@KelticDevil That's cool.

@KelticDevil Yeah! About these great people, I think that these guys should make a multiplatform website next time. By the way I'm on Twitter too for those who want to stay in touch... @Tucker_Music

I am an unbiased person with nothing against Nintendo (I have been a Nintendo fan all my life) nor Sony (I like my PS4 since I got it in 2014) nor Microsoft (I like my Xbox One very much since I recently got one), but let's tell some truth about this group's websites. I am not the only one who thinks PureXbox is/was a website without click-baits, without 40 pointless and childish entries per day like the others (more PushSquare than Nintendo Life, actually). I don't care about fanboys' wars as I don't have a 5 years-old mind inside my adult body and I don't enjoy fanboyism's stenches when I just want to read news and articles about video games. Sorry for being politically incorrect and I know you won't support my opinion but why in earth should I be hypocritical now?

@PureXbox I am a journalist with a degree and I can say that, objectively, the best website of the three is without a doubt PureXbox. I have friends on Nintendo Life and PushSquare but that's a different part of the story. Best journalism: PureXbox. The community here is also incredible, the best I've met! Not always the most successful are the best, never forget that. There are only two kinds of video games websites that are successful nowadays: gutter press websites and Eurogamer. But, hey, I hope you can change that someday!

@DRL You are one of the best reviewers I have followed in all my life and a really nice guy.

@SuperKMx You are a really good website editor and an honest and nice person. Congratulations for your principles.

EA? I'd love to see Dead Space 2 and 3 then, unless they're planning to remaster the trilogy.

@SuperKMx I'll try both demos (Motorsport 6 and Horizon 2) and let you know.

@Tasuki Yeah probably both answers are right: Mattrick and faulty Xbox One launch, which are connected somehow. Still, Wii U sales have been worse than Xbox One with less than 13 millions and Nintendo is not being generous at all but rather stingy. Sony is doing good but I want more PS2 classics.

There's also a Forza Motorsport 6 demo! LOL why did I write "Motorstorm" earlier?

All the info here:

The 2TB model even includes the stand!

@SuperKMx I didn't realised. I downloaded Doom and Dead Rising 3 demos but they both are too violent (or should I say gore?) to my personal taste, even though I am a big Resident Evil fan... I did not see Forza Horizon 2 demo on the store but I'll download it later today. I have Need for Speed Most Wanted on Wii U but I don't like it very much.

@Cyberbotv2 Glad that you remember me! I'm still on Nintendo Life and also on PushSquare (I bought a PS4 in 2014). I also bought an Xbox One (Elite) recently, thus becoming a multigamer this generation (for the first time). I agree with you about Xbox One, I feel that the company that has given me the most for my money this generation is Microsoft with the best lineup, deals and controller.

@SuperKMx OK.

4K BD player confirmed by Phil Spencer. Sweet deal.

I would like some Forza Motorstorm and Horizon demos to try them first.

The "1" that they are offering for free is the old one or the remake/remaster?

EDIT: After being a Nintendo fan all my life, now I realise that Microsoft is so generous compared to Nintendo...

@EternalDragonX "ruly sad to see such a great dev back in the 90's go to crap and ruin their franchises".

That sentence makes me think of Nintendo, to be honest.

@shonenjump86 @Gamer83 A bit unfair that it's only released for PS4 Plus members, isn't it?

I would love if they left the subtitle Biohazard (the Japanese title) from now on, it sounds great! The logo with Roman numerals is awesome, too. Wow I'm so hyped about this and I'm almost never hyped these days.

@SuperKMx Wow then it's an even better deal as 4K players are very expensive! Even without the 4K player, if this model had been released earlier then Xbox One would have been much more popular, I think.

@KelticDevil Yeah, this model is totally targeted at people on the fence.

I haven't said anything negative about the new model because my only complaint is about the design, but if you're posting an entry about the design, then I feel I can complain about it a little bit. The size, the fact that it includes the power brick and that you can place the console both horizontally or vertically are all really welcome features (PS4 does not include the stand either). Seriously, Wii U and Xbox One's power bricks are huge! I know some people reluctant to buy an Xbox One because of its size and power brick, so this model is perfect for them and it's more similar to PS4's clever design. If THIS had been the original Xbox One model, sales between Sony and Microsoft would have been very similar. I wonder why PS4 was so small while Xbox One was so big...

