QuoteAfter years of build up, a Microsoft representative finally spilled the beans on Microsoft's upcoming new gaming console. Speaking to The Verge on a recent podcast, Microsoft general manager Brian Hall mentioned "the new Xbox" when discussing Microsoft Outlook.
Nothing new since it was a given. What we need is info about it. Probably by next E3, with Sony doing the same most likely.
Ehh, now I'm going to have to spend more money to keep up with Halo...
Cool news for the gamers, though.
Think I'll save up for it, but unless halo 5 is announced for it, or they just flat out stop making new 360 games, I'll probably hold off on getting it as long as possible. I only just got my 360, and want to use it as much as I can.
This time I'll get the PS4 first, instead of the new Xbox. I don't like the way MS are headed with all this kinect crap. Sony have so much more and better exclusives for the past 2 years. MS are just screwing it up, sadly. I just hope the PS4 controller is better than this old piece of shit which didn't changed since '95 at all.

Didn't the PS3 originally have a different controller, but people complained about it so it went back to the old version?
The boomerang controller you mean? I thought it's just a concept.
Oh, I don't know for sure. I just remember seeing those pictures, and then seeing the traditional controller.
Microsoft tries to deny confirmation of the new X-Box.
QuoteWe know there's a new Xbox console coming in some form as surely as we know that when a tree falls in the forest it still makes a sound even if nobody is around to hear it. We're just not quite sure why Microsoft is so reticent to acknowledge even the mere plan for its existence at some point in the future.

QuoteWe've heard rumors about Microsoft's Blu-ray plans and an anti-used-game system before, but an activation system coupled with an online requirement sounds like a key way to prevent piracy for the next-generation of console games. If Microsoft locks out the second-hand market for its next Xbox console then that will not sit well with a number of gamers, so we'd hope that Microsoft has plans to support game sharing somehow.
Stupid thing to do if this is true. It's understandable why...but it's really not good for the consumers who want to either sell the games, or just play the game somewhere else...what the hell would happen if you had to buy a new X-Box because the one you own doesn't work anymore? Dumb.

Yeah, they're just trying to find ways to shaft us, now. I'm sure Microsoft earned a couple of profitable bucks with the 360, greedy motherf**kers.
Not sure if I am going to get this when it comes out. I am happy with my clunky one for the time being. When that dies I'll most likely drift away from gaming.

QuoteMicrosoft's next Xbox, AKA Durango, will have much better speech detection, according to sources at the Verge. That includes natural language detection, which will allow the Xbox to process normal speech patterns, similar to Apple's Siri. So, for example, instead of saying "Xbox, play 3," you might simply say, "Xbox, where can I watch The X-Files?"
f**kin' bullshit about the always online thing.
I actually haven't given a care about the next wave of consoles, but this news I keep hearing only encourages me to stick with my 360.
Yep, this is all just sounding ridiculous.
Its like they're doing absolutely nothing to cater towards more casual gamers who don't want to blow all of their money on this thing.
I have come to call it "The Dictator of Gaming History".
What if when the next Xbox comes out and it has a different online setup do you think they will cut-off the XBL for 360 users like they did with the original Xbox? thus forcing people to make the change.

Wouldn't be surprised. It'd be stupid on their part if they released a new console but didn't force it on people. they're her to make money, after all.

It'd also be a big middle figure to all their customers that bought the Xbox for online play. I disagree that it would be stupid if they didn't do it, it would show good will towards their customers and certainly improve their image, which is a pretty bad one at the moment.

You know, I'm trying... but I just don't buy it. That would be catastrophic.
Same...that'd be ridiculous. A lot of people buy games after friends bring them over to try out. Microsoft would just be shooting themselves (and the game studios) in the foot.

The new Xbox will fail game wise I think. Most of the devs went for PS3 during the recent years because of the casual plans of MS. They don't have an exclusives to provide. They were relying on Gears and Halo but they are done so..

Surely can't be true? Think of all the consoles sold for people who dont have access to internet. Hell alot of consoles are sold for young kids and theyre never connected to the internet. My sister has a PS3 and 360 in her house and she has 3 kids, all under the age of 8 and neither console is connected to the internet simply because they dont need it to be. They just play the games on it and thats it.
I know why arnt they thinking about the audience who don't have internet ? or wish not to use the internet ? its not fair.
but you could also argue that mostly everyone uses internet now days and they are always constantly connected to either Xbox Live or PSN no matter what game they are playing to sign in to there profiles.

Doesnt matter how big the percentage of gamers are online, theres still a large number of customers they will alienate with a move like that.
Hell even people who have internet. Say youre having problems with internet in your home and it takes a while to sort out. You can't even pop in a single player game while its getting sorted? f**k that.

Oh yeah, they will. But it shouldn't have to be that way.
I'm very curious to hear MS talk about all this and how it will exactly work in the coming months (E3, etc.). While I am someone who always has the net on, there are times when it's down and I am still able to play single player games etc. Imagine on this NextBOX if it doesn't allow that. That would be a real shame. Also it will then be more "PCish" when it comes to used games, meaning pretty much no used games.
On PC you can buy a whole new account with "used" games and the games are cheaper too so I don't think anybody cares about that on PC. Most of the games can be bought for damn cheap from various key suppliers which kinda eliminates the need to sell your "used" games because you will get little to nothing.
I'm pretty much done with the Xbox brand. Loved the original system. Great machine, never had problems, awesome games. 360 is unreliable as hell. There are so many goddamn problems with mine that idk why I haven't just buried it yet. The power brick crapped out so I have a fan blowing air into it so it wont overheat, I have to eject and reposition game discs so they'll f**kin' read, and the disc tray wont open if there's nothing in it. So, quite frankly, f**k Microsoft, f**k always online, and f**k paying 60 bucks to play online. I'm done with their shit. I literally only still have the damn thing because I have a lot of games on it and none of my friends own a PS3.

