Anyone else notice... 3 Xbox One exclusives on that list, ZERO PS4 exclusives.

Not saying PS4 won't be great or have great exclusives, but when I see positive news from the Xbox camp, I like to emphasize it.

Considering most others don't seem capable of that.

My list for the launch period: Titanfall, DR3, BF4, Watch Dogs, and Killer Instinct. Should keep me busy for.... ever.

@malokevi If you are rating by exclusives then the Wii U won by far. I could not care less about a gimmicky game like Fantasia or a boring simulator like Forza. At least I can respect people that enjoy Forza because it's supposed to be hardcore but I enjoy stuff like the Crew a lot more. But in general, I think the PC wins the next-gen war by far. And since Titanfall is also being released for the PC you will truly have access to all the cool stuff now.

@malokevi Actually, there are only 2 EXCLUSIVES to Xbox... And only one really worthy - Forza :) Others are multiplatform, and I'll get them on PC anyway :)

@malokevi Titanfall isn't an exclusive. I've always said MS did good showcasing the games, but everything else they failed. Even the much touted "family plan" is under suspicion with conflicting reports.

And KI is being remade by one of the worst developers and from the videos I've seen it is extremely dumbed down. Good to know that the FTP rumors were false though.

Titanfall won't be coming to PS4 if its as successful as it seems bound to be. MS has the resources to ensure that. I dont own a PC... so its an Xbox1 exclusive for me, lol.

Family plan: Nothing conflicting about it. This is a quote from Xbox.com...

"Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere:Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time."

http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/license

You can play as much as you want, and one of your friends can play from your entire library at the same time as you. Then, when your not playing, the 8 other people in your "family plan" have infinite access to your entire library.

So, essentially, you and one friend could go tit-for-tat on every single game purchase. This is SPECTACULAR! I never dreamed of anything like it. Also, if you wanted to play co-op with a buddy... NO PROBLEM!! only one of you needs the game... which is unreal.

As far as KI FTP goes... its true, but there is literally nothing bad about it. Essentially, you get the entire game for free with only Jago. Then, you can either pay the lump sum and buy the remaining content, or pick and choose what you want with Microtransactions.

Basically, they are giving you all the options you could ever want.

The whole platform is looking amazing... and the news that trickles out keeps getting better and better.

And, yes, I spend way too much time looking into this suff.

@malokevi @mlp071 Explain to me why a game company/console manufacturer charges you $60 for a digital download of something you know it's costing them much less nowadays. As consumers the only thing you can do is boycott stuff like that until they realize that the plan isn't going to fly. Getting a PC with Steam is the better deal nowadays, plus you can use it for a lot more stuff than just gaming/living room.

@mlp071 lol... relax, guy. You're the one talking shit about the console... I'm here to offer a dissenting opinion. U ok with that?

I don't care what other gamers think or say. That's doesn't factor into my decision. On top of that, I'm probably getting a PS4 for christmas this year, and I wan't nothing more than for it to be a great console.

But that doesn't mean that the alternative isn't awesome. Microsoft has an interesting vision for this generation, one which I have been anticipating for a while, and one that I support completely.

Not to mention that these consoles are still 5 months off...

@mlp071 Its not a matter of attention... I kinda skimmed it. Why should I read a page of tired complaints that I've heard a million times and still dont care about?

90% of what he said doesn't matter, and the rest is just exaggerations and BS. Yawn.

I know 4 a fact there are tons of people excited about Xbox One. Read IGN, read N4G, even here... slowly people are starting to understand that the Xbox is offering something special.

In any case, when people get their hands on the console it will be all over. Its going to be a nice machine, to say the least!

No but he is very surprised because being excited about Xbox is something that happens like in , ohh..5% of the cases nowadays..You guys are almost rare as dinosaurs.

And now you say you can't even have enough attention to read something..tsk, tsk...

You sure about that co-op play, in an interview with Major Nelson he said two people can't use a game at the same time.

Since they give you all the options you would ever want I guess you can rent a game to check it out before you buy it, for me that's good because I am always looking for new games to buy. Without renting all I will buy are games that I know for a fact are good.

It's also nice that you can take the Kinect off and just sell it to GameStop or something, since I don't need it or want it.

Plus if my internet goes out I can just play single player games until it comes back on, that's always a nice feature.

Plus it's awesome that if I'm a little low on cash and a game comes out that I really want all I have to do is go down to GameStop and trade in some games and wah-lah the new game is mine to do what ever I want to do with it.

