Steam Winter sales on games I should have played years ago. Hopefully Skyrim gets a nice price drop for the Legendary edition around Black Friday, Elder Scrolls is one of my favorite series and I have been holding off on Skyrim until I got my gaming PC (done) and it lowers in price for the complete package.
oh right you reminded me, I will be playing GTA V a lot, and if Splinter Cell Spies vs Mercs is what it should be I will invest myself in that as well.
I thought you got an XL, you bought an OG one?

List of things to buy:
Playstation 4, no games along with it, no PS+ until I buy a game.
Xbox One, along with Forza Motorsport 5, an extra controller, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, Project Sparks, Battlefield 4, CoD Ghost. (and maybe 2 more controllers in case I just want to have a big launch party with my friends where they come over and we play my new Xbox One together.)
Random games through-out the year
GTA V, The Last Of Us, Saints Row The Fourth, and a bunch of other stuff I have pre-ordered and probably forgot about until Gamestop calls me and tells me said game is out.

I have GTAV already paid off, was hoping for a nextgen version though
Might also get Splinter Cell just for SvM since that looks like A LOT of fun.
Why get a ps4 if you're not buying any games for it?

It was called Rebirth and you enter a glyph code(s) to get access via the Waypoint Classified Domain.

Cause shortages? Destiny hype? I'll probably get PS+ to get Drive Club for free, and whatever game they give for free the month after.
Also, I'll get CoD Ghost on it depending on if my friends also get a PS4, all my friends are jumping on Xbox One except for one of them, can't blame him for wanting a PS4.
Will Planetside 2 be crossplat with PC?
Probably not because LOL Shadowrun, but it would be nice.
Totally forgot about that. If there's one thing I kinda want on the Xbone is PS2... Oh well I guess.
Destiny isn't an exclusive though?
But fair enough.

Sadly no but KB+M people really would wreck console players I feel.
Also I wonder if one of the PS+ Betas will be Destiny....

Beyond: Two Souls (provided it's good)
Maybe GTA V
I wish Dark Souls II was this year

Yeah and I still find it strange that they are not at least porting it to next gen but I guess we will see that when they do another "prepare to die" kind of thing.
I don't even think Microsoft knows
It's a Nicholas Cage movie based off Inception, Cage is only doing it so he can pay off some of his yachts and a mansion on an Island in the Caribbean.

Who cares it's made by Remedy, it'll be awesome.
But yeah no one has any idea what it's about lol, probably including MS.
MS: "Hey guys, so what's this game about that we're funding?"
Remedy: "Don't fucking worry about it!"

A game that Remedy made therefore it has the potential to be amazing, and I'm interested.

Its the number 2 game on live second only to CoD. My kids play the shit out of Minecraft.

Don't get me wrong, If a Halo launches that I can get behind a year later I will want one but I am saying to support the anti consumer shit at launch for that price is hard to believe but each his own I guess.
I probably would have stomached either the price or the DRM. There is enough 3rd party and Destiny PS4 to keep me busy until Halo comes.
This is amazing. Why didn't I know about this?

Apparently it is only teased and talked about by Waypoint scrubs, like me
Just kidding but Waypoint dropped hints of Silentium glyphs and a Section 3 community has risen for all these hidden goodies. They are a dedicated and accurate bunch.I support the day one purchase of X1 if for no other reason than dedicated XBL servers all over the globe. Sure I dislike the DRM too but it's not a personal or friends I play with issue enough to stop me buying X1 or games.

I don't know why I'm replying to a known troll/xbot but here I go.
It's a false equivalency when you start blathering on about PSEye and Kinect, and how it's "just as much" as the Xbone if you buy it.
No one, not even the people who want kinect, should be forced to buy (much less use 100% of the time) an accessory with their console.
Dedicated servers for every game? It's just Halo. It's just MS published games. They wont give it away for free for EA/Activision games, CoD will still be peer hosted. Cloud computing? It'll be the most meaningless extra shit or they would up the cost of XBLGold. Maybe they'll finally get back up to Halo 2s Bungie.net game tracking with kill locations on the map.
I'm gonna bookmark this for when they backpeddle in a year or two because the always online and mandatory kinects are killing them and they patch it out. There is no way this will end well for them.

