not surprised/bothered by the $500 pricetag. that is pretty much what i expected.

also not surprised they did not talk about anything about used games and that whole area.

I love the halo universe but it is dead to me since this one is entirely from the ground up without bungie

Titanfall looked very meh to me. And I am confused, are they completely rebooting Halo, or were the just vague?

From the leaks from CBOAT, it was already known they would not touch on the DRM at all and it was the reason they released the info last week so that the shitstorm didn't start at E3 with everyone watching.

I was expecting $500 as well, and expect that for the PS4 as well.

OMG Almost 650 dollars to buy the system 1 game and online play with tax. This is 599.99 PS3 all over again. There is nothing in this machine to justify this price at all. It has a low end 7770 with 2 netbook processors tied together.

We know you're spooging all over MS. Are you the one that voted for XBone multiple times in the other thread?

Aww someone is upset they get called out for trolling and only liking <obscure snes RPG that sold 5 copies>?



On topic: a lot of games are claiming to take advantage of cloud compute, whatever that actually means besides "DRM" remains to be seen.

heh if the ps3 came out at $400 ... that would be the nail in the coffin.

remember though. ps3 was $600/$500 at launch. 360 was $400. would be crazy if ps4 was more than $500 though.

Na, the PS4 wont be more than $500 (might even be a little cheaper). Sony said they would not do $600 again and learned their lesson.

$500 will be a hard sell, I feel that's too high. However, things have changed since the last console launch, people drop $500 for iPads like it's nothing, so who knows. Will be interesting to see what Sony does.

Actually I'm happy. One less system to buy and more likely than not the value out my old games will skyrocket even more as more and more real gamers get tired of being ignored and shit on and turn to retro and make supply even tighter.

Overall not terribly impressed, but better than I was expecting. I wish Sony's event would start sooner.

at least you do acknowledge that you are trolling and just admitted to it.

The bald guy for Spike sure sounds like a Microsoft shill.

"It's a super powered pc" "Most gamers don't care at all about the drm and other bs"

Just more overpriced quasi-pc crap if you ask me. I'll stick to PC again.

Honestly, is there really anything Microsoft could've showed that wouldn't have made you think "quasi-pc crap"? I don't understand why you thought you would have gotten anything different.

I know! Because you can't be a real gamer and like current games or popular ones. Thank you for always brightening up my day. You must be a hipster. Always championing the obscure and retro; putting down anyone who likes anything new or popular. You are probably some 22 year old who thinks because you bought an NES at a pawnshop a few years ago, you know about old school gaming and RPGs.
