That's why many try to stay anonymous so they can speak openly.

But then we'd miss the opportunity to stick it to them when it becomes clear that they're totally full of shit. I'd say it's worth letting them in just for the satisfaction of maybe seeing them banned for bs.
That definitely says more about Microsoft than it does about Tim Dog imo. >_<
Even the most hardcore fanboys are questioning their mighty lord's design choices.
Most of us wonder why you guys even started talking about an issue where you cannot possibly win anything, not to mention the many nonsensical, strategical tech-related talking-points that you came up with like "the power of the cloud", "balance" and "outputs 1080p".

The reality is, if he can't talk about such things, he never should have waded into such discussions to begin with and tried to downplay the potential differences. That goes in general for Microsoft's messaging; stick to your system's strengths - specs isn't one of them.

This is what Nintendo was promising for "Project Reality"

Thank Christ.
But cant he keep up the lie ( if its a legit lie that he didn't know about it) forever?
He lied about telling the truth, if he is telling the truth what more can he do to prove it?
Wont people just continue to call them lies? I understand that it hurts their image as a whole, but cant they just say that he didn't know about it and never speak of it again... Seems like theres no real way out.
Im not defending, I'm talking rationally.
Man, I hope the Xbone can live up to this!
Once again Albert, thanks again for sticking around even when you are not appreciated by most.
You seem like a good sport under extraordinary circumstances. I've seen a lot of launches but the "new" internet and twitter has changed things drastically...it's crazy what people expect these days, demand even.
It was more fun in the old days when we waited and found things out on our own or in little trickles or as we actually experienced the machines and decided our opinions with our own eyes when we got the machines home..

Oh man, sax solos. I miss the 90s sometimes.
But FUD is a strength of theirs. The more bullshit and misinformation they can sow, the better for them. Penello isn't here to answer questions. He's here to spout PR talking points and vague half truths.
Just ignore his posts if you're that offended, for Chrissakes. Is it really that terrible to get some involvement from platform holders here, even if you don't like what they have to say?
Some of the posts on these last couple pages ...

What I'm say is him and the other MS spin doctors are just continuing to compound the damage by opening their mouth in the first place, saying nothing is infinitely better them coming out with Tales from their ass and then getting caught in their own double speak and untruths.
And they paid for it, BIGTIME. The negative buzz (well sort of) surrounding the X1 just keeps on goin. Just let it go guys, it's really not worth it IMO. Not directed to you btw.

Tell me where on this site they could comment and it wouldn't go to complete shit as soon as they did. They're stuck unless they want to go to the OT.
The only one I've seen contribute on a regular basis is the creator of 5th Cell.
What's crazy about expecting a bit of honesty? I don't expect Microsoft PR to come out and say the PS4 is more powerful, but don't try and downplay the differences and instead pretend there aren't any, or simply misinform or invent (cloud computing for graphics and 40x more power, Microsoft maths etc). At least not on a public forum like this where users know better.
As someone else said, just stick to your strengths.

Comment on the UI and kinect functionality?
Those discussions usually go pretty well although the whole representative UI video thing not so much I guess
To be fair to Albert, what he can actually say is probably pretty limited. It's pretty unlikely that any employee of a company who's taking the time to interact with potential customers is going to say something like "yeah, our compeditor's console is way more powerful and games will look better on it." He probably should not have even addressed specs, or at least be honest and say that specs were not the top priority of the Xbox One or that the vision Microsoft had for the system was not to simply put out the most powerful hardware. He sorta backed himself into a corner by trying to get detailed about the specs and downplay the differences.... Which is not going to work on a forum with a lot of tech savvy people.
If Sony were in Microsoft's position I'd imagine they would do the same thing to some degree. I mean some of the PR spin when the PS3 was coming out was just as embarrassing. These companies need to be humble. Otherwise the fans will tear them apart.

What makes you think I was talking about you?
Indeed, i too don't understand this.
I understand that they need to speak to attempt and fix the damage cause this year... But they way they are going about it, by stating things they may not even know is fact is just putting a bad taste in my mouth.
Yes, it is a problem when they are using there inside information as fact to shill disingenuous information about rival product.
if Albert only acts like many great community managers of many developers here on GAF. No one will have any problem with his antics. This is his own doing. don't blame gaf
I share your sentiment for the most part. Albert's got thick skin and I'm sure he's a stand up guy when not on duty. I feel nostalgic about older times with you, but it was because the circumstances were so different back then that they were simpler.

What an absolutely shocking turn of events. Klocker enters the fray to defend the FUD posts by an employee of his console manufacturer of choice. Do they pay you for this shit? I can't think of any other reason someone would defend the absolute misinformation that we've been fed from day one. Unless you're actually a sentient mushroom, in which case you'd love being kept in the dark and fed shit.

You're right, we have two games on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of scope/scale in BF4 and COD. Both are 720p on the Xbox. I find it so hard to believe that COD can't achieve at least 900p on the Xbox that I think it has to be a development tools issue. There's no other explanation with COD looking as shitty as it does.
imagine the incredible framerate at 1p.

You two do realize that without the internet most people even us dedicated fans on here would likely have to buy the consoles at launch (if we wanted to buy at launch) with so much less information on them going in right?
Why would you prefer to be less informed about an upcoming purchase that you have to live with for 5 - 8 years?

Are you sure he said that? Maybe we're just misremembering it...
He's clearly not PR, so I wonder why he can't explain why all the stuff he told us about his own product turned out to be bullshit.

Hey Albert if you're still there. What exactly did you mean when you said this (way back when)?

I asked that question twice now and he's disappeared each time. This has to suck for him and most of the MS employees. They have to try to make the most of the crappy decisions their executives made. I honestly want to know the answer. I'm not looking to throw sand.
How dare people being more informed and demanding more for their money.
You read Kagari's post wrong.
Not true. Ps2 delivered a huge number of 60 fps games many of which were the most impressive looking games on the system. They certainly weren't limited to 240p.

Easy take a hammer to the PS4 and bam weaker console is more powerful

I think he is PR. He wouldn't join GAF if his role didn't rely on an element of communicating with the public.

No I didn't.
Just pointing out how full of shit the guy is.
Sorry, if my sarcasm didn't come through in my post.

Yeah, I'll just copypasta what I've said before:
The idea that he or Jaffe or J Stevenson or Pachter or any of the other industry people who post on here should be held to any different standard or given any special treatment is odd.
If they choose to post here, their posts are subject to the same scrutiny as everyone else's.

Couple that with how hard it is to distinguish between posts filled with wishful thinking/mental gymnastics and sarcasm, and it really becomes difficult to know what to think
