Like I said, 2ch is out to get NeoGAF. They typically sprinkle these little "tidbits" in with the real news to fuck with people. Thanks for the insight, chief.

After this has blown over, we'll either reopen this thread for general discussion purposes or make a new one.

I seriously doubt 2ch is "out to get NeoGAF," considering how 2ch isn't even a video game site-- it's a massive glob of anonymous postings which range anywhere from the latest news on local politics in Tashkent, Uzbekistan to heated discussions on the best way to prepare udon. Video game discussion is less than 0.001% of the entire bulk of 2ch.net.

A lot of fake info gets posted by pranksters, which you can easily predict from the fact that all postings are made anonymously. If someone ends up believing some unsubstantiated post at 2ch, then they've only got themselves to blame for being fooled.

When I see anything interesting in 2ch.net, I make sure to look for some alternate source to verify the rumor. However, 2ch is still a good source to get leads on new info.

Allow me to rephrase.

Several posters at 2ch that contribute to its gaming news and rumor discussion enjoy preying on the gullibility of their NeoGAF counterparts, and they've spread false information with the explicit purpose of tricking those guys. It's what caused a widely reported Star Ocean 4 hoax a while back that claimed the game would be multiplatform and split into multiple episodes.

In retrospect it was the perfect trick. The community as a whole is so starved for news, look how fast most people latched onto this. Even Suikosource quickly posted it (albeit with a disclaimer) without trying to check the source (har har) of these mutterings.

Well, I guess we just keep waiting for now, although it seems this tangent is all over bar the shouting.
