Kevin Dent Issue Clarification on Xbox One, CoD: Ghosts 720p Resolution, Embargo And More

Kevin Dent has finally issued a pretty long clarification on recent Xbox One and Call of Duty: Ghosts 720p resolution issues.

[black0o]

cool story bro

[Rikitatsu]

Who the heck is Kevin Dent?

[xPhearR3dx]

Some crappy game dev who thinks he someone.

[MysticStrummer]

Finally! I've been waiting to hear what Kevin Dent had to say, on this and many other subjects.

/s

Never heard of him.

[awesomeperson]

These claims were dismissed by Famousmortimer and CBOAT.

[guitarded77]

Interesting post, but yeah... I had to look up who Kevin Dent is too.

[cleft5]

Basically, this guy released a big long statement that doesn't amount to a whole lot. Also, the whole fact that he has come out and openly said he is pro-Xbox is just silly.

I expect developers with integrity to remain neutral and not behave like fanboys. Also, it's pretty classless to dismiss people concerns over 720p or 1080p. Not everyone is rolling in money and people do like to make informed decisions. This guy didn't help the situation at all, he just discredited himself and add flames to the fire.

[mike32UK]

@cleft5 I don't think he was saying that he favours the XB1... Just that he doesn't have a negative view on the system like some others seem to. At least, that's what I gathered from that comment!

[majiebeast]

Probably the biggest douche in the industry him and Phil Fish are still battling that out.

http://tumblinfeminist.tumb...

@Mike

No he is pretty biased towards Microsoft and Cboat called him out for spreading bs and famousmortimer just tore him a new one.

[BattleAxe]

Hmm, must be Harvey Dent's son....Batman sequel anyone?

[Brix90]

"I am pro-Xbox from a developer perspective and I know a lot of my fellow devs feel the same way"

Couldn't tell /s...some parts of the article were little bias even though he was saying he supports both.

[HugoDrax]

EDIT: Removed comment because it was like what @BattleAxe said hahahaha, sorry.

[Real_gamer]

@xphearr3dx oh yeah he's crappy dev because he's saying something against ps4 but if it was indie devs praising ps4 which only made $10 games it would be truth. I never seen fan boys being too selfish and ignorant and butthurt like u

[UltimateMaster]

@MajieBeast
http://tumblinfeminist.tumb...
Damn, what a douche!

[4Sh0w]

"That said, Sony are not stupid, they have already said that they will remove the HDCP restrictions –to paraphrase “We get it, you want this and we will resolve this issue after launch”."

"Actually you can capture on both devices on day one, but if you want to do post production i.e. voiceover or edits –as most journo’s need to do, hence the video element of the review- you have to use the Xbox."

"I have two dogs in this race, I want both consoles to succeed because that means that I make more money and then I can make more games."

"That said, right now I am pro-Xbox from a developer perspective and I know a lot of my fellow devs feel the same way.

The reason for this is not because Steve Balmer makes my toes curl, it’s just a simple case of economics:

Developer costs using a smallish studio as an example:

Xbox One Dev Kits 10 X $500.00= $5,000.00

Sony PS4 Dev kits 10X $2,500.00= $25,000.00

OK so here we have a industry guy using his real name NOT ANONYMOUS and you guys cherry picked his comment to say he's biased and unprofessional but NO he said from a money perspective hes pro xbox because dev costs are cheaper, he also noted the hdcp restrictions sony has and he did also say sony has given dev kits out for free however that isnt for all the little studios.

This sounds like the Machimina thing where they exposed the hdcp mess and everyone went nuts calling them liars but it turned out to be true this basicly just goes further into to that, so it seems. Its funny this double standard though this named industry guy basicly calls out sony for bad policy and its hes a liar, I see some saying no its been confirmed otherwise but no links specifically saying different, but any negative rumor about micro is 100% fact.

[LetoAtreides82]

4show Kevin Dent obviously knows nothing about what the dev units cost. He claims the Xbone dev units are $500, are you kidding me?

