How could they win? By announcing that they were "just kidding" with the XB1 and introduce the all new XBox Two! Other than that, (which isn't gonna happen), nothing. They are going to lose big time this E3. Someone pass me the popcorn, it's gonna be fun to watch this!
Gee, functionality that can be replicated on my $35 Chromecast! Let me go run out right now and spend $400 for this!
Sorry, but these apps are lame...especially since they STILL don't have parity with what the 360 console already has!
Actually, I think it's Microsoft who has the most to prove this E3. If THEY don't show something compelling, the WiiU will still end up beating out the Xbox One.
I already own a PS4...I am not buying an Xbox since 95% of the games will be available on both the PS4 and the Xbox, and will look and play better on the PS4 as well! But I may get a WiiU to go along with my PS4, since Nintendo has games and experiences that are unique to their console.
Oh, look! It's another EA game that I will be boycotting! Shame, I would really like to play a good NHL game...Is 2k making an NHL game this year?
So instead of a game running at 792p/46.5fps, you are going to have it run at 792p/50fps! Yay?
Sony is already at over 8 million consoles sold to end users. MS hasn't even hit 5 million yet. Do you really think that they can make up a 3-4 million unit deficit this year? Not likely.
Considering Halo 5 isn't going to be released until after NEXT e3, Uncharted. Why even show games that won't ship until fall 2015???
Part of the problem is the devs are unwilling to dial the graphics back on the X1 to achieve better resolutions and frame rates!
Look, on a PC game, if your GPU isn't cutting it, you turn off shadows or lower the detail of the textures, and BOOM, you get faster refresh rates and can run the game at higher resolutions...but, since everyone is afraid of the inevitable side-by-side comparisons, they are trying to push the same level of detail on the X1 as they are on the PS4...
I'm sorry, what? I read through the article twice, just to see if I missed anything. "Momentum"? Xbox sales have been FALLING since the Titanfall spike (which fell off rather quickly, don't you think?).
So MS is going to go up on stage, and announce a few titles we haven't heard of yet, and many that we have already heard about.
Halo 5? Not releasing until after NEXT E3! Gears? Again, nowhere NEAR release. Sunset Overhype? Yes, t...
Don't fear the LCD screen! It still looks DAMN good, and you get significantly better battery life! Plus, the new model can be charged with a standard microUSB cable. Well worth the trade off, IMHO.
Still overpriced. Still underperforming.
Good lord, another "secret sauce" article! Tell you what, Microsoft...when you have a game that uses all this sauce to give a superior experience than your competition, THEN brag about it. I am sick to death of reading story after story about how DX12, Cloud computing, and SDK tweaks will "improve" the sub-par performance of your overpriced, underperforming, underselling console! SHOW us that it's a better value, don't just keep talking about magic fairy dust th...
I am hoping this does really well, I REALLY want to see developers take advantage of the Vita and offer 2nd screen functionality (ala WiiU) in games!
I have one of the new ones...don't worry, the screen still looks great...and I am ok with it not looking QUITE as good, since it has significantly better battery life AND can be charged with a standard USB micro plug instead of a proprietary charger. Worth the trade off, IMHO.
XMB isn't on the PS4...not sure what they are calling it, but it's definitely not the same UI as on the PS3.
Really, I am totally baffled by how EA manages to sell as much as they do. They SHOULD be out of business by now. Any intelligent gamer would avoid their games after being burned by their "business first, gamers last" philosophy! I mean, come on! Sim City...Battlefield 4 (still buggy as all hell)...Madden...FIFA...the list goes ON AND ON. How many BAD GAMES do people have to buy before they boycott the brand?
@LoneWolf019 Yes, BF4 has a beta...it's still ongoing! I would suggest EA fix their EXISTING BF game before working on a new one!
Between the incredible line up of games they will announce, Project Morpheus (hopefully, more concrete details on when we will see it at retail!), Vita, and Playstation Now...they are going to OWN this E3!
For $5, who cares if you can't resell! GREAT game, and yes, it is a huge download, but even on my 15mbps connection, it only took a few hours...start the download before you go to bed, it will be ready to play in the morning.
I don't care how good it is. Yes, I do make a habit of not buying ANY EA games, after being burned multiple times by their "profits first, gamers last" corporate philosophy. I also refuse to shop at Wal-Mart and I also make a point of buying American made products wherever possible as well.
If you don't bother shopping with a conscience (voting with your wallet), you DESERVE to be ruled by the corporations. Oh, and by the way, you also lose the right to c...
