I have a distinct feeling that Sony has been planning for this next gen longer then both Nintendo and Microsoft.

It's felt that way. They announced at seemingly the right time (Nintendo announced over a year before the system released and MS has been said to be scrambling to put together a presentation, even delaying it a month from the original date they were going to use). They seem to have software ready for it and they are not requiring an always-on internet connection for it to work. I think MS wishes they could wait until 2014 to release their system, but feel it'll be too late. Nintendo launched possibly too early but since the system is less powerful than the other two, they had to do it.

Been on a semi blackout plus a bit tied of all the rumors and such. But Two weeks with Google i/o next week to distract me.

Ars Technia is reporting that the system can be used online and the online only came from Dev kits having that feature to keep track of them.

Looks like next gen blinked on the always online thing. I suspect they wanted it, but the leaks and the backlash convinced them it was a bad move. I mean, why have always online dev kits unless you wanted that option?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1755 on:** May 06, 2013, 11:35:09 PM »

MagicCow nails it.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #1756 on:** May 07, 2013, 12:23:24 AM »

IGN reports that the new rumor is Microsoft will let developers choose to do always online if they want.

Ceric · « **Reply #1757 on:** May 07, 2013, 09:19:16 AM »

Honestly, unless the platform holder themselves bars the company from doing always online, their is nothing really stopping them from doing it right now.

Probably too try and keep leaks to a minimum for some weird reason. Won't really matter if Individual games like Destiny will be online only anyway.

Its funny how even though this news comes from a very relabile source with Tom Warren and Paul Thurrot backing it up Gaf is still shitting the hypothetical while saying there is't an sort of Sony bias.

I mean I see mods always stopping trolls in Sony threads but for whatever reason let this stuff happen in Nintendo and Microsoft threads.

For that reason alone i'm kind of hoping that the PlayStation 4 crashes and burns in comparison to the Wii U/Durango (or at least a slow start) and perpetuates the what Gaf usually wants to win loses.

I just hope Microsoft doesn't make their next controller look as ugly as the PS4 one.

Also, what do you guys think of the new IllumiRoom concept that Microsoft is developing? I saw a concept video on YouTube, and it looks incredibly innovative.

Its just a concept at this point and by the Microsoft Research team not the Xbox or Kinect teams. STill its probably five years out on a consumer scale.

Crash Course 2 came out today and its F2P with qhat looks like at first glance alot of nasty looking micro tranactions.

Just twelve days to the #XboxReveal.

tendoboy1984 · « **Reply #1761 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:47:27 PM »

So it looks like the PS4 and NextBox will be pretty evenly matched. And Sony seems to have learned from the PS3's bottlenecks; the PS4's 8GB of DDR5 RAM is amazing.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #1762 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:59:12 PM »

I hope the controllers are reverse compatible so I don't have to buy new fightsticks. I'm about 4% worried about this.

Where did you get your information about Xbox 720 from? We have no real specifics about if they are evenly matched. The probably are...but we really don't have confirmation. Personally, I really want to see the Xbox 360 controller. I hate...HATE the PS3 controller and I like the Xbox 360 controller except the D pad sucks. So I am hoping MS can improve on that.

Unless they make Xbox Live free or get one hell of an amazing exclusive title I want, I don't really care about the next Xbox at all.

tendoboy1984 · « **Reply #1766 on:** May 18, 2013, 03:43:54 PM »

So where are all the leaked pictures of the console and controller? PS4 was leaked constantly before it was officially revealed, but the next Xbox has been shrouded in secrecy.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #1767 on:** May 18, 2013, 03:48:30 PM »

Sony's leaks were most likely largely intentional. Most tech leaks are that way now, to build buzz. It would seem Microsoft isn't using that strategy.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #1768 on:** May 20, 2013, 11:05:53 AM »

Huh so Gametrailers is doing a pre-show and an After shw with Don Mattrick.

http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/51858/revel-in-xbox-content-before-during-and-after-microsofts-next-xbox-reveal

Also is it because Microsoft is an american company or liked more by non hardcore gamers than sony but I see alot of guys doing live shows for this reveal. The only guys who did something for the PS4 event was IGN and this time around Gametrailers, IGN, Theverge/Polygon, and engadget are planning stuff for before and after the Microsoft event.

ymeegod · « **Reply #1769 on:** May 20, 2013, 12:00:13 PM »

Sounds like MS is saving most of it's "game" lineup announcements for E3 so tomorrow it's most likely just going be the hardware reveal and the "known" games coming like the next Halo, Forza, ect.

Don't expect to see to much surprises for software until e3.

shingi_70 · « **Reply #1770 on:** May 20, 2013, 01:28:52 PM »

Makes sense. I'm guessing COD: Ghosts, Alan Wake 2, and maybe a few things.

Next Gen Fifa will be there.

LOL EA

So here we are, very close to the facts. Last chance to get predictions in, people. Go nuts!

shingi_70 · « **Reply #1773 on:** May 21, 2013, 12:29:23 PM »

The next xbox is actually Hal 2000 and Skynet put together.

Let's do this

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1774 on:** May 21, 2013, 01:06:50 PM »

So far we have a Roku.

edit: that looks like a DVR.

controller looks very similar to the 360 controller. Any hidden features?

how many minutes until a game is mentioned? 12 minutes in. kinda.

I remember playing with voice control on OS/2 Warp 4 in 1996.

Skype...

I can finally watch ESPN in my living room! FINALLY

Imagine what you could do with the Superbowl? I'm guessing lots of advertising.

So many games...

Okay usb 3.0 and 500gb hd is nice. although USB 3.0 isn't super useful yet.

was that a game 22 minutes in? maybe.

Wii Fit eat your heart out.

feedback in the triggers? okay, maybe it would be cool.

game recording like PS4. Game kinda spotted 26 minutes in! Soon we will have a full reveal of a game. maybe.

her comes the unprecedented partnership.

REAL game announcements only 29 minutes in! 12 month window, so some will miss launch.

Ignite? what happened to EVERYTHANG FROSTBITE DURPY DUR

I wish I cared about sports games

great football cutscene.

Real games!

So much for that, back to new media

The dogs were the best part of the presentation.
