You forgot Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Killer Instinct, Project Spark, and Crimson Dragon.

Titanfall may see a PC release, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Same goes for Dead Rising 3, but it would likely be much delayed. Project Spark is coming to PC, but is exclusive in the console realm to the Xbone.

I was actually sort of surprised. Ignoring PC, Microsoft had 10 exclusives to show off. Even more surprising is how many of them aren't sequels. Half of them are new IPs.

At face value, I think Microsoft actually put on a solid show here. They stuck to games, and showed a good number of them. It's unfortunate to see what could have been a strong console get muddied with a price that's too high because of features people don't want and intrusive DRM.

I forgot Killer Instinct because I just don't care about it, but RYSE, Sunset Overdrive and Crimson Dragon had nothing that I saw to be specifically stating they would be exclusives. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.
 
I'm really surprised they didn't do a bundle with some games, or subsidized with Live subscription. $500 is a very hard sell these days. All they had to do was at least bundle a few launch titles with it which costs very little.

Sony, the ball is firmly in your court. Do NOT F this up! A lot of gamers are counting on you.

Fuck TitanFall actually looks fun, but XB One exclusive. Come on release this shit on PC

The way game studios are trying to grab money now days, I wouldn't doubt if these exclusives are released on PS4 & PC 6-9 months later. Given everything is x86 now, it'll be too easy for them to build the games for other platforms and they would be stupid to not take the opportunity to cover all platforms.

I'm expecting the PS4 to be announced at $449.

If Sony can go down to $400 I think MS will have to follow, right? Or how sure are they that the xboxers won't be willing to give up their gamer scores and chiiivs? They can probably be fairly sure. :-(

I think that the Xbox One is going to have to be more expensive with Microsoft shoving that Kinect down everyone's throat.

Well I'm pretty sure they had said, during the unveiling a few weeks ago, that they were going to have 15 first-party exclusives in the first year, and that like maybe 8 of them were going to be new IPs. So yeah, that's pretty nice.



I thought it was solid. Definitely not their best E3 showing, but probably the best one they've done in a couple years. They pretty much talked about games (which they said they were going to do), and hardly even mentioned Kinect. I'm still on the fence. If this DRM stuff wasn't an issue, and things worked like they do now, on the 360, I'd be pre-ordering.

What I'll be curious to see is how much time Sony talks about all the stuff Microsoft already got out of the way, when they unveiled the One. I actually thought it was smart for Microsoft to do that crap then, and then not have to bring it up today.

That's what I'm thinking. It was a solid presentation, but I think Microsoft needed to hit it out of the park to make me buy it. It just didn't happen.

Anyone who didn't see this coming needs to have their head examined. :D

If you want real exclusives... tune in at 9pm EST for the Sony conference.

Oh, you mean like Metal Gear Solid V? I haven't liked any of Sony's exclusives for years, but that used to be one of the biggest series they'd advertise.

are you dense?

apparently.

what is your argument anyways do you even know what it is? to build a gaming PC at that price point research and knowledge is required, knowing how to put the PC together, not to mention you need a monitor and peripherals. a 500$ PC just doesnt work for the majority of the populace. sorry man. everybody has a tv and buying a console that works right out of the box with no work involved at all is what people want.

the console is the simple mans gaming solution and 90% of the population is simple.

these hard members think PC gaming some how holds a majority of the gaming populace. youre delusional as shit.

console is for most people. its easy, inexpensive considering how long they last and what they come with.


the 500$ pc argument is stupid as shit regardless. you know a ps3 can play bf3 on what would be medium settings on a pc.

no 500$ pc that you build today will be able to play high end games at all let alone on medium in six years.

stupid ass arguments from stupid ass people

And required to be plugged in and not blocked. I don't want the Kinect.... So, the cost is just for something I won't use. I guess it's like the Firewire port on my PC. Just costs a lot more.

