I'll be going on Sunday with my dad and a friend of mine. Went there last year too, it's pretty fun how there were much more older gamers at the X/Y demo then there were at the demo's of shooters and such. Can't wait to see which games will be showed, and which demo's there'll be. Heard that Magicka 2 will be shown more, so that's one good thing.

I just hope Square changes its mind and after 2015 they release Rise of Tomb raider for PC And PS4. For 2015 it will be an exclusive, but I do hope to get it for my ps4. I loved the reboot on my ps3.

I'm guessing that Rise of the Tomb Raider will probably be a timed exclusive, unless they enjoy shooting themselves in the foot by only releasing the game on what will still probably be the worst selling console of the generation. If not, oh well. We probably just won't see another Tomb Raider game ever again.

I highly doubt the XBone will sell worse than the Wii U :mellow: I mean, it's been < 1 year and it's already on the Wii U's tail, and as others have pointed out, it still hasn't released in ~25 countries (albeit, it's not all that popular in those areas, it's still going to contribute). I would be 100% surprised if the XBone doesn't come in second place this gen.

There's no way Square Enix will ignore that PS4/PC money.
If that was the case then they would have ignored the Xbox One and announced both Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV exclusively for PS4.

Well, it could go either way, really. The Xbox One sales have been moving really, really slowly since the launch hype died down. There are still several years left in the generation though, and all things considered, you're most likely correct.

Only just got in from work, just been reading the umpteen thousand 'FUKK YOU MS!' by the Sony girls online regarding Tomb Raider! Come on the first game wasn't even that good like Guild says..... MS's Uncharted then by the looks of it (Uncharted's fukkin over rated too anyway)
Wouldn't mind knowing how much they paid Squeenix for that...

Best news for me came right at the end though, and isn't even mentioned in the feed on here - Geometry Wars 3!! :D GW2 was, ooh, easily one of my top 10 games of the last gen, and with Bizarre gone I thought that was it, but brought back by members of the team that made the originals? Oh yes I'll have some of that...

RoTR will probably be a timed exclusive, because SE.
People are actually mad about not getting RoTR on the PS4 when we're already getting the vastly superior Uncharted 4.

C'mon now people. Tomb Raider was okay at best, it was just bad Uncharted.
This sounds just like Sour Grapes.

I bet you that it will finish last behind PS4 and WiiU ya its been out longer but the fanboys give it it's initial push and then sales have steadily declined, while Wii U sales have steadily increased. Xbox1 should of already surpassed Wii U if that was the case but it hasn't and honestly i don't think it will.

Yeeeah no. I would love to see the sales figures for your "steadily increasing Wii U sales", because it definitely hasn't. System sales are still piss poor, and it's probably going to stay that way in the end game. Smash Bros will boosts sales slightly, Zelda will boost sales slightly, but other than that there's pretty much no way it's going to beat out the XBone. People keep crying about how XYZ Nin10doh title is going to save the Wii U, when it reality it didn't save the GC or the N64 before it.
