Believe it when I see it
Started distrust of this account straight after the day the MS leak with news of actual games got out and there was a bit of positivity, within minutes there it was with a new thread with negative rumours. The timing stunk and was suspicious to say the least.
If it's all true then Microsoft deserve the shit they get but I can't help but feel something's going on

How the hell is Party Chat not on the Xbox One yet?

Nah.
Crazy has been around a very very long time he will get stuff wrong like other insiders have.
To improve performance. I've only played the PC version of the beta, but I've heard the framerate suffers on the Xbox One when there are a lot of titans.

The working man's textures.
About the way I see it as well.
Not at all. I'm hoping the 360 version is 60 FPS locked or extremely stable and I believe Bluepoint won't disappoint.
It's been there since day one. Although the whole system is totally different and people find it confusing and awkward, so it's being overhauled in an update.
There's a great reason -- the framerate in the beta was awful.
Still having a hard time believing it, though. Wouldn't the resolution drop be enough to fix the framerate?
Wow, those are some ass storm rumors.
720p? Don't know whether to believe this. And according to Mr. Eagle from MS the xbone can do 1080p/60fps. Though obviously if 792p is already too much for a stable framerate they might drop down to get at least the stable framerate right.
Partychat still broken? Could be. Mr. Eagles statement is ambigous on this ("improved" doesn't mean fixed)
Alpha textures? Could be the same reason as with 720p, downgrade graphics to improve framerate. Though I cannot believe there is no room for performance improvement (well, they could have run out of time).
That will be an interesting March. Infamous looking and performing much much better than Titanfall, but Titanfall outselling Infamous at least 2:1 (probably 4:1). Looking forward to the DF verdict.

Looks like this one is the big one to determine how the majority of GAF sees cboat going forward. He will always hold insider status but he's betting quite a bit on this one with that texture claim

I'm responding to the textures and It seems unlikely that the alpha textures would show up in the final but CBOAT would likely know more than I do. I don't think its unreasonable to skeptical of cboat on this one though. Especially when the devs straight up said otherwise.
And not make any sense, since there's been an open beta. Bandwidth required for higher quality textures at 60fps is still not significant, not even for that DDR3. Those textures were horrible for other reasons. They might just be shitty textures.
Unless it's a misinterpretation and he's talking about the transparencies. Still makes little sense.
GAF, just a warning. Do NOT google that.
But why would he double down on that? Unless he knows it's BS and this is all a deliberate attempt at discrediting himself. Maybe MS caught him and this is the alternative to legal repercussions...

Beta textures downgrade ?

The best part of this rumour is that we'll find out its veracity very soon.

No worries, I just read somewhere on here that is dipped to 35-40fps when a few titans were involved. Maybe it isn't true.

I don't know if the drops really were that bad but I doubt respawn would talk about even the possibility of improving the resolution even further this close to launch if they were actually downgrading.
I almost would be in the camp that expects texture downgrade to fix fps but i'm no technical expert.
If the final release is 720p consider me surprised.

"framerate is king"
The only reason the textures could be worse in the final game is if they purposefully made them better in the Beta and expected people to say "well, it's Beta" when it came to the framerate.
CBOAT doesn't seem to confident about the textures, so I can't see it being true.
Why not? People accepted the 792p beta and it shut everyone up asking about resolution. Now it's time to downgrade back to 720p for better framerate.
Now I don't know what to think...

But I like Lightning
.I have no idea, would 792 -> 720 really impact framerate that much?
I agree. Plus somebody's credibility will take a major hit (RS or CBOAT).
If 720p means we get a constant 60FPS then I can live with that.
Yep ...its garbage...they were much, much better for the Beta..
I guess cboat didn't play the beta
Not that I plan on owning a Xbox One anytime soon but that sucks, bad. I'll pick this up on PC when it reaches a sale but I'm honestly shocked for those with an Xbox one.
I mean weren't there official PR statements saying otherwise, in regards to the Xbox* versions? That's not legal if true. Also, not saying anything on the matter and keeping fingers crossed that everything will be fine at launch is rediculous.
That is if cboat is right.
And to those reacting to cboat saying that they're trying to fix it until launch... umm duh?
Many games are coming out nowadays with that stuff happening. Hell DR3 just got a patch that fixed/improved some textures. And on a bigger level Battlefield 4 was released with game breaking bugs and all of the above.
It is more than believable it's happening on a rushed game that is being overyhyped by Xbox.

Yes, and today new bundle, people getting excited about the console and another negative cboa post
I don't know this guy agenda, but the timing is indeed very suspicious.

Yep, major. Only when titans started appearing, but yes major. I say that with my TF One version pre-order in hand, with over 20 hours of the Beta under my belt. The shit was hella fun, but atrocious once the Titans arrived. Framerate was butter smooth with just pilots and bots, but as soon as the first Titan falls, things would get progressively worse, then go up and down over the course of the rest of a round.

I dipped noticably once in last titan standing but I would rather keep the textures.
Your post doesn't make any sense.
Dude the beta happened like a week ago. How is that 3.5 months away from launch?
Who's RS?
The comment about the alpha textures makes no sense whatsoever as they were genuinely dreadful and just a placeholder to test the networking of the game. There's zero chance those would ever be final in any version of the game.
One thing I find most interesting is with just over four weeks to go we've still not even seen a single screenshot of the 360 version.

It feels that way to me. That cboat is almost trying to blow his credibility on purpose

Dangerous things happen when a buttocks collides with a xbone. I don't see why they would downgrade the textures from the beta when the beta ran fine from most accounts, except when inside titans.

I'm not going to believe this immediately but it could be one of the reasons the 360 has been put back a week. If there isn't that much of a difference between the versions, it wouldn't shift any consoles, so it makes sense to give the X1 a weeks head start.
I get that, though CBoaT's history of accuracy is pretty spot on, I don't really know why he'd have a reason to stake his reputation on the textures like that unless he was certain. If he's wrong, he's wrong, but "Framerate is King" and if framerate was suffering as badly as it seemed to during the beta, some drastic measures being taken doesn't seem that unreasonable.
The beta build was locked down mid-December.
Just assuming, but maybe, beta lock down date != beta release date?
