If it were any more next-gen, it would be next-gen.
Lmao. That made me chortle.

I can confirm that both X1 and PS4 UIs will have fixes and redesigns across the next years.
I have my sources.
I didn't miss the point. I clearly stated that I've never repeated a cboat (or any other "insider") scoop as my own and that all of mine have come from people inside the industry. Why did you choose to skip that part of what I wrote?
I think you don't like what Im saying and think that attacking me will make it wrong... but that's not how it works.
Simply repeating information from anonymous sources is extremely prone to abuse. The guy who said that the XB1 was very unstable - what happened to him? Nothing. He got the message he wanted out there, and when it turned out to be false there were no repercussions.
I'm sorry, are you a mod? Your name doesn't seem to be red.
If you don't want to read my shit, fine. Don't read it. I've been right about dozens of things this year. HUGE THINGS. I was posting about Knack and Driveclub before anyone had ever heard the names. I posted about Killer Instinct coming and it not being from Rare. I posted 12 of the 15 games that MS showed at E3. I've posted TONS of Vita games before they were announced.
Sometimes I post stuff and something behind the scene changes. Should I not post info anymore because that happens sometimes? Seriously?
Cboat is whats causing alot of the hostility towards fort, because he was wrong about alot of stuff about XB1's launch. oh PS4 in Oct.
why would this take a year? for one of the largest software development companies in the world?
One have two major qualms about GAF insiders including Mort:
1. They aren't insiders and they know far less than any actual insider does.
2. At this point anyone talking to Mort has to know that he is going to share that info with everyone, which calls into question their motivation and also makes it very easy to use him as a conduit for information they want public.
That first issue is just one of somewhat misleading billing. The second one is the key. Judith Miller repeated Iraq information from anonymous sources that told her exactly what she wanted to hear and exactly what they wanted the public to hear. In short she was used, or allowed herself to be used, to convey messages to the public as part of a PR campaign.
When someone tells Mort than the XB1 is unstable and crashing a lot who are they and why are they saying it?
Are they an MS employee that loves MS and the XB1? Probably not. Are they a disgruntled MS employee, someone who wants to see the XB1 fail, a guy at a developer competing with the XB1, someone who gets a kick out of seeing the information they shared go viral? Probably something along those lines.
Any time anyone shared secret info with Mort they must be thinking about it going public and what that means, and must want it to go public. Maybe it started as a guy who knows some people in the industry who share tidbits, but at this point it has to be people using him to get across what they want.

Seriously mods lock this thread
The originator of the information has been shown to have been wrong on everything to do with this issue...he wasn't allowed to post the original information on neogaf for a reason because its hearsay's hearsay and there is no corroborating information
Lock it
Even funnier when the verge confirmed the news
Uhh except isn't it pretty broken? My understand is there's lots of crashes and glitches.

This is the correct TL;DR summary of the entire thread.Fuck it, at least they're fixing it it's working sometimes atm.

Name what Cboat was wrong about? The twitch delay was corroborated by Bish after it came out and that was just ONE of the issues cboat told him about. Everything else has not been posted yet to my knowledge because he was told to wait.
Mate, you need to ease up with the persecution complex. I'm not attacking you
In essence, it is almost EXACTLY how it was on the PS3, and it is in those API handshakes that is breaking the online experience.
Cboat is whats causing alot of the hostility towards fort, because he was wrong about alot of stuff about XB1's launch. oh PS4 in Oct.
You sure about that one, Pancake Typo Man?
Cboat never rumored anything about Twitch being delayed. His rumor about there not being streaming was a reference to the fact that the gamescom MS presentation wasn't going to be streamed.
Uhh except isn't it pretty broken? My understand is there's lots of crashes and glitches.
Edit: A lot of what Mort says comes off to me as basically true, but worded more dramatically than is warranted to make fairly normal issues sound major. It's like how Kotaku contacts the 8 most disgruntled laid-off workers at a dev and prints their office gossip as some sort of expose, billing the sort of stuff you hear at literally every developer (the upper management is fickle and asks for irrelevant changes!) as serious issues.
So alpha tested today?
Who is this Ben Kuchera? I keep finding news about this dude and I have no idea who he is!Feels like Ben Kuchera sent a swat team into this thread.
Major said that it would fixed "soon"Where did Nelson say that they are working on fixing the party? I haven't seen it anywhere and would be glad to know that they are trying to make it work right instead of rumors..
Here you can read what Nelson said.Where did Nelson say that they are working on fixing the party? I haven't seen it anywhere and would be glad to know that they are trying to make it work right instead of rumors..
Holy shit at the attack on Mort! Talk about killing the messenger.
Why are some of you guys so mean?
Yes, I'm not calling him a lying sack of shit or anything. I'm simply saying that surely he can see why people would be distrustful of his "sources" after he's admitted one of them is CBOAT.
Here you can read what Nelson said.

I haven't experienced any functionality crashes and glitches except with BF4, and that shit is entirely on DICE.
Not the same thing.Even funnier when the verge confirmed the news
