[QUOTE=cody8295;41102380]Congrats to Microsoft for un-fucking themselves.[/QUOTE] Honestly it doesn't matter how many things they try to fix, nothing will un-fuck their reputation of planning to completely screw their own customers.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;41102443]It doesn't change much. Kinect is still mandatory, the console is still overfocused on sports and TV, the partnership with EA isn't going away, and so far the PS4 is still showing more potential.[/QUOTE] Where are people getting the overfocus on sports and TV stuff outside of the announcement event where they said "Yeah games at E3"? I haven't been thoroughly following the news but everything I have seen in the past month has been about everything but TV.
[QUOTE=Boxbot219;41102487]Honestly it doesn't matter how many things they try to fix, nothing will un-fuck their reputation of planning to completely screw their own customers.[/QUOTE] Consider the fact that Sony was basically the laughing stock of the gaming community back in E3 2006. As much as I've heard people claim that the console war is already over, it hasn't even begun. There are exciting times, people! Video games are back!
Now make online free, kinect optional, don't add ads in the future, and don't hire fuckheads for the big stage.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41102568]Now make online free, kinect optional, don't add ads in the future, and don't hire fuckheads for the big stage.[/QUOTE] Online won't even be free on the PS4, I highly doubt Microsoft will be doing that now.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;41102593]Online won't even be free on the PS4, I highly doubt Microsoft will be doing that now.[/QUOTE] I thought it was free unless its PSN+ besides it's only 5/M anyways.
.....this is good. This is genuinely good for all gamers. I'm still not buying one though. Mods alone keep me on PC and I can't afford a console anyway.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41102600]I thought it was free unless its PSN+ besides it's only 5/M anyways.[/QUOTE] Xbox Live is only five dollars a month as well, though PS+ is a very superior service.
Wonder what Gamestop is going to do now.
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;41102618]Xbox Live is only five dollars a month as well, though PS+ is a very superior service.[/QUOTE] The difference in cost is something like 10$ a year Xbox being 60 PS+ being 50 It's negligible
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;41102628]Wonder what Gamestop is going to do now.[/QUOTE] Sell the console like every other console they sold?
Still not worth getting
I get the feeling that if Microsoft confirmed the Xbox One will be free, and print money to all users, people would still buy the PS4 over it at this point.
[QUOTE=Liem;41102635]The difference in cost is something like 10$ a year Xbox being 60 PS+ being 50 It's negligible[/QUOTE] To be fair, in the long run, 6 years, thats a 160$ difference. Because ps4 is 100$ less.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41102568]Now make online free, kinect optional, don't add ads in the future, and don't hire fuckheads for the big stage.[/QUOTE] Just letting you know, the PS3 totally has ads on the dashboard and the PS4 will likely follow that. Top right of the screen along with the time and date, you get scrolling text saying stuff about Sony, Music, Movies, and Games. It also boots you into the PSN tab which will load some tiles on the right which also display ads. Not as intrusive as the 360's stuff, but it totally has ads.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;41102628]Wonder what Gamestop is going to do now.[/QUOTE] Make more money? :v:
Too late Microsoft. Sony and Nintendo already have my money.
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;41101927]This is good news, however I'm going with ps4 this generation. Though I'm not going to buy it till the crew/ kingdom hearts is closer to release. Since the other game I wanted (watch_dogs) will be on PC.[/QUOTE] KH3 is coming to Xbox One
the only exclusives the ps4 has going for it is killzone and infamous
[QUOTE=cluckmoo;41102748]the only exclusives the ps4 has going for it is killzone and infamous[/QUOTE] And Xbox one just has...Halo? Forza? Roman QTE the game?
Oh well, Microsoft will turn all their annoucements around due to the reaction of gamers, and then come out on top. They weren't serious, they were testing the market and the reactions. Watch as more stuff gets retracted.
[QUOTE=Shibbey;41102654]I get the feeling that if Microsoft confirmed the Xbox One will be free, and print money to all users, people would still buy the PS4 over it at this point.[/QUOTE] That's bandwagons/bad press for you.
[QUOTE=cluckmoo;41102748]the only exclusives the ps4 has going for it is killzone and infamous[/QUOTE] Plus whatever games Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Santa Monica, Japan Studio, Team Ico, and all of Sony's other first party studios are working on.
Damn, xbox had supplied me some really good laughing fights over these last few days.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;41102628]Wonder what Gamestop is going to do now.[/QUOTE]Hand out new flyers.

Congratulations, you have successfully removed all "ads" from the PS3
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;41102801]And Xbox one just has...Halo? Forza? Roman QTE the game?[/QUOTE] Halo and Forza are both extremely popular and Forza is very good even if a lot of people are like "lolcars" ">racing games"
forza 5 man I don't know. Any word on gran turismo 6?
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;41102940]Halo and Forza are both extremely popular and Forza is very good even if a lot of people are like "lolcars" ">racing games"[/QUOTE] Halo isn't so popular anymore and the PS4 has it's own racing game that doesn't look too bad.
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;41102918]Set the date to a year ahead. Congratulations, you have successfully removed all "ads" from the PS3[/QUOTE] Going along with the argument that some people use for the DRM stuff: They still exist/existed and that's a terrible thing.
