The E3 trailer left me cold, but the gameplay reveal has the exact opposite effect. Still not buying an xbone because of one interesting looking game though.
 
speculation time.

What if he is talking about AR glasses support - it would be falling in line with the footage missing any HUD and the rumored Sunset Overdrive Bundle. (which might include those glasses)

They've already mentioned a few time that they're going to do things like weather, releasing random enemy outbreaks, putting diseases out there and stuff through the cloud I think.

Could be that.. which sounds really cool.
 
The game looks fun but it's really sad for me to see just how slow the freestyle movement seemed to look, why put gust of wind behind the character if he's so god damned slow?

I suspect that trail is a visual cue related to style system as it apparently changes color during gameplay video.

That said, i don't like it either visually. A scurf or something like that would look less out of place.
 
So this could happen right?

September: Sunset Overdrive
October: Forza Horizon 2
November: Quantum Break and Halo 2 Anniversary
I don't think QB is dropping this year. And it wouldn't be smart to launch it at the same time as H2 Anniversary, competing exclusives, spread them out.
 
I wasn't really super hyped for this game since I rarely enjoy zombie games and open-world games are hit-and-miss for me. However, holy shit. That trailer looks like a blast! I'm hoping the ntkrnl rumors were true, and they release a special edition console with this game. Day one!
 
I wont be buying an Xbox One for this game...because I already own one! I can't wait to check this out. It is nice to have a shooter game that seems to be focused on fast paced shooting madness and not cover systems.

my post on the box art, along with the larger horizontal execution of it from ilovedust (more details!)
Awesome stuff.

I'm glad people are coming into the thread and letting us know they won't be buying an Xbox One.

Thanks for doing that guys.

Ya it's so nice knowing that information. They also all point out how great the game looks and are sad they can't play it... yet they very much can, just possibly not day 1. XBox One won't be 499 forever and will have a great library one day, a lot of you will pick it up one day on the cheap either way probably.

Well, they are not really zombies. They are people who were mutated into monsters by some crazy drink and it caused the downfall of the world. It's actually a post-apocalyptic game, and by the looks of it, it's the craziest and most colorful one ever. On that note, the enemy variety is supposed to be pretty nice as well.
 
If I could convince my wife that a second console was at all necessary, or I had more than one friend with an Xbone I'd be seriously thinking about buying one primarily for this game. Looks like a lot of fun.

Let her know about the exercise stuff included with Gold. That's how a buddy sold his wife on it, she can do all of the Jillian Michaels stuff at home with Kinect.

Yep. Been hearing/seeing mixed statements about whether or not Quantum Break will come out this year but if if does then yeah, Xbox One will have a really good lineup of games for this year.
 
Awesome stuff.

Microsoft should team up with Monkey Punch again and have him do the Japanese cover like he did for Crackdown:

I wish Microsoft teamed up with popular artists for the cover arts more often. The Japanese cover for Lost Odyssey by Takehiko Inoue was dope too.

They keep stating that it is 2014 but of course most people would be surprised if they stuck to it. If all those games do release in 2014 I'm thinking it will go as follows.

September - Forza Horizon 2
October - Sunset Overdrive
November - Halo 2 Anniversary
December - Quantum Break

Forza and SO could be swapped I suppose.

I have a feeling they could release Quantum Break this Winter if they wanted to, but they'll shift it into the next year to counter act the typical dry spell and prevent it from getting lost in a sea of releases.

I'm sure you can understand the frustration of Insomniac's fan base that's over 20 years deep. It's not so simple as "just buy an XB1." We've been gaming on Playstation since day one. People are not going to suddenly buy another console who's games don't interest them except one.


It's good see a lot of new Insomniac fans though. And I don't remember any 360 owners buying PS3's to play their games.
 
You're awesome!

Thank you so much! <3

No problem. I'll probably use it too. ; )

It's still annoying. It's kind of like posting political statements on your Facebook wall and assuming people will actually care what you think.

Huge Insomniac fan here. Made the switch to 360 when I saw the original PS3 Price. Said I would buy a PS3 for Tools of Destruction/QFB when the price dropped.

I stuck to my word, and now I have more games to my Insomniac collection.

I will do the same for the Xbone. ....Probably. (If my wallet can stand it.)
