I really want to get a good look at the current gen games that will be coming out this fall, but if it's possible I'd also like to get my hands on both of the next gen consoles, I've already made my decision on which one I'd like to buy, but I'm still going to try both out and see how the controllers feel and to play the demos of whatever exclusives they have set-up.
It'll be odd seeing Microsoft twist in the wind in their own hometown though. With all the agro they've picked up from gamers these last few months it might be awkward.
I'd also like to try out the newer Occulus Rift modes they have, and it would be cool if those guys making the omni treadmill were there, that would be fun to try out.
Not to delve too deeply into the (over)dramatics of the pending console war, Microsoft will be showcasing plenty of games, and questionable policies aside, people will want to play those games. Aside from that, the PAX Community tends to and is expected to behave with a bit more magnanimity when it comes to what other people are interested in. Want to play a Xbox One game? Then, go stand in line without fear of being harassed. This is PAX. "Welcome Home". While I won't speak for anyone but myself, I can't imagine there will be much tolerance for outright harassment or disruptive soapboxing at the MS booth. And that's the way it should be.
I'm sure that plenty of people (myself included) will want to get there hands on the Xbox One controller. I was merely making an observation based on the games industry as it is.
My comments are likewise based on the industry as is. Have you seen the state of intelligent discourse in gaming media? Not exactly Douglas and Lincoln at 10 paces. At this point, a debate between Senator Giant D. and Judge T. Sandwich would be considered civil.
That was not my intention to put words in your mouth. Let us call that the end of the discussion and make peace.
On the contrary, I think there might be a lot of curious gamers looking at the Xbox One to see if the games are worth the horrid system policies. Wii U sold me for 'first pick' last year at their Wii U party thing in Seattle (I would own it already if Rayman hadn't been delayed), PS4 sold me for second by... well, by not making me uncomfortable with how the system works.
Microsoft, so far, has only managed to un-sell me on the Xbox One. Instead of wondering when I'll buy one, I'm wondering if I'll ever want one at all. I'll be curious to get a better look at the thing, to see if the games make it worth putting up with. Considering that all this had me re-evaluate my current collection, and realize there is a good chance I wouldn't own an Xbox 360 if I hadn't gotten it as a gift... it's gonna take something mind-blowing to sell me on the upgrade. I'm gonna be very, VERY interested to see a game that good.
They're hurting pretty hard in the court of public opinion and will probably try to show a bunch of exclusives to entice us gamers that the Xbox policies are worth all the awesome exclusives you'll get to play if you buy one.
Or so I hope because I wanted to like the Xbox, but didn't see anything I could only get on the Xbox One that I liked enough to overlook the policies. So here's hoping for more next gen and exclusives from Xbox.
And it's all seeing eye!
Plus it would be cool if they released any info on whether or not it will stay exclusive or not. I heard at they're exploring the idea of bringing it to the PS4 if they can.
I really only paid attention to games I was interested in, but I saw way more 2014 than I saw 2013 games. Thinking people that go to east may see more and sooner than us this August.
So I'm not really sure how many games we'll see or whether it will be a bunch of pandering from MS and Sony just trying not to screw up. I'd bet either East or next Prime will be the time to go for games.
Albeit I'll still be mainly interested in any new PC tech that they'll have there.
Oh and also Assassin's Creed ;-)
Other titles I am hoping make an appearance: Titan Fall, Kill zone 4 (the new one forget the name) & InFamous Second Son
I do think we will have a decent chance of seeing the new consoles though as they would be launching in the upcoming months and something like Pax would most definitely help showcase what the system can do, what the controls feel like & of course help make people feel better about their pending purchases :P
Oh my Dayum
Oh my goodness
They goin' Ham
I'm excited to give Destiny a whirl too. I didn't play the first two InFamous games but I think it's neat that it's set in Seattle. Also really hoping to see Beyond: Two Souls this year.
Myself, I applaud MS for not keeping it a secret until launch and then being like "oh by the way..."

I find most people who are upset with the restrictions are mostly people who pirate games. Its not all pirates but I bet a good portion of them are.
The only restriction I find kind of stupid is the whole 30 day on friendslist thing and some of the kinnect stuff but its not going to stop me from purchasing an xb1
Oh my Dayum

And the biggest gripes I have about the Xbox One are that discs are pretty much worthless, there is no borrowing/lending of games (unless the person is connected to your account, is your friend for a month and has a constant Internet connection to stream the game form the cloud, which only works if they are the only one using the Internet in their house) and the 24 hour check in. A good amount of military personnel won't the able to bring the Xbox One with them when they are deployed (and the way Micrsoft handled talking about this was just insulting, "If you like playing games offline or don't have access to he Internet, we have the perfect product for you! It's called the Xbox 360!") I could have dealt with the DRM and picked one up in the future to play the exclusives, but I really can't support them just giving a big chunk of their supporters in the military and foreign countries the middle finger.
I do plan to play what they have there to see what I'm missing, but I am definitely not buying one.
One thing I'm wondering... will there be PC based dev kits or near-production units running games at PAX. A lot of people throw a fit when they see a console dev kit that shows a blue-screen or a desktop. That veneer of "consolosity" seems really important to some people.
I agree I don't sell or trade in too many games but once in awhile if I pass a game really fast and it doesn't have MP or I am not interested in MP I usually sell via craigslist but with the XB1 I can't do that unless X person is on my friends list. I understand its similar to how a PC works but I'd much rather they drop the whole 30 day friends list thing that just seems ridiculous.
Thanks for the thread Edge have to go check it out!

I think you mean "moot". But that's ok
Now I'm even more excited to try the Xbox One out at PAX since I'm interested in it again.
And I hope they have some more Kingdom Hearts 3 info.
Massive Crystal Cavern!
lol, what is that thing anyway?
$99 Android console.
Alas, this is a cage match we will never get to see now.
...
lol?
I'm half expecting it to take the place of the Firefall bus.
