Microsoft's got some big balls going in the ring with full on DRM control while PS4 isnt. Once launch comes around ill be very curious as to how many early adopters their will be. And since most early adopters are news savy gamers im really curious how they expect to counter this downward momentum come E3.
They better have some killer exclusives and an amazing price. Cause a glorified TV box and Kinect 2.0 arent going to get them far.
So far I have zero reason to get an Xbox One over the PS4. They have to REALLY impress me with these exclusive games and the system would have to be no more than $299.

Brothaman , should I raise my son to become a Samurai?

Absolutely. The discipline will give him the tools to achieve more in life.

Brothaman am I the great white Ninja legends spoke of and they mistook it for chris farley?

No, it's Peter. In fact, here he is at his new job.

Pretty much sums up MS right now. They keep digging themselves deeper and deeper and they don't get why. When they finally do realize it might be too late. They also can pull a Sony and turn bad press around even if it's during the consoles life cycle.

Thanks. Started this afternoon and was one of the worst I had in a short time period. After that slept a few hours and feel a bit better other than being dehydrated. Worst one was in 2006 for a week. DId not look at pizza for almost 2 years again. :P

No fun lol. Oh well it happens. Seems to be gone now I hope.

All I have to say is Playstation 4 is going to win the market here in Japan against the Xbox One hands down. Microsoft hasn't done anything to prove to us that they are better than Sony in aspects of total gaming/entertainment experience. Xbox Live is great..(yeah).. but releases are not versatile like the titles Sony and Nintendo get, And..especially now since this 4 in 1 entertainment system seems to be more directly marketed towards North America and Europe. I honestly think that its going to be collecting dust on the shelves here and thats a guarantee if the price is outrageous. Also, not just Sony has been faithful to the consumer gaming/entertainment experience,Nintendo has always done fantastic here as well in giving us gamers what we want. Great games! I respect Microsoft's business strategies but its like a double edged sword.Ok i'm done ranting... :???:
Your "ranting" is still more positive and nice to read than any of us dickwads on a good day. :P

You're right kenshin, the moment Xbox One (batsu-ichi) hits stores over there they better have some ridiculous exclusive they paid someone off for, like Monster Hunter 4 or else it'll drown immediately. They really need to just skip that market entirely for at the very least, all of 2014 when people are still buying up Wii U and PS4.

is this your grandpa in the early days of pimpin?

Well, not exactly. :P But the irony is my dad's family name is Duke. And they sometimes call me Little Duke.

C'mon guys, lets not get sucked in here and let this turn into a complete tear apart of the whole situation ultimately coming down to "maybe" "maybe not". Take this for what it is, a couple pictures. This proves or dis-proves nothing, we have gone through this enough times to know the drill. Hope for the best, expect to be disappointed, wait for possible announcement.

Theres no way people believe this is for Shenmue 3

Damn near killed myself finishing it, but I finally submitted my spec script to NBC.

Going to do more touch-ups before sending it to Warner Bros tomorrow.

I've found myself going further and further into Kenka Bancho at the moment. I'd played it a bunch previously, but never actually "beat" it (which kind of requires multiple playthroughs and some trial and error, if I'm not mistaken). I'm starting to consider it one of my favorites on the PSP, truth be told. It's kind of Shenmue-lite is a few ways. Nowhere near as detailed as Shenmue, of course, but walking about town, taking in the sights of a Japanese community, and engaging in the occasional street fights here and there all feels a bit reminiscent of our forum's namesake (though with a much lighter, more humorous attitude). I'd almost forgotten how much I loved the game, but it's all coming back now, and even stronger than the first time I played it.

After dispelling the rumor,now he confirms a Tales of Symphonia pack HD for PS3 this year in Japan and 2014 for the US edition. This includes TOS and TOS2.

I take my collection a bit too seriously when i wear white gloves to display items.

Congratulations James! The winning video and competition results can be viewed here .

Yeah that was the original form word is its changed a fair bit since then.

My cable and by extension internet went out on account of a rain storm Saturday night so I looked towards my copies of Arkham Asylum and City, both of which were still embarrassingly in the shrink wrap and decided to give Asylum a go. It's pretty good so far, although I'm not very good at it. By the time I sneak up behind a thug for a silent kill they turn around and all hell breaks loose or I'm high up on a gargoyle and try to swoop down only to over or undershoot the mark. :mad: When did an insane asylum get so many damn run of the mill brawny thugs anyway? :lol:

A cat seriously involved in finding a cat...

CE for me, I really like that statue for some reason. and im sure as hell not spending $170 just to get everything from both sets, fuck that. Any word on a guide for this game?

Just seen this in Sydneys Chinatown

I still hover around. Mostly I just check out the latest opinions on upcoming games and films etc, but never feel inclined to post. I suppose I come here out of nostalgia, really. Only takes a few minutes a week to have a look around so there's no point in me disappearing completely. No harm done.

I was always the guy with the least popular opinion around here so that never helped. :lol:

You know with his experience working with Shenmue in the past, it would be a good question to ask if a HD port of Shenmue be easy/difficult to do now?

STILL working on E3 submission while sick. I deserve a fucking medal.

Why da faq does DMC4 have to INSTALL TO THE DAMN HARD DRIVE before I play it?!

Apparently this goes for surprisingly large sums of cash nowadays (lowest I've seen for it is a used copy on Amazon for $58), so I may as well brag that I got it cheap back when it first came out.
Unusually nice-looking release, too. It's not like it's a fancy special edition or anything, but it came in a clear case with some really nice artwork just about everywhere you look on it. Even more in the little insert that comes with it (just didn't want to clog the place up with more pictures). Quite an attractive little package overall, for a surprisingly good anime adaptation of a videogame.
