Microsoft Reveals Xbox One Line Up of Games at E3

They're strong-arming people into having a PS Plus subscription now, though. The comments from Engadget on the performance of Forza & some of the other titles like the new KI are intriguing. Let's see what it looks like in stores - wasn't a fan of PS Move vs Kinect so they're stilling winning that battle in my book. Oh well, time will tell - I thought Microsoft really screwed themselves over with the used games license and didn't really help themselves by pushing the issue off on developers by saying they control the cost. On a good note, that means if they discover that they're losing a large chunk of gamers who boycott those developers that try to take advantage of that system, then it might force them to back off that policy. Greedy d-bags - just make more DLC that users can purchase to keep money coming into your pocket from the used games market.

Well multi player gaming is better on a sub model honestly. The servers will be stronger now that they yield that cost. But you still get that choice.

Thats not bad for a launch line up, better then most, I remember N64 only had like 3 games on release and they where only single player and that was on the first 4 player machine. Also as a pc player DRM is a constant annoyance, you hit every time you start a game now, so once a day seems quite good. Considering the xbox is the only way to play Halo and fable I already have a space reserved in my entertainment unit next to my classic Xbox and 360. Besides its not MS pushing its the devs, so I can see less games on PS4 if they don't implement DRM as well. Sony has been very vague about that so its probably coming and they don't want to admit it because their flying high at the mo and all their fan boys screaming XBone is dead[/quotemsg}

It's not only the DRM. It's the used games its the online DRM checking 24/7 and after a hour of not being able to play them saying well you can always watch a movie. They will be plenty of games on each platform. And all the major titles will be on both consoles. Sure there will be exclusives but in the end that isn't what matters here. It's about a platform that will be more free, open, and what console games should be.

M$ is trying real hard to capture what steam is doing for the PC. However, having that online feature as well as the inability to share console games with friends is not going to go over smoothly with consumers. Also furthermore, with a better value people will look at the ps4 as a entertainment console as well a more affordable one considering that blu ray players are 100 dollars or so the decent ones you are only paying 300 or so dollars for a console will have all the major releases. I feel ever since bill gates stopped being a everyday guy m$ has really fallen off the wagon. From Windows 8 which isn't what the consumers wanted in the desktop space to not listening to the consumers at all with the console space. Just because developers would prefer a cloud space situation doesn't mean anything if you can't sell the product. If there is a time for Sony to really grab XBOX by the horns its now. I don't play on either console so you can take the fan boy argument elsewhere however I do play on the best gaming platform the PC.

I prefer PC, just have xbox for halo and fable, and of course mortal kombat, but not being able to sell my games dosn't bother me, I'm collector and consoles and games do not leave my possesion. I have broadband so I won't have a dead box because of no net, if I have no net it means I have no power and nor does my exchange. If people can't borrow my games I don't care, its not like I can boorow PC games or lend mine out. Beside I wasn't being a fan boy, so dunno where that came from. If halo, fable and mortal kombat came out on PC, I wouldn't buy and console. Plus SOny is going to charge for Online now, so theres one thing they no longer have over Xbox. Besides I've been burnt by sony in the past, I went through 4 PS 1 in the space of 6 months, in the end they wouldn't replace or repair, trojan horses because of CD roms, expensive dvd player dying a week after the warranty wore out, the only thing MS has done to me is provide a carppy O/S, but they redeemed them selves with WIn 7 and 8, who cares about free and open, games will cost the same, windows isn't realy free and open, still see no difference to a pc which is my prefered platform

I think people are going to pick up this console - as such, I am not worried about having another Dreamcast scenario where I invest for a console but the consumer market doesn't support it with sales. I think it's an everybody wins scenario - if you are used to PC games that require license authentication and don't use rental services or the used game market, the XB1 is going to help reduce the amount of stuff in your entertainment cabinet. If those feature piss you off and you're convinced Sony will find a way to keep developers from getting them on the DRM band wagon on a consistent basis, then get a PS4. Either way, competition is a good thing. I am just excited about more cross platform functionality - that way if I get an XB1 but my buddy gets a PS4 we will still be able to play some games together.

Cross platform play will make me so happy. I really think that AMD is doing a great job pushing towards that with their Unified Gamer shenanigans. I would much prefer to play on my PC, while my buddy plays on his xbox.
