What's new

Next generation consoles

Looking pretty impressive so far. Now the games.

 
Hmm, Halo television series directed by Spielberg, not sure what to make of that.

Really?

I think it is going to be awesome. SS will do the Halo series proud. As a Halo fan I've been waiting for a live action for awhile and to get SS doing it is even better.

 
E3 for all the gameplay and games then, f**king hell another 20 days away...

I suppose it was also going to be that way, bloody annoying though.
 
I would be very surprised if I ended up using any of those features.

 
I see no use in the Kinect TV guide, sky guide is quicker and easier. They've confirmed that used games will require a "small fee" (read: probably the retail cost of the game minus £5).

They only showed 4 games, only one of which was confirmed to be running on the X-Bone and none of which featured gameplay footage.

Not a good unveiling at all really. Sony and Nintendo's shares rose, MS's dipped a bit.

 
They did show the consol itself though and got all tge features out of its way pretty much. Would say they have the best outcome for e3 now only having to focus on the gaming point of view, exclusives and so on!

For that reason alone i can't see myself getting the Xbox One. I am someone who only buys used games, i don't want to have to pay out more after i have bought it, i can't afford to do that.

Also think about parents with more than 1 child, they would need to pay out more money just so their other kid/kids can play the game. If you are rich then this is no big deal but a lot of people won't be able to afford this thing.

I am completely disappointed by this reveal, all Sony need to say is "used games WON'T require a fee" and they win, simple as that really.

 
Well yeah, it's like 5 years ahead compared to consoles. Never could get into it though, been using consoles since forever. 

 
"Xbox one"

I hear the graphics look sweet though

I have just now found out that this hasn't actually been confirmed, damn i thought we were done with these rumors.

 
Rumour I read is the used games thing is being pushed by the publishers, therefore it will be the same for the ps4.

Out of interest, have you kept all of your old consoles?

I gave my old PS1 away along with a rather large number of games, thought nothing of it at the time but came to bitterly regret it a few years later once the nostalgia pangs kicked in! :biggrin:

I wish I had...

I keep selling my consoles to cover part cost of the new one. I feel nostalgic thinking about my N64 (even though when I had it, I wanted a PS so I could have Shane Warne's cricket)

 
TOCA Touring Cars was the game that drew me to the PS, played it at a friends house and I was hooked, simply had to get it for myself.

 
I was quite lucky as a kid so i had

Gameboy>Gamegear>NES>SNES>Megadrive>PS1>PS2>PSP>PS3>Xbox360.

Saying that tho, from the PS1 i bought the rest myself.

I still have my gameGear and original Gameboy.

 
I have almost all the consoles, I gave my sister my PS2 and PS1 but I could easily get it back if I wanted. Never got a gamecube though, it was clearly a heap of sh*t.

Yes! Best racing game I had ever played until GRID came along.

Well, were to start on that announcement! Such a disappointing name infinity would of been much better, they're trying to turn a games console in to a full on entertainment system. MS have completely forgotten about their core fan base, the core gamers. IGN have done a survey about peoples reaction to the announcement and MS could be in trouble with it. Here have a look...

I have a TV to watch & a computer to surf the internet, I buy a games console specifically to play games. I can see me switching to Sony at this rate, it'll take something special at E3 to change my mind.
