this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by netflix the xbox one launches titanfall and it's maybe not so exclusive future the status of the last guardian hands on with the new kinect and some great mobile games this week let's get out of controller hello and welcome to controller the weekly TechnoBuffalo show that covers all your gaming news reviews demos and new releases in an easy to digest capsule form I'm your host Ashley skema it's always a big week in gaming so let's start out with the news hey the console wars are now officially in full swing with Microsoft's Xbox one launching to much fanfare last Friday I'll just like the ps4 launch there were some issues plaguing some users including broken online services on Friday some broken disk drives and more but over all those issues affected only a small percentage of buyers and most folks spent their time this weekend enjoying their shiny new Xbox both consoles have sold over 1 million units in their first 24 hours on retail shelves however it's important to note that the ps4 sales were just for the US and Canada well the Xbox one went on sale in 13 countries but we can't really draw any definitive conclusions and some folks who want an Xbox can't get one cuz they're sold out and the UK and a lot of Europe will be getting their hands at a ps4 this Friday November 29th who will win the console wars lots of gamers were super bummed to hear that titanfall a highly anticipated game we saw at e3 this year would never see the light of day on any non Microsoft platform there is a potential light at the end of this dark dark tunnel though as EA executive vice president Blake Jorgensen says we may see titanfall sequels land on multiple platforms which is a reassuring statement for anyone hoping to play a little titanfall in the future on a Playstation 4 or maybe even a steam machine potentially we just have to hope that the initial launch of titanfall is a wild success and warrant some excellent sequels if you do have a Microsoft platform hanging around your place fine followed by hitting xbox 360 xbox on MPC on March 11 2014 now will you be picking up titanfall or were you wait for an inevitable sequel to hit your non-microsoft we've been relatively patient for famed game creator Fumito you ADA's newest game The Last Guardian but it's been six years since we first heard about the project and we haven't seen it in action or heard about it getting canned so what's happening well Uranus says he feels terribly sorry that he's kept the audience waiting so long for the game but that his team is still hard at work completing the beleaguered title well perhaps their work shifted from PlayStation 3 2 PlayStation 4 or maybe something more political is at play but regardless of how you slice it we are dying to check this game out you ate as previous efforts with the masterful beautiful game eco and one of my favorite PlayStation 2 games ever shadow of the colossus so I think this will be a wait well worth it but let's hope we don't end up with like a Duke Nukem Forever situation because it's like 14 let's play as a feature on our gaming channel where a member of our writing staff plays a game and talks about it over the footage but this week we did something a little bit different and yours truly at our own jon rettinger checked out the xbox one's new and
