It just looks like standard 3rd person action game fighting with crappy collision, yea.

And we all know nothing improves minutiae like that when they've still got 12 months or so to release, right?

It just seems like anything halfway worth a damn is slated for a 2014 launch. Launch titles for both systems look very underwhelming so far.

Hrmm, then again after going back and looking at the 360/PS3 launch titles, they were pretty mediocre as well. Damn, how hard is it to get some launch titles that are worth getting excited about, that actually make me want to buy a system?

Anyone have links to the full MS/Sony/Bungie/EA E3 reveals? All I can find is summary crap with terrible "reporters" shouting over them.

Most of the big Next-Gen only games are 2014, yeah. The cross-generation games that will be launch titles, like Watch Dogs, are still fantastic games though and they'll make these launches amazing and by far the best launches ever even if nothing else is that great.

I'll be picking up Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed 4 on the PS4 for sure. May also pick up Killzone Shadowfall and Knack. Plus PS+ members get Drive Club Plus.

Ah, I missed Watch Dogs being a launch title, wasn't on the list of several sites that I quickly googled. That one may be worthy(I hope)

this has got to be a joke now, dead rising 3 is literally waiting for you to rustle your jimmies

Take Ryse Son of Rome, for instance. The game is played with your controller ? you don't use your arm to swing your sword, or pull an arrow out of your eye. Instead, you shout "archers!" to summon some medieval aerial support, and beckon your men forward with your arm. You do all this while you sit on your couch: every part of Ryse works with your controller, parts of it are just better with Kinect.

In Dead Rising 3, an open-world zombie game that seems to be part Grand Theft Auto and part Kingdom Rush, your controller is once again your friend. Your Kinect might be your enemy. Zombies can hear you talking, even rustling on your couch, and they'll come after you. (Prepare to play Dead Rising 3 in the quietest room you can find.) Once they find you, if you wriggle on your couch as you presumably would if a zombie were attempting to eat your entire face all at once, you'll wriggle the zombie off you. The controller stays in your both hands, but as you react to the game, the game reacts to you.

In a more futuristic demo called "Reflex," Xbox reps took the idea even further. As we walked through a Tron-like level, we could raise the controller over our face to activate our shield, touch our temple to activate our X-ray vision, and duck out of the way to, well, duck out of the way. These are activities that make sense, that we might even reflexively do anyway while we game ? I know I lean a little every time I try to dodge a bullet in Halo. With an always-on, always-watching, always-listening Kinect, our surroundings and our actions become part of the game.

Might not be bad if they actually continue to support the 360 like it's supported now - reality is they won't however and will obsolesce it by 2016 or so.