It's also nice that it doesn't have that cheap hot running crappy eSRAM that will probably lead to overheating problems and more cracked lead-free solder.

Also I hear the crappy eSRAM is creating framerate problems with all that heat, I'm glad we don't have to worry about that.

Plus it is 2013 and I don't know why all the other companies out there want to make their consoles with this old tech, but for me AA batteries in my controller is the future of gaming so get with it people.

Plus my neighbors live in an internet dead zone so this is great that I can save them some money on renting and just let them try out my games for a few days.

Sometimes I also like to buy used games that I'm not sure about, like one time there was this game called Batman Arkham Asylum and I wasn't sure if it would be for me so I bought it used and guess what it was awesome so I bought all the DLC then I bought Batman Arkham City and all it's DLC new by the way because when you know the game is good you need to support the devs as much as you can, and get this a new one is coming out and this time it is pre-ordered, wow imagine if I couldn't of bought that first used copy who knows I may have missed out on that whole franchise and so many others, but we don't need to worry about that, because this does everything you want.

It's also nice that they made it 30-50% less powerful then the competition, I'm mean power isn't everything right, that's for like jocks and weight lifters, were gamers we don't need power, we need some company you no someone to talk to so now we don't need anyone I can just talk to my console and that's all we gamers really wanted.

And now I can replace my DVR with a DVR and I can replace my DirecTV menu with one that is choppy and freezes but who cares about that because it's the future.

Well I could go on forever about this wonderful system that gives you what you want but I should stop, I wouldn't want people to get to jealous about our futuristic TV machine.

Happy TVing and may the DVR be with you.

There is the interview. I've got it so that it goes right to the part you're talking about. Nelson said that you can share your entire library between 10 people. That was an on-the-spot interview. I have read elsewhere that 2 at a time, with 8 others abel to play as long as the main console isnt playing.

I couldnt find any of the blogs you were referring to.

In any case, we can argue specifics, speak in generalities... but at the end of the day there is going to be a feature basically akin to what were hearing about now. Everything thats in the published license I posted earlier will make its way to the console. I dont expect them to have everything fully decided at this point, nor do I expect that even the most informed Microsoft rep could possibly know all of the specific details regarding their policies. After all, they are treading new territory, and trying to accommodate everyone in the process.

Whether people are willing to admit it or not, its going to be an awesome feature. It takes any reasonable complaints about sharing games with friends and throws it out the window. Not only that, but it makes sharing easier across time/space.

I think they have got a "w" on their hands.

@malokevi @udubdawgz it's just that there have been quite a few individuals who have taken a closer look at their "family plan" and there are relatively few absolutes and lots of conflicting info.

plus, there are the msoft spokesmen videos themselves that let you know they don't even have it down.

i haven't personally researched it, so, i can't vouch for any of it. but, there are multiple people with opposite pts of view and i have seen the videos and their incomplete answers to the questions involving the family plan.

as well, i'm a consumer skeptic and if it sounds too good...

check mineravatar's blog about it and that recent interview link (ken?) and some of the others.

@malokevi i'd seriously suggest you hold off on your analysis of their "family plan" until later.

it has some huge gaps that they've yet to fill in, despite, what their talking points state.

You're going to laugh.... but I might buy a Ouya. 99 bucks, you can use emulators on it, and some companies are pledging support for it. And I hear the controller is awesome. So on that basis alone it already could run 1500+ games if you include nes, snes, and genesis stuff. not to mention they have the 3d version of FF3 from square on it. Its a interesting little box.

@bunchanumbers I've heard the opposite about the controller. Luckily, there are ways to use a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller instead.

@Kamasutra @bunchanumbers even so if I can make it use my 360 fight stick then I can play street fighter 2 or Eternal Champions on it and that's not bad. Hell if it can run MAME stuff it would be a perfect little arcade box.

For instance, I think it looks beautiful. No next gen Halo at launch... Destiny should do just fine! :)

Some solid choices, but I would question a few from what I've seen and heard. Too bad a single indie game wasn't worth putting on the list. I have inFamous: Second Son on my personal list.

@Kamasutra

It's just a list of some of the GameSpot's employ's opinions though, which probably no one completely agrees with. There are some good games on it but everyone has their own tastes so I don't see why some people put so much stock into it, I mean I have seen some people act like it's the academy awards for games or something, when it's just an opinion. I agree though with your taste, I love the InFamous series and can't wait to get my InFamous fix. I wonder when we are finally gonna get a release date, they say fall but Sept. 22nd to Dec. 20th is too vague, I want a date.