Yup that guy IS a prick. But I'd be pissed too. I don't believe it quite yet, though. Even though more info keeps surfacing about it being true, i think it would be a really stupid idea. We're not quite there yet. Just as Sony expressed that we're not at the "download only games" position yet(internet speeds varying per customer is an issue for them too though). For almost the same reason. While abundant, internet connection is not something everybody has. For it to demand it is ridiculous.

I'm not surprise that this is happening since online gaming with consoles pretty much took over since 2006. I think that I might have the PS4 be my main console since I do like to play offline when I'm at the beach during a rainy day.

I have no idea what the f**k the subscription model even is, or why it's cheaper.
I think its something for the US only. You sign a subscription like for your mobile operator and you pay monthly for it, thats why the console is so "cheap".

Interesting developments, Ive only had ps1 and 2, then had xbox and 360.... If they go this route Ill probably go PS4. Forcing a consumer to have no options just alienates the consumer. Dont care what games are coming out.

Pretty cool that they found a way to make 360 supportable on the Durango...
I need to wait, and see how the Durango will play out before I pass any further judgement.

Nice! I am really looking forward to see how MS will counter SONY.
These next two months will certainly be interesting to say the least. While I'm leaning towards the PS4 being my first next-gen console of choice, MS's response does have me curious.
It's on like Backgammon.
I'm really interested to see what they'll be doing this time around.

Doubt it.
The new consoles are made closer to the PC architecture more than ever so the most of the next gen games will be multiplatfrom with PC as the leading platform.
It is easier to make things now that the consoles are more powerful but what about the exclusives? Especially Nintendo?
Hope its backwards compatible for 360 games, that's a must.

Isn't it only Halo and Gears pretty much? Buying a console for 2 or 3 games sucks. I'm sure they're working on new exclusives but who knows when those will be out.
We may assume its over with the Gears' so the new Xbox is down to more Halo milking and Forza. Thats it pretty much for it. MS are taking VERY casual approach for their exclusives and most devs are moving to SONY.
Yeah Sony has quite a few exclusives now, I noticed.
So I heard they confirmed always online for the next Xbox.

last time i heard something was just a rumor was when they were going to make Twilight Sparkle a princess and I dismissed it. I'm not making that mistake again man. not again.
IF Microsoft decides to do online only then I can see this really hurting them. There is a huge number of people in the world who have 360s that are not hooked up to the internet or who have dial up still. Heck a large amount of people in the midwest USA do not have reliable internet still in 2013. The broadband infrastructure badly needs an upgrade.
If they do this then they really risk losing users. Sony and Nintendo may end up getting a user boost. Sony may end up the winner again, for the first time since the PS2/PSX days.
I cannot see why MS would do this other than being online for advertisers. I don't think piracy is that bad on the 360. I'd imagine it would be even lower on the 720 since games are going to be even bigger due to Blu-Ray's 25+ GB storage vs DVDs 4.7-8.7GB.
Looks like Sony have learned from the mistakes of the last generation, while Microsoft is creating new mistakes.
Do not have a clue why Microsoft is doing this they should just look back at the mistakes Sony made that pissed off the fan base. They went from clear number one to number three. So it will be very easy for Microsoft to go from a close number two to a distant number three this generation.
A bit of a shame really as i have been playing my Xbox more than my Ps3 lately do to preferring the Xbox controller for FPS and playing online. But i still like to play offline, i like watching Blu rays but since this generation both consoles have blu rays it will not influence my decision.

It does seem like in the next gen the roles have reversed,PS4 being likely the dominant next gen format I mean whilst the next xbox seems to becoming the next PS3 (having loads of problems I mean). still, I'm waiting for May 21st and E3 before it becomes clear which console becomes the better choice for me.
The only mistake of PS3 was the fact it was ahead of its time. The cell processor was so advanced the devs are getting used to it just now. This resulted in many multiplatform titles being cut for the PS3 and left to 360 and PC only. Then the titles who were ported to the PS3 were poorly optimized for the Cell because its complex and time consuming job to reach its full potential. The multiplatform titles for PS3 are looking bad and they have technical problems of all sorts - low fps, freezing etc. All this is due to the complex of the Cell, the devs are using barely 10% of it and only the exclusive titles are showing its full power.
That was the mistake of SONY - they developed something brilliant, unfortunately most of the devs were lazy to learn how to use its full potential.
Now SONY are going mainstream with slightly enhanced PC processor made by AMD and this is a smart move because the games will be very similar to their PC counterparts (even the same in the start of the gen though).
Next Generation Xbox to Support Blu-rayQuote
The next generation Xbox will allow consumers to play Blu-ray disc, play single-player games offline, and watch live TV. At least this is what our friends at Ars Technica appear to have been able to confirm after obtaining a copy of an internal Microsoft memo. The memo was apparently sent to all full-time employees working on the next Xbox.
Here's the text from the memo confirming that the Xbox will support Blu-ray playback which was published by Ars Technica:
"Durango [the codename for the next Xbox] is designed to deliver the future of entertainment while engineered to be tolerant of today's Internet. There are a number of scenarios that our users expect to work without an Internet connection, and those should 'just work' regardless of their current connection status. Those include, but are not limited to: playing a Blu-ray disc, watching live TV, and yes playing a single player game."
Microsoft will officially introduce the next Xbox during an event at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Wash., on May 21.