[SITH]

Well judging by the obvious sony boys comments before I read the article, I could already tell it was saying something good about Xbox.

Yep, as I figured.

[3-4-5]

Bucky's brother

[ShwankyShpanky]

"Xbox One Dev Kits 10 X $500.00= $5,000.00

"Sony PS4 Dev kits 10X $2,500.00= $25,000.00"

Good point... if it were true. Sony is giving devkits to indies for free, and the 'every Xbone is a devkit' thing has no implementation date in sight. Pretty much the opposite of what Dent's claiming.

So yeah... good news for Xbone... if any of it were based in reality.

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

Harvey Dents brother.

[strifeblade]

@xPhear

Oh you mean like the 99% of indie console devs that say OMGZ PS4 IS BEST EVERZ!

You mean like those crappy game devs?

lololololool

[JunioRS101]

The latest Don Mattrick probably.

They just can't seem to find a competent PR guy.

[Blaze929]

how is no one talking about the most important part about this guy's post? "Coverage and video:"

"I am 100% sure that Microsoft will get a ton more coverage than Sony. There is no conspiracy theory here, the simple truth is that Sony are providing one debug unit to one video outlet in North America (I don’t know about the rest of the world) and only a select few “wordy/written/text” based outlets."

wut?

[MRMagoo123]

LOL the guys full of it no one cares , even if you keep trying to link this rubbish waste of time in every article.

heres kevin dents respectable rep for you http://elizabethbanner.tumb...

[DragonKnight]

No one knows who Kevin Dent is, or if he's even done anything. He's saying all this stuff for the attention it'll get him. That's as plain as day given how he talks to feminists (they deserve it imo), I wouldn't doubt it if nothing he says is accurate at all.

[Ju]

I know for a fact, that "dev kit" price he pulled is total BS. And whatever the rest is, I doubt he has a clue. Which doesn't put this statement of his into a more believable point of view. The PS4 to XBone dev kit ratio was more like 5:1 since January, I doubt that only "one debug unit" has been shipped to media outlets.

[buynit]

I have no clue wth is going on and if it even matters as a gamer.. Isn't every xbo a dev Kit? So why does the price seem Un-believable?

[pompombrum]

Exactly.. his clarification was spewing a whole load of Jibberish without actually clarifying anything we didn't already know.. if game development doesn't work out for him, I see some potential as a politician.

[Aceman18]

What the hell was that nonsense I just read? He is the most unprofessional douchebag I've ever seen.

[DiRtY]

"Both consoles are world class; they really are fantastic machines –Admittedly I have only played with the Xbox One Retail, but I spent a long time on the PS4 dev kit. Do I think that the first few months will be a pain in the ass at times for both consoles? Sure! That’s tech for ya."

Pretty cool statement IMO.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Who's Kevin Dent? (WHERE'S KEVIN DENT!?)

I don't even know what's going on anymore, nor do I truly care (yes, I care just enough to comment). I'm so confused.

[GiggMan]

Yeah I'm with you on this one. I'm getting sick of these twitter/gaf articles about people I have no idea who they are. It's always something vague like a little kid saying "I know something you don't know". Then they offer some silly clarification that is just as vague.

If you can't speak on something and be clear about it just don't say nothing.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I'll be so relieved early next month when I can just play games and not have to deal with politics.

[Soc5]

Sorry man looks like its just getting started. If you mean next month you're gonna stop reading about it that's one thing but it looks like everything at least for the next year is going to be held under a microscope and analyzed and discussed to death.

[Raiz]

the update from albert penello is pretty interesting:

"Today's internet explosion has nothing to do with Xbox One. All is well in Redmond."

does this mean 720p resolution issue of CoD: Ghosts is not the fault of xbox one hardware, its the developer that didn't pushed the hardware to achieve higher resolution?

[B-radical]

The internet explosion has nothing to do with cod even aha. A unnamed company has peed of some people

Why must people be cryptic

Marcus Beer ‏@AnnoyedGamer 2h
I think the we will find that one of the rumors doing the rounds is false. The resolution of that one will be easy.

