Here is a breakdown of games from E3, including which ones are exclusives:

I swore a blood oath to never buy a game machine from Sony when PS2 came out for not changing their crappy controller. I did the same for PS3 and now PS4. I have scars on my arms because of Sony!! :sad:

The Kinnect stuff they discuss in this video makes it much more appealing

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Elderberry essence in a cocktail makes a very nice addition that rounds out the flavors very nicely.

This!

Have poor Internet? MS says essentially "piss off, you're stuck with 360"

I have a fantastic connection but this type of attitude seals the deal that I wouldn't buy the console at even half price.

I'm pretty sure you just told me to cut myself. :lol:

I wish people would read through the thread before posting the same article like 10 different times....

The idea that the cloud can perpetually change the world you play in is very intriguing but at the same time you should never truly have to rely on the internet to play a game.

Apparently the xbone games that are playable at e3 aren't even running on an xbone.

You fight like a dairy farmer!

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

yeah, there's an article on Gizmodo of a press guy taking a peek behind the curtain and it was hooked up to a laptop. He took a picture and got put in Microsoft "jail." :lol:

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Ha. To be fair, I'm sure the PS4 s the same.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

You have to understand that a lot of xbox fanboys (myself included) are very pissed about a lot of the new console features and are just let the F down by it and have SERIOUSLY made up our minds to not buy the damn thing already.

Yeah, crying about it is kind of pathetic but I see it more as we're just showing frustration - I honestly think that since now we all know Sony has the better system (as it relates to the retarded features that it left out but M$ kept) ......our bitching/crying will fade away soon.

There is one other benefit to retail copies. Deals, sales, clearances, etc.

:wtf: Let's take everything that makes Dead Rising unique out of the game and make a generic brown zombie game. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Love the first comment.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

One would hope. However, it's possible for download games to have deals and sales too, so it's not a clear benefit. It all depends on how Microsoft and publishers approach it.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Yeah, every year Steam has a big summer sale and an even bigger Christmas sale.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

It's pretty normal for the game demos to not be running on the actual consoles during these launches; the first E3 where the 360 launched, the demos were running on Mac's.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Yes but I'm talking like retailer incentives on day one. Will MS sell a new game for $40 or offer up a $20 credit towards the next game you buy digitally? Sure months down the line the digital version will get a sale, but release week? I have my doubts.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Just got back from E3. Played Killer Instinct and it was actually pretty awesome. I randomly was talking to the game designer while waiting for a match to end and he seemed to know his shit and what fans want. The game was fun and pretty, and I suck at fighting games :)

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

The difference between Steam and the Xbone is that Steam is competing against many other digital distributors of PC games, which makes the environment closer to B&M retail space. Microsoft would be competing against no other distributors for games, unless they're trying to entice PS4 gamers to also by an Xbone. It would be like Gamestop being the sole distributor for physical video games. There's no competition, so no incentive to drop prices, at least not at first.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

It has better specs, too. There's no reason to buy an xbone.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

I don't think the industry is going to move to completely digital-only any time soon anyway, so until that happens there's still retail boxed versions of games that can be discounted from other retailers on the One. Physical copies of PC games haven't gone away yet.
