I think by this Fall I'll have gotten my PS4. For Christmas I was planning on a Wii U...these days I'm starting to feel conflicted between that and a One. Decisions decisions...


For now i'd say wiiu because itll have smash bros but for next year with bloodborne and Uncharted makes it ps4 easy.  Ill say right now that the WiiU has been one of the most disappointing consoles ive ever owned.  Smash bros will finally be here so that could change for me xD

I loved it! =D it's like the perfect game to play with friends xD the stages were awesome! it's kinda like Powerstone but much more offensive xD and again it's really funny with other people =P 

I can't remember the stages exactly....one is everybody fighting on lillipads and occasionaly a fish jumps out and eats a random lillipad which can kill you, Titanic one where it breaks apart and one part you hold onto the rails trying to hit eachother off, fighting on an iceberg with life jackets to bump into eachother and try smash eachother into the ocean and one where a T-rex is chasing after you, that's all I can remember right now xD

Would be my favorite fighting game if they bring it back ;P

Kinda like Powerstone? I loved the Powerstone games! Sadly, Kung Fu Chaos doesn't seem to be compatible with the 360!

New Mass Effect Will Have Nods to The Original Trilogy

BioWare GM Aaryn Flynn has reiterated that the new, as-of-yet-untitled Mass Effect game is an "all-new journey" that doesn't involve Commander Shepard and his or her story, but that it will still have nods towards the original trilogy.

"It's exciting because Montreal is really killing it with Frostbite--they're working really hard on that stuff," he said. "Casey and the Mass Effect leads are really working well with them, making sure everyone's learning stuff, getting the fundamental tenets of the IP down. And they're just going for it; they're doing a lot of really cool stuff right now."

When he was asked if the new game takes place before or after the existing games, Flynn said he "can't get into that much." He did offer up some hope for fans who don't want to see everything they know about Mass Effect abandoned though: "We've got a pretty cool idea for how we're going to carry on, keep the trilogy story separate, but at the same time, give a bunch of nods to fans who've really enjoyed the trilogy in the past," Flynn said. "That's all going to come out soon."

Flynn avoided discussing the idea of returning characters but did acknowledge there are "definitely returning races. It's Mass Effect, so it wouldn't be a Mass Effect game without the Krogans. The technology that makes the Krogans look so good, it's just off the charts, it's amazing," he said.

If you decide to go with a PS4 + X1 combo, you might as well get the X1 in fall, and the PS4 for Christmas. I mean let's face it, the X1 has more content to offer you for the rest of the year than PS4. You get Sunset, the Master Chief Collection, Ori, the Fable Legends beta, the Halo 5 beta, and Horizon 2 (though you could play that on 360 if you got one). PS4 has The Last of Us, but you can play it on PS3. It has Little Big Planet 3, but you can play it on PS3. So really, you're left with DriveClub, and chances are that between Project CARS, The Crew, and Horizon 2 you can probably find a better racer, or at the very least one that's still very enjoyable to you.

 

Then next year, both systems will have amazing lineups. So ya, just my two cents, but X1 in fall and PS4 for Christmas seems like the more sensible order to me.

I'm pretty sure the One will still not be available in Romania by Christmas time as I'm not seeing it anywhere these days.

Isn't it releasing in most other countries this September?

But ya, of course if it isn't readily available to you I can see why you'd get the PS4 first

I don't remember Romania being one of the September countries. I guess I will also have to import it!

Still undecided on D4. It looks like The Walking Dead and THe WOlf Among Us so that has me interested




       

Going to put up a new poll in a moment. Ill be putting all Games announced in the big 3's conferences. YOu will thn rate the game based off what you know, how the trailer was presented, and what you're overall thoughts are on the game. Ratings will be based off 1-10 though you can give decimals through comments. Ill thn average the comments and votes to a final score