[MajorJackHoff]

Well, I have 0 doubt in my mind the One can achieve 1080p on Ghosts.. but if it wasn't as easy to achieve on the One as it was on he PS4, and they lazily decided not to do it, that's still a pretty big problem.

[pompombrum]

Come on, not only is Ghosts a timed exclusive, it's one of the biggest franchises in the world. I don't think Activision would let IW be "lazy" when developing the game for the platform which pays them money for the timed exclusive.

If it really does run in 720p, I'd take a guess that the Xbox just isn't as easy to develop for than the ps4. I don't understand game development but being honest, it's either that or the Xbox One can't handle Ghosts in 1080p and seeing how poor the game looks, I find that very hard to believe.

Either way, I think this whole fiasco is hilarious, building a new PC was definitely the way to go for the real next gen experience. I don't know how anyone (on either console) can talk up the future of the gaming when not all games can run at 1080p.

[mistertwoturbo]

Well everything is about GPU compute now and less about CPU. The transition from the entire hardware and software industry has been moving that direction for years in the PC gaming market.

So it's natural the new consoles are moving in that direction.

And to put it simply why the PS4 would be easy to develop for, is that they have that 5-8GB of GDDR5 RAM just like how modern day GPUs have at least 1GB-3GB. So there's that giant pool of easy to access fast high bandwidth memory on tap.

On Xbone, in order to achieve any type of performance they have to go through that itty bitty amount of ESRAM in order to transfer the data.

Microsoft made a poor design decision in that regard. All that talk about balance is moot if their hardware has that bottleneck.

[Anzil]

This is the problem i have with microsoft fans.........they will make an excuse for absolutely anything....anything. Then they complain that sony fanboys are ridiculous. PS fans rally cause they're getting what they want, where MS fans rally to protect microsoft decisions. I do not get it......

[malokevi]

@majorjackhodf

Well put. COD should be able to run 1080p on all next gen consoles and PC. But, if the Xbox is too hard to program for / in a state of flux, then I won't hesitate to grab the best version possible, in spite of my affinity for the Xbox brand and connection to the online service.

I'll always have the best version of each game. But I do remain positive until we get official confirmation. This all seems hard to believe to me.

Edit: inebriation prevents proper typology. Also, west side.

[Legacy212]

A reviewer at polygon already confirmed that the xbox one got the short end if the stick becausr microsoft was late with getting their drivers out. N4G was quick to remove it because the reviewer said this wont be a future problem. It got reported for being a tweet and moved to the fail section check it out

[garos82]

@raiz
No he it's just happy that people have to scrutinize the other camp for once giving him a much needed rest to recuperate after all the spinning of the last couple of months

[christocolus]

nice.... some good info in there...

[BoriboyShoGUN]

good info? I thought the whole thing was gibberish!

[PFFT]

hey chris typical Sony fanboy mentality.
Someone comes out spewing BS against the XBO and all of the sudden those people are right and know more than the developers working on these titles. BUT if someone who is a developer comes out defending that platform and saying positive stuff about it. The fanboys come out in full force calling him a worthless developer and that he doesnt know Jack SHITE. And that two idiots spreading baseless rumors over at neof*G know more than him.

[christocolus]

bro, sometimes i just post my opinions and ignore cos in the end im getting the console of my choice regardless of their opinions.

[neocores]

How is he fanboying he said good info the only fanboy is urself lol

[sAVAge_bEaST]

Major Issues ,, we will find out by launch.. There are more issues with xbone hardware, than we even realized.. >word on the street>

[obliterator]

What garbage did I just read. Rofl.

[xKugo]

Meh..

[cyhm3112]

still didn't answer the question, 1080p or 720p for ghosts on xbone?

[MysticStrummer]

The most confusing clarification I've read in awhile, maybe ever.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

exactly, this guy just confused me even further!

[pete007]

1080p 60 fps and stfu. Period. Now you can buy your xbox. Satisfied?

[saikorican]

You seem to be carrying a little anger.

[Avernus]

Interesting read.

