So. The PS4 got revealed.
 
And I swear, I thought it was the XBox One.

But...

- Final Fantasy Vers... er, XV
- Kingdom Hearts III(if you're so inlclined)
- The Order 1866
- Destiny
- Mad Max [:O]

Oh... and used games are okay, you don't have to be always online/no online checks, and it's a hundred bucks less than XBox One.

So far, I think the general consensus is that Sony pretty much made Microsoft its...*cough*

Anyway, is anyone going to buy one this holiday season? I'd like to, but even if it's cheaper than XB1, I'm going to wait. Since I don't plan on going to Otakon next year, I can use the money to procure a PS4...

That video! [rofl]

I heard about all the, basically, XBox One jabs and kind of didn't believe it, but then saw the video from their conference and just thought "well damn." [lol]
I'm more excited to see how both consoles will fair once they're actually out. I've got ideas, but it's still fun to watch it play out.

The Ps4 reveal really rubbed me the wrong way. I always favor Sony over Microsoft but I think it's really cheap for Sony to sit back and let MS take all the flak for always online, DRM stuff when Sony wouldn't hesitate doing the same if they didn't see such backlash.

I heard the two big Square titles are multiplat too.

I kind of felt that way at first because they were really kind of kicking them while they're down, but they're competing business so for me it's understandable. I believe Sony considered some of the things Microsoft has implemented, but obviously they realized that it wasn't the right way to go. They played it smart so I can't fault them for that. In both of their cases, I think I'd rather be considered cheap than all the other things Microsoft is being considered. [lol]

To be fair though I think that Microsoft got what they deserved. The fact that the Xbox has to be turned on everyday is a stupid idea. What if you go on Holiday? (Vacation) You can't turn it on, then online access get's revoked. Plus the one copy per XBox issue. Then the issue of privacy (there is none) with the fact that the camera and the microphone in the Kinect are ALWAYS on. I don't want that in my house! I don't know who would? Also the price... it's ridiculous... I can buy a PS4 and a years online for less than just an Xbox One.

Microsoft got what they deserved. In ten years when they stop support for it you loose everything you bought even half the system. Because you lose the ability for it to do its checks thus the system itself becomes a glorified cable box and all your games physical or digital vanish. Forcing you to move to their newest gen instead of lingering in the old like now. Or just moving to pc that is already locked down by things like steam. Either way microsoft wins cus of windows.

Yet that is our gameing future because people will support it regardless of its drm because it is microsoft. Then sony and nintendo will see they chose the loseing side in this battle because fans dont care to think or do research. So in the end will do the same in their own next gen.

This was said by Xbox support on Twitter: "If your account is banned, you also forfeit the licenses to any games that have licenses tied to it as listed in the ToU."

Absolute wankers the lot of them...

I watched the E3 conference on youtube for the PS4- it was AMAZING! Mind you, I'm a huge Playstation/Sony fan :P

... and, I find the absolute irony that the Xbox One is more expensive than the PS4 fantastic. For the longest time Xbox fanboys were saying "our gaming system is so much better- and cheaper"... to which I responded "You pay for quality, and yours sucks :P"
Now their system is leaving them high and dry. Its more expensive, the Playstation graphics are (as always) better, and they've put in so many dumb little things that make it completely undesirable!! I'm sorry, if you have an Xbox One, are you supposed to get a house sitter to come in your house, put in the mail- and turn on your Xbox so it can do its daily internet check? How lame!
Then you have houses like my cousins, who can't afford to have nice internet, but still want to let their kids have a gaming system... obviously the Xbox One isn't going to cater to that type of family. But hey- you can do as Xbox suggests, and just not buy a next-gen console! D:

... or you can buy a PS4.

I like that option more :P
