[GBA rocks]

so wait what are they offering what wont be ripped and able to watch online???
considering i dont watch any sports and COD isnt a game for me... guess the xbox offers me nothing
maybe E3 games will save them

I was being sarcastic. I couldn't care less about halo tv series, movies or books.

 

[Gahars]

I missed the conference to unpack and futiley attempt to chase a wasp out of my car.

I think that was a better use of my time.

I was hoping you were being sarcastic, especially with the mention of sweat on the foreheads. I've said this since the Dreamcast came out - if the future of gaming is ultra-realism, then leave me out of it.

So basically all Moneysoft has done is make people who don't have a PC go OOOOH that looks important and useful, "CoDrones" go OOOH EXPLOSIONS AND DOGs, and have found another way to make my fellow poor gamers angry... Looks like I'll be watching all their exclusive games on the Youtubez..

Funny thing is people have been bashing the Wii U but the Wii U announcement made me more excided and go "wow" a lot more than M$ did..

 

[crysalim]

Can I have a list of those commercial devices (makers, model numbers and such) -- little touches my vintage PC running MythTV. Compare that to modern XBMC and proper setup there and it is not even close.

Honestly don't even know what you're getting at here. I pointed out how already existing solutions can be superior, and you're seemingly agreeing with me - but your tone makes it sound like you don't (?).

Thank you Microsoft . . .

. . . for taking the SystemDoom spotlight away from WiiU.

I disagree. XBox One's new tagline should be "Xbox One - we tried hard to fail and we're still better than the Wii U".

The presentation was terrible - it's a gaming console and yet the spotlight was put not on the gaming-related hardware capabilities or the library but on some TiVo-like features. It's definitely something aimed at the mass consumer rather than the core gamer, and the shape reflects that - the console looks like something you put next to a TV, but not necessarily like a gaming system. My thoughts:

• The gamepad looks great as always, love the sticks, love the idea of Force Feedback on the triggers, not just rumble - I'm eager to see how it fares in everyday use.
• Enhanced Kinect brings some new possibilities - I like the idea of lifting the controller to use a shield, I just hope game designers will utilize those new features well. The muscle use simulation is great, motion tracking appears to work very well (although even on the presentation there were some glitches - I'm talking about the 3D cube-based wireframe show, the hands were way off when she lifted her arms up) but the question is whether it's over-engineering or not. The tech is no doubt more expensive to manufacture than the PlayStation Eye and simple coloured lights will achieve the same effect for the shield example as the Kinect will, except much cheaper. This is interesting, but may negatively impact the price of the system.
• Having three OS'es, two of'em usable by the user is a great idea. Metro Snap is a fantastic feature - you can have a, say, walkthrough on one side of the screen and the game on the other - it's nuts. Here's where the problems start - it will eat resources. The Windows kernel, even streamlined for just gaming will take about 200 megs of RAM even when it's not doing anything and this amount will only increase as it is given tasks. The XBox kernel will likely take more than that, even in standby. The third OS that controls the on-screen window management and switching will probably be extremely tiny, but all three have to work separately to achieve the fluidity as shown on the presentation, preferably on separate CPU cores. This means that the CPU will be doing a lot of tasks in the background and although it won't impact gaming negatively for the first few years, it very well may later on.
• Hate the design of the system - it looks like a VCR from the 1990'ties although I do get the point of shaping it this way. Microsoft wants to appeal to a broad demographic, not just gamers. They want to market this device as a true All-in-One entertainment platform and that's a great idea on paper - here's for hoping that they'll manage to do so as it's virtually impossible to please everyone.

Overall, the system is interesting... but what was shown was not justifying the hype of a global announcement. I'm disappointed, I'd rather if they showed all this on E3 rather than divide a of content that they have into two bite-sized parts.
Final Notes: "Experience (...) Experience (...) Experience (...) Content (...) Experience (...) Experience (...) Kinect (...) Experience (...) Content (...) Content (...)"

 

[Hielkenator]

I fear for my privacy with this system.
Also I have a PC, where do I need all that other bullcrap for?
HOW is this still a gaming console?
I a F**king ""entertainement center. Jesus I do not have time to all that other crap, I need to go to work too.
WTF a fee for 2nd hand games?
Suddenly the WiiU and Nintendo looks A LOT BETTER EVEN WITHOUT ANY GAMES.

In essence it's like a hacked console but , unhacked.

Considering Xbox One is supposed to come before Xbox 360, I'm not surprised.

I just can't wait to hear what Guild has to say about all this

Terrible news to add to the list of major negative things about the Xbox One, Microsoft giving everyone the shaft.

Reviewtechusa was right about the upcoming generation, it's going to be extremely unfriendily to the consumer, less gamer pandering, and will be nowhere nearly as good as past generations.

 

[crysalim]

Man... this next generation isn't going very well... what the hell is happening? are console going to DIE?

I honestly share your fears.

However I know things will evolve even if the big 3 all mess up their next generation. It's taking way too long for new systems to come with decent software. It's a product of the times - ginormous dev budgets and ridiculously long development cycles.

 

[kristianity77]

Well I was looking forward to the xbox presentation more than the others but to be honest, that was absolutely piss poor! Did we actually see anything real time gaming wise apart from about 45 seconds of COD?

The skype thing was never live either you could tell. Too little said, too scripted.

Totally 100% geared towards american audiences. That conference was more about NFL than anything else, way to sell a next gen xbox!

 

[Eerpow]

Problem with the media focus is that entertainment services such as hulu, netflix and other movie/TV services either exist in a severely limited form or in most cases not at all elsewhere in the world.
So much for calling it a "all in one" system when those features are things many people outside of the US won't get to experience. Another bad point I want to bring up is the way they handle used games, if true it won't result in anything other than bad business for them. Other things they announced were boring really like the kinect thing or the EA partnership, meh.
That's the negatives, and the positives?
Well the 15 exclusive games seems like a sweet deal if done right, considering it's a gaming system that's a pretty big positive. E3 can't come any sooner to show what that's all about.

OMG MICROSOFT IS DOOOOOOOOOOMED!

Now serioously, thats a fugly looking console.
I had a black VCR in 95 that looked somewhat like this so called "xbox one".

Sadly I am independent and no fanboy of any shit... even if I just like ONE game on the new "xbox one", I will probably end up buying the console.. alongside the PS4 and already owned Wii U.

No used games ? Sad for my little bro, who gets the used stuff from me.

 

[RedCoreZero]

Consumer: ONE?Hmmmmm, maybe 360 has all features. *Buys 360*

 

[Deleted member 473940]

You would think these big companies would come up with a better name...

 

[weavile001]

Relevant to the thread:

everyone is mad about the new xbox....

 

[Jamstruth]

Consumer: ONE?Hmmmmm, maybe 360 has all features. *Buys 360*

I doubt this will ever happen. There seems to be enough distinction in the announcement unlike the Wii vs WiiU and DS vs 3DS thing.

 

[Ryupower]

Microsoft: Xbox One isn't always online, but requires internet connection

so MS is saying
it not always online,, but you need you need to have an Internet connection ,is that right?
