Where is Fallout 4...? Can you not pre-order that on Amazon ro something? Or because Fallout 4 had been announced the week before E3 it doesn't count?

Seems like a ranking of E3 games in reverse order of originality and new content.
The FF7 remake probably won't come out until 2018. I am sure Amazon enjoys earning interest on all that cash.

Amazon doesn't get your money til it ships.
Erm....what cash?

Spike in sales of original game, and likely same with preorder for games
Also that iOS game was high on apple charts

Yeah, since the list is for "Just Announced" games.
No Nintendo games, ha ha!

Rare Replay just 360 games? Lmao. You pretty much just invalidated anything else you just said with that one line.

amazon doesnt charge you till it ships
I guess? It's such a weird oversight not to include that because it was shown on Monday at Microsoft's conference as well.

I can understand backing a Kickstarter, even though I've never done it. But I'll never understand preordering a game.

I'm sure as fuck they have not ported the big hitters on this like kameo and co considering the price of the package.
Because pip boy wont be on the shelf at launch?
as for normal copies of a game? Yeah i don't get that.
Elite controller at number 10? Based on that 40 page thread you would think nobody was going to buy it.
Huh? You can cancel a pre order, I'm pretty sure if a kick starter game flops or never releases they'll still take your money.

kameo and most of the rare games are playable on x1 right now, through backwards compatibility.

Its all the 360 games minus Kinect Sports and that Jetpack game.

Er yeah, that's my point.
This collection will just be mainly games running on BC, not upgraded in anyway
Kameo, PDZ, Nuts & Bolts, and both Viva Piñata games are on there but please keep showing us you have no idea what you're talking about.

Congratulations on being a bank that gives credit for zero interest.
Preordering needs to stop.

rare replay is awesome value so not surprised to see it that high
nice to see gears ultimate edition there, hopefully game has healthy population
surprised to see gears 4, its so far away and the demo was ass so not sure why people have preordered it

It was revealed prior to E3 so they count it in the other list.

Prove too me right now all these games have been upgraded for xbox one.
I have all the ones I'm interested in already, only one there is blast corps, shame no jet force
I pre-order on Amazon occasionally when I'm definitely going to buy something, that way it just arrives on release day when I get home. Set it and forget it.

So you haven't looked up the game list huh?
This has Viva Pinata 1 and 2, Kameo, all XBLA releases, Conker, PDZ, & Jet Force.
Great for $30.
Er yeah, that's my point.

5-6 games out of 30 is not "mainly". Grabbed by the Ghoulies (not a 360 game) is also confirmed to be 1080p60fps. Even if they aren't upgraded, what's the problem, it's $30. Great deal regardless.

Rare Replay is the best videogame deal I've ever seen.
And Battletoads. Never forget Battletoads.
I'm surprised to see the Elite controller so high up there. It's gotta be like $200 in the UK minus tax.
Re-releases and remasters ruling the roost I see.
Wow... the pricing of that thing really is nothing less than obscene.

Yeah it's great kameo and vivas are worth it alone, but my argument is the main ones are no different to the 360 games we already played, viva pinata needs better frame rate
perfect dark zero needed... finishing.Imagine if the mcc collection was just the original games using BC to run no upgrades in anyway, people would be moaning there not true x1 games..
The price of the total package just screams "0 work done"

I didn't preorder anything but I added a bunch to my wishlist.

They sell, so it makes sense. Think FFX HD outsold Lightning Returns.
I am in the camp that is surprised Elite Controller is on the list. Probably people think it will be limited and want a piece. It will probably get canceled closer to launch.

I would preorder Gears 4 (but I really dont preorder any games until 1-2 days before release, once I hear its not broken). I though what they showed was very similar to Gears 1. Being creepy and not knowing what you are hunting. I loved the demo. More slow paced and dark/mystery story than over the top action. What they showed restored faith for me in the series.
And Rare Replay has Blast Corps. I would have paid $60 on that basis alone.

Actually, that's the only item on this list that could feasibly sell out of stock. Pre-ordering games is just... pointless.
Yeah. The argument being that it's compeetively priced against similar custom controllers and offers more accessories etc etc. I'm definitely getting one but it is still a bit pricey.
So you can have the game delivered to you on release day? It's common sense. Some people, lol.

I'm in the camp of like 90% going to keep it unless we find out something bad in the next few months.

Happy to see the spike for Rainbow Six and Forza, both games had great showings.
Kinda sad that 5 of the top 10 *NEW* games revealed at E3 are remakes or remasters, and only one is a new IP. :/
The first game sold a million its first month in NPD, and it only went up from there. The prequel was the only one that flopped.
I really hope you aren't one of those people who goes out to buy on release day and bitches about low stock and having to travel to 5 different stores to find an obscure Japanese game.

Yeah I would pre-order Gears 4 as well, but it's so far from release. I liked the atmosphere and the weather looked great.

Was there ever a doubt? Halo is one of the biggest franchises in gaming.
I'm a Sony guy but they don't have an IP with the selling power/name recognition of Halo and they don't have any major blockbuster titles for this fall.
I don't think it's a bad move. Between MGSV and Fallout 4, along with your yearly franchises like AC and COD, it's going to be a tough holiday to push a game. With MS dropping Halo I think it's smart to not try to push a title out.
those Sony marketing dollars at work
but seriously, you would guess the vast majority of the people who buy cod aren't watching E3 and pre ordering games. FIFA is pretty low too.

British gamers like cheap games and Rare Replay is the cheapest there. Gears probably the second cheapest.
Assuming this is just Amazon UK, of course.
