I'm waiting for the day when a studio comes out and says: "what we have here is a generic shooter."
@Skizelli
I thought I was the only one! Ever since the last patch, I have been getting booted out of private lobbies.
IT'S HAPPENING!!!
The Perfect Microsoft E3 (obviously this won't happen exactly as I write it, but I feel this would go over huge).
- Show opens with announcer introducing Phil Spencer - no music or laser lights, but just a man on the stage talking to the Xbox universe. Phil talks about mistakes that were made and how they have been trying to change them. Phil apologizes for the original vision of Xbox One and for any wrongs that that vision may have inflicted upon gamers, whether real or ...
You forgot the host's jacket. I need that jacket. Not to ever wear it, mind you, but to occasionally look at it on a hanger in my closet and pat it lovingly while whispering: "someday..."
@-Foxtrot
I feel what you're saying for sure. We have an expectation of an Uncharted game - just that feel that you will get while you are taking it in. If you swing the tone too much, you lose that previous balance point and it becomes something else entirely. While it may be better or worse, it's not the same experience.
However, Lukas has some good points. If, instead of a shift in feeling, it's a sprinkling of elements of a different tone, eve...

Stop trying to make fetch happen.
MotorStorm was my first PS3 game - would love to see it cone to PS4. On a side note, the visuals from MotorStorm are still pretty good.
OMG!!! They are really going for the true SOCOM experience! That gun going up saved many of my lives back in the day - especially on Enowapi.
Also, note to devs - please bring back Enowapi. Best breach map ever.
@nicksetzer1
True, but I'm sure a lot of people would still want to upgrade 2, 3, and 4. Plus any additional content and the multiplayer. The pricing on that game will be very interesting. I think $49.99 is the sweet spot, but it will probably be full priced.
To be honest, I wish (by wish, I mean hoping for something unlikely) that Microsoft has somehow figured out a method of backward compatibility for the Xbox One involving discs we already own and titles we've already digitally purchased. That would be a megaton bigger than any one game and would certainly help sway 360 users to stay in the Microsoft camp - not for any numbers war or anything, but because more owners means more and longer software support.
Exclusives are exclusives. Which is worse - buying the rights to a game and making just that title exclusive to a particular console or buying a studio and making ALL of that studio's titles exclusive? At least the ones you mentioned are free to make games on any platform they wish (edit: except Double Helix - they're stuck with Amazon now).
@Silly gameAr
"It sure mattered last gen. Anyone remember the Bayonetta BS that went down? The game was just as awesome on the PS3, but it didn't look as good.
The 360 fanboys had a field day with that one."
That's revisionist history at best and an outright lie at worst. On release, the PS3 version of Bayonetta suffered from a slow frame rate that stuttered when you pulled off flashy moves, control lag/technical issues, scr...
@Lukas
Probably not, since it seems like your Xbox One will format the drive when you first connect it.
@DragonKnight
"Really? Is that why most media outlets describe Microsoft's E3 conferences as underwhelming, or at best mediocre? Hmmm, you would think that "bombshell reveals and previews" would tend to steer opinion into a more positive area rather than the innumerable articles about "who won E3" ending with Microsoft NEVER "winning" E3."
I answered your question. Who wins or loses is inconsequential - Microsoft is...
@DragonKnight
"What have Microsoft's E3 conferences have been most noted for?"
Bombshell reveals and previews, particularly at the end of the show (" one more thing...") See Halo game announcements, Grand Theft Auto IV, Final Fantasy XIII, Titanfall, etc. However they panned out to be in the grand scheme of things, they were pretty big deals when they happened.
Milo and Ursher and KKK outfits weren't memorable - th...
Microsoft has two major things on their side that they didn't before...
1. Good leadership - Phil Spencer is a gamer and has his finger on the pulse of Xbox people. He also has their attention (as well as that of other potential buyers). The changes made under his command have removed pretty much everything (obvious exception of raw power) that could be seen as inferior to the PS4 and the PlayStation ecosystem.
2. Being a cornered animal - let's face ...
@UnHoly_One
I agree that it is well within their rights to cut disconnecting players off, but it still isn't the best PR to be denying people access to online multiplayer that they paid for - especially if a reasonable alternative exists.
I wouldn't mind if they went the Killer Instinct route and put the repeatedly disconnecting players into "jail" so they would only play other people who disconnected a lot. I don't think they should ban them completely though - then you're talking about removing advertised functionality of a product and it gets murky. You would think that in this day and age, they would be able to log who quits games and turns off their power manually.
I don't know how the fake Killzone footage could be on a list of biggest or best Sony E3 moments, given the controversy and everything that followed. Replace it with The Last of Us reveal and the list is fine.
