	Been a long wait for this game. But , from the looks it is well worth it. I do reckon i will spend my time mostly on this game as soon as i get my hands on it. No games have been catching my eye this year as ill wait for 2018. Check out the outstanding driving of Super GT .

<p>
	Let's run through them:
</p>

<p>
	<u><strong>Xbox One</strong></u>
</p>

<ul><li>
		Earthlock: Festival of Magic (9/1 - 9/15)
	</li>
	<li>
		Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China (9/16 - 9/30)
	</li>
</ul><p>
	<u><strong>Xbox 360</strong></u>
</p>

<ul><li>
		Forza Horizons (9/1 - 9/15)
	</li>
	<li>
		Mirror's Edge (9/16 - 9/30)
	</li>
</ul><p>
	Pretty decent selection I suppose.  I really don't like the staggering of the releases they do though.  Just give them all to us at once.  Anyway, source below if you wanna take a look and learn more.  Bigger question for me is, does anyone here still play on consoles and want me to post more stuff like this?

<p>
	I'm actually excited about this. I hope developers actually start doing this. Would be awesome if it was widely adopted. Potentially make playing together so much easier. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	How great would it be to play a game like Borderlands with a PC, Xbox, and PS player? Would certainly increase the life span of games and potentially make exclusives less likely.

<p><span style="color:#ff8c00;"><strong>If you were on the fence this article might make you jump off lol. Here are some highlights:</strong></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#d3d3d3;"><em>"Xbox One can essentially work like TV that watches you, potentially bringing marketers a huge new trove of data about what's going on in living rooms, including, as one marketer put it after the speech, unprecedented information about how people engage with TV advertising."</em></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#d3d3d3;"><em>"It could have a big impact on pricing," he said, given Xbox One's capacity for seeing whether people are paying attention or how their bodies respond to the ads, said the marketer"</em></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#ff8c00;"><strong>Oh and my favorite:</strong></span></p><p><span style="color:#d3d3d3;"><em>"The new generation of Kinect technology in Xbox One can distinguish up to six voices in a room, respond to voice commands, read skeletal movement, muscle force, whether people are looking at or away from the TV and even their heart rates, Mr. Mehdi said. The latter happens as the camera detects slight changes in skin tone related to dilation of a blood vessel in the eyeball that responds to heart rate, Mr. Mehdi said."</em></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color:#d3d3d3;">Link - </span></p><p><span style="color:#d3d3d3;"><a href="http://adage.com/article/special-report-ana-annual-meeting-2013/xbox-reshape-marketing/244605/" rel="external nofollow">http://adage.com/article/special-report-ana-annual-meeting-2013/xbox-reshape-marketing/244605/</a></span></p>

<p>Hey All,</p><p> </p><p>This game almost got me to purchase. ALMOST! AC 3 got me to impulse buy and I left rather disappointed. It was not the worst game at the time but for an AC game I had higher expectations especially since I enjoyed Ezio's story. The reviews for this game look awesome. 9's flying all over the place with suggestions that all your frustrations with AC3 have been addressed. I gotta say the lure of playing AC IV is strong.</p><p> </p><p>What all these glowing reviews don't address is the way Ubisoft sets this up. Some of it is nothing new like day one DLC which just feels like it might of been cut from the game for that purpose, online micro transactions for multiplayer, and my favorite, an online pass! Lets not forget that if you buy it on PS3 you get an extra hour of content!?! I really hate this kind of thing even though I have both consoles!</p><p> </p><p><strong>This year's online pass is slightly different and goes a step further. There are some single player game features where you can manage your own fleet of ships as you play through the storyline. You can send them on missions to get money and spoils for your cause. Sounds fun right? This feature is gated by the Uplay Passport online pass!! So if your thinking about buying this used down the road and don't have the code because it was used already those features will be locked unless you cough up the extra cash for the pass.</strong></p><p> </p><p>I will be honest and say that I will play this game at some point but based on my past experiences I am going to wait for Black Friday or a price reduction.</p><p> </p><p>You have been warned!</p><p> </p><p>Source:</p><p><a href="http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/10/29/online-pass-required-for-some-assassin-s-creed-iv-single_2d00_player-content.aspx" rel="external nofollow">http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/10/29/online-pass-required-for-some-assassin-s-creed-iv-single_2d00_player-content.aspx</a></p><p> </p><p>edit* - <span style="font-family:tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">Just to clarify, I buy most if not all my games new. I rarely buy used unless it is something older or hard to find. Part of this is that I OCD about disk scratches but I also want to support the devs for a well made game or whatever but some of this DRM stuff and blocked off game content is going too far. I am learning to become more patient on certain games like this one and still buy it brand new when it goes on sale for cheaper.</span></p>
