AMD has made a nice step into VR affordability with the GPU market, with the RX 480. http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases ... may31.aspx

A friend of mine says it'll be at the R9-390X / GTX980 level of performance, at a $200 price tag. :o

Wow that is quite affordable. I was expecting it to be a lot more.

You practically can build a really really sweet low-powered gaming PC with that GPU too. Friend said 100 to 120 watt power draw from the GPU.

Here's a parts list he made up: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BgHpgL - just add the GPU to that later and bam, sweet low powered gaming machine. 8)

I'm glad Microsoft's major exclusives , like Recore and Gears 4 ,will be released on Windows 10. Forza Horizon 3 looks very appealing too and I don't play many racers.
Hopefully they put their older Xbox exclusives, such as Halo: MCC, Rare Replay and Sunset Overdrive, on Windows 10 too.

Sony really is a perfect example of how to do E3.
Game, after game, after game. Microsoft, Ubi, Bethesda, and EA were all focused on a lot of boring talking after the game is shown.
Not trying to sound bias, but Sony showed they knew what they were fucking doing, they knew what people wanted, games. Every minute of it had presentation after presentation, it was consistent.

AS for the games themselves... I can't say this got me as excited as last year's E3 by Sony, but I still think they fucking nailed it. I'm interested in learning more of Kojima's new game, the Crash remasters I'm looking forward to, and the Last Guardian looks pretty incredible.
They also have me interested in Playstation VR, not enough to warrant a purchase quite yet... but to keep me interested.

In terms of games, not hardware. I think Microsoft beat them in terms of hardware if it really is true that the scorpio will be able to output "true 4k."

That's also part of the problem. See, I am planning to acquire a PS4 around Christmas for KH 2.8, but will the PS4K be around at that time? If yes, at what price?

It's because I'm interested in the games that I want to know more about the hardware.

Hopefully soon. I'm also a little annoyed since I bought a PS4 not too long ago and now we got the PS4 Neo on the horizon.

Personally, I don't think we'll be seeing Scorpio or Neo until next year.

Honestly, Sony's E3 was by far the best imo (MS were 2nd). The new Spiderman game by Insomniac, God of War, Days gone and Crash's return sold it for me.

I've been reading through some of the highlights, I was kinda intrigued to see that God of War has switched from Greek to Nordic, and it seems a lot less action-like. I wonder what fans of the series have made of that. I was pretty surprised to see Insomniac doing a Spiderman game, though it looks decent.

It seems theyre focusing on charcters and narrative a lot more in this GOW, so the change of camera, to focus closer on the characters actions and the enviroment around them, is very intresting. The combat and set pieces still look amazing so that's good.

I'm surprised it's Insomniac and not SP, like the rumor had us believe. Honestly, I think Insomniac will do a great job. It does leave the question of what Sucker Punch are working on though.

I wouldn't honestly worry about it anyway. You'll never really see a difference, unless you had full intentions of using it for Bluray movies that run 4K resolution.

I am really excited for the new Spiderman because Insomniac doesn't dissapoint.
Also Bound really, really intrigues me. I don't know about you but being a ballerina gracefully running and jumping through a generating world is just soooo cool.
The platforming reminds of a more graceful Uncharted meets Mario Galaxy.

I'll be watching Nintendo shortly. While I'm aware they're only showing one game, it's fucking Zelda. This is the first Wii U title in a long time to not be a rehash or on the "play it safe" side (3D World and NSMB series) so I'm REALLY anticipating this. A new ambitious adventure title for the Wii U.

Edit: wow, seems Christina grimmie was suppose to be at the conference, man that's quite hard hitting.

Do you really dislike the Zelda series that much?

What!? Dude, I love Zelda, it's one of my favorite series. What the hell are you talking about? I say "it's fucking Zelda" as in I'm excited.

Aha, I understand the way I worded it made you misunderstood, but that peeved me a bit. Sorry for the overreaction, haha.
