I'm OD'ing on crazy rumors right now! 2 separate sources:
1. Ok guys I have been very busy with work lately but I did manage to have a few drinks with my friend. "University of Illinois campus ain't no joke!"
Here goes:
Saints row remaster was definitely a forward compatability game that got bumped to remaster status because funding is needed for a next generation reboot of a very old classic game that dives deep.
Sdk 11.3 has arrived and it's very easy almost brain dead for developers to optimize games for x1 and it allows esram to do more than frame buffer.
11.3 is bringing real time available system bandwidth to around 200-218.
GTA V is going to be 900p due to Rockstar not taking advantage of 11.3 features and the reason is they don't have time plus make launch on time.
Red dead is coming along fine and will make its appearance at e3. What's not known is which stage. Definitely some cloud features in it.
Street fighter 5 will be shown at comicon next year and will be 1080p 60fps on both.
I'm told we will have a next gen remaster of alpha 3 before it drops.
Next generation ghouls and ghost is coming to Xbox live and psn next summer. Not triple A but will be 2d and beautiful.
There is apparently some secret dlc coming to fh2 next spring. Back to the good ole USA.
Microsoft is going to talk esram very soon but will not go into the hardware very deep for the reason I'm about to reveal.
You want to know why Microsoft doesn't reveal Xbox hardware, well here's the number one reason.
Microsoft knows Sony slapped together a off the shelf mid to high end pc in the ps4 because Sony knows developers are still using old engines for games atleast the next few years. Sony is deep in planning stages of ps5 and they are waiting to find out what makes x1 special so they can build a better machine. Microsoft knows unless they reveal what's really going on inside the Xbox nobody can figure it out especially sonys college prep engineers.
The longer Microsoft can delay any major revelations the tighter the noose becomes around sonys financial neck.
All the stuff that we've been saying is going to happen, it's just not going to announced in any formal way. The games will do the talking and the media and everyone will keep scratching their heads in disbelief. When you watch leaked QB footage you see graphics that are two times ryse and if you look close you'll notice a little something traced with lighting.
Last but not least, killer instinct isn't the last game to get the patch treatment....
Stay tuned
Getting close...

2. From Milkcarton's guy:
I want to jump on some quick topics and fill you in on some things.This is a quick update and I will be back with another in a couple of weeks.
Sony or Microsoft didn't pay for parity on Assassin Creed Unity.Each system came up short for 1080p on its on.The Sony PS4 didn't hit 1080 because of the CPU couldn't maintain the fps at a stable rate at all,Sony did ask if Ubisoft would drop some of the NPC's on screen to hit it.Ubisoft said no and that's where the parity statement was based off of.
Microsoft's Xbox One couldn't hit 1080p because the new engine had trouble maintain the split ram pool and render at a stable 1080p.No secert Agendas are in play here.
Rare is working on 2 games and Battletoads.
Shenmue has been put on hold because the opening talks where with a high price estimate.Also Sony is trying to jump in and drive up the price.Sony wants Shenmue also,but the asking price is to high for both.
I will be back before the end of the month later Xbox Gamers!
