Out tonight. This is where Microsoft get a chance to shine, hands down my favourite MS product ever... apart from the split keyboard but that's weird.

 

im looking forward to this too, having a ps3 and an xbox 360 i have to say the xbox is by far the better console.

 

Let's hope they allow more support of third-party wheels.. the fact I can't use my G27 on Forza is unforgivable!

 

Sounds like an Apple product

 

With the PS4 being unveiled in a couple of weeks hopefully it will be the gamers that benefit with these two trying to out do each other.

Rather than all the bollox about how powerful this will be over that we just want a jaw dropping gaming experience with mind blowing graphics, future proofed, backward compatible. All the talk of how powerful the PS3 could be never seemed to materialise into games that made your jaw drop over anything that came out of the X-box, so lets not go down that road again MS/Sony

 

By a Fanatec...awesome things

 

watching it now live, xbox one is the new name.

its incredible so far!! nd we've not got to the gaming side of it yet

 

I can hear PC gaming turning in it's grave.

 

theres 15,000 servers for xbl, for xbox one there will be 300,000

 

Big whoop




I think I'll be buying One

 

"Available later this year" what a crock. Apple announce something and you can order it that day, that's class.

 

Yeah I'm a bit gutted no mention of release day

 

X-Box Live wont be free anytime soon then !.

It's a miserable looking consol imho and the lack of release date is probably because they wanted to get one up on Sony, it will be interesting to see what the PS4 has in comparison and if they give a release date, we'll find out in a fortnight.


One thing is for sure the fanboys will be having wet dreams and the bickering will go into overdrive

 

What an underwhelming event that was! All the games were rendered adverts, no gameplay (could be very telling). Kinect 2 is better, but still I don't think people will buy it because of that. Some clever tech in there, but I can't see non-gamers flocking to it, SMart TVs offer alot of what this does.

It's getting a abit of a slating. MS stock has dropped, and Sony stock has risen!

Still, with all the exclusive MS have negotiated and things like COD first again, it will sell by the bucketload.

Geezer

 

Don't forget E3 is where the proper ***** waving starts.

 

I can tell you when the release date will be, end of October or start of November, in time for Xmas and a new COD game to sell it.

 

PS4 reveal has already happened in a press conference on the 20th of February 2013, and it was a **** poor show, didn't even show the hardware...

 

At least they made an event ps4 had nothing to show. Watch the share price drop for Sony then

 

Really don't understand why they didn't show any gameplay trailers? Cgi looked good years ago, gameplay is what folk want to see.

Disappointed tbh

 

It's called marketing.

Do you really think that the PS4 console was not ready to show in Feb?

Do you really think that MS don't have any gameplay footage to show you now?

Both companies have months of time to tantalise and drip feed us information. Advertising is all about tantalising and not shooting your bolt in one foul swoop, when it provides you no benefit in the long run, building the anticipation.

It's been accepted that E3 will be THE event that you'll start to see some serious stuff. MS knew that Sony are using this event, so they certainly don't want Sony taking all the glory.... or give them an insight into what they need to beat. It's all cat and mouse at the moment...... hence why Sony have just released a new PS4 "what it looks like" teaser trailer. Again to take some sting out of MS launch today.

 

Yes you can..... you need to do some research on the net. I'm using my G25 no problems.

 

Sorry, my bad, I'm not a marketing gee.....expert

 

I'm sure - but I'm already £200 in the hole with this, so another £400 wouldn't wash too well with her indoors

 

Microsoft had always said it would be a 2 part presentation. Console last night, games at E3 in a couple of weeks time..

 

I dunno, the PS4 announcement, though odd in many ways, was well received in the context of what it will do, and they they showed some gameplay which was very impressive (of course, I have no doubt that Xbox will also be impressive). But, the look of the machine it less important. Xbox was as ugly as ****, but it sold by the bucket load because of what it could do, Live etc.

The One seems to have a luke warm reception. WIll be interesting to see what happens at E3 though.

Geezer

 

There is no way she would even begin to believe you spent that much...bet she wouldn't even notice the G25 had morphed into a Fanatec

 

Zavvi had it on pre-order last night at £399.99! Erm no thanks, no backward compatibility due to complete architecture overhaul so can only play the new gen games means it's going to be a very limited catalogue for a while. No matter how good the graphics are the latest Call of Duty and Forza aren't worth £400 outlay plus the price of the games.

I know the price is a stab in the dark but I can't see it being much cheaper than that (if at all) when you look at how much the Xbox 360 was when it came out and then Kinect came along.

The PS4 holds as little interest for me too with no backwards compatibility. I own or have owned all the mainstream consoles but I don't have any plans to buy either of these certainly until their prices fall and the catalogue is large.

 

Sign me up! looks good to me, cod and forza that would keep me going for half a year

 

Pre-owned games and you will need to pay fee

No backward compatibility this everybody expected at least me,just due different architecture,maybe at later stages older games will be ported

Yeah this is one of the reasons I may go back to PC gaming for a while - any previous investment in games seems to have been a waste of time if I upgrade to the Xbox One.

When they bring out Illumiroom I will be bang on that though
