Score. Holiday request for that week submitted. Adios family!

360 version is being made by a different developer hand picked by Respawn.

Shouldn't be too tricky to port, it's a source engine game. All the magic cloud stuff can be done by anything with a network connection.

Anyway, the last piece of the pre-release puzzle is complete. gauntlets thrown down, dates set, production lines rolling, forums screaming, wallets cowering. THIS IS IT! BRING ON THE NEXT GEN!

Excellent, a full week of uninterrupted Forza before the Battlefest.

[Cosmic_Guru]

Shit getting real now! Just got the vanilla console preorder currently since none of the Shop To bundles looked particularly enticing.

[jonamok]

Come on Sony, shift your EU release date forward a week. You know it makes sense.

[Revival]

Crimson Dragon

Dead Rising 3

Forza 5

Killer Instinct

Need for Speed Rivals

Great launch lineup, Really looking forward to it now.

Just had a go of one. Controller is nice but feels quite chunky, d-pad felt nice but was a bit rubbish to use. Sticks are good, as ever. Killer Instinct looks like a 360 game.

I found it to be the opposite, the controller for me felt too small although it doesn't actually look all that smaller and seems bigger than the DS4? But the DS4 felt much more comfortable and natural in my hands. Must the position of where my hands are or something.

I love it when people say "hand picked" with regards to stuff like this. How else would they do it? A raffle?

That womans face and voice will haunt my dreams.

[David Kenny]

It's the eyes, they both have dead soul-less eyes. And also it's the smiles, the fixed rictus grins of the damned, mouthing words they desperately try to force themselves to believe. Yeah, I liked it, I hope it does well.

Meanwhile, at GameHQ:

"Hello, Activision? Yeah, Game here, we're getting more Day One Consoles, do you have anything even more premium that we can bundle in? You know, a statue or a gun skin or something. We just want to increase the... value of our bundles."

[NecroMorrius]

Who glued that poor girl's teeth together? Nasty prank.

Aren't they on the ends of your arms like everyone else?

Sweet fucking christ that woman is like a demon doing an impression of a human.

My favourite moment in that video is when Medhi says "one of the things our developers have done over the weekend... and uhh, last couple of weeks... is improve the clock speed".

I have this image of a late 90's PC geek stood on a production line overclocking all the Xbones by moving a jumper and dabbing some solder on