[LackaJaKane]

interesting read indeed

[Riderz1337]

And Kevin Dent was already called out by CBOAT and Mort.

[MorePowerOfGreen]

That's because they're spreading the BS. Those guys always call out people that expose their SH1T

This latest internet drama is S.D.F. last ditch effort to hurt XB1's rep. Like I was saying the other day, IMO this drama was planted trying to cover something else up and/or damage control due to XB1 leap frogging PS4 in positive momentum and more popular offerings.

I know BF4 being showcased live on XB1 with MSFT and EA has a lot of people angry and envious.

LOL trolls know the *XB1 tour* have 26" 720p LCD's and tried to prove nonsense based on that with BF4. Same people tried to say Forza 5 was downgraded to 720P based on those monitors.

The rest of the internet have called out CBOAT and pals.

Why doesn't CBOAT ever know any good news gamers would enjoy, or bad PS news? LMAO

[SniperControl]

But yet you believe 100% the BS coming out of misterx's mouth, the irony..........

[MRMagoo123]

Cboat doesnt know news about the ps4 because he works for MS lol you are one stupid person if you think he would know the ins and outs of the ps4 working at MS.

OT this whole vomit of text didnt clarify anything at all, what a waste of 5 mins of my life.

[Kingthrash360]

greenpowers....dat you?....sure do talk like green powers.
ill reply with this
1 its ms thats hurting x1 rep more tham any1 could. i think x1 is a great console, not the best but still great, ms just fumbled more than mark sanchez and damaged the systems rep from the reveal on to now.( also ms fault for displaying their games on 720p monitors)
2. people dont really care about the rep of ms enough to want to "damage the rep of x1". but if this info didnt come out we wouldnt have known until launch (if true). we wont truly know until launch and that is also ms's fault...they could just come out and say hey it is 1080 or 900 or 720p and put this behind them. but no stay as quiet as they did with the drm rumors that turn out to be true btw. im not sitting here saying its ms fault if it is 720p but i am saying them keeping quiet is more damaging than speaking up.
look at sony....they delayed driveclub at the last minute hurting their launch lineup...yesterday they release footage of the game and it look waaaay better...if cod is 720 the ms should do the same and make iw delay for quality. x1 customers are loyal most will stay and buy a better cod if they put out bad product it will hurt them more than delaying it.
anyway enjoy x1 and game on
all my ps4 n4g gamers hit me up for killzone and bf4 squad up on launch day...nba2k14 for the sporty gamers...kingthrash on psn

[ziggurcat]

Morepowerofgreen is a greenpowerz alt account, and should probably be banned from posting...

[reko]

oh its greenpowers the ultimate troll.

[pyramidshead]

this account makes for awesome reads. Truly remarkable hahaha.

[bobsmith]

xbone can keep the maps 1 month early id rather have the whole game in 1080p LOL

[corvusmd]

Once again...proof from an actual Dev that all the other crap is just rumors. Funny how if it's negative about XB1, we believe no name bloggers who credit nameless "insiders" that there is a rumor that something is wrong with XB1...and all the sudden that is fact, then an actual dev always has to clarify the facts. Sony fanboy trolling will never end, especially not after both consoles drop.

[black0o]

what proof?

[ziggurcat]

So... When it's a dev working on a sony title, it's "anonymous dev, not credible source", and when it's a dev who favours xbox, it's "proof from an actual dev"?

That right there is one of the worst cases of hypocrisy I've seen on this website.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Please "great one" highlight the proof for me and repost! Man I swear you guys have beer goggles on.

*I swear I try to avoid the flame wars but God all Mighty! This guy literally just spewed a bunch of BS and didnt clarify one damn thing!

[rainslacker]

Even by this devs own admission he admits he doesn't know the answers to everything, and he isn't sure why some things are the way they are, and that he can only assume on some things.

He is also misrepresenting some things. The every console a dev kit is misleading and not something that is concrete or even really known in detail by indie devs right now, so how exactly has he proven anything? For all we know it can be a dev kit in the way the 360 was a dev kit for XNA games. Full dev kits are expensive. The reason is that they have special hardware in them to help debug un-optimized code.

