Some new information about Microsoft’s conference has surfaced from a “reliable source” named CBOAT (crazy buttocks on a train) on NeoGAF ahead of the actual event in a few hours. The information pertains to what Microsoft plans to showcase at the event, plus details on the games that will be making an appearance.
It’s hard, if not impossible, to say whether any of this information is factual, but those on NeoGAF claim that the leaker is responsible for some of the more accurate details about Microsoft and Sony’s conferences over the past few years, lending credence to his assertions.
Here’s what Reddit’s managed to “translate” of his post, which was written in cryptic form.
Microsoft is buying out publishers to not mention the PS4 versions of multi-platform titles, so you can assume if the presenter does not say "EXCLUSIVE TO XBOX ONE", that it will also be on PS4.
More in depth DRM info at Gamescom. There is no rental strategy, they're trying to just sweep it under the rug and hope people don't remember.
Cloud power was designed as DRM. It was Microsoft's idea, and they approached other publishers. EA and Ubisoft support, Activision slightly less so.
DRM plans are worse than what they have said.
Mirror's Edge 2 at MS conference.
Prince of Persia (reboot?) at MS conference.
Secret Phil Spencer game = World of Tanks. It is said that you still need Gold to play F2P games?
Paywall (Xbox Gold membership) for Xbox One.
Dead Rising 3 as Xbox One exclusive. Exclusive DLC for another Capcom game.
No paywall for PS4, but it's unconfirmed.
Sony is very tight on their DRM policies, so no DRM info.
