$499.... about what I thought... but 499 Euro? about $650 US? Was he misspoken?

No, he said 499 Euros too.
The Saturn was $400 in 95, so over inflation thats a good price.
Pretty weak conference in my opinion.
The sports fan in me is bummed I didn't get to see Madden or NBA Live, but I suppose there's always EA's presser at 2:30.

I was interested in Dead Rising 3 and Killer Instinct, but the rest of the conference was disappointing. Ryse looked alright, but 50% of the game was QTE.

Yeah, EA will fill your sports void.Originally Posted by Cloud121
Titanfall is the only one that made me sit up in my chair, that game looked amazing, suks its exclusive as i wont support xbox just on principle, especially not at that price but hopefully its just a timed exclusive since its ea published and not microsoft game studios
Forza looked good as usual but im a gran turismo fan so i'll live, quantum break is going to suck to not play but i'll live, if it ever comes o pc hopefully i'll have a gaming pc ready for it, apart from that the swery65 episodic game will probably be good as well as that panzer dragoon looking game but neither are system sellers
As long as sony doesnt come out the gate charging 600 for a new console or spying on me with the ps eye cam, they got my money

Titan Fall is the Respawn/EA contract set of games. It's a one year exclusive for the 360/Xbox One. It'll be on the PS3/PS4 next year.

Yaawwwwnnnnn
Honestly, I could care less about modern gaming, but I do enjoy reading up and seeing what the current consoles are up to and so far I can't say I'm overly impressed. Sure, Xbox 360 has World of Tanks coming, which could actually be a huge draw since tons of people play it online already and it has a massive following, but the XboxOne just doesn't have any excitement behind it at all. I personally think $499 is WAY too much to ask for a video game console and the system will most likely start off slow like the PS3 did when it launched at $599, the XBO won't catch steam for a couple of years until some major price cuts have been handed out on the hardware. Haven't we learned anything from the PS3 and 3DO launch?
Bleh.

All in all Microsoft had a good conference. They stayed true to their word and kept it all about the games. They even showed 360 games. Even better, there were no Kinect games highlighted like past shows. Quantum Break, Ryse, TitanFall, Killer Instinct and Halo were exactly what I've been waiting for. I definitely could get behind that launch. But then they threw another redesign 360 that I'm going to have to pick up as well. My wallet's going to be mad at me.
The price was only somewhat surprising but not when you put it in comparison to the Wii U deluxe's $399 price. What was a surprise was that they only announced one sku and no subsidized model. Maybe they are saying those for later but if not than the one sku price is definitely unexpected after they made multiple skus the industry norm when they launched the 360. It's about damn time they are getting rid of Microsoft points and hopefully our current points easily convert over. The two free games initiative is cool too but I'm unsure if thats just for the XB1 or the 360 as well. Overall I liked what I saw but they still need to clear up their used game confusion.

They just dont want to cause more backlash against the actual console by talking about it.
I hope at Sony's event they talk about their possible DRM features, or say there are none.
Just read on another site it's for both and starts next month, although today gold members can download Fable III for free(not sure how long this last). I'm looking forward to future free AAA games. So far they also didn't say that you lose all of your free games if you cancel your gold subscription, which is a Plus, heh heh.
That used game announcement by Sony was appropriately timed, not so much because it finally answered those questions but more because they needed something drastic to wake up all the coma-induced viewers they put in that state thru sheer boredom. Not only was the conference boring but it was long and boring. Gaming wise they didn't show a single thing that interested me or any of the other people I know who were watching it.
Having said that, I'm glad they have no used game restrictions and that the price is $400. It's further proof that the used game model isn't broken. They'll probably lose some money on each system sold but I'm betting their number one priority is taking back market share from Microsoft in the US. And while the price gives them an advantage over Microsoft, the PS4's price makes the deluxe Wii U look even more over priced than it already did. Gamers with $400 this fall who have to decide rather to get a Wii U or PS4 will probably overwhelmingly choose the PS4.

Perhaps, but that is (499 Euro) a huge price discrepancy from $499 US... why would the console cost so much more in the EU?
This black friday game teaser was like the watch dogs one last year. rip off!
TitanFall features impressive graphics, but it's difficult to get excited about yet another grungy, brown and grey, bloated-Hollywood-budget war game that *needs* to sell 30 million copies or else the studio is bankrupt.
Seriously, this generation, we'll see more studios go bankrupt than ever before, because they insist on making drab, $200 million, copycat war games, instead of coming up with creative, innovative games on a reasonable budget. This 12-year glut of drab war games is depressing.
Yes, at various points in video game history, there was a glut of platformer games, beat 'em up games, and one on one fighting games, but those didn't require George Lucas budgets to create, and they were at least somewhat creative and colorful.

The past 3 hours has been so boringggg. A friend in Spain fell asleep apparently an hour ago. :S
The PS4 was shown. Looks kind of ugly I think. I'd rather have it be completely square rather than diamond like rhombus.
