"I think the Xbox One hardware is just fine," Ed Fries remarked in an interview with CNET, carried out just prior to the release of Titanfall. "I like the fact that both Sony and Microsoft have gone back to a more PC like architecture like we did with the original Xbox. "I also like that every Xbox One is the same, which is important for developers," he added. "On 360, for example, you couldn't count on there being a hard disk." The console's online support is also a cut above, in Fries' view. "Microsoft has always been ahead in system software as well. Xbox Live is still the best and the new system is even better than before." Once Microsoft's vice-president of game publishing, Fries oversaw the evolution of the fledgling "DirectX box" into the obsidian behemoth we all know and love. "All the PC developers we knew were excited about it," he recalled of the original Xbox's advent. "Nintendo and Sony had a reputation for being difficult to deal with at the time, so I think the developers appreciated having another choice. "I was thinking about how to get my PC games group into the console business when [the DirectX team] approached me, so it was natural for me to support their effort," Fries went on. "It would be the easiest way for us to get in the business. The next step was for us to convince our bosses to give us a billion dollars or two to give it a try." So what does the Microsoft of today need to do, in order to overcome the competition? Continue to sign up exclusive games, it seems. "So far there aren't enough games for the system," suggested Fries. "If Microsoft can bring the best first- and third-party games to the platform then they will be tough to beat." Promisingly, "Game On" is the title of Microsoft's E3 press event. According to Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, 90 minutes isn't enough to fit in all the games there are to show.

- What does Destiny do that’s unique? What’s revolutionary that sets it apart? Destiny casts you in the role of the iconic hero, and sets you on an epic journey brimming with heart-pounding action within a living world filled with adventure. You’ll cross paths with other brave heroes on their own quests — story, cooperate, and competitive — and they’ll know exactly how powerful and awesome you are just by looking at the gear you’ve earned. - How many players can team up in Destiny? Our core cooperative nucleus is the Fireteam — a group of three Guardians bound together by blood (and netcode). But whether you’re going it alone, of linked up with a Fireteam, you can still encounter other Guardians as you tackle the larger challenges that you’ll find in public events. There’s no telling how many people you might have to work with to defeat the most dangerous enemies. Of course, other modes like competitive multiplayer, or Raids, will feature player counts well above three — but we’re not talking about those quite yet. Stay tuned! -How does joining a public event work? To join a public event, all you have to do is get within range, and open fire. No lobbies. No loading screens. The frontier is open, and filled with encounters you can join, or skip right past, on your way to something you’ve deemed momentarily more important. - Will there be PvP? Yup! We’re already thumping each other’s skulls in studio-wide playtests, battling other Guardians for glory, bragging rights, and rewards. All the gear you earn in competitive multiplayer can be taken into other modes, too (and vice versa)! -I like to play games solo often. How much can I do alone? Ah, the proverbial Lone Wolf. You can experience Destiny’s story as a party of one, assuming you’re that much of a badass. Destiny will never require you to team up with other people in campaign missions. You’ll see other players along the way, but you can choose to ignore them. That said, we think you’ll find that playing with other Guardians is quick, painless, and a ton of fun. It’s always your choice, though. ‏-How deep does the customization go? All the way down to your bones! Well, maybe not that far, but Destiny will be what you make of it. All of the weapons and gear you can earn in Destiny can be customized — some more than others, but the goal is to let every player tell a story through the gear and abilities they’ve earned and wear. You create a character, pick a class, gender, and race, and then you customize the way you look and fight by completing missions, defeating enemies, or maybe just by exploring the world. -How big is the world map? I’m really excited! Bigger than anything Bungie has ever built. We no longer have mission designers, but world designers, instead. They’re building places worth visiting, exploring, and reclaiming from your enemies. We’re excited, too! We can’t wait to see what you’ll do when you get in there. We’ll be watching! ‏-What kind of endgame things are you planning on implementing to keep this world alive after players have finished? We’re creating a world you’ll want to visit again and again, and it will evolve and change right alongside you. We’re going to fill it up with activities that we think will satisfy a lot of different types of players, or even the different moods you have. That might mean something really challenging on the cooperative front, like a Raid. It might mean that amazing, exotic Sniper Rifle that you’ve been drooling over for the last few months. It might even mean the new twist we’ve put on the as-of-yet-unrevealed game type that makes it feel new and different.

Wow...... Hopefully we'll learn more about a release date soon!

So I wanted to make a thread to talk about BF4. Everytime I see more videos on this game it makes me want it even more. But only on the PS4, of course. I just watched some sniping gameplay and the map looks great with the weather and all!

How will you remember this generation of gaming consoles?
