Absurd waste of money. That is 9 to 10k more than you would ever need to spend. It would literally be throwing money out the window.

2 years ago I built a very high spec gaming rig for 3.4k. If I had a 13k budget at the time? I could've added triple panels, killer sound system, gaming keyboard / mouse and a few games.

For a console only gamer with a 13k budget. You could purchase (example) Paradigm Studio V.5s (cc-690, 100s, 10s n 15sub), surround sound ...

I watched this video multiple times and I honestly don't know what to make of it (real vs fake). If this isn't fake it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in an online game. The health bars threw me off the most.

Hopefully DH will address this video and say one way or the other.

"microsoft throws billions of dollars at their exclusives"

Let me fix that for you.

Microsoft throw billions of dollars at advertising and marketing ALL their products vs having high quality products with a plethora of top tier support for their products.

If MS actually did what you said they wouldn't have been so heavily reliant on 4 titles (Halo, Forza, Fable, Gears), and Kinect last generation.

Forza 5 and Killer Instinct?

Forza 5 is literally half the game Forza 4 was (400 less cars and over a dozen tracks removed) and Killer Instinct isn't even half the game KI was when it released 20 YEARS AGO!

KI doesn't even have an arcade mode, no story of any kind. Hell it doesn't even have background information on the fighters. It's not even worthy of being called a bare bones XBL game.

My son and I played it over the holida...

No turgore it's Forza 5 that is the HUGE let down. Slight bump in visuals over Forza 4 but with less than half the content. Funny how it's the only next gen exclusive for the X1 hitting those numbers (1080p / 60fps) and it had to be a shadow of it's former self to achieve it.

"Must be paid reviews amirite?

*puts tinfoil hat*"

You must buy tinfoil in bulk if you think money doesn't severely influence critics. Anyone that thinks like that is either living in complete denial or doesn't want to admit MS, more than any other company, has their products glossed over because of the insane amount of money they use for marketing.

Marketing / advertising is how the media survives. That's why Super Bowl...

I literally spent an eritre day of gaming just battling other ships while I was a level 4 notoriety and staying with in firing range of my hard level bases. They were taken out most of the enemy ships for me. I kept maxing out on material and unlocked all the upgrades. Now I'm treasure hunting for the final upgrades and than I'm going to take down the legendary ships. muhahaha, or is that me hardy

This game is excellent and so addicting.

Colts_15 Sony already has it's Halo killer. It's called Gran Turismo. No MS exclusive sells as much as that franchise.

Anyone with webspace thinks themselves a critic. Personally I thought Killzon Shadow Fall was excellent but who am I? I have only been gaming since it's inception and am a person without bias or brand loyalty.

Personally I would rate it 8.5 to a 9. I...

I didn't like AC3. I bought ACIV and I literally can't stop playing it. I am digging the pirate life. It gets challenging in the hard area of the map. I keep losing my crew and being shredded by the bigger ships ganging up on me.

My only complaint is earning supplies to build my ship up takes forever and I wish there was more land area to explore. The rough seas take too much of my crew and is so monotonous having to dredge through it. They need to find the right ble...

Now the media finally reports on Turn 10 on their greed? They did this with that last 2 versions as well and nearly to the same extent. If you were on Forza forums right before Forza 4 was released you would've seen all the outrage and those that walked away from the series. Like a fool I stuck it out and even bought the season pass.

It was the first season pass I ever purchased but Forza was my single favorite game on the 360. One of my all time favorite racers. This tim...

They're both excellent but I'm leaning towards the DS4. Last gen I preferred the X360 controller but Sony knocked it out of the park with the DS4. The touchpad works great. Love the share button and especially am digging the built in speaker. Its so cool when you pick up an audio log in Killzone and have it play from the controller. The 1st time it did I was like WTF! Now I go out of my way to look for them just so I can hear it.

I have a smart TV (built in camera so it does motion and voice controls), smart phone and a tablet. I only need my gaming console to play games and so I went with the one that gives me the most bang for my buck, the PS4.

I have literally owned nearly every console ever made from launch day, exception being the Virtual Boy, and this is the 1st generation that isn't the case. But to be honest, per my name sake, I have zero remorse over it. Which is shocking because I contem...

Killzone literally puts meaning in the phrase "graphics to die for"

I can't tell you how many times I either died or nearly died while graphics gazing. The explosions, smoke, fire, embers, lighten, etc... It was just so surreal. I am playing it over again right now.

Too many games and not enough time. And some say this was a weak launch line up. Tell that to my wife. She has barely seen me since the PS4 launched (my gaming room is in the basemen...

Yeah that's Turn 10s new model. Release half a game and piece meal you the rest for a ton of money. So sad. The only thing definitive about this game is them trying to milk the consumer for every last cent they can with their DLC.

Being a once Forza fanatic I'm so glad I had the restraint not to give in and purchase this game. I made the decision once I found out about all the content they stripped from this game but it got easier and easier the more I saw of their la...

Here is a list of what they stripped out of the Forza 5 over 4.

400 cars and over a dozen tracks gone. NO Nurburgring - WTF!
No Public lobbies
No Clubs
No gifting of cars or paints anymore
Free Play has been stripped.
No Auction House or Storefront.
Tuning has been dumbed down
No community leaderboards. Instead they offset with rival leaderboards
No affinity for car parts.
Intrusive monetizing offers whic...

Someone has to be a voice of reason and try to steer the misguided to the light. This is nothing like they showed at E3 and they need to be called out for it. With ALL their blathering about this game being the "definitive" racing game yet again and it's nothing more than Prologue version. Yet they charge full MSRP.

So many hardcore Forza fans turned away from the series with 4 because of the extreme nickel and diming of Turn 10. I am finally going to join them....

I TOLD YOU SO!
As one of the biggest Forza fans on the internet I have been saying all along this game will end up only being a mild bump in visuals from 4 to 5. Now that it's obvious I am cooking up some crow pie to those that disagreed with me and were blowing up my PM with nonsense.

This is why this game is able to run @1080p 60fps. It has half the content of Forza 4 and slight improvement in graphics. This game almost looks like it could have been done on X1 h...

That's a a very noticeable downgrade. Now we see why its 1080p 60fps. Half the content of Forza 4 and a bump, not a leap, in visuals.

Killzone is drop dead gorgeous. Runs smooth as silk and has incredible draw distance.

Ryse is none of the above.

If I was Sony I would absolutely use their power to their advantage while advertising the PS4. It's not like MS and their devs don't boast every chance they can get and usually it's wishful think and speculation (The Power Cloud). I mean how many times is Turn 10 or MS reps going to call Forza the definitive racing game...
