Spinal was brutally honest.
Trust me. I'm an expert.
I knew Sony wouldn't implement unnecessary restrictions and fees. I can't wait for June 10th 9pm EST to see what's going on my list to pick up this Fall.
Hopefully this is for real.
I don't want any additional restrictions and fees from anyone. Keep everything as it is this generation into next gen. I'm hoping Sony stays true to the gamer.
It definitely worked for me. I had 2 of each (X1 and PS4) on my purchase list for this Fall. Now after seeing the direction MS is heading I'm only getting 2 PS4's. Now I'm also considering picking up a Wii U when I had no plans of doing so prior to May 21st. So this article rings true for me.
MS has lost it's way and are too controlling and greedy. I'm picking up my ball and moving on. I keep hearing "wait for E3" but I just don't understand ...

AGREED
When I saw the title to this article the first thing that came to mind was laughter.
MS has about as much chance at doing what this title reads as I do of hitting the lotto. They need to focus on how to sell this huge change of direction to their consumers before even considering eyeballing any other manufacturer in the industry.
Sony is probably asking themselves, what were MS thinking? But at th...

Never mind.
After reading it a few times I think I understand where you're coming from. I don't agree. But at least now I think I understand.
*heads spinning*
Both you guys beat me to it.
When I saw the title the first thing that came to mind was, "than explain why COD is so popular the last several years." Especially considering the GHOST looks to be much the same next gen considering it's the same engine is being carried over.
I am really looking forward to next gen and I really am hopeful that the top tier developers will give us more than just a prettier wrapper with the same old game play mechanics.
*APLAUSE APLAUSE*
ENCORE!
ENCORE!
Frankly I don't know what's more odd. stiggs 7 year old account with under 200 comments, his well placed sources, that he seems to get riled up when someone has concerns or complaints about the direction MS is taken with the X1, or the fact that anyone that disagrees with him is automatically a kid in his eyes.
Me thinks those sources might have a funky odor attached to them. If you know what I mean. Wash your hands stiggs ;)
Really going out on a li...
Me too! As soon as I saw the demo I was sold hook, line and sinker. The game looks amazing and it's not even completed yet.
It's just unbelievable how great it, not only looks, but moves (excellent animation). The PS4 looks to be an incredible piece of hardware. I can't wait to get my hands on one and Killzone Shadow Fall.

Anyone that reads this comment. If you haven't already, click on seanpitt23 video link. It's GREAT!
The only way MS will truly surprise the world is if they 86 every restriction (DRM, Kinect always connected, 24 hour authorization) and fee on used /rental games, announce a plethora of new IP's for their consumers. Not Kinect or XBL games but core new IP's and make XBL Gold free.
Most of that wont happen so they are...

That made me laugh.
I just picture someone buying it for an elderly relative whose mind is slipping a bit and lives with them. Hooking it up to the TV and saying, "here you go Uncle Eddie, talk to this. It will not only listen to you but actually do whatever you say."
Just imagine the youtube videos.
I know, I'm mean.

I don't care if MS put 100 billion dollars into games. They made hardware choices to make the XBOX ONE a more efficient multimedia device instead of given us gamers the best console they were capable of building.
All the rumors that people said, "wait until E3 or MS confirms or denies them" came true. Restrictions most gamers don't want and feel aren't needed. Not to mention the hoops they want us to jump through with used and r...
I have to say in all honesty, per my name sake, that the majority of N4G users (regardless if they are gamers of all consoles or swing from one side of the fence or another) have rightly so been harsh on MS and it's WELL DESERVED. Only a small minority are defending the direction MS is headed with the X1.
MS, regardless of their PR spinning we will get into the games at E3, reveal May 21st was extremely boring and turned off most gamers. It was more of a CES reveal than a...
I will make you a deal. Keep your wife, take mine, and give me your Vita.
I need it to go with my shiny new PS4 launch day. Definitely picking up a Vita now. This is great news!
This is the longest gen I can remember. I was ready for next gen 2 years ago. So yeah, I'm excited for next gen. I built a gaming rig to hold me over but most of my friends are console gamers.
PS4 day 1 even if I have to break out my camping gear to get one. I never wait. I have purchased every console at launch since, well, forever.
Fans rib each other. I don't see it as being a big deal. If it was no one would ever wear a headset when they game online.

Any game that runs on PS4 hardware can be considered a PS4 game. I mean that is all I heard the past few years on N4G is that exclusives don't matter. "Games are games whether they are multiplatform or exclusive. As long as they run on my console they are games for my console."
Maybe I'm just lost and confused. I am getting on in years and my memory isn't what it once was. ;)
I am most excited about the games that none of us know exist. Brand new IP's that take advantage of this new hardware.
The games I want to hear more about that I know exist?
Killzone
Infamous
Drive Club
Destiny
And any announcement (hopefully) from Santa Monica, Naughty Dog or Media Molecule.
This [quoted from the article] "By making Kinect mandatory (so much that the console won’t even function without it), Microsoft passed the message that those that don’t want or can’t use it will be marginalized, and won’t be able to enjoy Xbox One games to the fullest." is something I myself have a problem with.
My main gaming room can't be altered to accommodate Kinect and I'm not going through the hassle of even trying when I would never use it.
