Here is a nice round up including information brought to light after E3: http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/29430-xbox-one-and-the-ps4-the-same-thing/

Here is my, all be not as good as Drizzy_Dans, opinion on the next gen debacle - http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/29430-xbox-one-and-the-ps4-the-same-thing/

Yea but almost the EXACT same base plot. And the game-play doesn't look all that impressive, kind of like borderlands with the RPG stuff. If thy had released like 3 years ago this might of been a Jesus level game but as it stands the only interesting thing is how the multiplayer works. And there really hasn't been that much info on that subject.

You know to be honest Destiny doesn't look that great. Now wait don't stab me. A conglomerate of aliens come from out of space and start wiping out humans, who have colonies through out the universe. Humans get beaten back by said hostile aliens. Ancient aliens with prior knowledge of humans and have already chosen humans as favorites are friendly and give humans technology. Sounds very similar to something *cough* Halo *cough*. The jump in and out multiplayer does sound interesting though.

Upon further reflection on the information brought to light at E3 I have to say both the Xbox One and the PS4 are about the same. Specs for both systems are essentially the same. The PS4 is slightly better but not substantially and developers aren't going to bother taking advantage of the slightly increased 'power' of the PS4 anyway, not cross-platform games at least. Both systems aren't particularly impressive to look at: Remember when the original Xbox came out? That thing was a behemoth but it was great, so stop complaining about how they both look internet. The PS4 controller has a touch screen but how much would that cost? And why would you need it really? For better or worse the Xbox One also comes with the Kinect whilst the PS4 you have to pay extra for the PS Eye. Either way you have to pay extra, but pricing is later. Software limitations wise the PS4 wins hands-down I have to admit. They have given straight yes/no answers: " ‘yes’ - the PS4 would be free of limitations on used games, that ‘no’ - there would be no need for online connections, and, a bonus, that ‘yes’ - the console would even be region-free (the Xbox One is not)." -independent.co.uk Whilst Xbox One has given sort of answers. ‘Kind of’ - the One would have limitations on used games, confusing ones that are difficult to understand. That ‘some times’ - there would be a need for online connections, also confusing, right now the consensus is every 24 hours for some reason. That ‘no' - the console wouldn't even be region-free (only straight answer) But actual software features wise I think the One wins. Sure you can watch tv on your tv but why complain if the One offers you the ability to watch tv through it with added features? You can instantly switch between tasks and I hear you ask "Why would I need such a thing?" Well it appears both the PS4 and the One are on a vendetta against loading screens: Now the Ones ability seems better, I hate waiting for a match to start and it is a novel way of distraction away from loading screens, a hell of a lot better then watching a little circle spinning around or watching the words 'Looking for players' for 5 minutes. Games wise (as in exclusives) same ol' same ol'. Nothing really impressive. Halo 5 but eh. Titanfall (One) looks pretty ok. The Order (PS4) looks pretty ok as well though. Pricing. Once again the PS4 wins over the One. $399 in the US and £349 in the UK and $549 in AU are the prices for the PS4. $499 in the US and £429 and $599 in AU are the prices for the Xbox One. As stated above you get the Kinect (even if you don't want it) with the One but have to pay extra for the PS Eye thingy so take that in to account and still PS4 wins. I can see both consoles selling rather slowly this year. They are probably going to have some sort of price drop (like the PS3 when it got released. Didn't sell, to high a price). This is just an extra thing but what de hell is with the price inflation in AU. An extra >$100. Shipping to AU and the Us would cost about the same. Sure the AU tax would be slightly higher but take that into account and it should only be a price rise of say $30. And the Au is equal to the US at the moment. I is bitter. The only real difference between the PS4 and the One has been marketing. 'Relevant applications and uses to our gamers' - PS4 conference (round about what the guy said) The PS4 has come out of the gated screaming to the heavens and all that will listen that the PS4 is designed for the gamers by the game developers (unlike the PS3 which screwed over indie devs, smell damage control). They claim to have gone to devs and asked what they would like and apparently designed the PS4 with that in mind (yet it end up essentially the same as the One). Those links up there show PS4 marketing it specs, using words like '1.84 Teraflops' and 'eight x86-64 core' to confuse most people into believing that the PS4 has alien tech and witchcraft inside it. But how much praise has actually been given to the PS4? It has mostly been the One sucks therefore PS4 better. 'Introducing the all-in-one entertainment system.' -Xbox One conference (similar to) The Xbox One has been market as 'the Xbox experience'. They don't just want you gaming on the One, they want you using the One for all entertainment needs. Movies, tv, internet activity, you name it the One is trying to deliver. They have also targeted mass public appeal over the PS4 'for gamers' approach. And really who can blame the One for its motives? It is initiative and the 360 got a lot more public appeal when they updated the home screen and added apps. The One is just taking it a step further before Sony or Nintendo has the chance to. The One has been criticized for being ambiguous but if successful the One will have set a new precedent for home gaming and entertainment. Also about all the blow-back the One has received it has just become the new thing to ***** about the One. The internet goes through crazes and this is just the current one. The first conference was a disaster gamers wise but before the event Microsoft sent out press releases stating the event was going to be concentrated on family appeal and the multimedia capabilities. They were saving the gaming for E3, which was a smart move that people took out of context. But you notice how now one has praised the PS4 for being epic, they have just insulted the One for being not good. Now after all that I hope I swayed the opinions of the seven of you that actually took the time to read through that. I think the conclusion is that everyone should hold of on buying the new consoles and voice complaints. The limitations imposed by Microsoft on the One (which are the main problem in regards to the One) can be easily reverted with patches if enough people voice their concerns. The prices of both will be reduced if enough people voice complaints on the price. I think I will end this with a quote, “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” ― Dr.Seuss

