I would hardly classify most Square Enix RPG-games as JRPG’s - or even really RPG’s for that matter. It’s mostly just uninteresting action games these days
But in general the PS4 will naturally be the place to go for JRPG’s unless Microsoft is making another push for some exclusive titles like they did (and failed to gain traction with) for the 360.
Yup no matter how much i Loved the FFXV trailer, it looked like Bayonetta more than
FF12 or 10. ATB and turn based is past. JRPG themesleves are much more in terrible
form than Adventure games and Platformers where former is revived by KS and later by nintendo. JRPGs are more close to SurvivalHorror genre now.JRPGs this gen i remember are, Valkyria, Resonance of fate, Xenoblade,last story and Ninokuni etc.
FF13 has become joke, i wonder M$ will support and bring big JRPGs like Lostodyssey this time or it will be just some random moneyhatting. Persona moneyhat can make some Sony fans really mad though.
Can’t argue there, Square-Enix console JRPGs are just weird mixtures now, their most most promising stuff in the genre is on 3DS (Bravely Default). I doubt Microsoft will bother with moneyhatting JRPGs this gen, last gen got them nothing in Japan and the home console market is even in worse state there now.
Actually, the most promising JRPG shown at E3 was on the Wii-U - the Xenoblade team game.
Great stuff.
I still think many will see the PS4 more appealing though. Most of the games for Xbox 180, will be on the PS4 anyway and we all know Sony make good exclusives. The price difference between the two is still huge. Xbox 180 still lagging behind in some area’s.
By the way, Xbox 180 sounds better.
Recently completed: Game of Thrones (decent), Tales from the borderlands (great!), Life is Strange (great!), Stasis (good), Annas Quest (great!); Broken Age (poor)
By the way, Xbox 180 sounds better.
Sounds to me like it’s only half as good as the 360.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Many have already started to use Xbox ONE-80 
Oh the irony…just a week and total U-turn
So Angry Joe is on the development team?!?
The backpedaling is amazing, I don’t remember seeeing something like it before a console release.

Have you actually played Bayonetta? Final Fantasy XV is more an Action/Adventure RPG more than a straight up use every combo possible to win the game. Not to mention, Bayonetta is a japanese action game that throws in those stupid score systems that break any sort of immersion. Best implementation of it that didn’t get in the way was DMC….but thats going off on a different tangent.
I do agree that its not like previous games, but its definitely nothing like a japanese action game. In my opinion, it the game finally made a proper move to modern gaming. By that I don’t mean casualization, but by the level of interaction the game will have now.

Anyone here notice yet that the “always connected Kinect” requirement has been lifted? That is, the Kinect doesn’t need to be on or even plugged in to use the console. Basically, I can’t remember any of the originally complained issues being there anymore…
Also, the controller is looking amazing. (And I think they did the right choice with not having a screen on the controller. Or smell-capsules Both were in some prototypes 
)
I’m in a hurry so I skipped the sources, but they’re all over so if you want to see articles about this, just google. The original info about the Kinect not being mandatory was in the IGN questionnaire series regarding the Xbox One that they’re doing every monday.

I did. That’s very good! I’m sure they’ll do their best to make the box nigh unusable when the kinect isn’t plugged in (“you won’t be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor” can be interpreted in different ways), but that’s only my speculation and it’s still better than nothing.
Still would be nicer if they weren’t requiring it with each purchase though. Maybe we’ll see a Kinect-free SKU one day.

True. And with the way they’ve changed their minds, maybe they’ll bring a kinectless version at launch
But it is also true that when the Kinect is in every box, and so everyone has it, the developers won’t be so afraid to utilize it. So, that way there’s some hope it won’t be just a gimmick, as has pretty much been with this motion stuff before (well, aside from Wii where it was half the control system).
Another 180 , maybe after seeing the preorders ratio. I hope they pull off non-kinect ver.
The price war will be tough to handle down the line.
I’m waiting for the ultimate back pedal though - completely rebranding the system by changing its name. Maybe to the Xbox Infinity? They pretty much changed almost everything else core to the machine’s experience.
Well, they’ve postponed the release in several would-be-day-one countries until 2014. All the Nordic countries included, and many other European countries, too.
(In the meanwhile, as far as I’ve seen Sony hasn’t announced anything since the E3 stuff. I wonder what they’re cooking…
Now with slightly faster processor and an actual release date
22nd November
1 week after the PS4 in the US
1 week before the PS4 in the UK
It will initially be available in 13 countries - UK, US, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.
An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

To be honest I think it is too soon for a new generation or am I just starting to feel old? lol Not seen anything that has blown me away other than that Ryse: Son of Rome which had quite cinematic graphics.
But like all consoles we probably wont see any innovation til the console has been on the market for at least 2-3 years. I won’t be buying one any time soon, these days I’m more inclined to sink the money into a really powerful computer more for my film editing work but a bonus that it should play most top end games.
Where is Half Life 2 Episode 3 anyway? lol
One Love.
