Does anyone else find it painful to watch FPS's demoed with someone using a controller? The way the game moves is so slow for movement/aiming. Always makes me want to punch something lol

Destiny gameplay trailed on PS not on MS which is interesting

Ubisoft PLAYED AC4 on PS4 during Sony's press conference and NOT during their OWN press conference. I think that says a lot about what Sony is trying to do. They certainly plan on winning the hardcore crew early and marketing by word of mouth.

MS is going to do what they always do. Throw lots of money into marketing and hope to win.

I'm very curious to see what MS does in the next 2 months after Sony has literally taken a direct shot at them which we normally don't see. This press conference was basically a call out to them. I also wouldn't be surprised though to see MS do a shorter development cycle on the Xbox One if it doesn't work out as well as they think it should.

Either way, its clear Sony wants to win the start, but the consumer has a very short memory, MS can do a lot to come back if they want to, but I don't think they will. If I'm at MS right now, I'm sitting down all of the execs and wondering what our next move is for our gaming franchise.

wow..I must say that Sony just sold me a PS4. Mind you I'm no fanboy, I currently own a ps3 and a 360 but the press conference actually showed some new and exciting material. I like the design / look of the console, and I'm loving the fact that Sony ditched the used game / call home DRM BS....

It's crazy to see how Sony and M$ have flipped with the next gen. M$ is abandoning what put the 360 on the map, and that's the hardcore gamers...sad!

Have you played Halo? Everything about it screams Halo. The radar, the bug monsters, even the scenery.

I have played Halo, I own every Halo game ever made including PC games. I also own every one of Bungie's Titles from Marathon on up.

Wow actual live game play where someone ACTUALLY dies. Seems everyone else has been using an infinte life hack in their trailers or purposely telling the multiplayer not to shoot at them (like in BF4)

true but Bungie and MS were so close for so long. game looks fun and yes it is halo ish

animations are similar, some similar artwork and models, gernade toss looked the same and such but its the same people making it is to be expected

I admit that I'm shocked ms would be so bold on used games and connectivity. Figured they must know something about the industry changing as a whole and were just the company telling us about it. I figured Sony would end up in the same boat. Glad I was wrong.

The sad thing is that Sony didn't do anything spectacular in this event and still won just by spending a few minutes making fun of ms. They literally could have just talked about used games and connectivity for 5 minutes with no additional content and still be considered winners.

is this their last game to show?

so they showed us a buncha rpgs, destiny, some indie games that look like ps2 games, and a buncha multiplatform games?

sorry sony, but i won't be purchasing a ps4 at this point, not at launch. i hope their slam on ms though makes ms go back and rethink their decision. remember in their press release they said that they can change their policy at any time.

Kingdom Hearts 3 was enough plus knowing Altus's next Persona game won't be on Xbox. Then giving me drive club just for signing up for PSN+ at launch. Also... Naughty Dog...Microsoft doesn't have Naughty Dog

Looks like online play is behind PS+ now

Wow, Drive Club free game on launch for PS+

As long as they don't put 3rd party apps (ex. Netflix) behind a paywall, I see them still winning over a lot of 360 converts.

That said, I don't think I'm buying either console for a long time. I haven't played a 360 game since Fable 3 was released and I've had the latest Batman game on PS3 since a month after release and I haven't even started it.
