GameZone's Matt Liebl writes, "So who won the first round of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One reveal? If you're judging by social media buzz and response, it would have to go to Sony and the PS4. Fizziology, who last week provided us with a social media breakdown of hype leading up to the new Xbox reveal, has followed up with us, revealing that this week's Xbox One reveal "didn't quite live up to gamers' expectations.""
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
PS4 is still all about games first.
The new Xbox One seems to focus on the complete opposite, making gaming more expensive, adding DRM, blocking 2nd hand games or borrowed/give-away games. Not to mention the focus on TV TV TV TV TV TV TV, and shoving Kinect up everyone's nose, and spying on you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In short: PS4 is about FUN (games!), Xbox One will be about GREED.
Next-gen just seems to be a continuation of this one. The Xbox will continue to become an entertainment hub and get the CoD audience while the PS4 will focus on ALL games.
Ya think?
It only took me about half an hour to completely abandon Microsoft yesterday.
If Sony pulls the same crap with used games at E3, i'll be abandoning them too.
