E3 2013 Thread

[Menegrothx]

Actually, there might be a political angle to this next console war. In the last few weeks, more news stories have broken about corporations spying on their customers and passing that information on to various government agencies. If enouhg outrage is stoked, then the Kinect's always on tech might be viewed as another method for gaining that information.

Eagerly waiting to see a Sony advert that resembles the political adverts heard in radios in the GTA series and Vampire: The Masquerade.

Kit has already seen a ton of "I don't want the Kinect spying in my home" or "My son trades in games all the time, so we're getting a PS4" from other non-video game forums she visits. It really surprises me that this has spread so far that people who probably never played a video game in their life are pissed about this.

I also ran into this the other day:
Me: "Did you hear about the Xbox One?"
Bro: "The first Xbox? What about it?"
Me: "No, the one announced at E3"
Bro: "I thought they already had like two Xbox systems"
Me: "Yeah, this is the name for their third one"
Bro: "That's a dumb name."

Also, my family lives in the middle of nowhere. Their internet is unstable at best. Sometimes they can go weeks without Internet before AT&T fixes their lines. My step-mother would go crazy if she couldn't get them out of her hair for that long.

Anyway... Here's what I've decided after seeing additional footage from the game floor:
I'll most likely get a PS4, but not this year. I'll wait to see feedback on some of my anticipated games for the system and then I'll pick one up (most likely next year).
Purchasing a 3DS XL sometime in the coming months. There's a ton of awesome games for it already, and I'm looking forward to the games they showed off at E3.
The Wii-U will be picked up sometime in November, or earlier if I can catch it on sale. Excited for just about every game announced at E3 and I'm looking forward to giving the system a chance. So far everybody loves the controls, even the touch screen parts. I think Nintendo did right this time around.

I'd like to see a list of announced retail and downloadable games for PS4/Xbox One on a chart that shows their release date and platforms. I still don't know what Xbox One games are exclusive beyond Killer Instinct, Halo whatever, and the new game from the Alan Wake folks...

Has anyone found such a list?

Both of these are from Wikipedia, so take them with a grain of salt.

The problem is that I want to cross check these with the games coming to PC as well.

EDIT: nvm

EDIT2: I am surprised that there are more true exclusives for Xbox One than for PS4. Didn't expect that, given I am more familiar with/excited for the ones for the PS4.

Id rather have them like the ones for Red Alert 3:

So, have we done anything about which upcoming games interest us the most? Here's a few that piqued my interest:

Mad Max
Battlefield 4
The Division
Batman: Arkham Origins
Watch Dogs
SoundSelf
Star Wars: Battlefront
Saints Row IV

There are other titles, of course. I just wanted to give a representative sample. Many of these games involve wandering around large cityscapes, post-apocalyptic settings, or battlefields. I want to explore (and in some cases to destroy and demolish) and survive.

And then there is SoundSelf, which just looks like a cool idea.

I am interested in all of Nintendos coop offerings. But other than that The Crew is the title that piqued my interest the most. Its like a Vin Diesel-less Fast and the Furious movie in the Need for Speed universe.

I'll have to check it out. I love the Fast & Furious films. Not because they're great. They're just 'fun'. Didn't see a trailer for it yet!
