You have to think of downloading a digital copy of a game not in terms of time vs installing from a disk, but in time vs. driving to the store, buying the game, driving home, and installing the game. And for those of you who order your games and have them shipped via Amazon, you still aren't going to have it at 12:01 on release day like a digital download that pre-loads before release.
I dunno, I have a job. I preorder the game if I want it and then it's on my front porch when I get home, ready to play. Im pretty sure the majority of people dont get on and play at midnight of release day.

plus if it sucks I can make some of my money back reselling
 
Rofl that shit is awesome for DR3 , your sibling/spouse/child is playing it...run in the room and yell "FUCK ZOMBIES" and watch them get swarmed. This is why i think Xbone is gonna be superior to shitstation 3.5 , and gamers need to embrace this shit so we can get more cool concepts into gaming even if its small shit like "Archers" and a hand gesture forward. I remember people crying when the PSone came out and they said "all those buttons are stupid" or the controller is ass , well the design is still ass but it made all consoles going forward adapt that design cause it added more depth and player control to games and so on. Evolution , embrace it you monkeys!

I dont remember anything about the controller and the sega had just as many buttons and certain nintendo's did also which the PS is the same layout besides joystick and the trigger. Maybe the joy sticks but I dont remember that being a complaint either. Also pretty awesome if I want to go camping ect where there isnt really a connection im fucked to play, and im required to have a camera in my living room ect?

Honestly at this point i cant tell if you're trolling or if this is you being serious. While i agree that the DR3 aspect of kinect listening is admittedly awesome for situations such at that(added depth is $) the PS4 is no slouch. Nothing the XB1 has shown makes it stand apart (unless you want to count negatives) from PS4. They pretty much ruined the rebirth of KI with this pay model and if they didnt have Titanfall it would be cancelled. Sure its also on PC but most of the people i game with only own business laptops not full gaming desktops(since i know someone will say "omg just buy it on pc bro!")

Hopefully they have Xbox style PS4 controllers at launch so i can try to convince friends to jump ship from M$.

In all seriousness , only reason i dont want to see the Xbone tank is for the simple reason of them wanting to incorporate your voice and body into gaming , why i enjoyed the Wii when it released cause of this fact. Then the support and its limits and the power of the system really couldnt do much more then sword swings. I grow tired of the same shit being pumped out in sequels , give me cool shit like its mentioned in that article albeit gimmicky and its only way forward is only gonna get better when more creative people embrace it along with gamers. Whats so wrong about that?

So in other words you want what they'll no doubt eventually do with PSEye - just they're not putting all their eggs in that basket yet.

I am fine with either system suceeding , im not a fool to pick one system and let there be only one and zero competition. That shit isnt healthy for any business , if PS4 does it better , so be it. But they are not pushing the PSeye from the information i have seen thus far.

Eh the Wii(nintendo in general) does nothing but pump out the same shit every system really. Wii-U needs a much larger 3rd party support or to have their 1st party developers come up with completely new IPs.

I wouldnt mind the XB1 as much if the Kinect was not force fed down our throats during purchase. I wonder how much the XB1 would be without that bullshit connected to it. That plus MS just seems arrogant, they are trying to push us into what their vision of the future will be, even if its possible that they are right, that should be the consumer choice if we want to go that route.

"We have a product for people who cannot access some kind of internet connectivity and it's called Xbox 360".
He said this before the MS or Sony E3 conference, i wonder if hes still singing this tune after Sony just bent MS over and sandpaper fucked them.

I'm pretty sure that the last generation taught us that Motion Controls suck and will always suck and they are not a replacement for a controller or mouse/kb and never, ever will be. That shit with DR3 sounds purely obnoxious and the Ryse stuff is completely unnecessary. We willalwaysbe able to do somethingfasterandeasierwith a button/key press than we can with voice or motion.

I gave Microsoft and Nintendo the benefit of the doubt when I bought my Kinect and my Wii and boy do I regret that. No one has ever done anything worthwhile with either, because there is nothing worthwhile to do with either that isn't simpler and quicker to do with a physical key press. The only thing I got out of either was personallyknowinghow stupid both technologies are through experience.

The next generation of immersive experiences is through something like Occulus Rift, not bullshit waggle.

This x100. Anyone remember how Microsoft was going to have people on the PC play on the same servers as Xbox players? How about how MS was starting a huge initiative to promote PC gaming with Windows 7, and make the experience of playing games like the xbox where you didn't have to install the program first and could just run off the disc? How about, as Sean mentioned, all the hype surrounding the Kinect (which I bought into like an ass), or the PS move controls, and how it was going to make FPS and other genres of games amazing? All we got was jumping around like assholes on a white water course in Kinect adventures. The Wii was fun at first, but the controls got in the way of you know, the actual game. I have an Xbox 360, and a PS3, and a high end PC for gaming. The PC gets the most use, followed by the Xbox, and the PS3 is our dedicated Blu-Ray player. I was 100% sure I would purchase an Xbox One over the PS4 before all of this used game DRM and kinect horseshit. I don't even really buy or sell used games. It's the principal. I understand that MS is trying to future proof their box by making so much of it tied to the interwebs. But what they are doing now seems much like what SOE did with EQ2, and their game engine.

SOE took a gamble that processors would increase in raw speed, and instead processors split cores. What they have had is a POS engine that ran like shit on most high end PC's for a long time. I am no longer excited about the Xbox One because I want a GAMING system. If I want to play quick fun games I have my phone. If I want to watch netflix I can do it on any system. If I want to read books I use my Kindle Paperwhite. If I want to play games, and not have bullshit motion controls that will be forgotten about 1 year after launch, or tablet controls that will be half baked and barely used after launch, I will play them on a gaming system and not a glorified media center PC. I can't predict the future, but I know Microsoft's track record. Sure, I will miss the shit out of Xbox live and all of it's cool features. But all MS is showing me is that they are not only out of touch with what and most people I know want, but that they took a gamble in a direction that is going to bite them in the ass.

I'm sorry, but have you even ever played a Dead Rising game? (Either 1 or 2)...

Having to wiggle on your couch every single time you get jumped on by a zombie? (hundreds of times probably per playthrough?)

No thanks. Worst "creative" idea I've ever heard of. I bet you'd move less playing the latest Kinect Dancing game.

That aspect is indeed immeasurably gay, but the other part was pretty awesome.

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.)
Trying to creep through some zombies then someone knocks on your door and you say to yourself "Oh fuck" as everything turns to you. Some may hate it in its entirety but that extra layer of possibility is kind of cool.

It's going to foster such great relations between people and asshole neighbors that honk their horn for people to come out/etc for sure... Terrible feature is terrible.