There wont be "after" the new box. It will bring MS to massive failure and slow death.

Man those graphics looked pretty impressive.
I jumped in at EA.
Did they show anything interesting before that I might have missed? I know it's called Xbox One or something like that.
The Forza thing at least looked better than EA's cgi shit thing.
The only thing you missed was a pre-rendered video with famous people and game developers related to Xbox. And the reveal of the actual console as well as some kinect stuff.
So we actually got to see the console?
Also, Quantum Break; Has my attention.
Yeah, got to see the new console, controller and kinect.

Its not like MS to have anything left to promote ::)
That Halo announcement blew all of the X-Box One stuff of of the water.
My God am I so excited.
Where are the games MS? Forza 5 and snippets of a new Remedy game doesn't do much to excite me. Seriously I'm not buying a new console just to watch tv. >:(
On the plus side, the console looks swank but they were cagey about actual tech specs apart from having 8gb of ram.
Overall a pretty lousy showing, yeah I know E3 is around the corner but so far this has just been a load of Hot air, corporate buzzwords and a load of nothing else.
At least Sony did it right, show the games and not the console whilst MS showed the console and not the games.
You see those high resolution arms, gais?

has no games.
Ironic that their best announcement wasn't even specifically for the Xbox One. :P
:'(
I liked it, we haven't really seen all that much, the potential for developers is now increased because they can use more powerful technology.
Piece of shit conference. Nothing interesting.
Getting a PS4 as my first Next gen console is pretty much a given unless MS pulls a blinder at E3.

QuoteThere's one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console's hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.
Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. "On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play," the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.
What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.
Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.
But what if a second person simply wanted to put the disc in and play the game without installing – and without paying extra? In other words, what happens to our traditional concept of a "used game"? This is a question for which Microsoft did not yet have an answer, and is surely something that game buyers (as well as renters and lenders) will want to know.
And what of the persistent rumors that Xbox One games will be "always online" – that is, that single-player games would require a constant online connection to function? As it turns out, those rumors were not unfounded, but the reality is not so draconian. Xbox One will give game developers the ability to create games that use Microsoft's Azure cloud computing service, which means that they might be able to offload certain computing tasks to the cloud rather than process them on the Xbox One hardware itself. This would necessitate the game requiring a connection.
Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but "I hope they do." So the always-online future may come in incremental steps.
Guess gamestop is dead.

I think I'll pass. The Controller looks kinda nice, and the console itself is ok. But I don't care about TV, Kinect, surfing the internet or whatever on my console. No used games is a big no thank you. I am planning on getting a PS4, but if they end up going the same route with used games I'll pass on that as well.

Ya'know, the more I think about this the more disappointed I'm getting. I do not care at all about the Kinect TV/internet/whatever stuff, the lack of used games and fees for playing on other XBoxs just pisses me off (RIP used video game market), and I'm sure the prices are going to be through the roof (wouldn't be surprised if the cost of each game and the cost of Live increase).... :-\
Cal and KNIGHT were definitely right in saying that the best announcement of the session wasn't even directly related to the console.

QuoteUpdate: Jon Hicks, the editor of Official Xbox magazine, has claimed that pre-owned games will be un-installed from the previous owner's system and installed onto another's. It is not clear if this process would negate a pre-owned fee.
Ouch, there goes letting friends borrow games.

Update 2: Microsoft has neither confirmed nor denied the report in a statement offered to Venturebeat.
"We are designing the Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games," a Microsoft spokesperson said, adding: "We'll have more details to share later".
The comment effectively means that the claim regarding a pre-owned fee is not inaccurate.

But it doesn't have to be "always on". On xbox.com, Microsoft addressed this issue among other pressing questions saying, "It does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet. We're designing Xbox One to be your all-in-one entertainment system that is connected to the cloud and always ready. We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection."
Basically it sounds like they are going down the steam route with this.
Backwards compatible?
What about all those X-Box Arcade games we downloaded?
Have they been rendered bad investments?

I agree with him entirely.
So it can play used games now?

Sounds like damage control, unless Microsoft's vice president is a liar.
Quote"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."
"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.
"Let's assume it's a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.
But that doesn't mean used games are dead. In fact, Harrison told us, you'll be able to sell your Xbox One games online.
"We will have a solution—we're not talking about it today—for you to be able to trade your previously-played games online," Harrison said.

So if you buy a used game you have to buy it twice. The physical disc from the seller, and then the right to use the content on the disc from Mcrosoft...
Guess this is their way of getting rid of physical media. The X-Box 4 (hell, maybe even the X-Box One towards the middle of its lifecycle) is almost certainly going to do away with discs entirely.
ONE, IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER THAT YOU'LL EVER DOOOO~

QuoteKotaku: If I'm playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?

The event was even more underwhelming than Sony's. And it's true how IGN pointed out that they went their separate ways. MS for the more "Entertainment hub" console, and Sony is sticking with the hardcore gamers.

