I know someone who'd nearly get the PS4 just for the sake of playing Kingdom Hearts 3, they are insanely into that game.

MS's exclusive are better but they are not fantastic. Quantom Break is probably my favourite as I was a fan of Alan Wake. Love Forza too but Sunset Overdrive is a bit meh, should of given Insomniac a go at Banjo Kazooie. I'd die for an exclusive that doesn't involve a gun. Sonys are lacking too. InFamous, Killzone and Drive Club aren't really what I want from next gen.
For all thats written about the Internet connection stuff I was a bit worried about the amount of Multiplayer heavy games shown at E3. Destiny, Titanfall and the Division to name a few.

Considering my favourite games on PS3 were the Infamous games (along with the Arkham games and Enslaved), Infamous would persuade me to go for PS4.
Although I would like to see gameplay for games like Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive.
But I also have a PS+ sub and PS4 carries that over. Also I wouldn't be getting either for a while yet so will see how games stack up then.

Matter of opinion, I'd prefer Sony's exclusives myself. I'm a pretty big fan of the Killzone series, as well as inFamous, and then there's a few Sony series that haven't had anything announced yet, but could well come in the future like Ratchet and Clank. I fecking love Insomniac.

Only xbox exclusive that'd really appeal to me is Dead Rising, and I really hate the Halo series. And stuff like Forza for xbox or GT for PS4 wouldn't impact me at all, it's quite rare for me to get into a racing game. Last racing game I truly loved was Crash Team Racing :pac:

Only xbox exclusives I care about are Gears of War and Halo. Halo 4 was COD 2.0 with better graphics, and Gears has turned into a shadow of itself and is unlikely to get another installment id say.

nothing in the X Bone exclusives I can't live without (even though D4 looked like it could be very good).

Shocking penalty decision given against Japan

You loved Insomniac, so would you not be interested in Sunset Overdrive on XB1?

D4 looked interesting until the Kinect controls were pointed out.

This match between japan and Italy has been the game of the tournament so far IMO. End to end stuff.

Not enough to make me want to get the xbox. It was games like Spyro when it was made by Insomniac, and Ratchet and Clank that made me love the company. After the disappointment of Fuse though I'm a bit more cautious on their new games.

Wow.
Was just about to gush about Italy vs Japan but thats put a hault to it.
R.I.P

Tinie

Raging that the italians won that. So undeserving.

Angron

I agree tinie, I think it should have been a draw. That ref was a bit crap with some of his decisions.

RIP James, big guy or not 51 is still very young.

EdK

Japan were great full of energy and good play, penalty decision was a shocker and they had a couple of good chances,What was the fella at trying to shield the ball though boot it out for a throw

I`m 98% sure that KH3 is multiplatform. Don`t think Arkham Origins is next gen either, not worth the cost to port either when it seems so safe.

Jaysus considerd myself the no.1 Sopranos fan going as a teenager so it just feels so odd to heard Tony (James G) has passed away....

I get there were legit concerns, and many who expressed them well. But for everyone of them, there was 100 people who were just verging on anti-fanboyism, and who came across as just wanting a pop at the Xbox...

Handy it's going to be on Xbox 1 as well...

Angron

I was going by the image jay posted, it listed KH3 as a ps4 exclusive. Plus, the whole being quite a bit cheaper would tip it in the favour of the PS4 anyway.

Microsoft have done a 180 on the DRM stuff for the X1. Hopefully that'll be the end of most of the moaning...

It genuinely annoys me that the family sharing/disc-less gaming will also be pulled.
Why cant they have two options when the console is switched on for the first time I wonder.
I thought it would put an end to the moaning but apparently its only made it worse on twitter, it seems. Only thing is it looks a lot more desperate, IE: "Too little, too late, Microsoft!"
The console isnt out for another 5 months, some people are muppets.

Agreed. Don't see why they couldn't have kept the shared library maybe even just for purely downloaded games (which obviously can't be traded or re-sold so still fits their original intended use for the shared library system). Only started getting my head round the shared library thing the last few days and it seemed like a good idea in theory, though Microsoft really needed to explain it better.

But at the same time, I commend MS for listening to gamers and giving them back what they want. Not that they had much choice given pre-orders and stuff, but it still took guts, and made the Xbone more appealing to a lot of people. Still don't like the Kinect requirement and heavy focus on media stuff though.

I'm still PS4, but now I'd consider getting an Xbone in the future.

Thought he was older, RIP

His legacy will be his stunning portrayal of Tony Soprano truly one of television's most iconic and legendary characters

D.Q

Stunned to hear about James Gandolfini. Obviously didn't know the man but I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I felt like I knew the character that he brought to life so expertly. He was so good that it's literally impossible for me to look at that face and distinguish between the two. Really really sad. Rip.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Getting hard to watch this Tahiti game now. They'll do well to keep single figures now.

I wonder what the odds were of double figures before the match?
