Uhm, Microsoft has actually backtracked on the price too. It's going to sell for roughly the same price as PS4.

Microsoft's marketing department should be fully replaced. I alone would have done a better job at properly protecting the brand and making the correct marketing choices.

Did they? After claiming they are delivering too much for $500?

Even if it's a complete fake, it's still amusing & not completely wrong

But some remarks though:
- I never sell my games & few people are actually doing it ... but sharing, hell yes.

YOU JUST WANTED THE FUCKING CONSOLE AS BEFORE.

- Quite frankly, yes. The only new thing (aside from better graphics & better technology) I wanted is some kind of skype device allowing direct discussion with friends while playing ... And I didn't get it

- I don't believe in cloud computing ... not yet. As long as everyone in the "civilized" world is not with high speed connections, it's undoable. At my parents house, I already have problems watching a youtube video ... (connection is thankfully better at my place)

- Yes we love steam. We love steam for proposing 6 months old game at 5-10 euros, not because it's fully online because frankly, having to download 10 gigas if you have a slow connection is fucking annoying. Plus, It happened way too often that I wanted to play a game and there were issues with steam ... So, yeah, I like steam. For the special offers & that's it

- "out-of-shape 20-something sit in their underwear" ... That's just so wrong. I'm wearing a t-shirt along with my underwear

btw guys,.... found this around, which i dunno is even allowed or not here (http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitio...-blocking-make-the-3ds-and-wii-u-region-free?). someone started a petition for making the Nintendo products region free. the chance is big now, now that the XOne is also regoin-free, leaving Nintendo alone, and they're already trying to prove themselves these days. i know many may not care about nintendo, but anyway, i hope this works.

and ya, MS already lost many fans, or at least the fans' trust. they came up with what they called 'a vision' for themselves, (which was just some ripoff), and then reversed it all cause of low pre-orders. so, ya, u'll see many with thoughts that MS may someday return some of their policies after they sell well and get back up again with some games. a funny thing is it being annouced as region-locked before the reversal... they say they listened to fans and stuff, and if the DRM was their 'vision' that fans just didn't like, why did they announce region-locking in the first place? region locking wasn't som'n new that needed fans' opinions again.

Interestings new about Titan Fall.

Apparently there is no single player. I find that pretty disappointing. I guess I can understand not wanting to focus resources on that but story in games matters to me. It helps me immerse myself in whatever the fiction the game creating and without it games never feel quite as good to me.

Thoughts?

Ah, one of the highlight of the E3. It's not exclusive to Xbox One anymore I believe ? I'm not sure.

I'm not surprised by the lack of singleplayer or story mode despite the narrative staging of your arrival in a multiplayer game (I mean your arrival in the battlefield). They seemed to have a lot of work with the game engine and technical stuff related to that already, and for their debut I understand they want to play "safe". I suppose there are more uncertainties related to the fact that they'll be among the first game for the next-gen console and they don't know yet the future face of the console market.

Timed console exclusive is what I've read. So Xbox One or PC's for now. They announced it wasn't Windows 8 exclusive too, whatever that means.

Apparently Project Spark will also be on the Xbox 360 and PC and you can sign up for the beta here.

There is a rumor going around that Google is planning to make a game console.

GTA 5 gameplay video is out on the interwebz...you favourite games news site probably already has footage...

I have to admit, it's the first GTA game that looks interesting, from GTA 2 onwards

Must admit that I've never played GTA but damn that trailer looks amazing. There are too many good games still to play on current gen consoles, next gen can wait a while.

A new Rachet and Clank game:

Ratchet and Clank are back! The beloved duo return with an original single-player epilogue to the acclaimed Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time. Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus is a story-driven platform adventure with humor and heart, featuring outrageously upgraded weapons, extreme planet hopping and brand new worlds begging to be explored. Into the Nexus marks a true return to form for the acclaimed series.

After one of the most infamous manhunts in galactic history results in the capture of Vendra Prog, Ratchet and Clank offer to escort the dangerous criminal to the Vartax Detention Center. After a daring orbital jailbreak at the forgotten edge of the galaxy, Ratchet and Clank find themselves lost in an abandoned sector. There, in deepest space, they uncover an inter-dimensional event that threatens the universe—and forces Ratchet to decide what’s really important.

The GTA games are all pretty much the same which gets boring. GTA San Andreas is really the only one that stood out for me, and I had the most fun playing it. GTA 5 looks decent i guess

What is starting to bother me about the GTA 5 news is how game media people are falling all over themselves because it has 3 protagonists you can switch between. Why are they acting like that's never been done? RPG's used to do the same thing all the time but they stopped because it invariably F'd up the story in some way. There is always this one character that isn't as good as the others and it drags the whole experience down. That's what always happens.

Still there are some things that should help. The return of the ability to buy real-estate is big. Hopefully means you'll be able to do more than just remain a criminal errand boy like in GTA 4.

Also the online thing could be great.

San Andreas and 3 was the only ones I loved to play. Haven't played 1 or 2, but after San Andreas I lost interest in the series.

A XBOne developer answered some questions from Reddit users about the next-gen console.

 

[zelllogan]

It's "only" a transport-based open world. I get bored easily in the kind of game. For GTA 3 & San Andreas, there was a surprise effect but that surprise effect is long gone. It's basically an rpg without real possibility of evolution for your character. Rockstar will try adding content to make it even more complete but I will likely end up comparing it to Skyrim & then I will just laugh.

Even if the gta5 trailer is impressive technically, I just don't see the appeal of this kind of game anymore

Anyone watching EVO? KOF13 finals was so epic again!! Can't wait for SFIV later
