Lucky you, Titanfall is also a PC game.



What do you say now after the $399 announcement for PS4? $500 still worth it?

399 isn't that bad but the Xbox after the reception they have gotten will most likely drop the whole used game idea with in the first year.And possibly a price drop next e3.

As far as the games went Ryse looked epic and so did Titan fall.the fans finally got Killer Instinct i'm not a big fighting fan so i couldn't care less.And Halo not being named five has me interested in what those women have going on over there.

I think it's safe to assume it was Halo5, given the giant forerunner creature in the trailer.

FYI Killer Instinct is Free 2 Play. Wonder how much it is for everything.

After yesterday I've made a fairly big decision.. I'm gonna swap over to a PS.

I'm a pretty big gamer.. I've got nearly 80K GS but for me the PS just seems much more focused on Gaming.

When Halo gets released I'll pick up a One.. By which time it'll probably be a chunk cheaper too!

I know it's Halo 5, but i'm saying will they name it that?

Hmmm I think they will

343 Industries said previously that Halo 4 was to kick off a new Halo trilogy so would kind of break pace to not call it Halo 5 in my mind

A name change is till very much a possibility but for now likely to be Halo 5

Same here but not a casual gamer, i have 129k and 99,3% of completion.

Microsoft made some huge mistakes.You can't be a real gamer anymore with the xbox one.Achievements for doing nothing? No thanks...

Higher price than I would have liked, might possibly put another tick in getting the PS4 first.

It's looking increasingly likely I'll hold off jumping into the next-gen this year. Hold off, see how it plays out then make my decision.

I dont know whats worse that


saying no internet connection go buy a 360


MS is starting to go off the deep end

Do we know if it will be able to play 3d disc yet?

 

[thunda123]

That Xbox info is terrible. What a joke. How could they be so unprepared for all of this? Oh well. I'll be buying the PS4 first anyways so not a big deal for me, but they've got a mess on their hands.

Xbox One online authentication uses kilobytes of data - Phil Harrison

12th Jun 2013 | 18:36

Speaking to The Telegraph, Microsoft corporate vice-president Phil Harrison has attempted to alleviate concerns regarding Xbox One's online authentication.

"We do recognise there will be these very rare edge cases where for whatever reason your internet is down," Harrison told the Telegraph. "In those few occasions you don't have access to your usual broadband connection, you could tether your Xbox to your mobile phone. The 24-hour ping takes kilobytes of data."

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today
– There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.


Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console

For me it all depends on how they own up to their mistakes, if they hold their hands up and say yeah we were wrong then fair enough...respect.

I still want one of course I do, just not at lunch, Needle and the damage done.

 

[Jace88]

As much as I like that they removed the restrictions....too little too late for me....major nelson and all those execs were so smug when they introduced all of this crap in the first place...no sir, they are not to be trusted!
