Xbone rumors blow PS4 rumors away. E3 is going to be great.
In what way? final fantasy alone trumps Xbone's list.

The rumors about ME2 and Hawken being console exclusive are pretty huge, I'll agree. I'm indifferent about KI but I know a lot of older Rareware fans will have genuine erections for it-- just hope it's not a rose-colored glasses affair and that Rare tries to genuinely move the series forward and not just KI circa '94 with 2013 graphics and tons of character DLC.
You're right though, E3 is going to be fantastic this year. Definite Ali vs. Frazier potential, given the stakes.
Final Fantasy has not really been a factor in the US in a very long time. Maybe this time will be different. But sales have trailed off the last few years due to FF being mediocre.
Comparing that to the resurrection of a new Mirror's Edge or a new Killer Instinct or exclusive new IP's from Respawn or Insomniac is not even in the same ball park.

No it does not. ME2, League of Legends, Titan, Hawken, KI, Insomniac IP and Fallout 4 are massive announcements, and destroy the PS4 list.

After FFXIII the franchise does not hold anywhere near as much weight as it did last generation.

If all of that comes true, then you're right.
Having said that, it's very unlikely that LoL will come to either platform-- Translation of UI implementation alone is problematic on the console, and given that LoL would be a major feather in MS' desired eSports cap, those kind of things would have to be addressed in order to make the competition fair. And Fallout 4 an exclusive for either platform? Never going to happen. Ever.

Okay, interesting Xbox One list... This might seem odd, but I'm more excited about Halo 4 again but this time on the Xbox One. 
It's my favorite Halo title of them all, so I honestly wouldn't mind an Xbox One remake in the least, this time with all the terminals brought into the main game as opposed to being done the way they were in Halo 4.
The rest of that stuff, though not all, is interesting. I've never been a big fan of Insomniac besides the Ratchet games, so hopefully they're doing something along those lines. They need to stay away from shooters, because I honestly don't think they're any good at making them. To be honest, they're quite terrible at them, imo.
Wasn't paying attention to that Hawken game at all till this thread. Seems like it could be a fun little distraction of a game. Mirror's Edge 2 would be nice pick up, no doubt.
Dead Rising 3 as a next gen exclusive would be a pretty great grab. It'd be a fantastic choice to show off the new Xbox, and is obviously insanely fun to boot.
And Final Fantasy, while I'll always pay attention to the next FF game, with jrpgs being my favorite genre, the Final Fantasy games have simply lost a ton of relevance, because they simply haven't been as good as you expect them to be in the last couple years. That said, they'll likely always be good to get excitement running wild, though. But as far as quality is concerned, the last good final fantasy game I played was FF 10, and the last great final fantasy game I played was ff9.
Killer Instinct seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I would pray that Microsoft try and turn it into something other than a fighter, but somehow try and turn it into some kind of awesome third person action game if possible, I don't know.

I don't find any of those rumours very exciting.
Was kinda hoping to feel hyped

Also def interested in Respawn's new game without a doubt. Last Call of Duty I bought was Modern Warfare 2. Haven't bought another since, so I wouldn't mind getting back on board with some of the original IW team.

It would help if Dust wasn't a steaming pile of garbage for the first few months it was in open beta. And even once out of beta it still looks like an original Xbox game with better resolution...or a PC game from 2000. CCP dropped the ball and the games popularity has nothing to do with the profit model.
I can go outside, pick up dog poop and play with it for free too, but I don't because that wouldn't be much fun either.

The second game in the Toriyama Waifu Trilogy even managed 350K at launch month. It's also odd to say that Killer Instinct, which hasn't had an iteration for a long time, is more of a relevant factor than Final Fantasy. Fighting games haven't been doing that hot recently, although Injustice did well for a new IP. While the less said about the last new IP from Insomniac in terms of sales, the better. :/
We'll hopefully know in 6 days. I'd like to think it would be infinitely better. I just hope they don't change the style.
I'm not saying that these games are more relevant because of their sales. I'm just saying that the prospect that these games even exist are more interesting to me. I would rather play a game that hasn't had 20 some odd iterations before it. It's truly in the eye of the beholder.

No, but it was the first time Sony pushed a brand with an established pedigree (even if it was in a different genre) on the PS3 with an F2P model and it really hasn't worked out for them or CCP-- and definitely for the reasons you mentioned and more; I played it for about 3 months of the beta and haven't gone back to it since. I think large scale F2P titles are still really unproven on consoles while upcoming re-releases like FFXIV offer SOE a chance to see if Sony platform supporters are still willing to back subscription models.

