Not that it matters, but you don't get the 4000 gamerscore just for purchasing. It's 4000 gamerscore that can be unlocked via achievements (1000 for each of the 4 games).

I'm really glad to hear this. Now that everyone can play it maybe the franchise will eclipse Call of Duty as the go-to FPS since half the gaming population will no longer be bad-mouthing it just because they can't play it.

I don't know why but I
that he added that part. Maybe they should give achievement points automatically for buying Kinect required games. That would probably double the number of those games games that get sold.

The only question that matters is if you get the original multiplayer from Halo 1 & 2. If yes then it will be a hit, if not they are really really dumb.

I wasn't able to watch their press conference, but apparently Microsoft didn't even mention Kinect once during the entire thing. Best decision they've made in five years.
I'm pretty much locked in to my PS4, but it's in all of our interests to have strong competition. Glad to see Microsoft righting the ship.

They specifically said that Halo 2 will have its original multiplayer without any changes at all other than the addition of dedicated servers, 1080p/60fps, and a few new maps.
They also strongly insinuated that all four games would have their multiplayer run on their original engines. So if you play a Halo 1 map then you play the Halo 1 multiplayer on the Halo 1 engine. If you play Halo 2 map then you play the Halo 2 multiplayer on the Halo 2 engine, etc.
Additionally it looks like this will all be accessed from one matchmaking menu. That means if you want to play Halo 2 you just change an option in the matchmaking menu, you don't have to "boot into" Halo 2 or anything like that. You can even mix and match games on your playlists so you can set it up so you play a Halo 2 map on the Halo 2 game engine, and the next map that loads will be a Halo 3 map on the Halo 3 engine. Lastly, this functionality works with campaign levels as well (not just multiplayer).
It seems like they're doing it right this time, not just sticking one game's multiplayer on the other game's campaigns like they did with Halo Anniversary.

They literally mentioned nothing other than non-Kinect games throughout the entire thing.

I watched it and my impressions were that MS was trying VERY hard not to do ANYTHING that people might get upset with.
They intentionally didn't talk much about anything but games games games. Games are safe everyone loves games.
The positives they announced a lot of cool games, the negatives the vast majority of trailers were CG and not gameplay with little info on dates for most stuff.
Sony has a habit of announcing stuff they are working on that is a loooong ways off to show that they have a lot of stuff(see the last guardian) when they don't have much ready to roll. Looks like MS pull a page out of Sonys playbook and announced everything they have concept art on.

The first hour or so was all stuff for 2014, while the last 30 minutes was just "in the future". However a lot of the stuff in that first hour was either multi-plat or DLC.
Sunset Overdrive, Master Chief Collection, and Forza Horizon 2 were all for this year.
Crackdown, Ori, Phantom Dust, and Scalebound all had no mention of dates and Crackdown/Scalebound were CGI only. I'd imagine we won't see much of them until next E3 at which point they'll be either holiday 2015 or back into 2016.
No mention of Quantum Break or the new Gears game at all. I'd imagine Gears won't be until holiday 2016 with Halo 5 occupying holiday 2015.

I watched EA's and is seemed like they were bummed all the Battlefield hardline got leaked. The guy came out and made a joke about how the were going to give a 60 minute presentation on all the stuff you have been watching on the internet the last two weeks.
People were pretty surprised though the Hardline beta was ready to go.
I missed most of the Ubisoft but the Assasins Creed looks noticeably graphically improved.
What was funny to me was when MS was going over Spark and the video host was Conker the squirrel and people started going wild. I never played those games and didn't even know the squirrels name, I was like "Why the hell are people cheering for that stupid squirrel?"

They had no misssteps but also no great stuff, I give it a solid good presser. I liked the Crackdown and Phantom dust as nice little surprises. The things that stuck me a negatives were the showing off of Indie developers , it just seemed like Sony had dictated a part of their show they had to respond to and the Sunset Overdrive, the CG trailers were amazing then you saw the game play and uh uh is this watch dogs again? Looks great then when you get it, it doesnt look great anymore.
Seems like they get it now with that Mattrick clown out of the way. People buy gaming systems to play games.