Okay, now my complaint. What I don't like is the white and black colour and the front. I think the original model is more elegant but of course the S model is more convenient. Of course, I won't be upgrading my Elite console (with SSHD) but this S model is brilliant, if a little too late.

@Vincent294 Actually, a 1TB model will be realeased. First the 2TB and then the 1TB and 500GB models.

@KelticDevil "I was trying to enjoy the game & all I could hear were 5-6 idiots screaming at each other." That is the exact reason why people don't always enjoy online gaming.

First of all, I have to say that the song takes all the horror away! Secondly, this is now one of my most anticipated games! Finally, the logo is brilliant.

@Gamer83 Thanks for your impressions, I have a PS4 but not Plus at the moment*

*And that makes me hate this Plus-only thing.

8/10. Lots of games, lots of freedom and hardware options: regular or Elite Xbox One, Xbox One S 500GB, 1TB or 2TB, a Windows 10 PC; regular, Elite or "à la carte" controllers... Many people have complained about Xbox One size and power brick and now they have a variety or hardware and controllers options.

The Scorpio bomb was a smart move. Firstly, it is a warning for those that were thinking of getting Neo thinking it would be the most powerful gaming platform. Secondly, no much information was revealed in order to prevent Sony from copying specifications.

PushSquare is going to break down as they believe Sony is God and PS4/Neo is the best gaming platform ever, plus all the multiplatform games are "PS4 games" according to their headlines. It's hard to be an adult with an adult mind these days...

Wii U does not even have an Ethernet port! Nintendo makes you pay for a separate Ethernet adapter, so I think it's nice that Microsoft is giving the adapter for free to those upgrading. To include the power unit and make the console 40% smaller is a great technical achievement already. Moreover, few people use Kinect 2.0, so it makes sense not to include additional hardware in the smaller version of the console.

@stylon The S main target are those on the fence, not the current Xbox One owners nor the geeks/hardcore players that are already anxious to buy the next generation devices.

@Falco1863 Agreed. If it is properly based on the WWI, at the very least we can learn history while playing...

I would have preferred a human character. Killer Instinct is already full of beasts.

So just the opposite of Nintendo and their rubbish policies.

And so Nintendo is another generation late again, for the third time. It worked the first time, it didn't work the second time and I'm not sure it's going to work the third time with these beasts around. Also, Nintendo should develop for these things and not for mobile phones!

It really looks good. I'm not much into MMO games as they could consume my whole time, but this game is looking awesome and, since I was a kid, I've always liked the pirate themes, probably because of Donkey Kong Country 2.

Yeah, nothing on Microsoft's websites either. Does it really play 4K Blu-ray discs?

According to different sources it does include the controller, which would explain why on the official advertisement the only legal conditions are "500GB. Prices may vary",

As happy as I am with my Elite pack, I think the S model does make sense indeed. Many people complain about Xbox One's size and power brick so now they have nothing to complain about. Moreover, Scorpio will be released at the end of next year... Xbox One S different price and HDD configurations are also good for people on the fence.

@SuperKMx I already know the details:

2TB: € $ 399 / £ 349
1TB: € $ 349 / £ 299
500GB: € $ 299 / £ 249

Killer Instinct, good! I am still trying to find the gamerpics that I have unlocked while playing... Where are they?

I'll try to watch Microsoft's conference, I won't be awake for watching Sony's and I don't think there's much to see about Nintendo. I love Zelda (Twilight Princess is my favourite) and that's the reason why I won't watch any spoilers of the next game. Spoilers = bad.

It can be disappointing for some people, but I understand that Microsoft has realised how important gaming is for console owners, saying goodbye to that guy you're talking about and to Kinect futuristic features, plus including backwards compatibility. The only thing Microsoft can't change is Xbox One's dated GPU, but I bet they won't make the same mistake again.

@stylon Yeah, that sounds like a cool Halo thing.

