Re: The Official Xbox Thread

Sony's February 20 "PlayStation Meeting" event in New York will see the PlayStation 4 being officially unveiled, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Last night, Sony released a 45-second video inviting gamers to "see the future" on February 20, with invitations to the "PlayStation Meeting" event being sent out shortly afterwards.

While Sony has not made the details of its event public, many speculated that this would be the unveiling of the PS4. The Wall Street Journal has now directly said Sony will announcing their new console at the event, with a report saying "people familiar with the matter have said the new device will make its debut there."

Social features and the user experience will be two of the key focuses of the new console over raw hardware power, according to the report. "Sony is planning to incorporate more social gaming aspects into the new machine," said the WSJ. "Also, while hardware improvements were a key focus of past console upgrades, Sony is more focused this time on the changes in how users interact with the machine."

The WSJ also states that Sony will debut the PS4 before Microsoft unveils its own next-generation Xbox, although both machines will launch later in 2013.

Paying for Xbox Live is a robbery.
That's their downside.


PS3 and Xbox normally share all the same "big name" titles bar a few exclusives like Halo, Gears of War.

But there's God of War, InFamous, Uncharted, etc etc.


I'm rooting for a ps4. And I will more than likely get a Wii U once a new super smash bros is announced

Not really when you consider the massive difference in service between the two and besides £40 a year is absolutely nothing.

You pay for what you get in life and this rings true here.

[Forza]

PC FTW. Better everything, except local multiplayer.

I don't think there's much of a difference between PSN and Xbox Live. Xbox probably has the flashier menus and party chat, but that's about it.

[FalcaoPunch]

What mt said.

I've had an Xbox since they first released and have always had Xbox Live up till about last year. (Minus the 3 month I bought to play Halo 4 online)


All in all the actual concept of playing online is EXACTLY the same. Whether is fifa,call of duty, or any other game with MP.


It's all about the little things, even with that it's only things like party chat etc.
Maybe of a silver membership provided online gaming and gold just other things like for example playstation plus.



I guarantee you over 80 percent of people would revert to silver. Because all they want to do is just play online. Not pay for a subscription service to be able to use their already existing subscription service ( Netflix)

Arguing about client hosted multiplayer

One thing I noticed is that despite paying, you still get a million ads on the dashboard...

Also you missed out on the free custom Xbox for 10 year subscribers

PS4 to be unveiled tonight ?

Ps3, Xbox & PC ftw

DNA

BTW there are rumors going around that the PS4 will make you pay like XBL does for online.

Hardly surprising because the difference in service is so huge at the moment and Sony are really losing out on so much money by sticking to the free service.

Also ends one of the arguments fanboys use

[FalcaoPunch]

No price either

[Onyx]

When's holiday 2013?

[TalkingReckless]

[Casciavit]

I think the menus for both consoles could be like a desktop. Where you click icons etc to go on games, browser etc.

[RealGunner]

Should be good. Might announce Halo 5

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

While Halo will be a massive draw i don't think they will announce that just yet.

Considering Halo 4 didn't come out till end of last year, although i suppose they could throw up a CGI trailer and get some hype going.

If they are going to announce exclusive titles i think they might go for either new IPs or titles that haven't been in the spotlight for a while.

Either way i don't expect many exclusive titles to be mentioned, Sony had Killzone and Infamous and i doubt Microsoft will announce more than that.

Will probably be more about what the machine is capable of and social stuff.

[Onyx]

Are both consoles releasing new exclusives?

[RealGunner]

yea