Wasn't that chubs guessing than speaking from an informed postilion?
I hope to God it was. To have waited this long for a sequel only to have turn into some Kinect only mess would be heartbreaking.
SicSemperTyrannis

I think that regardless of how well FFXIV sells SOE will still offer the new Everquest on as many platforms as makes sense. The PS4 being the only console they would logically target makes it a given. Assuming the next EQ is f2p then they should have it on as many platforms as they can to increase the potential population. Ultimately what CCP should be trying to do is move beyond Sony platform exclusivity and have Dust on more platforms. Whether that is expanding to just PC or working with Microsoft on an Xbox release is moot, even a bad f2p title will have people try it just because it has no cost barrier to enter.
Also, if you only played during the beta get the newest update released for the actual release and see if you like it any more than before. The game is still janky and busted, but if you played for a few months you may enjoy it now with all the updates they added. I still think it's a waste of time, but it's hard to release a shooter in the current marketplace that isn't on par with the gameplay of the heavyweights (CoD, Halo, BF).

I think the style will remain, that was the most unique part (other than the perspective).
Where did the Dead Rising III exclusive come from? That Kinect zombie game rumour?
This Verendus guy is just full of rumors isnt he?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=61040485&postcount=10141
Anything resembling a PSABR sequel...well just a Sony mascot brawler has me soo damn excited
Does Verendus have any track record on rumours? Because that post linked in the OP seems very questionable. Even if they go in a completely different direction, sadly it makes zero sense for there to be a demon's souls 2.
Also is there a source on some of these MS 3rd partly exclusives (besides the respawn game)? Or is it just that we know they've got some, and those games sort of make sense. Whatever they announce, I'll be very interesting to see if they are timed exclusives or not.

Is Demon's Souls 2 a collaboration with From or is it Sony alone?

I hope Last Guardian is on ps4, it'd make me buy one as I don't want to have to bother getting a ps3 this late. As long as the ps4 is no more than $300

It's interesting how the reactions to these rumors reveal how different the games everyone values are...
Like for me, the MS rumors don't good a candle to the PS rumors but many people are saying the exact opposite. And there are also people who seem actually excited about a Retro Studio Star Tropics game... Which to me is incredibly disappointing haha.
E3's gonna be interesting

Insomniac is a shit stain shadow of what it used to be...from great titles like R&C1/2/3/F1/F2/F3 and Resistance1/2/3 to garbage such as R&C A4O/FFA and Fuse.
I am not interested in their new aims or crappy direction for their future.

Wow, that Dead Rising 3 rumor is news to me. If that us indeed true I will for sure be buying the system.
since when is this a major rumour ? Did I miss something or is it simply based on verendus' comment in passing about it ? Let's not make something out of pretty much nothing.No more hearts need to be broken.
Miyazaki is not working on Dark Souls 2 and from what I've heard from some legit folks he's working on a PS4 game.
No idea if it's Demon's Souls 2 though. Could be something new.
You'll have to free run around your room ala Kinect, so the combat might be better.
I agree completely, but I also think it would only take one game of the right quality to restore the franchise as a heavy weight. Maybe not to the status Squaresoft enjoyed with it in the PSX/early PS2 days, but it could certainly make the series relevant again.

My wife calls it that, especially when I was playing it over and over and over going for the gold bolts. A Crack in Time is still one of my favorite games this generation.

I hope Sony has a few more big surprises. Versus and TLG are huge, but MS seems to be prepearing a lot of 3rd party stuff. Then again, we don't now what SSM and ND are making for the PS4 and those are Sony's top studios.
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
I can see that, but people had the same reservations for Minecraft 360... and that port is a HUGE success and in a short time it became by far XBLA's best selling title.
I was hoping it was a case of your phones auto correct going insane.
ANd I agree. A Crack in Time might be Insomniacs best game.

If Microsoft/Sony were to bank roll exclusives from big, independent developers there isn't really a tonne of them Given a quick look at Wikipedia here's some of the ones I think could potentially be signed up and retain IP rights or IP exclusivity like Gears of War.

He is not directly involved with Dark Souls 2 though, just a supervisor.

It's not (or wasn't...) likely to be talked about during this e3 so no one mentioned it. But more people than verendus have heard about this.
It's not going to be anywhere near launch.
As for mirrors edge, my only contribution to that rumor is that I've been told it's not coming to sony. So if the game does exist, which i assume is true, I made the leap in logic that it was a ms exclusive. Others stating it was a ms exclusive combined with me hearing from a few times now that no one in sony has seen it on any list is the reason I'm vouching for the rumor. Process of elimination.
Also as far as I've read it's not guaranteed to be kinect... That was just chubigans giving a very realistic sounding scenario under which it would be. I don't think any of us would be shocked if EA focus tested this into a shooter of the blanket proportions though.
