[Yulwei]

[nudemacusers]

well TLG has one thing going for it. when it eventually gets sold off to a f2p ios developer and released in a couple of months at least it won't be as tone deaf as duke nukem forever.

this is still a thing huh

[Shadow Mod]

Best way to generate hype not that I'm saying this is what's going down.

Claim shit's cancelled.

Don't let people announce it's showing. Convince fucking EVERYONE.

Then suddenly BAM. Preview that bitch.

i have a feeling that whenever this game slides out from sony's clenched buttcheeks there will be another slew of betrayalton posts that are just as shrill. reminds me why i avoid that part of the forum

[Shadow Mod]

Wait so basically game journo site does that they always do: troll and get hits?

They should have banned IGN years ago if they had principles.

[Shadow Mod]

I should have fucked with IGN when I had silkscreen classes right next to their building.

[Momo]

It's not like GAF has any standards

That's all im saying

[pilonv1]

They should have banned IGN years ago if they had principles.

Why?  It's not like GAF has any standards beyond "I like media that agrees with the games I like and dislike, as well as those who praise my favorite company/employer and tear down their competition".

p. sure there was a time when everyone hated Digital Foundry, now they're loved

This is E3, not friggen' Watergate. 

[Take My Breh Away]

I think this was purposefully leaked bad information. The rumor originates from SCE-RUSSIA. The very fact alone speaks volumes about who, what, and where it came from.

Months ago someone (on a podcast maybe) claimed IGN had multiple sources within Sony. The tone of the conversation essentially implied: "Hey- we know what's happening within the company, we are IGN, deal with it."

Can you imagine listening to that and you are Shu Yoshida? Can you imagine the anger people slaving away on PS4 titles felt? Can you imagine a scenario where that would make any executive within Sony happy at all?

IGN was essentially asking for trouble the moment they said that.

Some of you might think this is a giant misunderstanding, but I don't know if you know this, for the last few years- several people I've spoken to have revealed some pretty big surprises at Sony press events before hand. The more public issues happen-

A- When you have websites like PlayStation Lifestyle leaking the Last Guardian footage months before a press conference,
B- When you have Reddit posting Webm's of what could possibly be one the biggest "OH shit" moments of an E3 press event,
C- And when you have GAF members / mods / and various people on the internet announcing Sony plans ahead of time-

You need a concerted effort to send out your Ninjas.


If CBOAT was played like a fiddle by NTKRNL, IGN just stepped onto a grenade.


Fake Edit:

Shawn Layden is now in the driver seat at SCEA. Everything has been radio silent since he's taken stage. Perhaps, he's doing what Jack couldn't do - finding the rat.

Read that. Instantly knew it was Thuway. 

So after E3 will they finally kill off the "Insider" circus?

Mocking thuway? You're smarter than this breh

Let me get this straight. If you ran a company and someone within said company was leaking out massive secrets to the press over the course of the last decade, you'd do absolutely nothing and be ok with it? Let's take it one step further, you hear a podcast / read a tweet - where someone claims they have inside sources within your company; and you do absolutely nothing about it?

This is a theory, but you guys have written it off, and mocked it without even thinking about the gravitas of the situation. How dangerous is it for SCE, as a company, to have media outlets A) performing character assassinations of some of your top talent and B) claim that a multimillion dollar project is cancelled.

The theory has a basis, but mocking me and not even offering the slightest rebuttal? Your smarter than that, GAF.

[king of the internet]

IMO the problem isn't outlets like IGN or Polygon there. When something like this happens people call for the sites to be banned, but would it really make a difference? The root of the problem is the idiots who mindlessly repost that shit and the spergs that flare out to it and generate 5000 post threads. Ban IGN and people will post the rumors from somewhere else. Ultimately it would just be an ineffective way for some forum dweebs to 'get back' at a website that wronged them.

[king of the internet]

Yep. Like I said the people calling for it are pretty much doing it out of spite.

[Great Rumbler]

H-h-h-how d-d-dare they give me false information on a video game!

What if somebody called you and told you that your brother had died, but the next day you found out that he was really alive and well? How would that make you feel, huh?!

[benjipwns]

I think if you look at the evidence it all lines up. Sony "leaks" that The Last Guardian is cancelled.

Then after they show all their other great games. They say they have one more thing to announce...

And that's when Miyamoto comes out and announces that "The Last Guardian" is cancelled and is now the next Zelda game, exclusive on PS4/Vita and that Nintendo is leaving the hardware business and becoming a Sony First Party.

That's the transcendent moment. And I hope they have medical people on hand at those theaters to provide aid to the elderly and small children.

[Joe Molotov]

The real entertainment isn't watching E3, and it's watching people's reactions to E3.

[Shaka Khan]

Nintendo is not attending E3, so no need to worry about the audience having either.

Plus they believe fake ass insiders anyway. Funny they're trying to hold IGN to some standard when not too long ago there was this guy called famousmortimer.

So true. The biggest travesty is giving him a semblance of legitimacy when up until a couple of years ago his corporate ballwashing rendered him a perma-juniored walking mockery.





Thanks Kagari.

[Tasty]

Kagari probably believes the more pseudo-insiders running around, the more legitimate her own pseudo-insider status becomes.

[Kara]

Everything Chichikov ever posts about books gets me pretty annoyed, but his GoT bashing in the poligaf thread really makes me wish I could give him a swift kick in the dick.

When it comes to books Imma prolly side with the person whose handle is the name of a Gogol character, sorry.

If you think he's bad in that sense you should see how I used to shit up Book-GAF back in the day.

I think you two nerds better shut the fuck up so we can go back to discussing fanboy meltdowns, pseudo insiders, and the libelous IGN.

[doctavius bonbon]

also dicks

[Shaka Khan]

Of course. I touch myself to GAF gossip on the regular.

[Vertigo]

It was hilarious in the no Versus at E3 thread. There were people asking her about FFXV as if she had actual inside info to share.

I once saw a porn where the head of the guy's dick was narrower than the shaft. My mind was blown on two accounts: 1) that is unfortunate, and 2), how does he get paid to fuck with that thing?

What like the head is smaller? Those are actually pretty awesome sensation-wise.

Can't believe the dudes that developed Halo 1-3 are responsible for Destiny. Doesn't look kinetic at all.

The early stuff looked nice. I wonder if a lot of the "meh-ness" is due to the environments shown in the alpha? I only saw the video of a dingy basement area.
