meta is one of the worst posters I have seen on neogaf. So much hyperbole without any substance...the guy posts bull shit left and right without any substance. The bs he spounted in the god of war thread was so fucking annoying argh

he reminds me of zapages and his stories of four inch aliens in pakistan

Well, I wanted to go shopping now anyway. If no one else has the magazine at hand, I'll try to verify his story (if I find the magazine, that is).

I very much doubt that the magazine is lying though, it's more likely that "his sources" are made up. M! Games is normally pretty reliable and will celebrate this its 20th year on the market this year. Faking a preview would be a first for them.

Can't he just transcribe what is written? Either post it verbatim here and let German GAF at it, or PM it to a mod?
 
Does this upset anyone who thinks input lag is good?

Yeah, put your money where your mouth is input lag lubbers, you better not support this 'lowest common denominator' clone game because cod invented low input lag and warhammer copied gears of war and tribes? PFFF more like halo :ascend'

We can take care of the verification.

In the meantime, what I'll like to know is how the OP constructed all those details. What is from the magazine, what is from the "source", and what are the major lies? Obviously there's something misleading going on here, but let's assign the blame fairly. The guy who created this thread is entirely to blame for jumping the gun with a super fanboy angle on second and third hand information though. :p

I've already PM'd him. We're going to see where it goes from here.

I was avoiding this thread because I Im trying to stay away from TLOU info but that thread title change....damn. *subscribes*
 
yea who to believe? A no name mag from Germany, or the guy working for Naughty dog?
Pretty sure ND claimed there were no control issues with Uncharted 3. Fortunately, a few Gaf members were able to pay them a visit to point out to them their error (which was originally denied), and ND later fixed it in a patch.

Although I have a ton of faith in ND, I think this week has been a good lesson for not always taking devs at their word.

Lol, crazy ass thread.

Anyways, game is sounding very interesting (I think?). Still somewhat wary, but hopefully it turns out good.
 
Sounded promising. I liked a lot of the concepts described in the OP. Turns out that it is all likely fake and now this sounds like a mess of epic proportions.

They've been a magazine for 20 years, are well known and have been accurate in the past. Not sure what's going on but they're far from "no name".

No disrespect, but until someone from Germany got to this thread no one had heard of them.

So yeah, they seem like a pretty no name publication in the grand scheme.

What was the original title of the thread? The current one definitely caught my eye!

Really looking forward to this game. Uncharted 3 left me a bit underwhelmed, but I think that's mostly because 2 was imo one of the best games this gen.