You seem like a top bloke mate, good luck to you. Please bookmark and eat your own words as Kinect and Azure are always going to be part of Xbox One. They define the platform.

I guess there is an opposite of "troll/xbot" though.
Dedicated services for any MS published games? Not true, Titanfall is using the MS Azure dedicated services for hosting MP games and they are published by EA.
Cloud processing for only 'meaningless extra shit'? Several devs talked about using it the last couple days for stuff such as AI and Physics systems. I guess those are meaningless though.
People act like Sony hasn't invested in cloud gaming at all. Nope they totally didn't buy one of the best cloud gaming platforms a few years ago...nope not at all.
Woah there StalkerUKwhatever v2.

It really doesn't matter either way. If people really buy the crap that they're going to stream a physics engine back and forth across the internet, even after the Simcity debacle that proved you could play it offline, then nothing will remove them from their bubble.
The console has to be always connected to the internet so Forza can play without you. Totally worth it.
Dude I hear you can stream DX12 to the Xbox One though!

Oh, I'm not saying they haven't, just wanted to correct some blatant inaccuracies in Laughtrey's post.
As long as you bring it up though, Sony has stated they're using Gaikai for backwards compatibility and starting games while still downloading, MS has stated that Azure can be used for dedicated servers and cloud computing for games. Not that Gaikai can't and/or won't be used for that, but we KNOW Azure will be used for that, and right away.
Azure is a billion dollar business, it's not something MS is just pulling out of their ass.

The Xbox One looks sexy. Really does. Gonna look beautiful in my room. So thick though. :/

I don't about that 360 redesign, seems like hitting the power button while try to open the disc tray is going to be way too easy.

I love the design cues, but its a little too big IMO.
I do prefer its look (other than the size) over PS4.
Ozzy Onya A2Z

Sure how about they provide some details or roadmaps of what their developers and gamers can expect?
I don't claim to be the foremost expert on Gaikai but the investment rounds a, b & c total less than $50 million. If you compare that to Azure gross revenue already topping $1 billion last year there is very little to discuss.
Sony paid $380 million for Gaikai and have limited use on an existing smaller and somewhat unproven network that will have poor regional coverage. I hope all of that buyout goes directly to infrastructure as they're going to need it.
By comparison MS has $3 billion of Azure investment going on and that is beyond the recent years of establishing the platform. It is not all games though but it gives you an idea of just how outclassed Sony/Gaikai are.
Azure has also been around for years and enjoys a massive following amongst developers from all walks and industries. The experience, knowledge and platform have had the wheels in motion for a very long time and X1 will reap major benefits now and in the future.
I work with Azure everyday and it's not a startup investment funded by Sony for "we've got to have that too". Sure Sony may very well develop a fantastic cloud based service but it already seems quite splintered and behind the 8 ball. I would love a great service here as I love Sony products but they have a massive up hill battle in terms of the cloud IMO.
If someone has better information for infrastructure comparisons I'd love to hear it.
Okay then I want to know a few things then.
-How will it help with the 5 gig of RAM
-How will it make up for slower speeds on the RAM?
-How does it make up for the weaker GPU that might be getting down clocked?
Also what do you personally work on with Azure and is it gaming related at all?
4GB's of RAM is usually enough for games.
What speed are they at? Because this is something, which isn't noticeable, too, if you are not going to do video work (rendering etc.) on the Xbox.
Edit:
1.5x slower than what? Also, with the next chipset and CPU's, DDR4 RAM will be introduced. That's probably the point, when they are starting to use more RAM for games.
Yeah for now but that will bite them in the ass when devs use more which they will.
RAM speeds are 1.5x slower I believe, need to check on that exact amount.
Do you even know how electronics work?
Hell do you even know how Networks work?
So having 5gb for games is bad, when the PS4 had only 4 up until February?
