500 smackers....in this economy? Well thats the icing on the cake...that I will never eat.

*cough* $500 bones *cough*.

Really don't see the Xbox One selling all that well at launch. PS4 keeps looking better and better.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2013, 02:31:55 PM »

PS4 doesn't look all that good either, especially with them keeping the worst controller design of the last 15 years.

Yikes, that price.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #29 on:** June 10, 2013, 02:41:32 PM »

Xbone $499 in November

Killer Instinct looked awesome. Way better than the 90s claymation looking crap. I'm expecting microsoft to pull a WB and buy their way into next years evo.

So what happens if PS4 is $500 as well. I mean they have everything Microsoft does with better parts and way more expensive ram.

It sucks but I expected $500 for both at the hgh end. I think microsoft could have used a crappy basic model as well.

Well, that's your opinion. Mine's quite the opposite.

As for the Microsoft conference, I love shooters. I really do. I'm playing one right now in Call of Juarez: The Gunslinger, but I was getting serious shooter fatigue watching that press conference. And NONE of those shooters were as colorful as Gunslinger is. I don't give a **** about Metal Gear and The Last of Us is pretty much the last Zombie game I have any interest in so Dead Rising 3 didn't do anything for me either. Pretty much the only two games that had my interest were Insomniac's game and Project Spark, and what do you know...those were the two big games with color in them. And yeah, Microsoft was certainly keeping things classy by throwing in rape jokes while playing a fighting game (Killer Instinct) where a woman was one of the players.

And CERTAINLY not least: $500 for a console where you're paying $60-$70 to rent a game ON TOP OF your $60 a year Xbox Live Gold subscription to play them online. And none of your Xbox 360 games transfer over. **** THAT NOISE!

Not surprisingly, the gaming media is now circling their weapons around Microsoft, except for this industry's real journalists: the bloggers.

But you have to admit but because you didn't like those games mean squat right? I mean Microsoft announced a new Kinect sports games and they didn't even show it.

The sunset overdrive guy looked oddly enough like Mark Cerny.

Could someone explain to me why people were surprised by $499?

They certainly showed games, but I don't think they showed games worthy of a $500 console. I just saw more of the same in that lineup. If you like that, great, but chances are you're probably fine with your existing 360 for now.

As for the price tag, I think people were expecting a cheaper system with a subsidized option, which MS didn't announce.

I think at least partially because all the analysts spent the last week saying it was going to be under $400.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #35 on:** June 10, 2013, 02:59:08 PM »

Analysts are wrong more often than a monkey and a dart board.

$499 doesn't surprise me. I need to watch the trailers to see if anything in their lineup is enticing. Nothing sounds fantastic.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 10, 2013, 03:02:10 PM »

But gamers have pretty much told me to distrust analysts.

A new Zoo Tycoon announced for 360 and One.

no way sony can come in cheaper than this, right? 8gb gddr5 ram? $499.99 ps4?

So I read comments regarding KI in another news site (I wanted to see Screens or video) and was surprised at some of the stuff coming out if people's "mouths"

Maybe I just wasn't aware of it back in the day, since I want on the internet as a kid.. But did people really consider KI a Mortal Kombat clone? I never had that impression as a kid.. In fact one of the reasons I loved the game was that it was diff than MK (which was only fun for fatalities and gore) and Street Fighter. The combo system was fun and easy to learn, it made the fights feel a little more fast paced.. I haven't met a single person to date that hates it tbh. Either people love it or never heard or played it..

I did when I had the game on Gameboy. Its why alot of people don't want this game and think the revival is stupid. Kid Icars showed me that a revival can be a good thing if done well.

Sony has so much potential here to absolutely destroy the Xbox One before it even launches. Let's see if they take advantage of the situation.

nickmitch · « **Reply #42 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:14:10 PM »

From reading articles, did MS not announce more than one game for the actual launch?

Also, did Peter Moore basically say **** Nintendo and their Wii U?

UncleBob · « **Reply #43 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:20:10 PM »

$500? Think we'll be seeing an expansion of Microsoft's subsidity plan that they started recently with the 360?

I believe so, Ryse: Son of Rome is the only one they specifically mentioned as a launch title.

Other games have general dates, like they only said Dead Rising 3 will be this "holiday". They never said it would be at launch.

magicpixie · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2013, 04:31:21 PM »

I think the main thing for me is that if MS had any chance of swaying me into purchasing a One, they would have to show me games that I couldn't live without. Project Spark looked kinda neat, but eeeehhhhh... Ryse looked fairly generic, the Forza guy couldn't stop saying drivatar, just a whole lot of "Oh, isn't that nice."

The $499 price was right in the range I was expecting, I wouldn't have been surprised if the went to $529 honestly. I wonder how much Kinect adds to the cost of the base system, and how much that limited the console's specs. It's kind of the same problem Nintendo had with the Wii U; there was a cost associated with producing the tablet controller, and bundling it with the console increased its cost. I was a little surprised to see how many preorders the console received before the price was even announced, but many of those could probably be attributed to unscrupulous individuals looking to sell launch units for a premium.

This EA conference is like one big middle finger to the Wii U.

He was a playable character in FIFA Soccer 13, has rapped about how much he likes FIFA, was in a commercial for FIFA Soccer 12.
