Holy shitballs. MS seems like a giant clusterfuck right now. Kinectless SKU would be a crazy turn of events.

Interesting about MS moneyhats.

Thanks for the translations! It was hell to read that.
And I am sorry to ask this, but I have to since I have no earlier knowledge of this.
But how spot on are CBoat facts? I just wanna know so I can join the team.
Becase late October release for PS4 is making me drool.

TL:

#1
No livestream from GDC due to yield issues, 15-20% performance drops in latest SDK--this is a normal setback for console development, and will be fixed, but not in time for an early October launch...

#2
... Certainly not for all 21 countries. Localization is BS; look at official/spoken languages in countries that did/didn't make it. I was right on yield issues, and this is pushing launch titles, Smartglass, etc. back. (One unified process having its costs?)

#3
PS4 SDKs effectively final, launch in late October.

#4
MS has picked up a Platinum exclusive... And has no plans to release in NA/Europe. Talks with other JP devs are also ongoing, but CBoAT can only guarantee this one.

#5
Bigpark has canceled their MOBA project, shifted entirely to TV focus. Dev talent to Big Tusk or gone completely. Rare on Kinect.

#6
New indie policy not finalized, details post-launch

#7
Early September surprise.
CBoAT backing down on previous claims of Kinectless SKU; new potential for console-only SKU in March-April based on launch performance.

Damn, woke up to a fresh CBOAT post. Today is starting off great.
So the PS4 is slated for release in October? And a Kinect-less Xbone...These are quite the times we live in.
 
Well looks like a late October PS4 launch, lame Rare is still being lame Rare, and Microsoft has moneyhatted Platinum Games to make a game for the Xbox One.

BELIEVE IN THE CBOAT!
 
If you _________(?) about Bayonetta's sequel going to Wii U you will be somewhat unhappy about what MS is money-hatting with Platinum. Other Japanese developers in play too. But Platinum (Kamiya) is the only one I (have) solid (information) on. The game is NOT for North America or Europe, by the way. Makes no sense, but whatever...

That is what I took from it. lol

Edit: Beaten to a pulp.

thought people were mad

Yay for the PS4 October launch! I hope it's true!
The other information isn't that surprising, but nice to read it from the holy hands of the forum prophet!

Sony's won this round with a knock out punch. October launch is going to leave Microsoft bloody and bruised.

My attempt at translation:

#1 - Recent SDK update is behind schedule so no press conference showing off newer shinier games, also unable to launch in october to counter Sony.

Conjecture: The dot's actually make me think this may mean a delay further into november than they wanted. (perhaps was aiming at cod dog and will now miss?

#2 - localization is a lie, this is yield issues, knock on effect for lauch games and smartglass etc due to 180's and changing their vision

#3 - PS4 is done, launching october.

#4 - MS bought platinum exclusive but only for japan or only relevant in japan, not sure on this.

#5 - big park moved to TV stuff, talent left MS or went to black tusk.

#6 - talk about indies after launch, they haven't finalised this yet.

#7 - Depending on launch success, Kinect may be dropped in march/april.

EDIT: beaten.

If PS4 is out in October, that'd be pretty epic. I'm still not totally convinced but I guess it's not long until we find out.

Re. a kinect-less Xbox One sku, I wonder if devs are being told about that possibility.

For those not versed in Buttockanese:

Greetings from the land of beer and bratwurst and weird porn! Got here a little while ago and I'm tired so I'm dropping this early. Then bed, then visit some churches and friends are in the park and work meetings stuff and then I'll see how the gamefloor is later on this week.

TRUTHFACT 1+

No live stream for real reasons. Xbone architecture is still not fully completed. The latest version of the SDK a couple of weeks ago dropped performance by 15-20% across the board. Now before you get mad at MS, this happens ALL THE TIME in console development and it will eventually be fixed, but no chance for an early October release or...

TRUTHFACT 2+

... certainly not for all 21 countries. "Localization" is absolute one hundred percent BS. Period. TRUTHFACT. An excuse nobody with common sense would consider. Look at the countries dropped. Cross reference against languages spoken, official and otherwise in said countries. I said there were yield issues two months ago and the chicks have come home to roost. Knock offs for launch titles, and SmartGlass, etc. instead of the 180's "one coherent vision". Paying the price now.

TRUTHFACT 3+

Late October launch for the PS4. Sony's SDK is ready, you can basically master it to a final release right now. Today.

TRUTHFACT +4

If you thought people were mad about Bayonetta's sequel going to Wii U, you'll be somewhat unhappy about what Microsoft is moneyhatting with Platinum. Other Japanese devs are in play too, but Kamiyatown is the only one I'm solid on. Game is NOT for North America or Europe, by the way, which makes no sense but whatever.

TRUTHFACT $5

BigPark nuked their game. It was a MOBA, but it's dead dead dead now. A whole studio focusing on TV services! All their best talent went to Black Tust or left MS entirely. Rare's still Kinect focused, no matter what else you've heard.

TRUTHFACT 6

New indie publishing policy's not set yet. Will come postlaunch.

TRUTHFACT #7: Early September Surprise

Apologies in advance. Everything I saw over the last 24 months was that there's no chance of a Kinect-less SKU. It was a solid concrete decision, firm as a beach volleyball buttocks, no matter what other changes have been going on around here.

And... weeeelllll, about that.

There's whispers of a Kinect-optional (as in, not in the box) SKU early next year. March or April. Enough smoke now that I didn't want to wait until September to say it. Launch number fallout will play its part.

A storm is coming.

If you haven't mastered cboat speak by now you're not paying enough attention to gaf

Dude, this was like the toughest one yet.

Btw, about Nr1, why would that prevent livestreaming? they're going to show it to -someone- why not -everyone- if they've already shown it before?

MS getting a Platinum games exclusive and not planning to release it outside of japan? Wut wut wuuuuuut?

Microsoft's probably funding the game which is the only reason why Platinum would make an exclusive. I can't say it's disappointing because another Platinum game will be released in this world, which is fine by me.

So yield issues for Xbox One was real, I think the market penetration will definitely be affected due to this. If they were planning to do better in Europe this gen, this is definitely not the way to go about it.

Fairly unremarkable stuff for me. Don't care about platinum at all but it's odd they would keep it japan only.

As for a kinect-less sku that would be a big step towards getting me more interested in Xbox One, but they still need to actually make games that interest me. So far they haven't done that.
 
So Platinum exclusive JP game = similar to Tales of Vesperia PS3 port staying in Japan? (not saying Sony paid for an exclusive Japanese port for Japan).

It might be an obscure shump/Dating sim type game maybe?