Actual dev or not is besides the point that he doesn't really clarify anything other than to speculate on things like we all do. Quite honestly, I have no idea why he even felt the need to post this at all. Apparently some people mentioned his name? He's making comparisons between the PS4 and X1, as opposed to saying anything of value, and he comes across as either a MS representative, or spiteful fan boy. And yes, devs can be fan boys too.

[BeardedPriest]

KZ:SF >Ghosts and BF4

[obliterator]

Kevin dent trying to repair the dent on xbone's reputation ;)

[Tooly]

im lost wtf

[Skate-AK]

Kevin Dent has a problem. I will leave this here. http://elizabethbanner.tumb...

[Brix90]

Never heard of Dent but seeing all these posts he can he take his word an shove it...

[quenomamen]

He is the guy you send a check to when you need some spin in your favor, rainmaker, just a step above a loan shark and in the same category as a human trafficker. You don't beleive me check out his mug.

http://elizabethbanner.tumb...

[nades_all_night]

Apparently facts = disagrees. Dent and this whole Sessler, Gieles, and Penello tweet party they had is very suspicious and timed a little to perfectly in my opinion.

[Soldierone]

Could have just said MS paid him for damage control and ended it at that. Would have saved me so much time from reading all the useless comments he made.

Funny how he mentions the cost of dev units, yet all the indie studios are flocking to PS4 in herds.

[mkis007]

And for someone so informed he forgets that retail dev units are not available even at launch. That $500 dev kit cost is actually false.

[5eriously]

Apparently ALL the eXB0Ne's will be a dev kit after the launch with some update from M$. That's where he gets his $500 price tag. But the idiot forgot to post that all Sony approved Indies will get a dev kit for free!

[DoubleM70]

But not in Xbox 1 case everybody is an Indie even you and me. All Xbox1 are Dev Kits it's already been stated and go look it up for yourself.

[mkis007]

I know that the xbox1 retail units are all potential devkits. That is not in contention. He makes it sound like all the kits that are out right now only cost $500 each...they do not, no one has a $500 devkit yet because the patch to add devkit functionality for all retail units won't be available at launch. So when? 2014? No time frame has been given. But to make a point like Kevin did is misleading(false). This is without adding in the fact that sony is handing out devkits free.

[rainslacker]

Making the retail X1 into a dev kit is a step in the right direction, but people should be aware that these aren't going to be full on dev kits like the big boys get. Even an indie dev worth a bit of salt is probably going to want at least one full dev kit for debugging and optimization purposes. If they are using the gimped retail X1 as a dev kit then they aren't going to be making that much of a game that fully utilizes the hardware. I just can not imagine that MS is going to open up that kind of access to their system to anyone who pays the fee to do so. Doing so means the system will be hacked inside out within a matter of weeks. Full dev kits give full access to the hardware for the most part. But it requires stringent controls and NDA's, and isn't something that is just handed out to anyone for the sake of someone making a game.

[GuruMeditation]

Kevin Dent... you'd be better off flipping a coin to find the truth.

[GutZ31]

Ah, the man that has done less for gaming than the next, and last poster in this thread.

[MightyNoX]

Who?

[cyhm3112]

guess how long can MS keep these lies going? not after launch I guess.

[Funantic1]

Great article. Very reassuring for all gamers of the next gen.

[GutZ31]

^ you forgot your /s.
Unless you actually meant that, then I would say "GTFO of here!"

[boribori831]

Remember its pure trash on n4g because dude is an xbot and he had some bad sony news.i promise you if he had said" xbox is poop, ps is king , and xbox doesnt allow gameplay footage while sony does" people would turn him into a living martyr . N4G the best place for a laugh and a plate of hypocrisy

[Supermax]

Hmm you all don't run with this but when a nobody tweets something bad about x1 you take it as religion.

[PFFT]

Exacta! Typical Sony fanboy mentality!

[boribori831]

Dont get me wrong I like PS .psn is kool where else can I get easy wins online lol.