@stylon Can you use a Kinect 1.0 or do you need Kinect 2.0? I have no idea.

@stylon You don't need Kinect, you can use a headset.

Honestly, I think the current Xbox One user interface is the best of the three current consoles (and I have them all). However, I don't want Cortana to make it any slower, which was the reason why I had to deactivate it on my smartphone. I hoped that without Kinect, Xbox One would be faster and had additional resources for games to use, now a number of doubts have arisen.

I see how Playtonic is taking things from the original Donkey Kong Country game to improve the gameplay: Yooka's rolling is like Donkey standing on a rolling barrel, and the mine races are 2D-style like the original ones. The new footage looks honestly better than last time's footage and anyone can see that it's going to be a lot of fun to play. I hope it's a great success, they truly deserve it and I love this kind of games. Moreover, we Rare fans deserve some good old platforming after all this time, don't we? Super Mario 3D World and Ratchet & Clank are going to be a joke compared to Yooka-Laylee, so I hope Yooka-Laylee sales to be extremely high.

Yeah and not much praise either;:

I never win anything so I'd be happy if I do now.

Or, if Microsoft releases Xbox 1.5/Scorpio after Sony releases PS4Neo, Scorpio can have better features and, by then, Sony would not be able to counter-attack with a Neo-Neo.

And don't forget that the whole Xbox experience will be available on PCs soon, a great idea by the way. Killer Instinct 3 is one step in that direction: cross-buy, cross-play. It looked like PS was gobbling Xbox up and, after this evolution, Xbox (including games and consoles) will benefit from the PC userbase.

@Captain_Chao5 "I like the way the levels play out - bonkers gore-fest then safe to explore for the collectibles (and let your heart rate settle)" It sounds like classic fun.

@BAMozzy I like consoles because they are simple to use, but I just bought an Elite Xbox One console, so I expect Microsoft to support it for some time. If I wanted to have always the latest technology, I would be a PC gamer. I don't think 4K is relevant at the moment as far as games are concerned. Sure, 4K (UD) TVs are a reality but, honestly, I don't think they will be as fast adopted by the majority of the population as the 1080p TVs were. Most TV channels are sub-HD even though they are marketed as "HD", there is not a single console that easily outputs 1080p 60FPS games now until PS4Neo is released and who will buy the same films in UD? And who will buy a 4K TV now if they have a 60 inches 1080p TV in the living room (like I do)?

Consoles can't be ahead of PCs and shouldn't become PCs, although I think it's a great idea launching the whole Xbox experience for PCs, that's a very smart move, and I understand that Microsoft has to react somehow to the unnecessary PS4Neo, mostly because Xbox One was already at a disadvantage.

@stylon I know what you mean, I just bought an Xbox One recently. However, Sony's unnecessary anticipation with PS4Neo and Xbox One's current disadvantages are a huge pressure, and it also opens new market possibilities (like VR). Xbox One should have been better designed from the start though.

As some users have explained, obviously, the Xbox One Slim model is not targeted at the hardcore gamer, I suspect it will have less features like missing the Kinect compatibility or some ports.

@Dpishere Same here, I'm busy at the moment but will get this game eventually. It looks too sinister though.

@SuperKMx Plus, Xbox One is the only console where you don't pay again for the games that you already own. Even though I've never bought an Xbox 360, this aspect is a reality. On 3DS and Wii U you have to pay twice for the same games even though consoles are connected via NNID. On PS4 you have to pay again except for some VITA-PS3-PS4 cross-buy games. I really think Microsoft is the most generous, at least this generation. Nintendo is getting really stingy (they are really pissing me off) and Sony is somewhere in between (but fortunately closer to Microsoft).

I would like Dead Space II and III and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

I can't play much because I have to study, but I have been playing Viva Piñata, a game I discovered recently thanks to Rare Replay and I really enjoy it. Much more than I expected and much more than any Animal Crossing game.

The game and the HUD look ugly and the review talks about frame rate issues and super repetitive gameplay. I'm waiting for '90s Super GP...

EDIT: Even the nighttime screenshot looks terrible!

Lots of great deals on Xbox One, I just hope for some more backwards compatibility.
