LOL. Gamers are funny...
Sony gamers have often said that Halo was over rated, but as I watched this gameplay, I felt a completely at home as a Halo gamer... The mechanics of the game are exactly Halo...
Also, gamers are jumping to Sony as the savior against "always connected", but Sony spent about 30 mins in their conference showing this game and Assasin's Creed which are always connected games!
LOL... Too funny!
I guess gaming is no longer about games...
I expect PS4 will outsell X1 this holiday. But Sony will have huge supply problems and X1 will stay in the game.
Going forward MS has more room to move and reduce their price. Remember last gen... MS dropped 360 by $100 when PS3 came out and that helped them a lot. I don't think Sony will have that type of room in year one... Maybe $50... But not $100.
And year two and three are when the real next gen games start to show up... Year one, is just the...
QTE's were just finishers. I'm sure you can just continue hacking and slashing with finishing in style.
I'm not sure if the pricing is genius or not...
On the surface it is great, but if Sony cannot fulfill supply and it is constantly sold out it won't work so well for them.
Usually, in the first year, consoles have problems keeping up with demand. Judging by the response on Amazon, both consoles will sell out this year.
This year's sales will be about supply...
I don't blame publishers...
I blame retail outlets like Gamestop that refused to negotiate a cut with publishers and gamers who pirate games...
If Gamestop would've gave publishers a cut of used games and pirates did not exist, this would not have ever come about...
Titanfall is exclusive to X1 according to Xbox Wire...

Sony dragged for the first 35 mins... Gamers seem to care about music and videos all of a sudden. To me, its all about the games.
Sony B+, Microsoft A...
Ryse and The Order sawed off
Sunset Overdrive and Infamous sawed off
Quantum Break was very interesting
Killer Instinct was unanswered
Titanfall out did Killzone
Forza 5 out did Drive Club
Deadrising 3 was unanswered
FF XIV was unanswered
This does not preclude publishers from coding in their own online checks...
People can jump for joy that Sony is not limiting, but, I doubt publishers will let GameStop continue to exclude them from the used market...
After the PS3 dropped BC after the first year, it was clear to me that when a gamer looks at consoles this does not play a massive role.
Especially, if they know it is coming via the cloud.
If I have a limited budget, am looking at PS3 vs. PS4 right now, it is obvious I will wait for PS4... By the time I play through the launch games I will probably have BC.
Its funny....
"Gaming is about the games"...
How come everyone is in a tizzy about console price, DRM, online multi-player being free, etc. then?
From a games perspective we have a lot to look forward to...
Both consoles appear to have Witcher 3, Battlefield 4, Destiny, FFXV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Elder Scrolls Online, NBA 2K14, Mad Max, MGS V, Assassin's Creed IV, and Watch Dogs.
Xbox One has a bet...
This is a double edged sword...
Great price for a next gen console...
Bad for continued sales of PS3...
Most people won't be interested in PS3 with the price point PS4 comes in at...
But, kudos to Sony, this will move a lot of people to the next gen much quicker.
Gamer's paradise coming in the next gen this next year...
Destiny, Ryse, Killzone, Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Infamous, Elder Scrolls Online, FFIV, FFXV, Kingdom Hearts 3, MineCraft, Titanfall, Battlefield 4, Drive Club, The Order, Diablo III, Quantum Break, Deadrising 3, Mad Max, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed, MGSV, Witcher 3, D4, and Crimson Dragon...
I'm getting both consoles so I can get everything!
@wagnus... Harmonix already announced a new game for Kinect... Disney Fantasia...
Quantum Break, Killer Instinct, Forza 5, D4, Crimson Dragon, Deadrising 3, a new Minecraft, Ryse, and Sunset Overdrive weren't worthwhile?
Even Spark was interesting.
You are hard to please or maybe you're just trolling?
Integrated battery sux. I had to replace my PS3 controller 3 times because the batter doesn't hold enough of a charge.
By not integrating the battery you pay up front, but don't have to pay as much later. Also, it allows you to switch batteries without switching controllers or plugging your controller in.
They used Kinect several times in the demonstrations.
As well if they would've focused anything on Kinect a whole group of gamers would've cried about showing Kinect shovelware titles.
This is exactly what gamers wanted to see.
Its not like MS woke up after the last press conference and said we need to get some games. These games would've had to been started two years ago or more...
All they did was concentrate the games into one press conference.
What I really want to know is how many games are launch games and how many are coming later.
Console vendors are notorious for announcing and then stringing us along for several years while they figure the game out......
Really?
That's not what people who have driven the real cars and played Forza have to say...
For example, go to this link...

Totally, true, MS has not hidden anything. They have taken the fire and been upfront about their model.
Sony, slips in the PSN now requires plus for online play and they also have mentioned that it will be up to publishers whether they want a take on used games. Which I am sure most will want.
Also, Sony says their console doesn't need to be online but devoted 1/3 of their E3 presentation to games (Assassins Creed and Destiny) that say they have to be o...
