I'd agree with that but I have trouble believing that entire presentation, the world building part at least, was done on the fly.

90% of the presentations were staged. I highly doubt 1500 people were "Watching the live feed" of that KI skit. I also doubt that the guy actually called in the airstrike from his phone at that exact moment.

I saw a few game journalists on Twitter saying pretty much everything was scripted.

This E3 is Sonys to lose, if they can denounce DRM and come in at a price that's under XB1 they are winners.

Got sick of how many times people said ".......can only be done with the power of Xbox One", it's such BS all of those games didn't look anything special, some of them looked like they could be on 360.

What else are they supposed to say? "looks better on a PS4"? :rolleyes:

Dude, even if they come up with 1 more game like Last Of Us or Beyond Two Souls, they are automatically winner!

People have to remember a few things abotu US and Europe prices. Europe generally earns better on average AND most importantly we have depending on country 5-6 years mandatory warranty on factory faults. and several other consumer protections that the US doesn't get.

there's also the little issues of 18-25% VAT. 499 + 25% VAT(highest) alone adds up to 623.

I liked how Forza is going to use the cloud. Perhaps a good example of how other games could use it.

Least they hit us with game after game but still at the end of it, i felt there could have been more games :laugh: I think this is because they were only showing first party exclusives.

You can see a from a few games they were originally meant for current gen. Dead Rising 3 and Titan Fall spring to mind.

Price wise was about what i expected. I expect the PS4 to be a similar price. I can't see it being dramatically more expensive/cheaper.

In all the years we've seen newer systems come out the first batch of games for a new system are a bit better overall than the current generation. Developers need more time to work on things and the first launch titles don't have as much time really. Still, I like the fact that they've kept saying over and over how they're investing more into games than they did on the 360, with 5 new studios to make exclusives through the life of the system, you can't say that isn't good news.

Wondered how long it would take before you try and defend them. Considering the specs of the box 499/429 is offensive.

Oh i'm not saying it's a bad thing.

You always get titles each generation that were originally developed for the current gen, then decide to hold off and launch it on the next gen. I'm not saying the games suffer because of that but you can definitely tell the difference. I love Dead Rising, it was one of the main reason i went for the 360. It'll definitely be on my list when i pick the One up.

So, Xbox One Pros:

Halo TV series (Probably exclusive to Xbox One)

Quantum Break (Just because it's a TV series intergrated game, the concept it's interesting)

Exclusive partnership with NFL

You must have missed the majority of the conference ;) heck I only got the last part and got more than that :)

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.

      From the incredibly asinine idea of disposable AI datacenter satellites launching into low Earth orbit to building out yet another unnecessary mobile network, this con-man will do ANYTHING to scam investor suckers and get his stock prices up. This stinks of panic to me. Good.
