Over at gaming forum NeoGAF, one user, who calls himself Crazy Buttocks on a Train, is known to the community as a ‘games industry insider god.’ His statements have never been wrong, as far as I’m aware. And on the eve of E3 press conference day, he’s provided a few new “truthfacts,” as NeoGAF calls them.
Xbox One
Microsoft is actively buying PlayStation 4 non-mentions. If you don’t explicitly hear a third-party say “our game is exclusive to Xbox One,” confidently assume a PlayStation 4 version is available behind the scenes.
Stage two of Microsoft’s in-depth DRM messaging will arrive at Gamescom. There are no plans to support rental services. What was said last week was just so they could keep quiet.
The power of the cloud is phony, and was designed to mask Xbox One’s DRM. Microsoft approached third-parties, not the other way around. EA and Ubisoft are Microsoft’s biggest backers, but oddly enough, not Activision.
The DRM policy is worse than you know.
Mirror’s Edge 2 will debut at Microsoft’s press conference.
Prince of Persia will return for Microsoft’s press conference.
Special secret Phil Spencer game? World of Tanks from WarGaming.net.
Xbox LIVE pay-wall set in stone for online play.
Dead Rising 3 and exclusive DLC for another Capcom game.
PlayStation 4
No online pay-wall for PlayStation 4. Unconfirmed.
Sony is very tight-lipped about its DRM policies.
Of course, until confirmed, whether it be tomorrow some day in the future, take these with a grain of salt.
