    Well if a company would show me both versions and the PS4 one doesn't require a Kinect or something similar then I think the PS4 version wins instantly.
    And since M$ has to justify having a constantly connected Kinect I think they will force the use of it in every game.

    Pet your dog in Call of Duty. Only with Kinect!

    Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that's a feature they're presenting at E3. :p

    Microsoft has cancelled a lot if not all 1:1 interviews with the press after E3. Not in a communicative mood, are we?

    well the way the press is ganging up on them right now all they could is lose. But it is well deserved I say.

    The source for that article is a random poster in NeoGAF. Don't drink the koolaid on that one.
    NeoGAF tends to react pretty swiftly in terms of banning people who spread false information. It's definitely possible to lie there, but you generally only get away with doing so once.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm completely willing to believe it, since I grew up in the Browser War era in which I heavily backed Netscape and angry denounced Microsoft's monopoly efforts in expanding IE's market share. I know they play dirty. I just want to wait a moment to see if it can't be validated.

    To be honest though: Is any of both consoles ready to play games at E3. The One we saw but does the PS4 actually exist?
    Most games on these conventions are shown on a PC.
    Well if they even do show gameplay at E3. Most of the big companies will only show their safe trailers that cannot crash in public when all the press is around...

    or the 'gameplay' is actually a pre-recorded video footage...

    just like the unviel was..notice how the dude who was shrinking/enlarging the screens did one bit in the center of the the stage and another bit of kinect stuff at the right side in front of a 'black shroud hut thing'

    Nintendo, you will win E3 if you announce a new Nintendogs to coincide with the CoDog jokes.

    The devs have to make a demo - which takes time, but with Microsoft's support and financial aid, it should be doable. These are supposedly launch titles, and if you can't make a demo five months before launch, you're pretty much fucked.

    Microsoft buying off publishers is apparently absolutely true as of yesterday, so unless a pub says a game is 100% exclusive to One, assume it'll have a PS4 version because it'll probably not be said by the company.

    Anyway, anyone else watching the conferences?

    Ha. I called it. Killer Instinct.

    A long requested sequel to an overrated fighting game made by NONE of the original developers? Sign me up!

    So far, Microsoft is doing a great job of making me not give a shit. Their cast of unlikeable infomercial hosts doesn't help.

    The big news? We're giving away 4+ year old games to subscribers. Joy.

    What people seem to be missing is that their attempt to capitalize on the one thing PS+ does better than Gold (other than not locking everything but playing the physical piece of plastic behind a paywall) is that this deal only extends until the launch of the One.

    How the HELL do you write an OBVIOUSLY SCRIPTED demo for the press, and decide the best way to go is to put a woman on stage, dominate her, and use lines like "Just let it happen, it'll be over soon"?

    Does nobody vet ANYTHING over there?!

    Yeah... That was bad. There is a lot of female backlash from the press conference. That, and the lack of women in anything displayed.

    Just lay back and think of Xbox live.

    Well in the UK it's 1am so guessing that you take away 5 or 6 hours for the US I would say 7 or 8pm for people in the US

    I wonder how puzzlebox felt sitting there.

    Wait so let me get this right, during Microsoft's E3 show, they basically acted like a bunch of 8 year olds playing Cod?

    It's just Microsoft acting like the kinds of people you find on their online service and do nothing about.

    So what else is new? This shit has been going on since the days of the Super Nintendo (and probably before that).

    "Wow, you like this?"
    "No, I don't like this!"

    So Microsoft is offering Xbox Live members games that came out in 2007 and 2008 to try strike at Sony's Playstation Plus service. Hmmm let's see here. PS Plus gives me at least 3 free games a month and some of those could have come out in 2 years or less. Look at the games coming this Wednesday. Uncharted 3 which came out at the end of 2011 so about a year and a half ago, LBP Karting which came out around seven months ago, and XCom which came out around September-November while Xbox offers 2 free games from over 4 years ago a month -_-.

    Also did they serious act like 8 year old Cod fans during it? From the way you guys made it sound, they acted like the idiot assholes online who think they are big shit and then get their ass kicked.
  • edited June 2013
    Not really. It was just some guy showing off a new game stick in Killer Instinct. He just kicked a woman's ass at it and uttered that horrible phrase.

    Most of it was developers presenting their games and that numbnut from Microsoft talking about how great their console is.
  • edited June 2013
    At least it was all about the games...
    And Smart Glass...(sigh)

    Yes. They could have at least used "Tonight I'm Fucking You" by Enrique Iglesias in the backgroud.

    What do you expect? Let's all face it, The Xbox One is one load of shit. If your internet goes off it becomes a paperweight after 24 hours without internet. While it does not force a fee i doubt that many Developers will not use the fee. They paid off Developers to try and make their crappy console look half way decent only to get caught out, They act like a 10 year old to a woman when showing off Killer Instinct which sorta encourages the kind of stupid annoying behavior that you see when playing games like Cod online and Finaly they try to one up the excellent PS Plus service by offering 2 four year old games a month while PS Plus has 3 free games (5 if you have a Vita) and most of them are barely 2 years old. Microsoft....please just stop.....you've basically a joke of the Xbox with the Xbox One in my opinion.
  • edited June 2013
    OK. Here's what's been announced (so far as I can tell):

    - A new version of the XBox 360 with a design based on that of the XBone. Yay.
    - XBox Live Gold members get two free games a month, starting with AssCreed 2 and Halo 3, both games you can buy pre-owned for a pittance. And, as an E3 bonus, Fable 3 - though that one sucks. Hard. Do better, Microsoft.
    - Games! Lots of games were announced! Yay?
    --- World of Tanks: 360 Edition (so doesn't count!)
    --- Killer Instinct! And it's not being made by Rare! This might not suck!
    --- Sunset Overdrive looks awesome, but I don't know if it's XBone exclusive. Hope not!
    --- D4, a Swery65 cell-shaded episodic murder mystery. Colour me curious.
    --- Dead Rising 3 is an exclusive to the XBone.
    --- New Halo! Don't know if it's a sequel or prequel or what, but it's Halo. 'nuff said.
    ...and a bunch of others I couldn't care about.

    Price and release date has already been mentioned: $499/£429/499€ and November.
