Post-FFX Squeenix is shit in my eyes until they prove otherwise. Neither of these games is interesting to me yet, but I realise I'm kinda in the minority there.

I'm with you on that front.

7 was the peak for the series with 9 being a fun celebration of the series and X being the quint-essential 21st century game. Everything that followed from the MMOs and JRPGs was utter stagnation for the series. It's a shame, because they tried to do something different with the genre but let themselves down with a linear narrative.

I was a fan of the original KH and they completely lost me when the game continued down that Chain of Memories narrative. The sequel has to be one of the biggest disappointments of all time.

God I hope this is a joke...

Killer Instinct is a day-one digital-only release on Xbox One, and features -- get this -- one character. Jago is free to play on launch day. Everyone else -- unspecified returning characters as well as original fighters -- will cost money. Price is to-be-determined (of course).

Kingdom Hearts was the first game I had on PS2. Love the franchise, but hated that it was split over about 4 different platforms.

And yeah, the FF series is probably my most fave series going round. Did you know they're re-releasing FFX later this year in HD for PS3?

FF 4-10 are amazing. Everything they've done lately though..meh. XIII looked awful. I'll admit I havent played it. It just didnt look interesting. Aside from that they're churning out overpriced re-releases of everything they can on iOS. Hopefully XV is a welcome return to form.

KH... finished the first one. Didn't like it enough to follow the sequels. The plot was nonsense and not in a good way.

Yet another blow for XBO;

PS4 is region free for games, XBO not.

Couldn't give the slightest shit about CoD or BF.... just don't have the time required to invest in becoming passable at multiplayer.

Halo is the only big multiplayer FPS i'll get because
a) I love the setting. For me grandiose scifi nonsense beats modern warfare super not really realism every time.
b) I'm already decent at it. Time investment is minimal.

are you tho...? :sarcasm:

holy shit tone lol

 

[Parra Pride]

It's official, I'm buying a Wii U in October.

 

[Apey]

I don't particularly care about this stuff but I love the gifs coming from it

 

[Dragon]

Yeah wiiU is looking pretty damn good right now

 

[Parra Pride]

That Megaman in my SSB.

 

[kurtburt]

Jeez that Tom Clancy The Division looks good, defiently buying it on day 1.

I thought both consoles were fairly even in the specs department other than the fact Microsoft haven't revealed what GPU they're using yet. There are strong rumours that the Xbox One has 50% less graphical power than the PS4, but it's not yet confirmed.

It's likely true though just from the fact Microsoft still haven't revealed it yet.

People in the industry have basically confirmed it, the hardware is quite similar at a base level, PS4's is just more powerful. Better GPU, faster RAM, simpler architecture

The big difference was Sony going for GDDR5 RAM which would have looked like a long shot when they started building the system, while MS went for roughly the same sort of RAM and set up as 360 - which has gotten them into a lot of complications and meant less resources for the GPU

 

[jargan83]

Sign me up for a Wii U as well!

 

[perverse]

lol... I find the most interesting reaction from this E3 to be the shift in perception of the Wii U. It's like suddenly everyone has gone "oh wait, that's right, there's going to be kickarse Nintendo games on it!!"

 

[Micistm]

I'm a big fan of Nintendo, but I was disappointed with their upcomings. I love my 3DS XL, but it's crying out for a FP Metroid! ;-) A really awesome new Metroid Prime would shift WiiU units too. Smash Bros, cool, but the Ninty machines need more than the platformers. They have so many awesome franchises that need to emerge. Zelda of course is always welcome, marios n DKs are always good...but Metroid, F-Zero...where?

Microsoft making sure they really highlight the different approaches towards the consumer between them and Sony.

For me personally I'm getting a PS4 and as a ps plus member I get driveclub at launch for free so thats pretty sweet otherwise I'm looking forward to Knack, Killzone and The Witcher( I hope that comes out this year). For 2014 Infamous, The Order 1886(which I still have hopes is a launch game) and Destiny all look really good, would love to hear some more from capcom on Deep Down as well.
