I was meh at first, and now I feel really sour.

I mean all they did was show a boat hitting a bridge (Quandum Break), show a pre-rendered video of two McLarens driving (which tells us nothing about how good the game will look), show us how fast X-Box turns on from sleep mode, and how we can tell it to switch menu's instead of pressing a single button....and that's about it.

After the fact, I now know about a used game fee, and an online connection every 24 hours to play games...so I'm pretty thrown off.

Because MS abandoned the 360 after 2010, and my 360's poor reliability (on #4), I decided to get a PS4/Wii U this upcoming gen, and an XB late. However I can't buy a new 2014 game in 2019, so this "used game charge" will set my XB One purchase back even furthur.

I now understand the extreme fanboyism for Sony. They might not always be the best (especially 2006-2008), but they are ALWAYS consitantly good. You can't go wrong with a Playstation, or really a Nintendo for that matter, but on consoles Nintendo does need more games (GCN, Wii and Wii U are all pretty weak in terms of # of games).


Alright, who hacked Michael-5? Come out you coward!?

(This post does not sound like something you would hear from Michael-5 ;( - fricken women).

Also "MS abandoned Xbox360 after 2010" - I think you mean Nintendo and the Wii.

Why does this not sound like me?

Yes Nintendo did abandon the Wii post 2010, but I bought my Wii in 2010, and I've been pleasently surprised about what released after I bought it. I wasn't aware of XenoBlade when I bought my Wii, and Donkey Kong Country was amazing. Plus Skyward Sword is a true gem.

So I didn't feel burnt by Nintendo, but I did feel Microsoft burnt me when they started to "milk" franchises. Halo 4's villian feel un-natural to me, re-introducing the forrunners felt like the most random thing to happen in the series, and they are nothing like I expected them to be after Halo 1-3. Forza Motorsport 4 felt like a step back IMO because no longer are we racing well thought out races, using stock cars. We are racing cars modified to artificial performance indexes, with free upgrades.... Gears is okay, but after the ending in 3, I feel like I'm done with that series. It ended, well, but it ended.

P.S. I still think most Sony fanboys are jerks....maybe I can set a good example.

The things that disappointed me.

* Used games fee
* REQUIRED to be online at least once every 24 hours
* REQUITED to be online to play a game first time
* TV related things
* No gamez showed (can be fixed at E3)

Ethomaz....you and I might end up having a very similar opinion on games......no.....no, that just can't be!

Wait, no, it won't be. I like to own ALL racing games, where you stick with your favorite. Heck, I just bought Sega GT for my Dreamcast so I could have Sony's compeditor to Gran Turismo.

According to a PM i got from a well know PlayStation fan, i cant join through regular means? He also told me that "one does not simply just walk into the PlayStation Nation" and supposedly, they didn't choose to be apart of the PlayStation Nation over night. They were supposedly just born that way

You dont choose PlayStation. PlayStation chooses you.

The natural Sonyite habitat has always been rather interesting

I'm am not worthy but i am willing to do whatever it takes to become an accepted PlayStation Nation member from here on out

LOL, when I get a PS3 to replace my broken one, I plan to humiliate ethomaz in GT, and then....well maybe I'll take his spot on Playstation Nation as the Racer Boy, but I don't really want to. I want to be THE racer boy, not just on Playstation Nation.

Well I know they reveal the Forza 5 for launch title but they showed nothing about the title... it like just sai "we will release Forza 5 at One launch"... the Remedy new game is interesting but nothing showed too... they only wated time with the new CoD that everybody already saw it before.

What more? I watched the video minutes ago and I can't remember other game cited... lol the sports games... I almost forgot... well they are released every year for every plataform.

That is my point... I'm happy that you agreed with me... at least one time

As far as I´m concerned, this console is a cluster fuck.

-Kinect is required
-Online is required once every 24 hours
-Fee to play used games

They completely killed any excitement I had for it.

Always online. NO used games. ZERO backwards compatibility. Why the fuck would anyone want this thing?
