Not sure about E3, companies have been known to do lots of smoke and mirrors and I am not convinced about any games that have been shown - even more so that in most cases we havent actually seen the dev kits plugged in. I know EG said they believed some of the MS demo's were on devkits, but i currently am not convinced. I am going to Eurogamer show in September so will at least get to see the PS4 games.. :)

Sony's development environment is strangely better than MS's at this point in time apparently.

this is why i mentionned "from the actual consoles"

Digital Foundry was making a hands on test

Yeah and what they said wasn't particularly encouraging :) 

The biggest shock remains in how few of these games are actually running directly from console hardware right now, with almost every third-party developer openly admitting to a reliance on PC-based debug machines. The accuracy of this approach doesn't precisely pinpoint the end result, though we do see Dead Rising 3 and Crimson Dragon struggling to sustain 30fps under such conditions. This at least reveals each studio's attempts to demonstrate realistic results without the actual hardware to hand, rather than showing off overly flattering ones using unbounded specs.

Software running on genuine, visible Xbox One hardware falls in with a small first-party club, including titles like Forza Motorsport 5, Killer Instinct, Ryse and Dead Rising 3. Each plays at a promised 1080p native resolution, with the former two targeting 60fps as well, both of which show huge promise as launch titles, covering off the racing and fighting genres quite nicely. The lack of games optimised to this point on actual Xbox One hardware is worrying, but even so, if the E3 demos are at all indicative, fans of zombie action games and rail-shooters should also be very well catered for when the hardware launches.
