<------- Kingdom Hearts 3!!

As for exclusives, it's definitely Horizon.

@raptor That would be awesome. I would pay a little extra, $50-100 extra, for a PS system that can play all PS games, but that's just me. Same for Xbox. To me, all three current consoles should be able to play/emulate each of their disc based predecessor's games. All it takes is a little work and if Sony was really "for the players" they would recognize that some of us want it and make it happen.

<==== KH3!!! Not exclusive, but still!
As for exclusives, Horizon and maybe UC4, if I make it through the first three. Not totally convinced the Last Guardian will be out next year, nor do I understand the hype for it, but that's just me. I've decided to still wait for KH3 to come out before making the plunge, unless Sony wants to add BC. Come on Sony, everybody's doing it!

@Mega-Gazz I agree. I'm having problems just with a PS2, PS3, and Wii U. Xbox One and PS4 wouldn't fit at present, but replacing PS3 with a BC PS4 would be grand. That and I want to rest the PS2, but I don't want to have to rebuy my games on PS3 because it won't play PS2 games.

@SeahorseLegs Not really. That's like the newest Ipod not being able to play your old Ipod's music because Apple wants you to stream your old music with a subscription...

I loved both Microsoft and Sony conferences and I will get both consoles eventually. However, that backwards compatibility is what is making me want a One first. I got a Wii U first because of that. Heck, if Nintendo's NX plays Wii U (and possibly 3DS games) and launches before Kingdom Hearts 3, I might get one of those before getting a PS4. Point is that BC is an important factor for me.

@get2sammyb I know, it was almost unanimously decided that it was bad. I was prepared for disappointment, from their earlier statements that Zelda wouldn't be there and they were focussing on games coming out rather than in development, but I didn't expect it to be THAT bad... Sony and Microsoft shone bright, though. And I got more footage of Kingdom Hearts 3, so I am still pretty happy. I think I want to get both an XB1 and PS4 now. Truth be told, Microsoft won me over with their backwards compatibility and I've wanted to get into Halo and Gears of War for a while now, but Horizon alone is making me want a PS4. It and Xenoblade Chronicles X are right up my alley. I may even get one before KH3 comes out. I folded on the Wii U with MK8, told myself I would wait for X... I regret nothing!

@get2sammyb We understand, but it's totally cool if you wanna give Nintendo the D- they earned, though. XD It would have been better if they added Devil's Third, Fatal Frame, and Zelda in the Digital Event. It would have at least earned C with those in there...

Looks like it could still go on the PS3. Looks good, though. Seems like almost every company had some bombs the drop this year. Nintendo chose the wrong year to play it safe.

@freaksloan Basically the same for me, minus a Vita as well. At this point, I'm not getting another Sony console without Kingdom Hearts on it, and it looks like XB1 may take me for 3 if Sony doesn't reciprocate some backwards compatibility. I really want to get into Uncharted, but I spent too much break time playing Monster Hunter... I'll get there eventually.

Was a pretty good show. Too bad people are trying to give Sony props for doing the exact same crap with The Last Guardian that Square Enix did with Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. I now have a PS3 I don't even want because Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't going on it, just like some people got a PS3 for The Last Guardian. To make matters worse, Microsoft beat Sony to the punch with Backwards Compatibility. As far as I am concerned, Microsoft may not have beaten Sony, but Sony did not mop the floor with Microsoft by any means.
Now we wait for Nintendo and Square Enix to wrap up the big announcements. Although, I have a feeling that people are going to be a little disappointed today, but if anyone is good at surprises, it's Nintendo. I want a Dream Drop Distance port from SE, I can't play the game where others can see it otherwise. They don't even have an excuse about second screens because the Wii U and PS3/4-Vita connectivity exists, and the game didn't even require two screens.
As for Nintendo, Metroid, F-Zero, Zelda, Fatal Frame, Xenoblade, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Shin Megami Tensei, Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, etc. If you can think it, they better have it on Wii U because, at present, I can't realistically see them besting anyone's conference this year. We are at least bound to see something good though, so I will be cautiously optimistic.

@Gamestoper I've always been a fan of both, but of Sony mainly for Kingdom Hearts. I just didn't like the direction any of the companies went in the 7th generation with their home consoles, I loved the handheld consoles, though.

@Boerewors I'd have never heard of a personal cinema headset if not for you. That's not a good sign for morpheus.

I wonder if Sony and Nintendo are going to battle it out with a hybrid handheld/home console in the 9th generation.

If they changed it into a FPS, I won't even bother.

...no.

"You see, XenoVerse certainly isn't your standard fighting game. It's far more Dragon Ball Online than it is Budokai 3, and as such, if you were looking forward to a somewhat traditional brawler, you'll be severely disappointed."

Well, that counts me out. I was REALLY hoping for it to be more like Budokai 2 and 3...

I wish their ego stroking for graphical prowess would cease already. I don't really care about how realistic the characters look if the gameplay is bland.

@PoisonDwarf ...would you say it's a "Life is Strange" reason?

Knowing that it isn't Kingdom Hearts 3 makes me care so much less.

@Baron_Von_Aaron Can't take out the Xeno-, I'd go with XenogearZ!

