Hehe. This thread taught lot people on the timing development. I just cannot believe so many people believe this new independence studio can make a big launch title within 2 years.

All I know is given all the talk and hype this guy better deliver.
Where are the proofs...? If that was the case, MS would have told it ("we co-funded Titanfall...etc") IMHO

That's your forecast, but it doesn't necessarily mean things will turn out that way.
If the independent developers decide to forge their own destiny, then naturally a lot of relationships can change. But we've seen no indication yet for that to be the case with guys like Remedy, Playground and Underground Labs. ( especially the latter, whom recently signed multi-game deal with MS)
Well its going to be awkward looking at this soon....
The worst thing about that thread was that insiders gave the nod that it would happen. Seems that the thread was the only source of insiders.
I've learned my lesson with that.

Not quite so many 'truthfacts' in there

Oh shit.
Yeah I disagree with that statement as well. Third party exclusive will make a comeback but more of the type that are created through funding rather than money hatting.

Interesting. I guess the positive of this is there will be more to differentiate the two consoles. Last gen it seemed they merged into one to me

I don't see what being market leader and being easier to dev for has to do with taking money from a publisher who's willing to fund your project that may not get made otherwise.
Tell us more.
OK, I will say that it will be almost a necessity to own all consoles by the end of 2015. So much is being green lit, from a hungry MS to a Sony that is desperate to stay ahead and from a Nintendo who is still trying to work out how to move its brilliant IPs into mainstream.
Devs and publishers have worked out that genre fatigue is real and is expensive to ignore

Even excluding the 'sekrets known only by the D', I don't see how things are fundamentally different.
We know that MS has pretty much funded several 3rd-party devs into making games for them, and new games of such nature will be introduced at e3.
Sony's no different. Heck, they have entire studios dedicated towards that role. (XDev, Foster, SSM Incubation, Japan Studio External Team )
The day 3rd-party exclusives die out, we'll know since there'll be studio shutdowns at Sony.

I'll be entirely unsurprised if GopherD is promising itsfuckingnothing.gif. Publishers will never work out that genre fatigue is real, and only the desperate would accept moneyhats from Microsoft, knowing that they're going to be missing out on the majority of next-gen gamers.
I'm anticipating a show of stuff that's already revealed, stuff that ntkrnl leaked, and lots of talking about Xbox Originals.

You get a your project paid for and probably some royalties. It's pretty safe for the moneyhatted.
Of course I think it's annoying if they moneyhat a multiplatform publisher's team to do that, but you can't really argue with the publisher deciding to sign up with that.
I think what the platform holders should always do is funding interesting games either by their first party or independent developers. Multiplatform publishers should make multiplatform games.

In an era where big publishers are increasingly focusing their resources on safe bets and reducing their number of retail releases, why wouldn't independent developers accept first-party funding?
Not every developer is Respawn or Insomniac, who are taking the risk of ensuring they own the IP of the game they're making, even though it potentially cuts off many funding avenues or support they will get from publishers.

I used to think he was one of the 'super insiders' but, personally, after hyping up (TGS?) and the Sony launch day event with "gamer's speeches" we all read into (because of his special insider aura) nothing happened so stock is down.

He is a valid Insider mostly on Sony Games. But he is not very outspoken or speaks in metaphoras.

You remember the 8-bit and 16-bit days when the consoles were completely different. I miss that. The Mega Drive and Snes had a completely different look, sound and games library. I liked that. It was always fun as a kid seeing the console you didn't own at a mates house or whatever and it being so different to what you already knew. The 360 and PS3 generation had none of this, the games all looked the same. Except Bayonetta...
E3 is going to be fascinating this year, competition has never been fiercer and Microsoft aren't going to take the round one knock down well, expect them to come out swinging big time and Sony to of course counter.
Meanwhile Nintendo have fallen off the radar of the mainstream again after so much success with the Wii. Wonder what they have in store.

Once you've tasted the sweetness of access to all exclusive titles you'll never go back.
Something Something 2 exclusive to Xbox One then, huh?

Hm okay
So it would be reasonable to infer that anything he/she says about MS or Nintendo is hearsay at best?

I too am guessing MS will have another Capcom exclusive
that and the Platinum game
that and the Platinum game
Well i wouldn't say this. As a Sonyinsider you still no what you are not getting and which publishers produce what and for whom. I think he is legit.
This generation is the first time I've ever done this. And it's glorious. Great way to kill your inner-fanboy.

On the other hand, massive opportunity cost of not being on the PS4, which is currently demolishing the Xbone in terms of unit sales worldwide, and generally speaking PS4 versions of multiplatform games outsell Xbone versions. Hence why I said only the desperate would accept a Microsoft moneyhat.
[Edit] Oh yeah, GopherD is that jackass who was hyping TGS and Sony's launch event, and in both cases we got nothing? Yeah, ignore him, he knows less than famousmortimer.

To be a "super insider" do you have to have blonde spiky hair?

You're also an insider, can you give us some hints/leaks?
