Who has it preordered already and who will preorder it?

I only know about Kowe on VGC and some other real life friends.

I prordered today. And was able to include in my price 3 launch titles. They said the games will be same price as this gen. :)


which games?

I preordered CoD (just had to get the next gen CoD) and Quantum Break, because the concept of a mix between a TV series and a game is very cool. And Remedy are talented people.

I went Forza 5, Battlefield 4 and Quantum Break. The best launch games Ive ever bought. I know thats premature for all we know they may all bomb. But knowing the devs and there history, I have 90% assurance they will provide AAA software that is truly next gen.

I just could not get into Battlefield so far and I don't even know why. There are some big and popular franchises that share the same fate for me. Mass Effect, Battlefield, Metal Gear Solid are just not my cup of tea.

I might preorder some other games as well.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

For those who are wondering why DirtyP2002 said in the OP to not bring negativity into this thread, I gave him permission to open this thread and told him I would try to monitor it. Other threads, we see a lot of negative comments coming from, so it's good to have a place where people can discuss what they like about it free of criticism.


Sounds good then.

What I liked:

Install games to HD. No disc switching. One of the nice things about both my hacked Wii and the Wii U.

Improved Kinect. Less latency and a low enough minimum range that I think it could work in my house now. Disappointed there's still no controller designed for use in conjunction with it, though.

I thought I saw a headline somewhere that it would have save states or a similar feature that lets you save/resume at any point. A well designed game already effectively does this, but now we don't have to hope the game is well-designed, I guess.

That's it. Not enough to justify a buy. Sorry.

It was confirmed though that you can use the controller and Kinect in the conference even Tablet as well all the same time if developer wishes. 

Take Ryse by Crytek, which is now confirmed to use the traditional controller with Kinect. Making the game probably much tighter to play. Rather than on rails.

It is all very cool, just not to me, because in Brazil the tv stuff will not work, neither the movies dates and tickets, or the sports stuff.
The console is cool, the controler looks good, it will be powerful and that´s great.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

The biggest thing it has going for it is  the 15 exclusives and 8 new IP's but we simply do not know if they are any good.

The exact number of 15 is actually quite funny because it reminds me of this:

15 launch titles and a lot of them new IP's and we all know how that turned out.... One or two good titles, some ok and alot of well.... crap.

This trend of creating threads with its own rule set is complete bullshit.

The website already has forum rules we don't need additional rules in every single thread telling us what we can and can't do.

If people want to be negative then nothing should stop them from doing that in a constructive way. Saying its off topic is bullshit.

/end rant

Kinect 2.0 looks good. No perceivable lag whatsoever O_O I wished they showed more of it.

Oh yes, I have one thing actually positive, I really like the look of the new controller, would be cool if they have USB versions of it too so I can hook it up to my PC.

USB?

It uses wifi direct.  This is the next gen pal.  


I know it uses wifi direct, I'm just saying it'd be cool if they have an USB version like the 360 did since they had a USB version and wireless version as well. No biggie if they don't have one though, I can always pick up a wifi direct adapter for it.

I am glad it will have a bunch of games. Some of them might truly be brilliant too.
