If the footage shown was on Xbox One, I can only imagine how good the PC version looks. Cannot wait for this one.

There has been some PC screenshots put out and they were amazing.
BF4, another game I'll buy the PC if I do buy it.

Timed exclusive DLC for both CoD and BF4. I wonder exactly how much this helps sales... Like who cares if you can't get it first? Seems like MS wasting money paying for these types of things. Exclusives I understand, but timed exclusives just don't seem to be worth the money to me.

Given that this generation of consoles are finally embracing PC architecture (w/o the overhead) the first wave of games will probably rival PC. As a PC gamer, I don't really care who is better, but that's what seems logical given what the last gen consoles can STILL do.

Too bad I won't be buying a BigBrotherBox1... :-\ I was really looking forward to Halo 5

Battlefield graphics look good

Look like what we been playing on the PC with BF3 for the past 2 years :D
(It does look good though)

They do it a lot so I guess it has to have some effect, I agree though it is dumb and the money should go towards other things, but hey what do we know.

Didn't see much of Below, but it might be okay. I don't know about for $60 though. Looks like an XBLA game.

I thought that from the first BF4 trailer as well. The guy playing was terrible.

I vaguely remember reading an article about this being intentional with reveal demos. Wish I could remember where that was...

Something about it not mattering as flashy marketing material, then making the player feel like they're awesome and the game is better once they do play it so they feel good and give it good reviews/recommend it to others.

Whatever the details, it's just a marketing gimmick.

pissed me off that spartan assault is Win 8 only