At this point there are no benefits to owning an XBone compared to playing on the PC (Sorry, not even personal opinions/gaming preferences can save this new xbox).
So yeah, I also agree you.
Yep - PS4 for its exclusives and PC for everything else. Lolbox for the CoD kids and the rest of 12 year olds.

Naturally the first thing people move towards to is Killer Instinct...I f**king wish, but it's never going to happen.
Right now my sights are on a new Xbox 360...
If I eventually get a next generation console I'll probably get a PS4 (my first playstation ever mind you) depending on how many gaming buddies get it, as I'm a multiplayer fella.
It'd mean leaving behind cool things like Halo, but it's not like I'm being given much choice. Personally I think that to get Xbox One solely for Halo would be a dumb move. I'm hoping Destiny will either be on Xbox 360 or PS4.
As far as I know Destiny is planned as multiplatform title. MS are no longer restricting Bungie to release their games on other platforms so..

current systems could run all this shit. lol..next gen...haha.
Yes this is the funniest stuff - all big sharks are advertising their NEXT GEN engines but their technical statistics (and even the release of some of the "next gen" games) can be handles by the current gen consoles :laugh: ??? They are doing this for all the people who don't know shit about the systems, their specs etc. Its like BMW you know - they are advertising it as the ultimate driving machine - its good then. They are advertising the new engines are NEXT GEN - sure they are ::)
The industry these days... I really really want to see EA and the other funny guys advertising the same stuff the same way back in the 90s where the industry was run by nerds and not kids, adult "gamers" girl "gamers" and co. Those would be some good times ::)
So this is the X-Box One???? The name is almost as disappointing as the look of this thing, my old VCR looks better. Plus no backwards compatible mode and you gotta pay extra for used games... such an anti-climax!

Yes. It was indeed.
Calling it XBOX ONE isn't good business sense... like seriously? we all know its XBOX 3 lol but they don't want to sound weak compared to PS4
but then again they call it XBOX ONE? they should of just called it XBOX 720
X-BOX ONE makes sense as a name, in my opinion. A 360 is a circle, or a '0'. The natural successor to '0' is '1'.

I can, Microsoft seem to be appealing to tech nuts, gimmick lovers and anyone that just does not play games, no wonder they're all loving it.
The fact it can play games was thrown in like an afterthought, why they even bothered inviting a bunch of game journalists out there is beyond me.

Apparently you can play used games, but after paying a fee per used game. The amount is not yet known.
Even my loyal Xbox 360 friends are shitting over this console. It doesn't look impressive; I wonder if Sony will take advantage and really show off the PS4.

Im not buying it.
I gotta say, I'm moving towards the PC side of things. The fact that I've actually bought my first PC game (X-Com) since I bought AvP 2 back in 2007, is surely telling me something. I'll still buy the PS4, for my own reasons, but jesus.

As far as I understood the engine is basically the same but its no longer upscaled from 720p to 1080p. Its 1080p in its core and thats it. Everything else appears to be the same. Which means no dynamic lighting to cast those sunshafts so they have to put them manually ::)

Whenever I have been around people today I have uncontrollably ranted about how f**king stupid Microsoft and the Xbox One are, despite the fact I'm losing my voice a bit. I am that deep into rant mode.
I should probably chill now for the sake of my own well being.
All the ranting reminds me of the PS3 launch. When're you all going to ditch your kiddyboxes and join the PC elite?
Very f**king soon...

The thing is - PC gaming really
isn't some financial elite. Odds are most gamers will have some form of computer anyway, for exactly what we're doing right now. Making your machine a proper gaming setup (either by upgrade or, preferably, the next time you're shopping for a new comp), over the base comp cost, will be roughly equivalent to a next-gen console. And then the actual games you buy are generally
cheaper.
I just prefer gaming on a couch with a controller in my hands.
I've tried PC gaming.
It just wasn't as fun.
So I've just been watching some videos of people ranting about this and I'm hearing its also not backwards compatible.
From what I'm hearing its gonna ruin the Xbox?
On the plus side, a halo tv series! C:
(Also if it does turn out to be complete crap and halo is still staying exclusive then I'm only buying it for halo, I love the series to much :/ )

I.. want to agree..
But I'm not sure it would be worth it, almost. I gladly got my 360 solely for the Halo games, but I might wait to see how this new trilogy goes to tell if its worth it, and get the Xbox at a lower price.

I am a PC gamer, and before me I see gamers of all consoles and clans in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free gamers---and free gamers you are.
What will you do with that freedom? Will you support this new wave of mediocrity? Will you remain silent and purchase only good games thinking this will be enough? It might be...for a while.
But would you be willing to trade all of your consoles for once chance---just one chance to tell Microsoft that they may take our ways of life --they may take away features we cannot do without, but they will never take our

We don't give a damn, if we play games on consoles, or PC, or whatever the f**k, we don't care. We just play games, that's it. Doesn't matter what we play them on. Just be honest, and tell us that you just want people to play online with on your PC, because I don't understand what this sales pitch you've been doing for who knows how long is anything other than trying to ask us to come join a game with you or something.

