Well he did call them fans, not fanboys. I however prefer the term 'evangelists'.
The church of Cell is closing soon.
The church of GDDR5 is now open for business.
Being pro MS will only give you... Always online, no used games..
And...

Some posters are going through hell right now. You can easily see who they are. They never thought this would happen. Be gentle.This thread is all over the place, Now the Durango all of a sudden have a HD 7790 inside?
We have leaks from different sources telling a different story.
Guess some will believe anything at this point.

Ever since the PS4 was rumored to end up with a beefier GPU, people have desperately been trying to make it look more powerful (higher clocked CPU, "doubled" performance for Jaguar, ...).
Any word on your end about the topic of this thread (always on = internet required or not required) or topics related (is this DRM against used)?A whole bunch of posters are often a slight bit "too optimistic", given the power envelope and what we know/knew.
It is odd how people seem to think owning more systems makes them more capable of reasoned rational thought.Means about as much as a racist claiming he has black friends.
Just sayin
you didn't have to.Il just repost my post from the other thread.
And?
I bet all those people you called "fanboys" probably own both consoles too.
TeamRayTracingChips up in dis bitch.
Please note, I don't believe in such stupid shit.
Why cant durango be Wee man and the ps4 the bar.
This is tearing GAF apart!

The funny thing is even with the 7790 it will be weaker then the ps4 GPU.
But some people have this need for the PS4 to be WAY MORE POWERFUL than the 720. Any talk of the 720 being close to the power of the glorious PS4 must be shot down immediately....lol. I don't really care which is more powerful, I'm getting both regardless.

What? This thread is all over the place.Well, they are almost 20 years virgin. It is easy to tell the desperate to break the virgin, and don't want to wait next generation.

:lolDude (no offence) but you've been at the head of every Durango rumor being posted in this thread. You've been at the head of PS4 having a huge latency, You've been at the head of PS4 not having that big of a difference in performance compared to the rumored Durango specs so don't play that console wars card.
Because;Again, what do you care though? If there is no rumor or source to back it up, then it's not really worth the argument. Let them speculate while you guys are safe in the Knowledge that the PS4 is superior. I just don't get why all of a sudden people are so serious about smacking down speculation now, (when there was plenty of crazy speculation of the other console before it's specs were finally confirmed.) and make sure to do so in any and every thread.

We should all strive for accuracy. If something is "rumor" where the rumor comes from and how many sources it has is important. We should not get into conspiracy theory nonsense and discuss any hair-brained idea that someone read on a forum somewhere. I stick to data that has some trustworthy sources, the rest is garbage. So far we seem to have plenty to work with, going outside of those facts is just wishful thinking. It is ever so easy for someone's personal fantasy to get posted and to be picked up by a person, re-posted and then spread around endlessly as "rumor". You all may think it is harmless, but some of us adults are trying to raise the signal to noise, not just the noise.
SuperDaE continues to shoot down always online DRM rumors.

Sounds to me like he's just stating his opinion rather than disconfirming it.
That comes from the rumors of edge, that durango will have to be online to function.I'm not going to read the whole 28-page thread but is there a reason for people to think that "always connected" means online-based DRM? Because the way I read the "always on, always connected" is simply an optional thing that will make the console work like current smartphones - if you have a Wi-fi and synchronization turned on, the system automatically updates games/apps, receives messages and news, probably synchronizes saves and contact lists etc. in the background, even when the console is in the "sleep" state, without the need for player to do so manually (i.e. no more situations like: start a game, wait for a bunch of patches to download and install).
There's no mention of any DRM or even that the constant online connection is required in that document in the OP.

SuperDaE is a reliable source now, is this correct? Since he was the first to show the Matrix-style background.

It needs to be announced ASAP rather than asking for a answer to gossip from a obnoxious kid
Sometimes he's being honest, sometimes he's trolling.
He definitely wasn't trolling with the Durango Alpha stuff.

From day 1 he was the only guy doing "PR" for Durango. lol
I still think this is all marketing from MS. He could have revealed a lot more info than he has.

I can't see it myself
You're probably right.
I'm just going through his tweets and it's hard to decipher what he thinks of the machine.. I haven't seen him compare its power with the competition, yet he keeps indicating old docs/files are out there; his most recent tweet about it is from March 20..https://twitter.com/superDaE/status/314417662027501569
Are you forgetting the early posts from Proelite, Karak and Gies? They were always pro Microsoft. Even pit Durango over Orbis in terms of performance.
I'd probably avoid eating and drinking certain things out of your refrigerator and freezer.
Just to be safe.

I believe if there is one guy who is basing his opinions on very old documents it's probably SuperDae.
He is not an insider, he doesn't have MS connections. People on the gaming press who ran his leaks have distanced themselves from him.
He just socially hacked some MS employees passwords and got one of the first models of the dev kits.
What else did he got in the meantime? What new info? As far as I know nothing. Things could have changed for better or worse in the meantime and he would not have a clue.
I could be mistaken, but this very thread is based on the documents he released. And I think provide the genesis for pretty much all info we know about Durango currently.
All of that is possible, cubed ram will be ready by the end of the year and modifying 2 low cost mid-range gpus to run as one is better and less expensive than making one super powerful gpu, it's what cpu devs have been doing for years.
