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 :)

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

      I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