Nazi Germany had EVERYTHING better during the WW2 period. Their planes, rifles, tactics, tanks, everything was way ahead of its time for that time period. Nazi Ger lost because Hitler decided to attack Russia too early and couldn't handle the zerg rush after that. If he just settled down for a few years, everything to calm down and then to attack Russia, everything would go in totally different direction. This have nothing to do with the superior German weaponry. It was still better. Most of the modern day weapons are replicas of Nazi weapons - AK47 i rip off of the STG44, the US M60 is basically a modified MG42. The German designs are being used for decades after the WW2.
Also you are calling me an elitist but you are the elitists. The elitist believes that his system is better but he don't know why. I KNOW EXACTLY WHY the PC is better. So am not an elitist. You are the ones stating the consoles are better but you don't know why. They are better because you say so it seems. Yeah ::)

You got the elitist thing backwards. Not one of us has ever said consoles are better, we have however made it pretty damn clear we give 0 f**ks about it, we'll pick whatever the hell we want. Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, PC, bravo for whatever is picked. You on the other hand are always shoving this "PC is superior" crap down our throats and hounding us over the most petty bullshit when we don't give a flying f**k.
And with that, I say we move the conversation back to the X-Box UNO. Any posts talking about anything other than this will be deleted by me, at least until I go to sleep.
I mother flippin' agree.
So, who would get Xbox One only because of Halo?
I wouldn't. I am going to go against what I say about finishing what I start, because there is no way that Halo 5 is going to make me buy X-Box UNO. f**k that, not even the combined power of Halo 5 and Killer Instinct 3 would make me shell out money.

In anger, I'd say I would, but in all honesty, I'll likely end up getting both, just one about a half year after the other (or whenever exclusive release demand for a game comes into effect). The reasons I have for currently sticking with Xbox are few and shallow: Halo, Xbox Live, amount of friends that will likely stick with Xbox, and more Halo.
Well I am in the line of thinking that it's fair to say that all of us will be playing Destiny on the 360 rather than on the UNO, or am I wrong in thinking this?
Well anybody who has moved on to the next gen, either through PS4 or XO, will be playing it on there, I can assure you that.

The scary thing for me is how many people will stick to Xbox, because I'm a multiplayer fella so if I do go to PS4 but not many gaming buddies do the same then I'll be in quite a pickle.
It's the reason why I'm only worrying more about xbox 360 right now while it still has some life in it. When I see who gets what console I might go with the greater herd, because again I like my multiplayer gaming buddies. If it ends up being Xbox then my response may be unpredictable at this time, but probably not optimistic for sure.
I'd like to say I want both (Xbox just to play with buddies), but I'm someone who is careful with money and will most likely make a "choose one, never get the other" choice.
Destiny, might be a 360 choice for me. Too early to tell.
I am really leaning toward PS4 though, I don't know how many times I've said this but it'd be my first playstation.

QuoteXbox One will be HDMI only, won't work on non-HDTVs
The thing that's scary is they're appealing to the casual market and the higher class, which most times is full of ignorant people (that's not an insult btw). Microsoft put all this copy-protection nonesense and (probably) always online crap in their console which they know hardcore gamers aren't going to like, so they do a presentation appealing to casual people, TV-philes, families, high income earners, etc. They also show a snippet of COD to let us know it CAN be a gaming machine for those XBoX fans that are concerned. All around, I think it's actually a smart strategy from Microsoft. The casual market they're appealing to is much more profitable and likely to follow trends rather than decide for themselves. Hardcore gamers that want the best for the industry can't compete with that. And then there's the whole thing of some people wanting to stick to what they know and needing to keep their XBox friends and flocking together... I wouldn't be surprised if this thing out-sold PS4 on launch.

I mother flippin' agree.
So, who would get Xbox One only because of Halo?
I don't know, honestly...I really don't know. I need more information first.
But at the moment I'm not sure I can justify spending all that money just for Halo. Heck, I was debating this even before I knew anything about the console, just because lately I haven't even been using my 360 all that much. :-\
Pretty much this. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Has Microsoft responded to this negative feedback?

They called people who wanted backwards comparability backwards. Beyond that, I have no idea.
There's seriously no way this can be real. This has to be part of some massive marketing strategy. This is just... awojnmeowunoeanifrega

I love it XD
So here it is.
I won't be buying Xbox One.
The kicker for me is the inability to play arcade titles from Xbox 360. THAT shouldn't be a hardware/backwards compatibility issue! It's a shameless attempt to choke off a resource so that somewhere down the line they can charge you for it again. And again and again and again and again. This ends here for me.
I won't be buying anymore Xbox 360 arcade games either. It's like buying goldfish and putting them in a fishbowl that has a diminishing and un-rewnewable amount of water.
I honestly hope this system TANKS embarrassingly and others will learn from this insolence.

Little late to the party i know but i gotta comment on this.
I watched the reveal live like most people,and for the first hlaf hour or so i realized that the speaker was talking to us like we were bordroom members.Just listing off random specs and crap like we are company execs.
You can make a drinking game out of the many time they say revolution or revolutionalize.Its apparent that microsoft did not listen to consumer feedback,why the crap would i want to surf the internet and watch TV on a GAMING CONSOLE?(apparently you still need a seprate cable box to hook it up to)
Ever since the whole block used games issue was first brought up this year gamers have agreeded on one thing,what ever gaming company does this is finished.Sony's stock skyrocketed soon after the reveal proving this point,At this rate microsoft will go the way of sega and do software only.
I still feel numb.

Just when you thought Microsoft's publicity couldn't get any worse... they've filed a new patent for Kinect to monitor you while playing music (and I think movies), so that if you're playing it to too many people, the MPAA will be notified and you'll have to buy a special licence.