[LetoAtreides82]

Anyone who believes you can get an Xbone dev kit for just $500 I have a bridge to sell you. This Kevin Dent guy is obviously a joke.

[yarbie1000]

Every Xbox One is a dev kit. Look it up. And you can keep your damn bridge :)

[strickers]

No it's not. It will be at some undetermined date after launch.

[boribori831]

Aren't the kits the actual consoles themselves for xbox one.do u even research before u open that gutter

[EastBayPunk]

I feel so bad for the poor media /s

[AutoCad]

lol this is amusing , they forget that most people are already set on buying a console. XB1 Day 1 for me.

[Shakes]

Two things here, one is that this guy is obviously upset that making games will be more expensive on PS4 and big dev's will only make 15 million dollars instead of 16 because of this. He doesnt care about the kid in the garage making kid games in IOWA. He probably wouldnt hire that kid unless he had a college degree. Thats where the bias for the XBOX One comes in. The second thing is that he doesnt seem to care about the fact that we have to have the game given to us in 720p and then our TV's have to upscale the picture to 1080p. Yes that works - but any hardcore gamer will tell you that the upscale process causes "lag" for you to see the picture. It takes time for your TV to re-process the image. Thats why alot of people play on monitors like myself. This guy gets a big thumbs down.

[mixelon]

All the speculation about HDCP being a barrier to journos putting up video is insane considering how easy it is to bypass HDCP. I mean, seriously. It wasn't supposed to work on the PS3 either but it's REALLY easy and cheap to do.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Can someone please explain to me in layman's terms just what the hell has been going on in the past 24 hours?

[blackout]

This is the worst gaming news site. Everything gets approved weather its true of false. This site should be called N4SG, a.k.a News For Sony Gamers. Just look at how IGN is set up there know where near as much BS on that site. Microsoft is really doing good right now, Really proud of how they turned thing around since E3. XBOX ONE ALL DAY 11/22/13

[PudgeySan]

Even if, You can upload the video to a website and download it then edit.. this is a dumb argument.

[bigtrucknd]

EYEBALLS more EYEBALLS

[jah-Fu]

haha too funny ps4knacks consoling each other telling each other he's a nobody and his word is crap becuz they don't like what he says. Weak sauce. Chances are he's done alot more in the game world than many of the haters and doesn't have time to tell a fellow ps4knack on n4g a vapid opinion on speculations. PS4 is cool, knacks suck shit.

[VoodooRob]

I decided to get ps4 however I'm sick and tired of the Sony fanboys bashing the xb1 all day everyday. I'm 31 and find the xb1 to be a very attractive console to my age group and will pick it up when titanfall drops.

There both great consoles people. Let's stop the dork fanboy crap everyday on NG4. I now this site is very pro Sony and biased however enough is enough already.

Knowing NG4 I'm sure I'll get banned for this and if so this sites a complete joke.

[Izzy408]

Not really sure how credible this guy really is, but I do agree that at the end of the end, we should all hope both consoles are successful. PS/MS Success + competition = win for all types of gamers.

[FanboyKilla]

I hear u guys (most likely ps fanboys) talking about who is this guy? Hes a nobody. Why are you given him your time? Was he a nobody before you read the article? Truth is, it doesn't matter who tells you the truth.Be happy someone is willing to, even if you dont like it. Both systems have and will have problems. But when i pick up my x1 ill be playing games. P4 owners will be waiting on the dream sony is selling them. ie PS HOME. Maybe it will come true maybe it wont. Im not a gambling man, give me XBOX ONE.

[5eriously]

I also smell a rat, a rat named Sessler on behalf of Microsoft or even in collusion with them (M$). It seems to me that Albert Penello and Dr Dentenstein are playing a pre-orchestrated twitter game together with Sessler! How low can you go M$!

I again repeat my opinion about this whole saga.