I actually forgot this was a thing until this article... I don't think wasting resources on it is a good idea.

“pretty sure that no one will guess this one”... Wii U game? XD

Seriously though, I just want it to be ME Trilogy. That and the KH collections are what I want on 8th generation consoles to actually get a second one.

So... 2018 or later for KH3?

I'm not going to vote on as I don't have one yet, but I think it has had the best first year of any console this generation. I won't be getting one until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, though. The Wii U and 3DS are just fine for me right now.

FPS means I won't get it. Simple as that. For me, the FPS horse has been beaten to death by CoD and Battlefront, so I was hoping against hope that the new Battlefront would stay as a TPS.

I actually do want to see an Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan. I might actually want to play another AC game if they did. Also, one based on Persia or a new Prince of Persia would be nice... and an AC set in Egypt... the only areas they don't want to do are the only ones that I would consider getting if they made them.

Is there to be a review for the Korra game soon?

@sinalefa That's pretty much my situation at the moment. I am holding off on other systems until Kingdom Hearts 3 actually has a release date announcement before falling for a new system. Mario Kart actually tipped the scales for both Wii U and 3DS for me.

Cool for those who want it. I am still surprised Nintendo still doesn't have their white deluxe bundle outside of Japan.

Unreal engine for a game with unreal progress.

Can PS Move controllers be used like Wii Remotes are on Mario Kart?

@Zup The command deck is actually pretty useful. I liked it more than having the magic gauge from KH2. They said the battle system was to be based off of KH3D, using flowmotion at least, so they might implement the command deck. I don't mind either way, as long as it isn't based off of that garbage from Chain of Memories. 😛

...well that makes me sadder... If XV is only half finished, I've gotta wait 1-2 years for a trailer of KH3, 3-4 for a gameplay trailer of KH3, and 5+ for a release... So, PS5, XB TOO, and Wii 3 (doubtful) confirmed? 😉

I am holding out on a Vita until something super awesome comes out (hoping for a KH game) and waiting to get a PS4 until KH3 comes out. Of course, if either gets the KH hd collections, I will get it for that.

I would have gotten this game had it been in third-person... so yeah, I would play it as a TPS.

Knowing that KH3 is being focused on makes me want FFXV a little more. I would say Japan is back in the game, but games like Fatal Frame and Yakuza make me wish the Japanese would stop deciding we don't like games before we get to even play them. TGS looks to be quite successful, although E3 and Gamescom stole the show in terms of new reveals.

Hopefully it will come out soon so they can focus on Kingdom Hearts 3. KH3 is all I want from SE at the moment.

@Punished_Boss Playstation Insurance sound fun! XD
Seriously though, what else would they cut besides TV and Smartphones? I was thinking that they should spin-off Playstation and their other profitable divisions into seperate entities (so they won't be held back by Sony's dead limbs) and do a sink or swim aprroach on the rest of their divisions.

I think this formula could go well with a Kingdom Hearts theme, too. Slicing through waves of Heartless, Nobodies, Dream Eaters, and even some Unversed. Now I am making myself sad... it should have been Kingdom Hearts instead of Dragon Quest, imo...

Based on the screenshots, all I see are lighting improvements and a few texture improvements (like hair). I wonder if it will sell well, since GTAV has already been out for a year on PS360.

How come there's no push rewind equivalent on Nintendo Life? Also, @rjejr and @get2sammyb, do you think that Microsoft would pull Minecraft from PS hardware if/when they buys Mojang?

I don't really want this game based on the sole reason that it is a FPS, because I dislike FPS. That said, I dont think any of these reviews matter. If you like and want the game, get it. The opinions from rwriters on sites that praise yearly sports, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty games should NEVER be considered valid.

@junguler That's exactly what I feel. I just avoid FPS, as they no longer interest me. TPS have always been my thing, which is why Mass Effect and Star Wars Battlefront were so awesome to me.

Also, the thing that annoys me the most about this game is that an uninformed person might think it is a TPS from the commercials I saw (the US ones, anyway). The only other FPS that did that to me before was Deus Ex, which I ended up getting because I thought it was a TPS.

@get2sammyb I think he means the reviews trickling out after the game releases... and the fact that many people are underwhelmed, yet a 8-10/10 storm is brewing.

Only game appealing to me is Revelations 2. SE needs to get on that KH3, it shouldn't take them 9 years for just two teaser trailers.

@DualWielding You don't want an interactive grope simulator? XD
With the PS4's hardware, I shudder to think what types of games developers will consider, especially Japanese developers.

Sony, NIntendo, Microsoft, EA, Activision, etc. do enough already when it comes to stroking their egos, can we please not do it as well?

@kupo I would let Sony slide IF PS Now wasn't such an awful and greedy "solution" for BC. If they really wanted to include BC in some way, streaming PS3 games on PS Now would be free.

@ztpayne7 Never underestimate the stupidity and greed of third-party companies. Also, never underestimate the influence Microsoft has in this industry with money. Square Enix is as susceptible to money as any other third party company, such as EA, Ubisoft, and Capcom who all readily accept bribes for exclusivity. I don't like it at all, but Square Enix has shown that they are just as greedy as any other company out there.
