Next Gen next Month!

Can you believe Xbox One and PS4 launch next month!

Got both pre-ordered and I am looking forward to them.

I look back at this generation as a golden age really like the SNES vs Megadrive of the 90's

While consoles just as Dreamcast had a built in modem and could play online and the original Xbox had Xbox live added at a later date. The xbox 360 / PS3 generation was the first generation where features such as user profiles, dlc and such were standard.

I met so many great friends online this generation, had some fun games online (usually on shooters but I am notorious on racing games for some reason  )

I expect these new systems to be an evolution of the current systems, the days have long past where there were huge leaps each gen. Going from 2d to 3d between SNES and PS1 or N64 was a huge leap. It will be tough to do that kind of leap again.

In the same way that mobile phones get new models each year, yet we are also now at a point where they are really incremental improvements rather than giant leaps.

As it stands excluding PS+ titles, Lego Marvel Super Heroes looks set to be my last current gen game before the new consoles are launched.

So is everyone else looking forward to the new consoles?

still have not ordered any games for the new consoles yet, hope to do so next week

I will certainly be buying Forza 5 for XBO and Assassins Creed 4 for PS4

and another game for each system as well, probably BF4 for XBO and COD Ghosts for PS4 as of now

watch dogs has been delayed until next year! Its probably for the best with loads of new games released at once, this way it will have a much better chance of good sales. most games sales will be spread to thin, plus a better installed base on next gen systems!

well we still have no official word on a release date over here in Holland, but the word on the street is it will be April!!!

So for me next gen will start whenever i manage to find one for sale - it will probably be a case of getting one from the UK or Germany but may be as late as New Year (i probably wont be back in the UK till then, if i see one in Germany it will be before this)

in the meantime im playing assassins creed and forza, i may get GTA V as well but wont be buying BF4 etc untill have an xbox one (i played the beta and the map was too big for 12 vs 12 in my opinion) - mind you i will probably have changed my mind by this time next week
