So Keits, what would you hate more at next year's UFGT: Fanatiq, or the Xbox One?

15 exclusives over 12 months is hardly a documented fact. Games get delayed or cancelled, exclusives end up being only timed and exclusivity does not mean quality products. I still remember Sony touting their exclusives for PS3 and we got shit like Lair, Haze, Genji 2 and Heavenly Sword.
Throwing numbers is inconsequential without backing them up with actual game footage...which was sorely lacking at the presentation.

I did mention the TV controls, though I did not mention that you need a separate device to do the TV-control thing. Which is wild for them, because like a third of the event was TV control stuff. Why advertise that so much when the box can't even do it?
I have 0 confidence in the 15 exclusives / 8 new IPs claim until I see the products. Half of those could be new Kinect franchises, and with the state of Microsoft, I bet they will be (they're pushing the device hard). New IPs also don't mean anything to me. One of the most fresh and fun experiences I've had this generation is Kid Icarus: Uprising, an "old IP". It's all about what you do with the IP, not how old or new it is.
Those have 3 OS built-in? Or what? I really don't get it, I still use XP (best OS).
I bought my PS3 for 5 games:
1) Demon's Souls
2) Valkyria Chronicles
3) Marvel vs. Capcom 3
4) The Last Guardian
5) Final Fantasy XIII Versus
Only 60% of those promised games were actually released! So yeah, I tread lightly until I see actual gameplay these days.
It should be a picture of a Wii U that has an "Only For Enzo" Xbox-style box stamp on it. ;-)

Someone make a HE HAS FUCKING RETURNED avatar for enzo but make it of J Allard.
Oh man ROFL
What would you consider a fact until it's all said and done? They said they've been investing more in games than ever before, we already know most of them are real (Rare's new IP, Black Tusk making the "next Halo"). I think some might be technically timed exclusives, but those are still a big deal early on in the gen (just look at this past gen for example).
It is a bold claim, but it's better than "we're partnering with other studios" and leaving it at that. More concrete than you'll ever get elsewhere.
I'm actually sorta surprised we didn't see a Kinect game demo'd at all. Where was Ryse? I thought that would be a shoe in, or Forza Vista.

And US only for most of it.
Especially when 14 of those might be prefixed with "kinect"

I disagree, actually. The more people who know exactly what an ass he really is, the better off/more informed everyone is. So long as you're not harping on the guy or rehashing stuff you've already told us (and you're not) you're doing it right: The idea that starving a troll actually works is complete bullshit. It's never worked in the history of the internet. What works is shaming/discrediting/marginalizing. That's 100x more effective than "ignoring" them.
You don't starve a cockroach. You turn the lights on and feed it poison.

That's the thing, why would any tournament short of being sponsored by MS bother with the xb1?
Because no one keeps count of these numbers except diehard fanboys. Do you remember how many exclusive titles Sony promised for PS3 and how off the mark they ended up being?
A lot of stuff like this needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Its PR and they will say anything to hook people. I mean so what of they are a few exclusives off by next year... who is keeping count and who is going to hang Microsoft for it?
Edit: That avatar is BRILLIANT!

I agree. When it comes to potential shadiness, you want to turn on the floodlights.
MrWizard and integrity aren't exactly synonyms.
The problem with this is the players will still keep doing it because lots of them are friends with Fanatiq and are trying their hardest to get the maximum support they can for whatever events/get AGE sponship, etc. TOs are desperate to get every resource or player they can to make their event more successful. Not that I think anybody is checking for Fanatiq in 2013.

