EDIT: Battlefield scew-up was because of the sound not working. Audience got pissed. Later a PC backspace key showed up proving it wasn't running on XBone.

well, i'd die to see that, but i dont blame them.

its a lot easier and faster to run a pc build and set everything on low, the result will be the same

Wow a new 360 for the same price as the current one which now all Gold subs have a crappy version of Plus style with 2 free games. Only a year late on that one.

Price and launch for the Xbone was expected, I will be honestly shocked if Sony arrives cheaper than $499USD either.

Mostly underwealmed by the content shown barring MGSV and Quantum Break, oh and DR3... But fuck Capcom for putting DR2 and OTR on PS3 only to go back to exclusive Xbox again for the 3rd. What's the point?

Also I think releasing a new Killer Instinct would be awesome... Like a decade ago when people actually still wanted it. I don't know if it has any relevance now. Lol

I'm not quite seeing the anger that the current intrawebs are having with the price, people regularly put down more money for tablets and smart phones, all of which date considerably quicker than consoles do.

It's a strange day when a TPS Plants vs. Zombies is the most genuinely fun-looking new game on display.

MIRROR'S EDGE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Carnivol]

So...
Quantum Break (dat face animation)
D4 (dat SWERY65)
Below (dat composer)
Titanfall (dat EA partner)
Halo (dat 60 FPS promise)
Minecraft (dat port)
Garden Warfare (dat exclusiveness)
Dead Rising 3 (dat zombies)
Forza 5 (dat hype speech)
Killer Instinct (dat main theme)

That's a solid bag of exclusiveness to kick off things from the start. I knew I was right about Microsoft going to deliver games.

And then you have all the other stuff ... like Mirror's Edge 2, Battlefront, Battlefield, bla bla bla.
We're off to a good start here

Also I think releasing a new Killer Instinct would be awesome... Like a decade ago when people actually still wanted it. I don't know if it has any relevance now. Lol

A decade ago we didn't have Street Fighter IV to breathe life back into 2D fighters. And doing it current gen after SFIV would've just made it drown in the ocean of fighting games that came right after SFIV. However ... doing it next gen? Suddenly you're the only fighter around; Best way to (re)launch a franchise.

[Rombie]

In meaning more like 2002 XBox gen when people were asking for it when Rare was still okay in most people's books. So more than a decade. When releasing a much wanted KI title would have been great against the glut of SF titles. Fighting much less relevance questions as well.

And anyway the new game looks like shit anyway so this is moot to me. I know we can say blah blah SF4, blah blah MK 2011 etc. but I honestly don't know if the world needs a juggle combo fighting videogame for consoles much anymore. And I don't think I am the only one who thinks this is too little too late.

And this is coming from someone who played an unhealthy amout of KI2 at the arcades and KIGold on N64 and would have been the first to line up for a sequel... Over a decade ago.

As for the games it's been a reasonably nice list shown by MS and EA thus far, but I still can't remove the bad taste that all the XBox One stuff comes with an unaddressed elephant in the room.

"Don't fight it, just let it happen".

Beat me too it, what an asshole. I mean, it sounds sadder coming from a man in his late 30s/early 40s than it sounds being said in this day and age at all.

PS4

Spoiler:

show spoiler

[Carnivol]

^The Tyrell building?


Anyway, anyone notice how they've stressed the exclusivity of anything they can, including FFXIV on console for PS3/PS4, but not a single mention of any Sony exclusivity for FFXV and KH3?

[[STARS]TyranT]

No DRM for used games, no online requirement, at all.

Well done Sony. Well done.

EDIT: LOL.

[alexdz]

Well, seems like Sony murdered Microsoft and left its bloodied corpse on a ditch.

[Zombie_X]

No used game fees, no internet required, no authentication checks, no manual installation, $399.... Well Microshaft, you've lost. Fucking lost big time. Sony even poked fun at your strategies.