Homework for you: Play either Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 or Conker Live and Reloaded (the re-release) on original Xbox. It's worth it. And then you'll wonder how the hell that game was ever a N64 game.

Sony presser getting ready to roll 5:45 PST, bout 15 minutes.

Will watch. I am hoping for negligible PS3 coverage (let's not dwell on the previous gen, please), vastly reduced Vita coverage (it bombed -- deal with it), and PS4 exclusives (that's mainly why I bought your console). Uncharted 4 and "Project Beast" are the knowns that I'm tuning in for, but I also want to see some unknowns too.

Wow on PS4 you can invite your friends to play Far Cry 4 with you and they don't have to have the game to play.

Playstation TV for $99. I am in.
Pretty lousy E3 show overall, but this one is a big deal for me.

Valve announced something identical the other day for Steam. Pretty nice, especially if you want to game on an older machine or TV. Still like the idea.

It took forever on PS4 as well. I was disappointed to be honest. Graphics look great but the previous ufc games had a more natural feel in gameplay.

Shocking, EA makes a game that is pretty but has worse gameplay than the previous year. unheard of.

I won every time but when he took me down and was in full mount, I reversed it (on accident) with no effort at all. The number of punches and kicks you throw in games like this is always unrealistic, but to go from a dominant position to the bottom with the greatest of ease was disappointing. On the old series, if someone had you on the ground you had to work to get out of it (which may not be fun but was definitely more authentic).

Its obvious you enjoy Titanfall, and I haven't played it so I don't want to try to tarnish your love of this game. I was basing my reasoning on the reception of the thousands of gamers on Reddit who were all chiming in that the game was pretty much cool for the first week and sitting on the shelf since then. The general feeling to that game was like that. Most people had the same reactions to PS4 games such as Infamous as well.
If you want to throw in Dead Rising and Ryse as exclusives that are good than PS4 had Killzone and Knack which were equally as appreciated as those titles.
IMO if you have to go with one console you should choose the one with the types of games you most like. If you are a Halo/gears of War person than Xbox is your system, if you like Uncharted/Last of Us/Big Little Planet/ The Show, than PS4 is for you.

That Witcher 3 demo looked pretty sick.
Also, wtf are we going to get Half Life 3? I think it'd sell a billion copies. What is Gabe waiting for?

This is me on 95% of games I play. Btw- Don't tell xbox or sony but the whole free trial/demo thing has saved me (and cost them) thousands of dollars over the years.
I've been playing games long enough to figure out what will annoy me about a game in about 5 minutes.

My guess is never. So much hype for HL2 and the story started OK and then you had to wait....and wait.....and wait....and wait for the DLC to complete the story. Total garbage and HL lost a lot of shine in the process.
It's a shame because the original HL was one of my favorite games.

haha, but the thing is the demo part of gaming has been non existent since the good ol days of Xbox Magazine Demo Discs. Only sport games seem to have their demo's up before releasing these days.
I love all the good action games, but I could seriously care less about all the cinematics in the games. Far Cry 3 was amazing outside of constantly sitting through 10 minute videos.

Not entirely true. That's one very positive thing I have to say about the Xbox 360. During most of its run, they managed to make demos of the major (and some not-so-major) releases available for download. Unfortunately, they've been fewer in the last year or two, yet Xbox Live Arcade titles still have required demos.
Here's a link showing demos available sorted by recent release date: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Games/GameDemos?SortBy=ReleaseDate
I only see 3 demos available for the PS3 when I do a search. Forgive me if that's incorrect, as I don't have a PS3/PS4 to verify and have to go by Sony's site: link
edit: I see more listed for PS4.

Playstation Now prices are nuts...here's hoping they make them at least reasonable once it comes out of beta.

It's DOA at those prices. Why would anybody pay more to rent a game than it costs to buy it outright?

This is really disappointing. $10/month would be my limit and it would have to include some fantastic games at that price. I'd more likely buy it at around $7/month.

That is f'n stupid. There goes my support for Playstation Now. I hope these aren't final.

Enjoying Watch Dogs. The driving and combat are quite GTA like, but the hacking part of things adds an interesting element to the police pursuits etc. Its fun to escape by pulling up a drawbridge and jumping over or throwing up road spikes or blowing up steam pipes behind you.
