Xbox One Gets Booed Out At EVO 2013

[calmwaters]

I'm not surprised; it's culturally acceptable to hate Microsoft for what they did with the Xbox One. We clamored for them to remove the restrictions, and then, somebody started clamoring to bring the restrictions back. So everyone started signing it to express their hate for Microsoft... again. Getting booed at a tournament is just another nail in their coffin. It's sounding like they'll never forgive Microsoft for what they did. There will be another hate outbreak for them; I guarantee it.

ERm...I won't speak on the other games you mention, but...Donkey Kong Country actually had good level design. It's been a while since I played 1 and 2 (though not THAT long), but they were more than decent. Varied, thrilling, not too long or frustratingly hard, a good amount of tricks and hidden stuff, fun minigames... Okay, perhaps it won't win the prize of "best design ever"...but which platformer can claim that title?

(and it's pretty hard to separate the level design from the music or the then-ahead-of-times graphics).

The original DKC had really lame level design in my opinion. Just to see the first world I got impressed to see how all the jungle levels looked so much alike, I never ended the game because I found it so boring. DKC2 though had levels very distinct one from another it just seemed more focused and it's my personal favorite. DKC3 was also really good, I have yet to play it another time.

Yo yo yo, I'm a douche bag and I'm adopting trendy, stereo typical street dialog to push my quasi quality products upon the the empty heads of youth, and adults arrested in development. Check it yo, I'm wearing a joystick as a necklace in vein of Flava Flave cause unlike Flava, I have no originality what so ever so I must bite his style that it has become a well recognize pop icon item.
Sighh...

A few people can make an awfully loud noise. Personally I can't see MS giving an F.

 

[Deferet]

sounds like Microsoft might be xboned

 

[wolf-snake]

well last thing i've heard it was that KI was going to be free to play but you'll just get 1 character and you need to buy the rest of them.
that seems worse than capcom itself and capcom had made pretty stupid stuff before. maybe that's why they booed the xbone

 

[jonesman99]

They never stated how many characters you get for free to play. However I don't think it will be very many, nor will this micro transaction thing work, especially on the XBone

 

[grossaffe]

They're not saying 'boo', they're saying 'BooOne'

They boo-ed at the moment they said they had "a good partnership with microsoft". I'd say that part of the audience was dead set on not getting that console.

Likewise, I can predict some boo-ing if bayonetta 2 developers telling at a gaming convention how they like the arragements they have with nintendo.

 

[RedCoreZero]

This news was so normal that everyone got bored and started to talk about Rare.

 

[Sop]

In the meantime can I point you at


As for the matter at hand I suppose I will go with the usual "hah competitive games" and "hah competitive fighting games".

Conker's BFD is really good.

 

[Obveron]

The booing really cut-off the presenters stride. Killer Instinct and Xbox One is a combo worth breaking.

Presenters: Yo Yo Yo, Killer Instinct.
Audience: ....
Presenters: Yo Yo Yo, Xbox One.
Audience: C-C-Combo Breaker!
Presenters: .... Yo Yo Yo?

Purification in process...
(Note: the booers are the spectres.)

Frankly, I think that the Durango is the new Justin Bieber... or the new furry fandom... something that is just fashionable to hate indiscriminately without actually seeing for yourself how bad is this. This is less pro-Durango/pro-Justin/pro-furry but more 'think and see for yourself this time.'

 

[schmooblidon]

I can't speak for the crowd but I'd boo more for the exclusive part. Just feels like a way to make the huge and growing community, pressured into buying an xbone.

 

[Hielkenator]

HEY GUYS THE ORIGINAL RARE TEAM WAS GENIUSES!

Too bad most of their games are actually pretty... not expertly designed. Donkey Kong Country didn't have good level design, Banjo Kazooie didn't have good level design, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark didn't have good level design (well Perfect Dark ranged from "interesting levels" to "convoluted as fuck"). They were good at making A) collect-a-thon platformers that people loved because you just collected shit B) memorable music and C) a single fun multiplayer game (Perfect Dark which blows Goldeneye out of the water by leaps and bounds). Most of them have since quit the industry or are off working for other developers.

I'm just saying that their games weren't really known for being well designed, just for being "memorable".

Oh man, were you in a depression when playing those games?

 

[Clydefrosch]

I'd expect them to boo because its an exclusive... probably would have booed if it was for ps4 or wiiu only as well.

Yes, a new proper Banjo Kazooie game.
This is the only thing that would make me get a X-Bone.

I found building cars to be much more fun than playing those n64 games

 

[Danny600kill]

It's just crowd mentality, a small group start booing and everyone joins in, I bet half of them had an XboxOne pre-ordered ...

 

[narutofan777]

Should the possibility arise I would boo the xbone.

 

[--=ZerO=--]

I would boo it too.

Microsoft has shown its real face. They can't simply turn back time. We know now what they do think about us.

There's plenty of people buying xbox one if it has the DRM they mentioned at first and there's also plenty of people who wouldn't buy one that now will because they said that they won't do that DRM stuff. So yeah I agree.

I'm not against microsoft and the DRM thing didn't chage my mind. I was going to try PS4 this time. But now I am having second thoughts and I think the Wii U has better games than those 2 consoles combined.
