pretty sure he'll be ready to bash it no matter what, lol.
Guessing you're not familiar with the crazy stuff Kutaragi used to say about the PS3 prior to launch.
Balmer disagrees
lol - my favorite so far.
Going with a PC seems like a great thing to do if all you're worried about is games. I mean, the more I think about it, the PC has more exclusives that I want than any other platform this year. Broken Age, Torment, and Shadowrun: Retruns are all shaping up to be awesome. (I hope they turn up on the consoles eventually.) It's also great that the player can dictate how great games will look and perform based on their own investments.
Unfortunately, none of the friends I have (outside of forums or online social sites like reddit) use a gaming PC. Not to mention I'll always be in favor of ease of use and stability over better graphics and performance, for the most part. A game running on "High" instead of "Ultra" isn't a big deal to me. So the consoles being weaker out of the gate doesn't even bother me that much. Not to mention I think there's a big difference in being less powerful like these new consoles or being less powerful like the Wii U. These new consoles are going to be a big leap, not a half-step.

Is that Daft Punk sorting out the scene in the cherry picker on the right???

yea, the only reason I bought a PS3 was for the exclusives. But this time around I plan on getting both Xbox Durango and PS4. PC gaming is a bit too addictive in my case and I have wasted too much $$$ on Steam. I don't even have enough time to play games anymore...
I will sell the 7970 and buy a PS4 or Durango first depending on who has the best launch games.

I also hope they dont regurgitate the 7970 as the base for the GPU, but oh well, gotta stay competetive right? Any surprise things besides kinect 2.0 or whatever they throw at us is good.

Why do you say that? I understand there are heat and power draw concerns, but if they could keep that under control why wouldn't you want a 680-equivalent in the next Xbox?
after 8 years i dont wanna be disappointed
we just dont deserve to be disappointed 
Minds are being blown in the GT6 Reveal: Thread.
I predict a similar reaction here.
ekim told me that it's there to emulate the console as a whole. Not to be a measure of the 680's raw power.
So it lines up with what a Alpha Dev kit is.

I am looking forward to the GT6 Vs Forza Next Gen war thread! OHHH YEAAAA

I'll react the same way I'm reacting to GT6 if MS announces nothing but 360 games at the next Xbox reveal. Done with this generation unless the SoC thing comes true, and then I might buy some Summer of Arcade titles. If not, no sale.
Can you give a quick recap? (I know that you won't give fluff or spin.)
And I agree.
EDIT: Also, this all has got me more excited about PGR5 and Forza 5.
what u mean with "regurgitate the 7970"?

isnt the base for the ps4/infinity gpu roughly based off this? sorry for the wrong info...

Sounds like a lot of it is catching up with Forza 4 on customization and physics.
Good to hear they are improving the track generator.
I'm expecting MS to bring back the megatons just like they did in the early years of the 360. The question is what are they going to be? We already know of one and that's Respawns new game.
I don't want to turn this thread into a Forza vs. GT war, but some of that stuff isn't that impressive to me. They all sound like great improvements, but nothing mindblowing. I'm sure it's going to be a hell of a game though.

Deals with third parties for exclusive games not DLC
Probably both.

You'd be nuts not to expect both since both are proven to be successful. Gaming is a lot about immediacy. Holding the advantage at the launch of a game means almost everything. Sony knows it it too.
We're going to see both, COD: Ghosts is definitely going to be a DLC or maybe even a timed-exclusive but nothing more.
Fallout 4 exclusive on Xbox would be a gigaton.
Can't blame them, games like GT evoke that kind of emotions. You'll see the same when Forza 5 is revealed.
People are losing their minds. Glorious.

Sorry I should of been more clear and said "Not just DLC aka PS4 Destiny" announcements but the actual games themselves. It worked for them in the early years of 360 with the likes of Dead Rising 1, Saints Row and Mass Effect

This would be nice.
I am placing my bets elsewhere with a couple newer devs and devs that have been working on things for awhile that aren't as KNOWN as Bethesda but actually have some impressive games in the works.
As it should be. Too many people try to dryhump threads to death with stupid one liner comment trolls. I like to see people actually HAPPY and excited. It gets tiring weeding through their mental detritus.

Do you think epic will have something for Microsoft?
Karak
Member
EPIC has been a bit hands off with MS lately, though they did seem happy during the 360 days. I also think that both parties might feel that a more distanced relationship is better.
Lets stay on topic peeps.
No, it's not they will most likely have features that are compatible with other devices.
You might be able to tune cars on your PC and tablet, smartphone and so on.
We have that EA rumour as well. Although I'm scepticall.
Sure it's about the interactions beside the actual racing.
I hope you guys enjoy this it took me 3-4 hours to make.

Next Mass Effect ?

I'm not. With all their issues lately, seems like they'd be thrilled to take money from anyone that would offer them a hat.
I hope not, that universe needs a clean slate to be interesting again.
If a Bioware and Bethesda game were both exclusive, even like 6 month timed exclusive, then I'd have to buy a Nextbox like no matter what. It's basically the OG Xbox all over again. I go with the console where the WRPG's are at.

I'm hoping that a lot of franchises will die and make room for new ideas.
Thats a good point. They're losing money pretty badly. I'm thinking a new IP could be likely.
