So I've watched the Microsoft and EA conferences and I might watch Ubisoft & Sony's.

Anyway, I marked out like a bitch at the announcement of Killer Instinct, but it didn't last long when it was announced as being an Xbox One exclusive, but then again, it is a Rare game so I should have expected it.

At the beginning of Microsoft's conference, I was pretty much certain that I wasn't buying the console. It just wasn't doing anything for me and the only way Microsoft could change my mind was if they showed some good games. Killer Instinct is one of those games. I also thought Sunset Overdrive looked interesting and Metal Gear Solid V has gained my interest again. It looks pretty damn good. I lost a tiny bit of interest in it as I had doubts about how good Kiefer Sutherland would be as Snake but from what I heard, he's not bad as Snake.

One main thing that's putting me off from buying an XBox One is the price. It's £429 here and who knows how much a game will cost. If I am to buy it, it may very well be a good bit in the future.

Moving on to EA and I was only watching to see if a certain game was announced. I had to watch the conference right to the end but it was worth it as finally, Mirror's Edge 2 is official!



As the kids say these days, I "lost my shit" at the announcement. I'm so happy it's official but I just hope to God it isn't going to only be on the Xbox One and PS4. I'd be happy if there were also 360 and PS3 versions but then again, I get the feeling that if the game uses the Frostbite 3 engine, it'll need the Xbox One and PS4.