If true... I have no words...
They are essentially just sitting back twirling their mustaches at this point.
I'll probably eventually buy it.
Very likely nothing will come of it for a number of reasons, but the fact they're even trying to push such a concept is deeply unsettling.
Did I read correctly that the new Xbox won't function without Kinect? Let's put aside my apparently being a Nazi (nice :-\), if you're still determined to stick with consoles, you might want to hold on to that 360, or go for a PS4/Wii.
I might be blindly optimistic here, but that article is from November, and there is no way they can...
Forget it, every other horrible rumour about the XBone is true so why wouldn't Microsoft be evil enough to do this movie/music overcharge stuff either?

I don't know if I'm going to ever get a Wii U, but I will be keeping my 360 like I kept my PS2, and I will be getting a PS4.

I read about this
months ago.
It was generally accepted that companies like Microsoft file for patents just for the sake of having them, meaning the patent might sit a long time before ever being used, if at all.
Still, I'm too disgusted by Microsoft to ever buy their hardware again. I'm not even sure how many xbox 360s I've owned. After 5 dead consoles, sometimes they would repair it, sometimes they would replace it.
My current 360 is sitting in the closet unused and on indefinite suicide watch. I dare not turn it on.
____
It's simple really. Microsoft is fueled by whoever will pay them, with no loyalty or regard to those people if they think that can get even more money.
In psychology, it would not be inaccurate to label their business model as psychopathic. Then, nearly all corporations share a psychopathic indifference towards the customers, only people take it strangely personal when it comes to videogames. Just look at the hate for EA. It lingers on every game site--you could almost bottle the hate for EA and use it as pheromones to attract other people that hate them.

QuoteThe Xbox One reveal left a lot of questions unanswered, among them what will happen to pre-owned game sales. Thanks to information let slip by retail sources we now know, among other things, why Xbox One will want to check in with home base every 24 hours; it's to see whether or not your account needs to be adjusted. If you opt to sell a game, you can only do it at Microsoft-approved retail outlets. Those outlets will have to agree to Microsoft's terms and conditions, and sign up to its cloud-based Azure system. It's Azure that manages the transaction, and tells the home office that you've handed in your title. The title gets wiped from your account at that point.
Retailers will get something less than 10% on each pre owned sale. The rest goes to Microsoft and the publisher. Prices quoted by MCV for pre-owned hover around the £35 mark, inclusive of the retailer's cut, so of that figure the retailer sees no more than £3.50. The £35 is the activation fee, so presumably that would be set in advance by Microsoft independently of conditions in the retail market. Stinker or classic, the price tag may be the same. When contacted by MCV, Microsoft was quick to say that "should you choose to play your game at your friend's house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile," but other than that was unwilling to discuss potential retail scenarios. It also leaves open the question of what happens if your friend wants to play your game on their profile. Or if three kids in the same house want to play the same game on their profiles.

Quote"In one scenario, Kinect used its facial recognition to scan a room full of people and note if there was someone in the room it didn't recognize," reports Polygon, citing 'two sources who tested out the still-in-development feature'.
"It then told the console owner that there is someone in the room it didn't recognize and asked the new person to identify themselves. Once the person said their name, Kinect welcomed them and saved their information to the console," adds the report.

QuoteThe Xbox One will also apparently allow for players to use Skype to ask a friend for help, and that friend will be able to take over control of the game remotely.
"A message popped up on their screen asking if it was OK if the player they were Skyping with could take over the game. Once the friend took over, the first player was able to watch them play the game. Either player could end the remote play with a button push," details the report.

Ok, tell me why exactly the consoles out perform the PC? Prove me that your system is better.
The thing is...we don't give a shit. We're not trying to prove anything, yet you've been the only one that I have seen around here that is trying to sell us on strictly being a PC Gamer. We don't give a damn, if we play games on consoles, or PC, or whatever the f**k, we don't care. We just play games, that's it. Doesn't matter what we play them on. Just be honest, and tell us that you just want people to play online with on your PC, because I don't understand what this sales pitch you've been doing for who knows how long is anything other than trying to ask us to come join a game with you or something.

That's a lie. I never go against you if you're generally talking about PC. I'm only against it when you're trying to sell the PC by shoving it in our mouths through your posts that others are now seeing you as one of these PC elitist folks. How about actually reading my post where I quoted myself in order to answer your question with the googly eyes. Unless of course you want to continue to lie about what I've said.

How does one mildly jokey sentence constitute a rant? It's you guys who went off the rails calling PC users douchbags and Nazis.

Even with diminishing returns and all, that looks to me like a bigger generational improvement than what we saw with last gen, which I was not expecting at all. I can't wait to see what these next gen engines will look like on PC...and in 4k pretty soon.
I was disappointed they showed the original McLaren lose the race in that trailer.

