Just a quick review / initial impressions:
Overall, I think I would give it a 7/10 if I had to attach a score to it. Nothing mind blowing, and considering it was a console reveal that is kind of disappointing. They did what they set out to do though; games, games, games and no doubt there will be more shown throughout the week. I look forward to seeing more Titanfall, it just looks really cool and it has the potential to be the next Call of Duty if they nail the multiplayer.
- Titanfall stole the show for me! Looked very much like Call of Duty: Future Combat w/ excellent gunplay and fantastic verticality. Movement looked soooo smooth and natural on top of the Titan's looking very fun to play. Everything was just really visceral and smooth!
- Ryse looked visually cool, but I am little worried about the depth and variety of the combat.
- Dead Rising looked great, nothing mind blowing visually or gameplay wise, but I still think its a cool game.
- I knew Master Chief was going to be under that garb, don't ask me how, but I was just like lol I bet this is somehow Master Chief walking through the desert
- Killer Instinct is interesting, and I think it rounds out the offering they have
- Metal Gear Solid was probably the best looking game shown from top to bottom. Great idea to bring it to next-gen consoles. The graphics look amazing as does the gameplay. Can't wait to play that one!
- $499 seems a little expensive, especially with how slow the economy is recovering and what they are offering. Sony seems to have a huge advantage in that they have a more powerfull console, with potentially the same price and not as much negativity surrounding them.

Sure, because that's all they showed.
Sunset Overdrive didn't look like extreme violence and definitely looks targeted at the core audience.
Forza wasn't one of those either.
Quantum break looks more story drive than some extreme violence shooter.
And Project Spark I imagine will have just as much appeal to the core as LBP.
That's about a third of the games that were shown.

keighley blatantly tried to bate the thief 4 dev into ps4 vs xbone tech comparison with multiple questions, asking if the versions are different graphically etc.
wow, he's trying really hard. kudos too him to be honest, this is what i want to hear.
thief dev isn't biting at all. keeps deferring to generic "next gen" talk.

Strange they are revisiting KI. It wasn't a popular game was it? It i also a saturated market led by people who have made fighting games for decades.
The only game I read (didn't watch yet) that seemed like a surprise was Minecraft, everything else was kind of leaked in one form or another.
I don't see how those games can make up for the price and DRM fiasco. The only thing that can save the XB1 in my mind is if Sony has the same price and similar DRM.

Yeah I know and in EU XBO should be €440.

I wonder if 499 is a rough price,and they are waiting for Sony to announce the PS4 price then match it or beat it by $50.00 !

I thought it was prince of persia that halo reveal.
Yep, he confirmed that a polygon and particles heavy game would show a greater difference than his game which is texture heavy and most likely aimed at the PC right now, he clearly tiptoed around the questions for obvious reasons.

wow, other than the price i really dont even think this is a possible valid opinion
No used games,always online,499€, kinect mandatory. Most of the games they showed, no gameplay whatsoever. They say inengine, let's wait for the actual gameplay.
Price is high, but I expected them to sell hardware for a profit this time around. I think $450 wouldn't be as shocking. It'll be interesting to see how fast they get to the first price drop.
Surprised by the number of games that appear to be exclusives. Lots published by Microsoft Studios.

Not a bad E3, certainly a ton of games for the core gamer..
I am semi-OK with most of the DRM, apart from the 24 hour check-in, but £429??
The one game I might have forgiven it all for me is Forza 5, but so far it's looking really arcade-esque and the slight OTT atmosphere is just not motorsport to me.. That and there's very little chance neither my Fanatec wheels will work..
Without the 24hour DRM check-in and £300 would have made me consider it, but £429?? That's 3 Xbox 360's...
6/10 Microsoft, you really need to do better..

What has that anything to do with consoles? 499 now is worse than it was six years ago because that competition. People will use that money for a iPad and buy no console
360 might now be good enough for even most hardcore gamers when xbox/ps2 wasnt. Only few exclusives wont come to 360
Killer Instinct was VERY popular, but that was a long long time ago. Almost 20 years ago.
