :lol :lol :lol

Oh please, you got called out. >_>

 

[Fuu]

Seriously, someone banzor this dude already so we can get back on track.

 

[rhino4evr]

Looking forward to the eventual hype implosion next week. Some of you have really hyped this up too much. I cant remember the last time an original IP was hyped so much.

Can't wait to play this. I ordered through Amazon. No Rooster hat for me.

edited per suggestion.

Nice, good call. Maybe he works for his father though, and his father has a review copy? :lol

He's probably lying, but I'm going to post this picture. To be fair, I think the cart picture was blurry because the camera focus was on the fabric in the upper right.

Here's a comparison picture, you can see that if it's a fake, it isn't from that box art fake (I'm assuming the box art was fake, didn't look closely):

In particular, the code in the bottom right isn't the same length. *shrug* the little black spot on the left is odd, though.

 

[SuperÑ]

Ooops!

 

[Hawkian]

The pic of the game cart was unfortunately pretty unconvincing.

But let's just drop it, as the banhammer has already come thunderously down on another over on the preview thread, and this is the official one.

Back to scribbley goodness:

no phalanx

:'''(

Hehe. I have an idea for a thread once we all have our hands on the game that I'm sure I won't be able to make as a lowly junior, but maybe somebody else will be able to indulge me.

It'd go something like this: Every post, name one thing that you are disappointed to find doesn't exist in Scribblenauts (or something you expected to find but wasn't there), and one thing that you were surprised to find does exist (something you didn't expect to be there that was).

Might be fun and give lots of ideas of things to try, whaddya say?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Here's a comparison picture, you can see that if it's a fake, it isn't from that box art fake (I'm assuming the box art was fake, didn't look closely):

the box art was fake, for one, and for two NTR-ASHE-USA is Ashphault: Urban GT's game code, so...

also, why would an israeli have a US review copy?

 

[Shiggy]

Pretty bad to see that this game is already available for pirates :/

 

[poweld]

my goodness you guys...the internet is serious business indeed. Who cares if he pirated it. At least he's willing to try your suggestions.

I do. I believe others here do, too. It's illegal and degrades the whole fucking industry. Get your head out of your ass.


On a more positive note, I'm officially super hyped on this

 

[-PXG-]

No one will answer me ;___; That or you all live in NYC.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Looking forward to the eventual hype implosion next week. Some of you have really hyped this up too much. I cant remember the last time an original IP was hyped so much.

I've just cancelled my pre-order in order to curve disappointment. Sorry, but too much of the videos shown just annoy me for not being more awesome. Meat eating Vegetarian included.

 

[Volcynika]

I am many many miles away from you.

(There, an answer!)

 

[iamcool388]

I live in Chelsea area... Manhattan. Penn Station is pretty close to me.

VS. CASSOWARY

My fuckawesome raptor killed the shit out of your weaksauce modern-times cassowary.

 

[Zerokku]

In particular, the code in the bottom right isn't the same length. *shrug* the little black spot on the left is odd, though.

Thats why I called it as such. In the pixelated "pic" it shows some of the same off colors as well as that black spot, as the shop from the vgboxart pic.

 

[-PXG-]

I can get back to from the event, no problem, but getting there is going to be an issue. No trains go through MSU on the weekends. Hmmmm....let me double check.

Oh snap!

Seriously, this is over. Let's get back on track - and let this be a warning to other pirates.

 

[Hawkian]

Uh, I live in Florida. Sorry.

EDIT: Also, insert whine about everybody just going on talking about the fake and no responses to my thread idea. :<

 

[rhino4evr]

LOL, I hope you are joking.

I don't think anyone should cancel pre-orders. I just think it's amazing how long some of you have been on the hype train. I've been posting and lurking in the preview thread for months now, and some of you guys need to get expectations in check. I've seen it come crashing down way too many times (especially on NeoGaf) to want to see it happen again.

That being said, I think people that pirate games are pretty pathetic.

 

[Stumpokapow]

In particular, the code in the bottom right isn't the same length.

well nintendo only has two format types:
NTR-P-XXXX (which it clearly isn't)
NTR-XXXX-USA

and they don't use a variable width font

so, either the code is the same length and the poorly applied blur filter tricked you, or it's a fake code.

this is 5th grade stuff, seriously.

 

[Hawkian]

well nintendo blah blah blah blah blah

Stop talking about it.

He derailed our thread quickly and sufficiently enough already. I don't want Jackson to refrain from posting here ever again.

 

[Stumpokapow]

oh fuck it let's just do the final nail in the coffin

the scribblenauts cartridge art is maxwell with a notepad in his hands (not what the image shows), the ESRB rating is E10+ (not what the image shows), and the cart code is NTR-DSLE-USA (not what the image shows).

enjoy the ban

 

[Hawkian]

*sigh*

Sooo anybody down for my thread idea?

 

[Wario64]

It's funny that 30 minutes ago he said that he had to leave in 20 minutes and that he wouldn't be able to post anything at that time.

According to his profile, he is still lurking online at the moment.

 

[Dorfdad]

NO SHITTING HERE but if you type in NEOGAF in game the logo appears. You can ride it and if you interact with it a boy with a SNES pad on his shirt appears.


Image proof taken on iPhone.

 

[whatdidyousay]

Why are you guys attacking him for having the game? It's been out for 2 days here in NYC already...

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

*sigh*

Sooo anybody down for my thread idea?

Your thread idea is stupid and you have a poopy face and you poop your pants when you make your stupid poopy face.

 

[Hawkian]

Edit 2: My breakdancing bears require reuploading.

Can we please just get back to discussing the game and not this poor fool?

Edit:

Your thread idea is stupid and you have a poopy face and you poop your pants when you make your stupid poopy face.

Damn, you've found me out.

Edit 3:

Glorious.