Its not gaming either. I see people do nothing but Netflix and YouTube, and yet they bitch not seeing gaming on the Xbox One yet. I think that's called hypocrisy.
Nobody initially bought their Xbox to do things they could do on their computer or by simply pressing the 'source' button. Having only that shown and basically NO selling qualities is utter bullshit.
Also, check out that home monitoring system AKA Kinect.
Still loyal to the 360, but I'll probably end up getting the damn thing. Looks like an old VCR, and I fraggin' loved VCRs! :)

Did we even have Youtube or Netflix on there in the first place? I mean, what makes 360 good is that it's focus when released was on the video games and still strongly is despite the perks, now with the Xbox One reveal they've gone f**kin' polar. For the first half of the existence of the 360 (years) I didn't even have xbox live, I played solely for campaigns and local multiplayer in the old days.
I've never watched Netflix or Youtube on my 360, but I also believe that it is a rather desperate thing to target, seeing as it was never the focus of the 360, but a perk. Now with the Xbox One it's the video games being treated like a perk or bonus and that is disgusting for a
gaming console.
Also, with that Kinect thing (which the Xbox One can't function without) I'm feeling 90% certain that I don't want this thing. Hell it's smart enough to detect a new person and when it does it'll supposedly start asking for fees for additional people before you can continue. We got a f**kin' Capitalist HAL 9000 over here.
Sure Microsoft gave us the 360. But I'm not getting Xbox One because I'm stupid enough to fall for something like blind loyalty when it goes against my mother flippin' common sense.
Woah, I'm ranting again.

Well personally, a large part of the reason I bought a 360 was as a media extender, and for the DVD player. They made a big deal out of its multimedia capabilities at launch and throughout its lifespan, and as far as I'm concerned, at the time it paid off. And having a decent Bluray player was a hugely critical element of the PS3, as was DVD for its predecessor; consoles have been using multimedia as selling points for a long time now.
Nowadays though, pretty much any type of box you choose for the lounge can play USB devices, Youtube, Netflix and networked media in a panoply of formats. I'm not sure what the appeal is in piping TV onto your console - am I right in thinking that you still need your digibox for it to plug into? So as far as I can tell, all it's doing is cutting your number of remotes, and may add extra complexity around the interface and recording features. I don't think anyone is asking for this.
Anyway... as other commentators have pointed out, obviously the X3 (why,
why did they call it One? I'm calling it the 3. f**k 'em) will have a range of next-generation games, including exclusives, just as in other new consoles since the dawn of time. Just because they haven't focused on them during the reveal doesn't mean they won't be well supported. It was poor judgement, though, that they didn't choose to make them the main feature of the console's reveal.
:edit: It's funny that they're apparently chasing Apple with the X3. One of the big things Apple does incredibly well is to make every reveal into a huge event, where everyone's stoked into a frothy-mouthed frenzy of "just take my money" zealotry. The products themselves are often hugely flawed, but nobody cares, they've been managed to love them from the outset. The corporation generates goodwill and fandom like a sports team, it's astonishing and unprecedented, and the root of their success.
Whatever the merits of the X3, Microsoft f**ked up in a huge way with their launch event. They still have a
lot to learn from the company they once overshadowed like Godzilla over a scared Japanese man.

That seems like a horrible decision, actually.
You just need to buy it, you do not need to actually play it or set it up. And you'll not only increase the profit, you get f**king super powers.

If they had any intention of doing that then they should have just done it instead of
Anniversary in 2011.
I wonder if they'll do an about-face on the backwards compatibility issue. The 360 wasn't originally going to play any previous-gen games, but they ended up programming in the compatibility on a case-by-case basis if memory serves, after a very vocal public outcry.
Then again, there's a much bigger library now...
Both MS and SONY will NOT bother developing any sort of emulation for the previous gen because they are chasing their business interests after all.
We live in the era where people are paying 10$ for skin for their weapon. The same people will buy the new Xbox and will not bother buying another prev gen box just to play some titles they want to. Why should MS include emulation in the Xbox None? They don't have to and they don't care. They know they will earn more money if they restrict their consoles to play only the same gen games as the console.
The times when the big sharks cared about their customers are long gone.
I am more eager to see what the Steam Box will do against MS and Sony.

QuoteSpeaking to CNET, Microsoft's Jeff Henshaw has insisted that there are appropriate safeguards in place. "If you want privacy, we'll give you modes that ensure your privacy," he explained. "And we actually have a little bit about this on the Web already. We will have something similar for the Kinect with Xbox One.
Lies.

Well, the flip side of this is that backwards compatibility would make the new Xbox the logical choice for 360 owners when it's time to migrate to the new generation. Without it, there's no advantage for them in the Xbox 3 over a rival platform, so Microsoft stand to lose chunks of their existing user base (especially with all the bad press they've been accruing since the big reveal).
It still pays to listen to your customers and cater to their needs (yeah Microsoft, unbutton that blouse and cater to my needs), because it'll make money in the medium and long term. A lot of big companies are short-sighted and focus narrowly on the strength of next quarter's bottom line (especially publicly traded ones who have to appease their shareholders), but not all of them.
Steam Box has the potential to be huge (especially with Valve behind it, in my opinion the industry's brightest company), but so far their message has been very mixed. I'm having a hard time figuring out where they've drawn the line between console and computer, and I think they'll have great difficulty marketing it. It doesn't sound like they're planning a sweeping campaign like a typical console launch.
Yeah they are in very hard spot. If their console is more PC like they will have poor sales in the US and the opposite for EU. We are not talking about the Steam Box as JUST a console since Valve wants it to be more like PC so it will be very hard for them to find the balance.

oh dear...
Those prices have got to be just as much bullshit as any estimates we've seen so far, despite coming from Amazon. It would be far cheaper to run a gaming PC.
The PS3 lost its overwhelming advantage from the previous generation by launching with a high price, and even then it was much lower than that Xbox 3 quote. I can't imagine even Microsoft would be so stupid as to repeat (and even compound) that mistake.
Definitely placeholder prices, the PS4 and its games are up there for the exact same prices.