If they offered a base config without Kinect for $399, I'd buy it. $499, even with the Kinect, is too much. It's still going to sell quite a bit. But, it's out of the price range of a lot of gamers.
 
If $500 gets you an xbox one with a kinect, and you are an owner with an xbox 360 with a kinect already, are the two sensors not compatible, so that's why MS is shoving it down your throat? Otherwise, what the hell do I need two kinect sensors for? double the spying?

Just like how Bungie's next game would be the biggest for M$, yet they will be at the Sony conference. It is interesting how things change.

Surprised no one noticed the lack of GTA5 at the M$ conference and no exclusive stuff for it. Maybe they will be at Sony's this year?

they just want you to use it. they want everybody to have it for when they make devs use it for gimmicky things.

Pretty sure it's been suggested that the XB1 Kinect had upgraded camera's, higher resolution.

Being forced is probably a reaction after the 'arcade' versions of the 360, Microsoft never really talked about it, but I think the no-hard drive versions of the 360 was probably a barrier for developers since they had to always factor in those machines. We'll probably see better deployment of Kinect features since they'll be universal. Still remains to be seen if they can use of it in a way that doesn't feel like a novelty.

For GTA5, that's probably because that's coming out for current gen consoles.No one really is looking to spend much time promoting their old consoles when their new one is coming out in a few months, especially if those games won't play on the new console.

"Hey, look at this game that won't play on our new $500 console we want you to buy!"

Yeah, the camera is 1080, while the original was like 640x480. They said it will work better in smaller rooms, has better sensors for audio and IR, and will process information a lot faster than the old one too.
 
As a Canadian who paid $499 for the 360 at launch... not really caught off guard by the $499 XB1 price. I've been finding all these next-gen console threads odd... this is [H], every second thread is somebody showing some system with 3x 780's, isn't everybody here going to eventually end up with both (or all three) consoles this generation?

I don't know about that. They featured 360 games first, and its new redesign of the 360. Clearly they will still be producing the 360 for a while, and the redesign is clearly a ploy.

I think a big part of the $499 price that is an issue is considering online play is still not free and we can't forget all the DRM the system has, which yes games on PC have as well, but isn't as restrictive.
 
Really getting sick of people who keep saying 'pc is cheaper', 'buy a pc instead' etc. These people have no clue about who buys consoles and why. You can keep building and upgrading your custom pc, normal people like to buy a console which they can just turn on and will play games for the next 6-7 years.

They are completely different target markets, no need to compare or to insult console gamers.

Nah. No reason to. Not really interested in the hardware (since I have a stronger PC). Not really interested in the exclusives. Not interested in the restrictions put in place (re: online connectivity, used games). Not interested in the feature set (HTPC).

Probably get a Ps4 at some point but that depends on what Naughty Dog does and what Sony's official, final stance is on used games. If they block 'em, I'll probably still get one just for what Naughty Dog comes out with anyway and just buy the games new anyway. Most of the other console games are multiplatform so I can buy them for PC.

No interest in Nintendo consoles at this point.

Most likely gaming related purchase I'll be getting in the next year is an Oculus Rift. Other than that....probably stand pat with what I have and catch up on games on not only PC but 360 and Ps3.
 
Plants Vs. Zombies is officially lame as hell. Tower Defense. That's it. Do that.
 
Titan Fall is up, and he just said Xbox and PC.

I thought it was hilarious people applauded the Plants vs Zombie demonstration (when it ended) and the guy said he had one more announcement and screams out "PEGGLE 2!!!" and it sounded like there was no applause. I liked Peggle, but come on. AAA games don't even get that sort of scream.

lots of games have two developers. rare is still involved
Click to expand...

Rare owns the IP and that looks like the extent of Rare's involvement with 'this' KI (based off what's been shown thus far).
Rare's logo is in the video....I see that. I think that's the extent of it. So far, this game looks nothing like old school KI, other than the announcer and the fact that you can do combos.
It looks like they reskinned SFxT and added SF4 sumi-e effects using KI characters.
