Not everyone can afford to buy multiple platforms. I don't think that speaks to how much of a "fan" someone is at all.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. This game looks fun as heck, but I'm not buying an overpriced console (IMO, compared to what you get when you buy a PS4 for less money) for a single game. There's unfortunately not much else that really interests me exclusives-wise on the XBO, and for multiplats I have a PS4, so I just can't justify getting one unless it becomes considerably cheaper. So most signs unfortunately point toward me missing out on this game.

Looks like a much more fun to play Dead Rising.
I don't like the art style even though it works for this kind of game/atmosphere. The weapons seem pretty awesome, typical Insomniac.
However it's not my cup of tea I guess. It feels like it fits that Crackdown niche, but I didn't like that game at all either. Seems like a good choice by MS, it fits their portfolio I would say (even though due to last gen I now simply expect all MS "locked down" games to come to other consoles unless MS actually owns the IP. Even then, there's still PC...).

That's pretty awesome! Hope to see more of these deals in the future with developers, or then many years down the line get into problems with sequels/remakes/digital distribution/ports/etc.
Damn... well it's still a day one purchase for me.
This is already happening, sadly.

Ban Kai!
Wouldn't mind being able to customize my character to look like a shinigami from bleach.
More like shikai.

Wait, what? Do you mean Sub-1080? Or is this game literally like 480p or something?

Not really. Some can't afford it as seen in this very thread. But hey, each console is going to have its exclusives which make the other side's mouth water like this game.
I showed them lots of love with my cash on PS3 and all I got were mediocre games
The Sonic cycle can almost be applied to Insomniac games.
If you think that all of the Insomniac PS3 games are mediocre then I have a hard time believing you're actually a fan.
Then again, that's gaf. One bad game can eclipse all the great things that came before.
Do we know that Sony didn't support their vision, or was MS just more willing to put more support on the table?

You guys have a lot more willpower than I. No way I'd be able to resist, for example, a Sakaguchi release, even if it were on a platform I didn't yet own. I wouldn't be able to guarantee I can get it that moment it releases, or even that year, but there's no way I would miss out on it entirely if I'm a big fan of a developers work. I just couldn't do it. And, most important, the system won't always be the same price. Prices go down with time.
Yeh me too. all their last gen efforts were sub hd on ps3. yet still looked fine. People were creaming over ratchet when that got shown

Looks like a ton of fun. Definitely picking up Infamous vibes in regards to the smoothness of traversal and easy transition to destructive mayhem.
I really like how colorful and fun everything looks as well. Those respawn animations were terrific.

Very happy for XB1 owners. This game looks really, really cool. If this and Quantum Break turn out to be great, and the XB1 drops in price by at least $100, it just might be time for me to join team Xbox.
More thoughts on the trailer:
Love:
- The art style and colors; just gorgeous. Looks next gen and vibrant.
- The unique weapons; classic Insomniac. The weapons look very fun to use.
Don't love as much:
- The traversal; the brief moments of traversal looked kind of slow (especially compared to a game like Infamous. I was a bit surprised at the slower speed of some of the motion)
- It's a little bit too goofy for me; I like the lighter tone, but even the way the trailer was narrated was just so goofy. The characters also seem very goofy.
Excited to see more of:
- Mission design; I need to see what the missions are like and how the game's mechanics are incorporated into objectives and extended gameplay. E3 will be great for this.
- The story. I'm concerned it might be kind of shallow and too goofy for my likings, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

This looks amazing. The last piece of the puzzle will be the actual mission design and side objectives.
If they can nail that, then I see an Xbox One in my future.

Holy shit the gameplay looks fucking amazing.
Wow, this has instantly become my most anticipated next-gen game. I love the idea of amps as a utility.
Combine that with the ultra dynamic nature of the game and it's lifespan that they've talked about and there is some real potential here.

I believe the main thing was that they wanted to retain their IP which is why they started to reach out to different publishers in the first place.

I'm glad it has a full blown single player campaign, hopefully of good length. Can't wait to see what multiplayer has in store for us, I presume it will take place in the same open world?
We know that Sony wants the rights on the IP, that Microsoft doesn't, and that Insomniac cares a lot for their indipendence
The only bad game was resistance 2, and they fixed that with resistance 3. There's no way their games were mediocre. Fuze doesn't even exist
TechnicPuppet
Nothing! I said nothing!
Wasn't the vision as far as I know. Sony would only work with them if they could own the IP which Insomniac didn't want and MS let them keep it.

Oh... well I feel a bit silly now. Thank God though. Hopefully MS will have fixed their upscaler by the time this game releases, you can really tell the difference when you jump between consoles.
It's a shame it isn't 1080p but I guess it's what we have to live with.

Wow this look very good, first game making me consider buying a Xbone.
Ahhhh....makes sense. Is there an article out there that explains it?

Okay, that trailer just sold me on the game. As usual with Insomniac, the weapons are amazing. If they can improve those crappy animations, I'll be super happy.
This game seems like bmore of a system seller to me than Titanfall ever was. Though, a single game is not enough to buy a console for.
Edit: I think the only reason MS let them keep the IP is because they badly wanted an exclusive Insomniac game as like a "Haha, screw you" to Sony.

Actually, you have no idea what Sony said, or did, or offered.

Yes, you're right, but Yamamoto's shikai is probably more powerful than some ban kais haha.
And it looks like it's genuinely leading to a more fun looking game. I mean, this thing looks crazy.

Well that's definitely a check in the XB1 column. I mean wow that was bloody amazing.
I wasn't expecting to like it that much since I'm more of the super serious TLoU/Halo type of gamer. But wow this really pulled me in closer to an XBO. Still needs a price drop but if they do it I think I might jump on board.

A+ looks like Microsoft bagged themselves killer app.
Er...I don't get the love for this. I got an Infamous/Prototype vibe, but more colorful and goofy. Almost felt like I was watching a trailer for a party game or something. And yes I know I haven't controlled it myself but it looked like the controls were sluggish or something.
