That will be his biggest regret in life.

JokesOnYou4667d ago

The highlights for me are
Ryse
Forza 5
Killer Instinct
Dead Rising 3

Awesome launch lineup, throw in huge multi's like Watch Dogs, BF4 and COD Ghosts and now I have some tough decisions to make because I'm sticking to my budget of just 3 games at launch.(until after the holidays)

DaGR8JIBRALTAR4667d ago

Please tell me im dreaming and that gif doesn't really exist........please!

BABYLEG4667d ago

The XO will be breaking the hell out of my pockets.. But I'm ready.

that lineup though.

wish I was getting a ps4 so I won't have a lot of games to buy and I can save money buying $1 $3 games.. Dam you MS for giving me a next Gen console

Jesus, guys...

He was kidding! It was pretty obvious at the show. People were laughing WITH him, not AT him.

Mounce4667d ago

I just watched the guy at the EA conference pretty much do that.

It reminded me of when Kaz Hirai went RIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER in attempt to woo the crowd over something so unloved.

GUESS WHAT GUYS....YOU READY!/!!?? ITS PEGGLE 2! FUCK YEAH!...Am sure the crowd clapped just to ensure there was no hilariously ensued awkward silence thereafter.

JsonHenry4667d ago

I thought it was funny. But I've played the Peggle and add-ons for the game so his over excitement made sense to me.

But for those that have never played peggle I could understand why that might have seemed excessive. But it was because it was supposed to be excessive.

3-4-54667d ago

I know it's socially awkward the way he did it, but it's still kind of funny that he took the time to do something like that.

Takes some nards to embarrass yourself like that.

guitarded774667d ago

I was hoping for Quantum Break, but figured it wouldn't be a launch title. If MS would have announced a $400 SKU without Kinect, and Quantum Break I may have jumped on board. Gonna wait for a price drop and Gears for now.

@jokesonyou

Agreed...

And watchdogs

That's the lineup I'm gonna be investing in

malokevi4667d ago

Somebody disagrees with you... lol.

My lineup is basically identical. I'm gonna b broke.

Gozer4667d ago

It will be Madden 25 and BF 4 for me. Cant wait.

THamm4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

Yes I feel MS back in the game and hopefully we all benefit. Seems they are doing the right things

redwin4667d ago

It looks like they are back in the game and now I gotta work more overtime to buy at least 5 of the titles I want. DAMMM you MS. Ahhhhhgg.

Muffins12234667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

Really?All those games showed where mixed in with exclusives so half of those "EXCLUSIVE GAMES" they showed after the text are not exclusive(watch dogs,fifa,assassins creed,etc.) ...seriously im amazed that anyone on here would want a xbox one over a ps4...sonys gonna rape the shit out of Microsoft no joke.

xActionBasturdx4667d ago

@muffins yea i doubt after that overhyped gamescom press that sony showed...look just like e3 but way more indie games...i guess those were the exclusives you guys were going on about huh...

THamm4667d ago

@muffins
I'm in the market for both, that's what I meant. Now that they removed the bad and removed always on Kinect, focusing on games as top priority, I will buy one. I always buy all consoles, some at launch, some not.

thetruthx14667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

The more launch games the better. Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Watch dogs or NBA 2k14 will be more than enough for launch

Then next year Halo, Quantum Break, Titanfall, D4, and maybe Fable Legends

Plenty of good times

QuickdrawMcgraw4667d ago

And then if MS follows all that up with the way they usually support their consoles.That will be it for exclusives.

ZodTheRipper4667d ago

My guess is that M$ support will end in 2015 sometime and X1 will become a multiplat-console like the X360 ...while PS4 will be actively supported at least a few years longer.

Concertoine4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

@Quickdraw @zod18
They dont consistently stop supporting their consoles. The original xbox had tons of great exclusives (especially console exclusives) until the 360 came out, while the 360 stopped getting a lot of exclusives around 2010. The thing is, MS didnt worry about games as much because they had a great 3rd party lineup. While the ps3 was getting inferior and delayed releases of great games like bayonetta, bioshock, lost planet, orange box amongst others, sony stepped up 1st party output after they pretty much kicked back and let 3rd parties sell the ps2 the gen before. The guy on top never tries the hardest.
The xbone will likely be behind ps4 this gen, and microsoft will definitely be releasing top notch games for the whole generation considering how many studios they bought. To suggest MS will stop support in 2015 is ridiculous, even the under supported 360 was getting steady releases 2 years in.

QuickdrawMcgraw4667d ago

Concert I can only go by my past experience.PS3 was my console of choice this gen.After listening to gamers like yourself talk about all the exclusive games coming for the 360.I bought the 360,loved Mass effect then thought the world of Allan Wake then......That was it.There was nothing for me from AW till now.At least for games I like.I don't even have to buy a ps4 when it's released(even though I will).PS3 still has exclusives coming down the pipe.I think it's smart for me to wait for about 4 or 5 years in just to see how MS has supported the 1.This is just my opinion.

Concertoine4667d ago

@quickdra
Never said there were a lot of exclusives, just that they were coming out until around 2010. But as someone who couldnt care less about FPS' and crap like killzone and gears, exclusives arent usually my selling point. But dead rising and lost odyssey are 2 worth getting, and if you dont have s good pc there are a lot of console exclusives too.
But when i dont spend 60 bucks a year on live, the fact that almost every multiplat of this gen (which was largely multiplat) runs/looks better on 360 or came out on 360 first, the 360 looks much better to me than the ps3 which i bought purely for the odd exclusive like heavy rain or TLOU.
To each his own ;)

joefrost004667d ago

Dont matter cause whatever it is the sony fanboys would blow it out of proportion

neoMAXMLC4667d ago

^Kinda like how MS fanboys are doing here?

trancefreak4667d ago

I disagreed because I don't think the XBOX ONE is all that great and that is just an opinion.

