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.

Love that you used an example that was wrong. CBOAT said there was yeild issues not a downclock. You could have said POP for E3 if you wanted to say he was wrong.
Only 2-3 people in the world? Haha that's funny.
Mods closed that thread because there was no new information on it. They said to make a new thread if anything else arises. They do it with every thread that takes off like that.

This is just a few
1) He said PS4 will launch in October as a "truthfact,' meaning it's fact. False, middle and end of November for NA/EU.
2) He said there is no final indie solution, and that it will come post launch. False, we got a coherent self-publishing statement at Gamescom, taken into effect immediately; you can tweet or email ID@XBOX to get your independent game on Xbox One.
3) He said indie devs will be limited to 3GB RAM total. False, as said at Gamescom indies will get FULL access to Xbox One and all it's RAM/power.
4) He said indies on Xbox One will be published through the "windows store ghetto." False on multiple accounts.
5) He said PSN will have no paywall. False, it was announced you need to pay to play online with PS4 right after.
6) He said he saw an exclusive Prince of Persia for Xbox E3 conference. False, he got the desert from Halo mixed up with PoP, especially because Master Chief was wearing a poncho to hide his appearance from his enemies. He has since apologized, but this goes to show his position within Microsoft, not even knowing something as big and staple as Halo from PoP.
