Next Generation Consoles

[Sam]

Pre-ordered mine last night, Xbox One & Limited Edition Forza from Game, GTA V from Tesco.

Shame GTA isn't going to be on X1 until next year!

 

[Sam]

Come off it. Yeah Forza is a good sim for consoles, but one could equally ask why would anyone from a car forum not play PC sims. Forza isn't an industry-spec F1 simulator.

I'm not a fan of PC games. Console gaming is way better IMO. GTA won't even be available on PC until next year will it?

Please can we not turn this thread into a console vs. PC argument.

I'm chuffed with getting FIFA, I don't really play it because I'm crap at it but if it's free then then I'm not complaining.

Not sure if this has already been posted but the PS4 release looks to be 29th November. I'll be sticking with the xbox though.

Any word on Xbox release date yet?

E-mail from Game just now -

We know you have preordered a PlayStation 4 and we wanted to let you know about some exciting new announcements!

Last night at GamesCom, Sony took to the stage to detail out updates on the PlayStation console family. They have confirmed that the European release date of the PlayStation 4 console is November 29th 2013! At this stage we don't know how much stock of the PS4 console will be available at launch, but as a deposit customer you are in the priority queue.

Any word on Xbox release date yet?

word on the street is possibly either the 29th oct or 5th november as that when a couple of the games have been slated for release, the november one being COD.

i hope its not november 5th as I'm in NY and wouldn't be able to go collect it at midnight from Game, which I'm actually looking forward to doing.

Still can't decide what games to get, I've pre-ordered watchdogs, but might also get COD and forza. But then what games do i get with the PS4?

decisions decisions.

Rather the 29th than the 5th, in UAE for the F1 and don't return till late on the 5th, lol.

My point was that if one were really hung up on purist simulation, they would be using PC racing sims. Nothing to do with PC vs. console gaming on the whole.

Also what does Forza have to do with GTA?

 

[Harbinger]

Killer Instinct???????? as long as they have Cinder from the Snes game in there that's me sold on Xbox.

 

[Ging2013]

Can't wait for forza 5, drifting all the way. Hope the game-engine is the same or better and improve the sound of the cars.

​And its already £80 cheaper than the Xbox isn't it?

 

[Scutch]

Pre-ordered the XBOne Day One with the free Fifa etc. from Shopto.

Bolded.

 

[AK]

Bolded.

​You missed Zoo Tycoon.

 

[Scutch]

​You missed Zoo Tycoon.

It was either that or Peggle 2 but because I couldn't decide on one or the other I f*cked them both off. I'll no doubt live to regret that.

 

[jam.]

Is that really called #driveclub?

​cringe.

whoooooa! Hold up! Peggle 2! I think I want that more than GTA V.

 

[dk]

Bolded.

you're not interested in COD?

 

[Scutch]

you're not interested in COD?

Not in the slightest.

BF > COD for me.

 

[Reev]

​cringe.

Exactly what I was about to post.

​Hashtagdriveclub. Ugh.

Should have italic'd (is that a WORD?!) them.

 

[dk]

Exactly what I was about to post.

​Hashtagdriveclub. Ugh.

its being touted as the social media game, so choosing a social media name is an obvious choice, this is the new generation.

​People even use hashtag in the everyday speak these days!

 

[jam.]

​People even use hashtag in the everyday speak these days!

The same people who say LOL by any chance? Because those people are utter retards.

 

[Ging2013]

When you buy xbox one you get FIFA 14 free download (not really my type of game but hay ho)

 

[Munson]

Console Wars are underway.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Drive Club looks pants anyway. I was looking at the visuals on the first expo and thought wow. Then saw the gameplay and all expectations went out the window...

 

[Brand86]

I think I'm going to go for Xbox One this gen - as had the 2 previous consoles and loved them. I don't really care about the whole 'MS wants to make money off consumers' thing as it's a business and Sony obviously does as well. I just care about the games, online experience and also much prefer the MS controller pad.

Titanfall, Forza 5 and Project Spark also look like great exclusives and enough to get my business I think.

 

[Munson]

I've only just realised how massive and ugly the Xbox 3 is!

 

[Brand86]

Roy - you hate anything that isn't a million pound super gaming PC though!

 

[Luigi172]

where is the best place to pre-order the Xbox one?

 

[Munson]

Roy - you hate anything that isn't a million pound super gaming PC though!

Is that why I have an Xbox 360 and PS3 and will be buying a PS4?
