Hi Folks!

I'm feeling great urge to buy NOW X1, but I'm aware that E3 is coming... Do You think that would be a smart move? Are there any rumors about price cut or new revisions? Thx in advance for advices

I currently own PS4 and PC (i7 4770k, GTX 770 4GB, 16GB RAM). PS4 and Xbone would be my exclusives-only machines. And I'm currently tempted by Halo MCC & Sunset Overdrive.

Wait till the holiday season bundles, is kind of the best answer I can give.

I think you should wait as well.
I also want to buy one and I recently got some XOne games from a Microsoft event I attended (they even secured us a sweet Halo 5 code at launch). And still I will be waiting some holiday bundle to buy mine. Maybe a 1TB model

Always.... ALWAYS wait after E3.
It's only ~16 days. Just wait!

 

[OléGunner]

But to be fair, I don't think that really matters. It could sell 800-900 k in November and still not chart but I don't think they would be bummed out by that

It doesn't matter in the sense that yeah, MS got their 3rd party exclusive for their console in
their favourite period of the year.

Secondly it is not doing 800-900k.

 

[Lemondish]

Guys, Tomb Raider isn't some no name franchise. Did we forget the reboot sold 8.5m? It could easily go in the holiday season, and it'll probably be bundled as well.

A majority of those sales were on PlayStation platforms and in Europe.

Neither of which will help this time around since it isn't coming to PlayStation for months and the Xbone is dead in Europe.

 

[Lemondish]

Yeah i'd say wait for this. Sunset Overdrive is a great game it's one of the reasons I got my Xbox One and I got the White Xbox Bundle

I'm finding myself using my Xbox One more than my PS4 nowadays whereas last gen I used to only be a PS3 guy.

What ya playing?

 

[Rösti]

I have mentioned it before, but it has started to happen more frequently in the last couple of days:

Source: http://media.nintendo.com/pressroom/E32015/

What it resolves to appears to be random, sometimes you'll get a 404.

Last year, Nintendo published its press site on June 5, five days prior to the Digital Event: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=831517&highlight=press

If that will repeat this year I don't know, but I'll keep an eye on how this develops.

 

[gaming_noob]

This is undoubtedly the worst predictions of all time.

Why? Because he thinks Halo5 will be game of the show?

 

[BluenoseGames]

What ya playing?

Witcher 3 and State of Decay currently and Batman next month. The only reason I got Batman on Xbox One was because I wanted the limited edition and Amazon only had it left on Xbox One So my PS4 is becoming a dust collector

 

[stryke]

Why? Because he thinks Halo5 will be game of the show?

The guy is clueless on the third party stuff.

 

[Kyoufu]

Why? Because he thinks Halo5 will be game of the show?

FF15, KH3 and Destiny stuff mainly.

 

[Leflus]

Why? Because he thinks Halo5 will be game of the show?

A lot of the third party stuff is unlikely to happen. Especially Batman, Battlefront and Destiny.

FF and/or KH could maybe show up at Microsoft's conference, though. It would be wise for Microsoft to give attention to the few big-name JRPGS that are coming to their system. Besides, both games have a lot of E3's and TGS' left in them.

 

[gaming_noob]

The guy is clueless on the third party stuff.

Ah.. haven't been keeping up with 3rd party games so I couldn't tell. Information overload.

 

[Newtype-001]

Might as well go all in, one company at a time.

Microsoft:

Halo 5: Massive Info dump, unquestioned star of the show.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: Pushed to December to give Halo 5 some breathing room. Gameplay demos.
Fable Legends: Out in early 2016, Info dump with gameplay.
Gears of War Collection: Announcement with a November release date. Done to build hype for...
Gears of War 4: Announcement trailer.
Crackdown: More info, given a vague 2016 date.
Phantom Dust: F2P, releases in September.
Remasters of Metal Wolf Chaos and Shin Megami Tensei Nine. Announced in name only, stated to be worked on for late 2016 as a last ditch attempt to capture the Japanese market. This attempt is paired with...
FF15: More gameplay/cutscene footage. Given a firm Spring 2016 release date.
KH3: Date moved to 2017, will prepare a port of 1.5 HD + 2.5 HD in mid-2016 as a refresher course for MS fans.
3rd Party Montage: Bits and pieces of what's shown at other conferences. Ubisoft has a go with AC and The Division + Rabbids. EA pops up with Battlefront and a tease for ME4 (Saying it premieres first on X1), Bethesda comes in with Fallout 4 and Doom, WB peeks their heads out for a last-ditch Arkham Knight promotion, Konami shows the MGS5 trailer they use for the entire conference.
Indie reel: No real exclusives, just timed releases.
Minecraft Telltale release date + Gameplay for January. Brief confirmation that Minecraft 2 is in development.
CoD: BLOPS 3: Full Monty. Gameplay, DLC announcement, release date, what have you.
New Destiny DLC announced. December release date.
New Controler revision called "Ace". Better bumpers and triggers.
New Console Bundles with Gears and Tomb Raider.
Last announcement is a reveal of multiple projects from Rare underneath the banner: "The Ultimate Projects: Play the games" for maximum nostalgia. Battletoads XBLA in September, Conker's Big Reunion + Project Spark retail release in January, KI Season 3 in 2016 and the big clincher being Banjo-Threeie for release in Fall 2016.

