What now to those that claimed Sony will have some form or DRM? What now?
Sony listens to their consumer base.
Did you pre-order it from the store directly?
Because I checked on their website and can't find any preorder information. It says wait until after conference.
I'm definitely pre-ordering 2 PS4's tonight regardless what it cost.
This XBOX fan isn't buying it.
I saw nothing today that changed my mind. Too much money ($499), too many restrictions, no rentals, nothing blew me away graphically. For me personally F5 looked the best but I'm a Forza nut so I'm slightly bias.
The only thing I liked was TitanFall but I will wait and see next year how that pans out. Maybe by then MS will rethink some of these lame restrictions.
Until then, I'm a pass as well.
I was shocked when they announced $499 MSRP and the crowd gave an underwhelming response. Already the general census on the net are mostly saying that's too much.
I didn't see anything that really impressed me graphically. Nor did I see anything that made me say, "ah the hell with it, I'm a gamer, yeah they are sticking it to me but I just gotta have this new console."
Although TitanFall looked like it will fun. Not graphically impressiv...
My sediments exactly.
When I first saw the game playing I was like MEH, looks pretty good, not great, but the deeper they got into the level the more I appreciated what Respawn did with the gameplay. It runs smooth, very similar to COD, and I like the wall and jet pack boost jumps. Plus mechs, who doesn't like mechs?
So I'm not going to front either, it does look fun.
Still a no for me though. MS has way too much splaining to do with their restrictions...
@Utalkin2me
My son and I are watching the press conference and he himself said, "is it me or is this choppy?" I said, it's not you. it is definitely choppy." Especially when the camera pans around the scenery.
So far I'm not seeing anything that is graphically appealing. KI looked like this generations SFIV but with old school frame rates.
So far this is a very mediocre event. They need to end strong just to keep the fe...
It looks like Street Fighter IV graphically but it doesn't have the fluid and smooth frame rate that SFIV has. As a huge KI fan this could've made me reconsider my stance but this looks like a 360/PS3 title and not next generation.
Maybe it is an XBLA game?
I'm bothered by the check in as well. It's one of the deciding factors as to why I won't purchase the XBOX ONE. One thing many aren't talking about is longevity.
With this 24hr online verification process from MS what will happen when they move on to their next iteration of hardware? Are we suppose to assume MS will never turn off the servers so the X1 will last as long as consumers want to use them?
They up and left the original XBOX like it ...
@New4Noobs
Nah. I'm just have a guy with an enabler for a wife. Only because she would rather me hang out in my gaming room instead of talking her ears off about things she has no interest in, me. ;)
@hdshatter
I have a gaming rig (dual GTX 590s) hooked up to the displays. Actually that was the selling point to the wife for being cool about my spending such a huge chunk of change on a dedicated gaming room with triple panels. But in all honesty, per my nam...

You and the other resident trolls can kid yourself all you'd like buddy.
XBL - BoodyBandit
Knock yourself out.
Just look at my profile pic under my account. That's a triple panel setup built mostly for Forza which take 3 Xbox 360's and 3 copies of Forza to support the 3 displays. As is the Fanatec CSR Elite wheel (The Official Forza Wheel) displayed in my photo. Than come back here and tell me how I'm not an MS gamer.
...
Exactly.
On the PS4 it will be a choice. I choose NOT to support any publisher that implements any form of DRM on the PS4. I am done with MS for doing it with their hardware (X1) and I will be done with any publisher that tries to implement that trash on the PS4. Regardless of which game it is or how much I have enjoyed the series over the years.
I wont support nickel and diming or anything that could be detrimental to the industry I have supported over the past 3 d...
No doubt about it.
They lost me and most of the gamers I know.
You don't tell consumers you have to hook up a motion and voice activated camera for the console to work. Nor do you tell them they need an internet verification at least every 24 hours or all you have is a dvd player (what about vacation, or kicking back in a room that has poor wifi reception or no hardwire?). It's ludicrous. Now they're telling us our games aren't actually ours. We have t...
Sony doesn't have to do anything to win E3. They won the entire next generation as of 12:01pm EST May 21st 2013.
MS handed them the next generation on a silver platter. All Sony has to do is say thank you, it wasn't necessary cause we would've smacked dat @zz anyway, but thanks none the less.
Next generation will be the 1st generation that I will only own 1 console. That console is the PS4.
That was a GREAT video.
I literally LMAO!
Mostly because it is exactly how I feel about this abomination MS is trying to pass off as a gaming console.

Do you think it's possible for MS to top the disappointment of the realization of Kinect (Skittles, where are yah boy? Dance, dance with Usher - shovel ware crap) vs the perceived expectations of what Natal (Milo and the ability to use this futuristic amazing device with hardcore games) was suppose to be? Just more smoke and mirrors from MS. Nothing a ton of money thrown at marketing and PR wouldn't take care of. More of MS and their bean counter approach to business.
Godfree
My wife knows more about gaming than you do. Why you bother recording your opinion to share with others boggles my mind.
On topic:
Why anyone tries to defend the direction DRM is headed is nonsensical at best and infringing on the rights as a consumer. No other entertainment industry does this and they are all doing fine even with the existence of used sales and rentals of their product.
This has NOTHING to do with fear and everything ...
What does Facebook, Apple, Google, or any other corporation have to do with majiebeast wrote? Nothing. You are deferring blame and doing the old 2 wrongs make a right excuse.
So MB's point remains valid.
Yours is just trying to excuse MS.
Why would anyone back MS with what they are trying to do to this industry with the X1? I simply just can't comprehend that at all and I have been a HUGE 360/XBOX gamer the past decade plus. But even I have my...
@abc
Sony will outsell MS worldwide.
I think all Sony has to do is go neck & neck or out pace MS in NA. MS tailor made the X1 for NA and that is where they are dominate. So if Sony can hold their own or best MS in the states? MS will rethink their decisions or possibly start giving away X1's with happy meals. Kind of like they did with laptops but more extreme.
All I have to say is google NSA, FBI and PRISM
Microsoft, Apple, and everyone else linked to this are denying that (spying on us for the government) as well.
I already am a PS+ member and will gladly continue to pay to have the freedom of all the used games and rentals I want, no restrictions of any kind and the PS4 is $100 dollars cheaper?
SONY TAKE MY MONEY!
XBOX GO HOME!
That was a megaton explosion Sony just unleashed (NO DRM, NO restrictions, $399). I guarantee that sealed the deal for a lot of fans that were on the fence being an MS fan and wondering if they should just say the hell with it and get a...