Well in fairness the grunt did try to stop the huragok once it realized what was about to go down. "NOVA beats grunt, NOVA beats Covvy fleet, NOVA beats planet and its' moon, NOVA BEATS EVERYTHING. Oh, man! I could do this all day!"

"Curiosity never killed anyone" *Thinks of huragok and a certain NOVA bomb* Right, what ever you say.

NICE, SotP Shout out. Thanks Friendo.

Nice wrap up. If you could feature SotP in the next wrap up that would BE OVER 9000 epicness. Just a suggestion though.

You should use UTC/Zulu time when posting times. Or at least the time zone difference (hong kong is like +8 isn't it). Anywho count me out, I just wanted to post about more effective time posting. -Posted at 1438 UTC 13/05/2013 (dd/mm/year)

named Arbiters mother. Snap Arby...

PC. PC games can be modded and some times the mods are even better then the actual game. Take Sins of a Solar Empire. The only reason I bought it was because of the mod Sins of the Prophets and SotP kicks the pants of SoaSE. SotP mixes my love of Halo with my love of watching space ships explode.

The dirty shiznu, Bieber, but

shiznu, the bad dirty shiznu.

Nah man, nah. Goku beats the pants of the half breed Trunks. Goku is 100% all saiyan badassery.

Go drink some vodka if you are having problems. Have some vodka casserole. That is what I would do if I were russian and Vodka wasn't so expensive (God damn it Australia), I'll be your friendo, friendo. Interesting... in a good way ??? Do what??? Be awesome??? Impossibru to beat me. Ummm... nice to know. The time zone thing I mean. Don't... don't even.... Goku FTW. Trunk *pfft*. He ends up a CEO and Goku ends up (always was) a total badass, sure as a kid, but a total badass all the same.

What about Dragonball? Where is the love of just plain ol' Dragonball? Before all this super saiyan hoo haa where men were men and child saiyans turned into 400 foot monkeys on the full moon, when the times where simpiler. Ahhhh that Roshi character and all his constant poonhoundery. They just DO NOT make cartoons like Dragonball anymore.

Goku is the bestest, recently got the ENTIRE dragonball collection... Dragon ball, Z, GT, every movie, I am on episode 12 of GT after completely finishing both Dragon ball and Z. Then onto the movies. Takes me back to my childhood *sheds a small man tear (the tear is small not the man, just to clarify)*

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is awesome, lots of funny little things add up to a great stand-alone game. If you haven't already go buy it and I highly recommend Far Cry 3 as well. I laughed at almost every item/animal/weapon description in the menu. Blood Dragon was great but I'd like some DLC for the actual Far Cry 3 story though, like the rise of Vaas or something like that.

G'day. Seems to be the stock introductory line for those of who reside in the land up above (screw you mediocrity). I'm Khevakins and I don't do very much at all. Except play Halo all day everyday and playtest for the awesome Halo based mod Sins of the Prophets. In case your confused about my nationality here's some quotes: Throw another PRAWN on the Barby. I don't know any Australian who says shrimp. Dingo ate my baby. Or so I would have you believe but maybe it didn't. (true story, maybe. http://en.wikipedia....ria_Chamberlain) Call that a knife, this is a bigger knife. Scary ain't it. That is all.