All that Japanese stuff? Nah. It isn't going to happen man. MS did that last generation and it set back the Japanese market substantially. There's no way Japanese developers can afford to back the wrong horse in their home market and abroad. There's a reason the PS4 is getting all of the jrpgs.

 

[kevin1025]

Is there a rumor floating around of Kingdom Hearts with more HD's coming to the new consoles, or is everyone mentioning it because Square Enix mentioned having more remakes in the pipeline?

 

[ArjanN]

Considering they're largely done with season 2, I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance they'll announce a PC version of Killer Instinct at E3.

 

[TomShoe]

I thought there was a rumor of KH 1.5 & 2.5 coming to next gen consoles. Could be PS4 exclusive, but who knows.

I just assumed the whole post was a sarcastic parody playing off the sheer volume of overblown hype about Microsoft at E3 this year tbh.

I think Kagari suggested it.

 

[loaf of bread]

This is undoubtedly the worst predictions of all time.

lol I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to say anything.

 

[MisterR]

Why? Because he thinks Halo5 will be game of the show?

More because he named a ton of third party games with Sony marketing deals to come out on stage for MS.

 

[stryke]

Is there a rumor floating around of Kingdom Hearts with more HD's coming to the new consoles, or is everyone mentioning it because Square Enix mentioned having more remakes in the pipeline?

It's mostly speculation. I'm going to guess that they only remaster DDD and attach a KH3 demo.

 

[Elandyll]

Witcher 3 and State of Decay currently and Batman next month. The only reason I got Batman on Xbox One was because I wanted the limited edition and Amazon only had it left on Xbox One So my PS4 is becoming a dust collector

And out of curiosity, why Witcher3 on XB1? Limited collector ed (map)?

 

[Boke1879]

A majority of those sales were on PlayStation platforms and in Europe.

Neither of which will help this time around since it isn't coming to PlayStation for months and the Xbone is dead in Europe.

I really feat TR is getting lost in the shuffle this holiday. Way too many high profile games coming out at that time and it being sold on one platform I jut don't know.

 

[BluenoseGames]

And out of curiosity, why Witcher3 on XB1? Limited collector ed (map)?

I already had the money on my Xbox account so I got it digitally

 

[balohna]

So, I follow Destructoid on Facebook and something came up about a Star Wars game that takes place between ROTJ and TFA. I clicked the link and the page wasn't there. Nothing on their front page about it either.

Accidental leak?

Do you have the link in your history still? Can you post it?

Edit: Never mind, thanks Sn4ke_911.

Another full day of E3 game reviews yesterday. I think we've landed on a show flow and game lineup. Feeling great about it. #E32015

How much of those new content are new announcements, though?

 

[kevin1025]

So no Rare at E3 maybe?

 

[Nightengale]

Announcement at E3.
Gameplay reveal at Gamescom.

Both would be new.

 

[FelipeMGM]

https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/604314403878535168

Hmmm, we want to know if its new stuff or not.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.

Better be a fuckton of content then.

 

[kevin1025]

Ah, that would work. I could also see them doing a Battletoads reveal at E3 and then say they have something else for Gamescom (Banjo possibly).

 

[Nightengale]

Ah, that would work. I could also see them doing a Battletoads reveal at E3 and then say they have something else for Gamescom (Banjo possibly).

Rare's has been teasing their E3 presence in such a way that I don't think they'll reserve their big announcement (aka not!Battletoads) for Gamescom.

Even if it's just a title logo, I think Rare's next big project is E3-bound.

I'm all for that! I'm hopeful for Banjo but Viva Pinata would be an incredible series to have back as well. Or both. I want both.

 

[BluenoseGames]

The community manager for Tomb Raider, Meagan Marie just said that somethings coming on June 1st . Probably a teaser trailer for E3 or just box art ...

 

[Nightengale]

I'm probably high and drunk, but for some stupid reason, I'm kinda hopeful that we'll hear something about Team Bondi's Whore of the Orient at E3 this year.

I can feel it in my gut! BELIEVE!

 

[blakep267]

So no Rare at E3 maybe?

I expect a newer indie reel, maybe some smaller first party published games. And depending if they go deep into windows 10 stuff at E3, that may be at gamescom

Hmmmm consider me excited!



And when I'm finally getting hyped for E3 (not as much as last year though) I discover I have an exam on the 15th two hours before the Xbox conference.

 

[anexanhume]

Phil should .@ reply for stuff like that.

Do you have the mandatory "you must stay for the first hour"? If so, just rush the exam and then run for it! I think the priority is pretty clear...

Spoiler

Good luck on your exam!

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Yeah, I do have the mandatory "say for the first hour". If I remember correctly the teacher said the exam won't be more than 2 hours so even if I miss 30 minutes of the conference I can still watch the majority of it.

And thank you!

 

[yukianderson]

I find it funny people keep believing what Sony says about there focus. It just reminds me when Kaz said there were going to let Microsoft go first and we know what happened. Don't be fool by what they say. Silence is confidence.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

At the moment, what are the odds that we will see a new entry in the Resident Evil series this year? It seems like Capcom has really been pushing the series lately with the releases of REmake HD and Revelaitons 2 in addition to the recent reveal of Zero HD as well as RE5 Gold edition for the PC, not to mention a plethora of PSN sales.