I bought a PS4 and it will at the Door on Nov 15.

I am very skeptical of MS ATM with their flip flopping trashy vision.

Again that is my opinion.

H0RSE4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

I don't really see xbox fans blowing anything out of proportion. The comments seem to recognize the games they see as good, and even point out which ones don't look good.

Some of the comments actually receive more dislikes than likes, suggesting that the "PS4 army" has already dispatched its Chaplains to silence all the non-believers for their blasphemous heresy concerning anything xbox related, and not excepting PS4 as the one, true god.

HugoDrax4667d ago

"PS4 army" has already dispatched its Chaplains to silence all the non-believers for their blasphemous heresy concerning anything xbox related, and not excepting PS4 as the one, true god"

Hilarious.!!!!! It's so true, and so pointless.

thelaughingwiseman4667d ago

Umm, Killer Instinct and Titan Fall are being blown out of proportion. Killer Instinct is getting all the rave even though it is not even innovative anymore. The graphics it had when it first came out where mind boggling, but now they aren't doing anything special. The game will be bought for nostalgia's sake. And Titan Fall fans act like Vanquish, Starhawk and Bulletstorm never happened

H0RSE4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

Well, Titanfall did pick up over 60 E3 awards, including Best of Show, Best Original Game, and Best Online Multiplayer. It won every category it was nominated for, breaking the record for the most amount of wins in the GCA's 16-year history for a total of 6.

See, a game doesn't need to push the boundaries of technology or even be innovative to be fun. I don't think the masses are interested in the game for it's ground-breaking innovation. They're interested because it looks fun as shit.

But all this probably means little to you, since after all, haters gonna hate...

psych4667d ago

So my day one games will be:

Dead Rising 3

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Watch Dogs

PraxxtorCruel4667d ago

Mine's

Forza 5
Ryse

Will decide later what else I want.

etownone4667d ago

Agreed....

But I have to get Battlefield too

GodGinrai4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

For me:

BF4
forza 5
Ryse
KI
Watchdogs

I will be going for the COD bundle. Im not the biggest COD fan but Ill take COD over FIFA.

EDIT: Ill pick up DR3 during Xmas.
So on day one ill have six games to play around with.

PFFT4667d ago

Mine are Forza 5, RYSE, Dead Rising 3, BF4, Ass Creed4 and Watch Dogs.

If i was getting the PS4. Id buy Killzone 3.5 and the aforementioned multiplats.

fossilfern4667d ago

Dead Rising 3
Killer Instinct (Might just use the FTP for a while)
Ryse

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 4667d ago
nukeitall4667d ago

I will start with Ryse and Watchdogs, but likely pick up CoD. If BF4 has a great campaign, then might pick that up as well KI and Project Sparc is f2p so those are a huge on my list to try.

Not huge on racing, so Forza is on the fence, but it looks damn good!

Too bad about Kinect Sports Rivals delay, otherwise I would have picked that up too.

Genesis12954666d ago

Mine will be

Dead Rising 3
Ryse
Forza 5
Watch Dogs
Killer Instinct
Battlefield 4

MRMagoo1234667d ago

Wow what an amazing super duper exclusive line up. Ill let you decide whether im being sarcastic or not.

GodGinrai4667d ago

Based on your comment history its pretty obvious....but ok..if you say so..Watchdogs, BF4 etc..are lesser games as they are not exclusives.

This really needs a re-release. Enjoyed all 4 games with 3 probably being my second favourite.

ocelot07291d ago

It once was. But the recent DR1 remake took that spot.

Christopher291d ago

It's 2013! I'm on my Xbox One and streaming from my laptop to my chromecast! Life couldn't be better!

TheColbertinator290d ago

Now I can stream my Xbox One from my TV to my phone to my tablet while I'm inside my refrigerator.

monkey602291d ago

It's not even the best one 🤨

ocelot07291d ago

Surprised this didn't get a Series S/X boost. I believe it's still locked to 30fps. Then again so is the PC version until you go into the .ini file and change it.

MetroidFREAK21291d ago

Genuinely surprised this still hasn't been ported

Killer Instinct: The Most Underrated Fighting Video Game in History

Killer Instinct is like the forgotten cousin at the fighting game family reunion.

Michiel1989407d ago

yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.

Cacabunga406d ago

Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series

Jawsh666407d ago

Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.

PRIMORDUS407d ago

I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...

DivineHand125405d ago

That combo was way overkill 😂

PRIMORDUS405d ago

I know haha, I loved Jago.

Bathyj407d ago

You're kidding?
It enjoyed probably more success than it deserved.
Unlike Tobal 2

MeteorPanda406d ago

Tobal 2 was awesome. Sold really well cause art similarity to dragon ball

jjb1981406d ago

I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.

Popsicle406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.

Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.

jjb1981405d ago

Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.

This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!

The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!

Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!

Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!

Barlos915d ago

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

Petebloodyonion915d ago (Edited 915d ago )

I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.
Here's what you also need to know
Breaking Shadow-linker
Instincts
Shadow counter
Auto double,
linker, manual
ender
etc,
