Jervo:
so: the new Microsoft promotion for next week is that if you buy an Xbox One, you get one free game – ANY game – to go along with it.
i’m hard-pressed to know what game I’d even want, given that i still don’t give a shit about Titanfall, and that every other game that’s out I’ve already played on PS4.
*maybe* Forza5, or Dead Rising 3.
Greg:
they are aggressively trying to play catchup, which makes sense even if it costs them a ton of money. if they can’t get a good install base early, it’ll be awfully tempting for some devs to forego publishing on XBO altogether, i would think.

Jervo: well, they did buy exclusivity for Tomb Raider 2
Greg:
yes
yes
Jervo: and i’m sure they’ll continue to be aggressive with that
Greg:
can you get a pre-order with this promotion?
ie could you reserve TR2?

Jervo:
no preorders
no preorders
existing games only
I’d reserve Horizon 2, if that were the case
even Peggle 2 is coming to PS4 pretty soon
Greg:
wikipedia says crackdown 3 is going to be
XBO exclusive? i don’t think i knew that?
i would consider that a “wait for the reviews” game,
but if it’s a return to form you can’t sit that out.

Jervo:
it was always an Xbox franchise; makes sense it would stay that way. problem is, Crackdown 1 was brilliant but Crackdown 2 was a fucking disaster

Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2 are the only 2 real big games that look appealing to me on the XBO, and neither one of them are available in this promotion.
you’ve got an XBO, are you using it at all?
Greg:
i haven’t played a game on my xbone in a long time.

i’m sure i’ll play a ton of horizon and probably
sunset overdrive, but ps4 remains my primary
game console by a large margin

man, how the mighty have fallen.