Reading between the lines I formed my own opinion about the "life changing career saga" of Sessler. He was practically shilling for Micrsoft most of his career and at times very anti Sony. Now Sony does not treat him as a top dog in journalism and are not getting a free PS4 now in my opinion he knows that the TOP console by all indications will be the PS4. Now if I was him I will also be in a frantic and know my livelihood will not be the same with Sony dominating the console and gaming business.

That's life Sessler son, if you burn your bridges openly and publicly where your have clearly shown your bias towards Microsoft while openly opposing Sony and their products and now find yourself in a pickle you have to live with your own decisions you made in the past. You rode the wave of popularity from the majority eXBox fans and now you will just have to be sidelined like them in future.

Remember internet warriors don't cry!

PS: Lesson to gaming review Journalists: Be non biased and honest about every console platform and you will benefit the proceeds of the advertising rights on your site. But when taking sides with open bias then be prepared that the proceeds will diminish when the tables turn.

Also do not expect everything for free Sessler, you run a business and thus should pay upfront for the tools required to do your job. You should have pre-ordered a PS4 like everyone else but I am sure Microsoft will arrange you one so you can continue your shilling efforts but lets be clear about it, it's going to be a helluva difficult task looking at the popularity and power of the PS4. Listen to your "wife's" tweets and read the interview she made public. It's the best advice you can get from anyone.

http://www.p4rgaming.com/ad...

It rather looks to me as maybe his publishing company Revision3 Games told him it's time o!

[H0RSE]

Dev actually working in the business and has experience with the new consoles = shameless douche you can't take seriously.

Forums posters who go by avatar names Famousmortimer and CBOAT, post comments online = undeniable truth, treat like gospel...

Remember kids, any news that shows positive or even a neutral stance towards MS and/or the X1, is a lie...

[Bio_Mod]

Not necessarily a lie, cant deny Microsoft's sneakiness though

[wdb0207]

Xbox haters. Hate all you want.

[NewShadow101]

i may have read that article too fast or something... what was clarified through Kevin Dents opinions? i need facts so i can hurry up and decide on a console.

and how in the world do people get disagrees when they ask truthful questions on here? their grammar maybe? not thug enough? didnt abbreviate everything? what is it...

[FanboyKilla]

do you think you'll find a console by launch?

[NewShadow101]

@PsAlways

definitely not, but ive been on the fence here for a while. i like halo, gears of war was the all nighter for a long time and titanfall looks fresh. i really liked the playstation exclusives like TLOU, uncharted,infamous,god of war,resistance, and killzone. and i know sony will keep delivering those quality exclusives. and what if titanfall comes to the PS4? do you think that will happen? and i dont know if microsoft is going to focus most of their time on the kinect like theyve been doing. kinect would be good for get togethers but most of the time i want the controller in hand.

You people have already bought ps4's hype. Why show the system, or even games that are worth a real gamers time? The idiots are already waiting in line for it. We cant blow it if we dont show it. Ahhhhh. But it will only buy you time sony. The truth is Nov. 15. LOL Killzone and Knack You say you're for the gamers, where are the games? I dont want to hear that indie crap. Who pays 400 bucks for a next gen system to download arcade games? Tell me where the p4 is innovative. Tacking on features that my last gen console had wont get it.

Kevin Dent, fake dev.

On Pete Dodd(famousmortimer) blog- this what a real MS dev wrote.

I don’t know who the hell that last guy was,
but I’m an actual Xbox dev. Shit is flying here
and nothing is ready. XBL crashes like crazy,
snap feature may not make it for launch, and
smartglass is not even close to being cooked.
I’m going to have to come in on the weekends
for the next year with the way things are
going. Thing is I was here when the Xbox 360
launched, and man that was a vision and a
product that we had faith in. It was beautiful.
Kinect had it’s detractors, but it rejuvinated
the Xbox brand in a whole new way. And now
this is all going to shit. There is no vision for
XB1, just a lot of meddling from the higher ups
and no clear goals other than TV TV TV. Most
of this won’t be fixed at launch. I would quit
now if I didn’t have collegues that would suffer
because of it.
Also who the hell is Kevin Dent. No one has
touch any retail kits here unless they’re a part
of the MS team.
