Does any one know why the Gaf thread was closed?

Probably because the rumor was so weak to begin with that it couldn't stand anymore and the trolling was rampant.

Yup. One guy played the game at an event and said it was 720p. Famous runs with it without any confirmation and now we are in this situation.


then cboat said the same and then the MS PR guy didnt deny the rumor. 

CBOAT has a track record of being wrong  (example, he stated XBO GPU downclock, it was actually upclocked) and Penello/Phil Spencer stated they dont get priviliged access to 3rd party builds of game so they simply wouldn't know. Plus Penello is pretty non-technical, so his reponse in view of these two facts is totally understable. All he could really do was say "Ive seen it running and it looks great". There is no way for a layperson to tell what resolution a game is running at. It is generally only found out by arcane pixel counting of framebuffer grabs that only 2-3 people in the world know how to do, unless the company actually states it (which can happen, EG, Ryse=900P admitted by Crytek).

 

The fact GAF mods closed the thread could suggest they found out it wasn't true. Either way, it's a typical embarresment for GAF.
