Topic: XboxOne ~News/Rumor/Speculation~ Biggest Console Released This Gen!!

Phil Spencer sung his Siren directly at me.

Only real main complaints is I want a traditional single player Fable as well as legends, and I feel that they might have well ported ODST and Reach to the ONE as well.

I don't think the Market value will change of the PS4 and Games that much Shingi.  Unless you really want Titanfall I probably just wait for a more appealing bundle.

[oohhboy]

Probably going to trade in my PS4 and games to get a Xbox One Titanfall bundle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I thought it was a pretty ass conference. Too much co-op and/or shooty stuff. I liked the initial trailer for Sunset Overdrive, but the actual gameplay footage looked bogus to me. As was said, many of the reveals were just CGI teasers, which is basically impossible to give a **** about.

If the only thing Ubisoft is doing to change up Assassin's Creed is add co-op, I think I can safely say I'm done with the series.

Inside and Cuphead looked pretty awesome though, will be picking these up if they come out on PC.

I don't seem many examples of the reveals you guys are talking about, so I had to go look them up myself... (thanks)

Sunset Overdrive

That's because you've been intertubing "football" on your 40 inch Vita.

Well yeah, streamed USA-Nigeria on the 45 minute bus ride to the soccer game and game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on the way back.

So it looks like MS is up to its moneyhatting tricks again.  Looks like they bought a timed exclusive on Rise of the Tomb Raider through at least 2015 holiday season.

Guess I'll just have to wait it out and get the Rise of the Tomb Raider GOTY that comes out for the other platforms.

I can't say I fully agree with there strategy since they are releasing it on the 360 as well.  They need stuff for the One.  I'm sure Crystal Dynamic insisted on it at least being 360 as well.  Then the time exclusivity I haven't seen them put an actual period on it.

I probably if I was them try to get 6 months to year out of it.

I feel like it'll be similar to Mass Effect 2 where the 360 version came out and the PS3 version was a year later.  It's obviously different circumstances, but the timing would be about right.

[Ceric]

I think that be best.

Or it may be like mass effect 1 which didn't reach the PS3 until 2012 for the trilogy.

[oohhboy]

Unlikely. The Bone just simply doesn't have the pull that the 360 had during that point where it seemed like the 360 had pulled ahead indefinitely to "Win" the generation while the Wii did its own thing. Any money hat for anything longer than 1-3 months would grow geometric rate as the Bone has yet to exit the "Joke" period let alone make any ground against PS4.

I agree.  Plus, Mass Effect 1 was published directly by Microsoft.  Word was that they had about a 5 year deal on that.   Bioware wasn't bought out by EA until soon after ME1 was released.

[oohhboy]

[BlackNMild2k1]

Are they finally releasing it in Japan?

Looks like demand is so low that the store didn't even bother to open that day.

[NWR_insanolord]

On a certain level I really respect Microsoft for being able to walk away here. They realize their systems will never be big successes in Japan, so they're barely going to even try. They put a ton of money into making the 360 catch on in Japan, with some really serious moneyhat cash, and it didn't really work, and instead of being crazy stubborn like Sony or Nintendo likely would be, they just gave up.

[Spak-Spang]

So then the solution is for Nintendo to just give up in everything but the handhelds?

Gotcha.

[NWR_insanolord]

I don't think they need to give up consoles, but if they're going to keep making them they should focus more of their attention on the markets that still buy them, the West. Sony and Microsoft are releasing their consoles in Japan but focus the design of them on Europe and NA, where they're still a bigger part of the gaming market. Nintendo's overly fixated on Japan, which makes sense for handhelds but not as much for consoles.

[oohhboy]

Yes, its real


Steins Gate Akihabara is so much nicer.

[Ceric]

I don't believe a launch is successfully in Japan unless the Queuing shown is outside.

[ejamer]

I'm sure the cut-and-paste photoshop could be applied to an outdoor photo if that would mean the Japanese launch is successful.

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

I am thinking about getting a One.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Yes, its real

OMG!! that is hilarious.
All that comes to mind is this visual representation of MS's enthusiasm level

[Ymeegod]

Man, I would fire the entire MS marketing team.  I've said it since MS first announced an xbox console, MS needs an Japanese partner--would have gone with Sega (the 90's sega and not the sega of today) or even Capcom.

The 360 had a few exclusive JRPGs (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia) but MS stopped trying after year 2 and the few Japanese 360 fans were left in the cold. 

-----------------------------

On the up side, at least in the states things are looking slightly less dim with MS giving away one free game with the purchase of a console making the one ($50) cheaper than then PS4 destiny bundle but they still fooked up with the COD bundle IMO--paying $100 more for an $60 game and double storage which still won't be enough space since games are eating 30+GB.