Aw too bad the text has to be small. Good otherwise.
I don't know. I think it'd be a terrible idea to go with xb1 too. I'm just offering a possible idea because I know the immediate reaction would be to gather all of the xb1s at the closest Ethernet port, lol.
Again, I think this is just a poor example. DmC is part of a different sort of genre that favors being played with a controller in the living room. Not only that, but the game didn't meet sales expectations in any market or platform. Rather, show me the numbers Capcom has sold on SSIV and SFxT so far instead.
Where are you did you find that 200k number anyways? I can't find a source for it.
Sure, I can agree with this. At least, with how the PC market is now anyways.
However, I absolutely do not agree with that last sentence of yours. Not at all. The overarching narrative being presented by indie developers themselves for the last few years is, "PC is the way to go," both in and out of news articles. Hell, even Phil Fish, who was staunchly against porting his game to PC, admitted that he made more money on the Steam release than the XBLA release of Fez.
The only thing I can see smaller publishers not wanting to deal with is Steam Greenlight and for good reasons. This should not be a problem for the larger fighting game developers at all though.
What's more, developers have testified over and over again that steam sales have only had positive effects for the revenue made from one of their games make as it extends the "shelf life" of the game and provides a longer stretch of time to make money off a single game after the initial big release date sales.
And arcades are only really a thing in the far east at this point. I don't buy using them as an excuse for the western market.
Well, I simply disagree. I suppose all I can say at this point is that we'll have to see how it turns out for those who do decide to support the PC more actively. If I'm wrong then I'll eat my crow, but I want them to at least try for pete's sake.
Sorry, I don't get the joke, some fill me in pls?

I think it's really sketchy to try and compare PC sales with games that aren't released on the same day as their console versions. As for price I think it's pretty silly to argue over it when we don't know the cost of the next generations machines or the cost of a PC that could run a next generation fighter. I think the only real barrier is the lack of releases which hopefully will change in the next generation due to lower install bases of consoles.

tournament standard is now the tablet.
VxG game is main event. tap to do unblockables, shake to do ultras.

As Draconian as possible, stay free Microsoft!
They're not going to sell any of these in 3rd world countries or other places without reliable Internet.
PS4/Wii U here I come.
Sorry it's 300k.
Yeah, for indies that are not also developing for 360/PS3 as their core platforms, let alone for more than one platform, which a different case and budget bracket entirely. Throwing a PC port in there is expensive and intensive on the development period too, and this is always the case. Expensive even for small publishers, and even more expensive to do it right and make it scalable.
For indies, PC is heaven. No expensive dev kit to buy, no nothing. That's not one of the places I thought it wasn't a great platform for.
LOL, ok. So...he came back to Microsoft?
He was shipped off to Zune(lol) did some phone thing and then retired.
Xbox became shit after he was gone, imagine that.
I REMEMBER THE TRIBE
He was part of the highlight reel at the start of the conference alongside people like Kojima, Bill Gates, etc.
Go to YouTube and search for him, he embodies a lot of what MS was trying to do to look "cool" at the time. Except he was actually cool.
And, strangely enough, there was a rumored sex/orgy group scandal supposedly involving various Microsoft employees. It was implied in the rumors that he may have been "encouraged" to retire early after that.
That's really interesting. I'm not too surprised, but it's interesting that not a single one of their titles has broken 300k yet (according to Sven). I would have guessed SSIV if someone had asked me. Although, he never does say outright whether or not Capcom is disappointed by the sales. Hmmm
Not that anyone cares considering what's gone on today, but sounds like MS is hinting at Killer Instinct at E3.
Don't care much for KI personally.

Hey, it doesn't look so bad now.
:-D
That's too good!
Zune HD was great, and the bigger Zune models were pretty good too.
MS just didn't know how to market the thing. HEY LETS MAKE IT BROWN, KIDS LIKE BROWN ELECTRONICS RIGHT?
Right product at the wrong time. Well, wrong product in some facets.

Even so, what is the game's actual appeal? It was a big deal back in the day because it was flashy. The graphics were pretty substantial for its time. The character designs were not generally interesting. It was like Darkstalkers without character design talent. The gameplay was always mediocre.Killer Instinct? Even that game can't make me change view on the console
Who, outside of nostalgia-filled adults, would buy a Killer Instinct game? I wouldn't even bother, and I owned both games.
And does Rare even have the talent to make a good fighting game these days? That's not something you can take a decade-long hiatus from and go back to.

Violence. It was pretty cool at the time (when I was like 12), but yeah it was a pretty crap game. I'd say it'll still sell ok, but just in the mortal kombat kind of way.
Which doesn't mean that they couldn't make a great fighting game of course, it'd just have to be different.
I think its main issue was timing. The Zune HD was incredible but at that time people wanted iphones and tablets