Some confirmation on things.
QuoteToday, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.
Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.
In our role as a game publisher, Microsoft Studios will enable you to give your games to friends or trade in your Xbox One games at participating retailers. Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers. Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this. In addition, third party publishers can enable you to give games to friends. Loaning or renting games won't be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners.
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/411438/xbox-one-no-fee-for-used-game-license-transfers/ (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/411438/xbox-one-no-fee-for-used-game-license-transfers/)
QuoteThe company has reaffirmed that Xbox One won't require a constant 'always on' connection to the internet for offline games and functionality, but offline gameplay is limited to 24 hours since the console's last check-in online. At that point if no connection is available, offline play "is not possible".
It went on, "With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies."
Oh joy ::)

QuoteYou are in control of what Kinect can see and hear: By design, you will determine how responsive and personalized your Xbox One is to you and your family during setup. The system will navigate you through key privacy options, like automatic or manual sign in, privacy settings, and clear notifications about how data is used. When Xbox One is on and you're simply having a conversation in your living room, your conversation is not being recorded or uploaded.
You are in control of when Kinect sensing is On, Off or Paused: If you don't want the Kinect sensor on while playing games or enjoying your entertainment, you can pause Kinect. To turn off your Xbox One, just say "Xbox Off." When the system is off, it's only listening for the single voice command -- "Xbox On," and you can even turn that feature off too. Some apps and games may require Kinect functionality to operate, so you'll need to turn it back on for these experiences.
You are in control of your personal data: You can play games or enjoy applications that use data, such as videos, photos, facial expressions, heart rate and more, but this data will not leave your Xbox One without your explicit permission. Here are a few examples of potential future scenarios:
- A fitness game could measure heart rate data to provide you with improved feedback on your workout, allow you to track your progress, or even measure calories burned.
- A card game could allow you to bluff your virtual opponent using your facial expressions.
You can use other inputs to control your games, TV and entertainment experiences: While it's faster to find what you're looking for using your voice and gesture commands with Kinect, you can use a controller, your remote controls or your smart devices instead. And you can use all of these devices when Kinect is paused

QuoteOwnership of a retail copy of a game will give you the rights to a digitally downloadable copy, allowing for access to your games on any console.
"After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud," says MS. "So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend's house, you can play your games."
Any of your games can be played by anyone on your console without the need for you to be logged in, while access to your games will also be shared by up to 10 members of your family on any Xbox One console.

These things are supposed to be extra features, but by making it the focus of their reveal and concentrating on entertainment in general, people were already moody. The nail in the coffin was not explaining anything clearly at the event or soon after. They waited WEEKS to clear it all up. All this confusion about the things people don't care much about. If at all.
The damage is done. And even though it's not as bad as originally thought, it's still pretty bad that they chose all these little things as the focus of their system.
Honestly, because i'm paranoid, just knowing that the One can respond to "Xbox on", even if it isn't listening and recording to everything else you're saying, creeps me out. Just because it can do it. Even if you turn off the whole feature, it is part of the system. It has to be connected. It can potentially be used as a spying device.

I still had the whole anti-used games or borrow games idea that they are trying to do. he number of people who buy used games are small. I feel like publishers act like the gaming marketing is shit even though games make more money then movies do.

Welcome back to the light my friend.
Still sticking with the PC. Keeping the 360 for Borderlands 2 and Skyrim, though.
Some guy that's apparently a legit leaker said a few interesting things earlier.
Quote1. Confirmed Microsoft is actively attempting to get developers to not mention PS4 versions. If they don't say "OUR GAME IS EXCLUSIVE FOR XBONE" expect a PS4 version. #truthfact
2. More DRM messaging at Gamescom. There is no rental strategy. Try to sweep it under the rug and hope people don't remember.
3. Cloud power was designed as DRM. Period. DRM was Microsoft's idea. EA and Ubisoft are supporters, Activision slightly less so.
4. DRM plans are actually worse than what they've stated.
5. Mirror's Edge 2 at MS conference.
6. Prince of Persia (reboot?) at MS conference.
7. Secret Phil Spencer game = World of Banks?
8. Live paywall still there.
9. Dead Rising 3, and exclusive DLC for another Capcom game at MS conference.
10. No online paywall for PS4. Unconfirmed.
11. No DRM info for PS4.

Do you hate MGS, Halo 5, and Titan fall?!
Never played Metal Gear games. Look boring to me. The graphics and effects were amazing here tho. Truly showcased Ones power more than anything else. Halos OK but VASTLY overrated. I knew it was Chief under that robe. As stupid as it was for a marine wearing a giant hunk of armor to be wearing one. Titanfall didn't impress me. I don't care for mechs and don't understand their appeal.

I dunno, maybe I'm biased since Ive been playing games since the early 90s but I'm really pick and choosey when it comes to them. Seems I have to search extra hard for the extra "magic" in video games nowadays. Everything seems so "industrialized".

I've been playing games since the early 90's. I've played all the MGS games (the series dates back to the 80's!) Agree with you on Halo though. Big games nowadays are more about spectacle than anything else (admittedly I stopped playing a lot of recent blockbusters due to earlier installments being meh, therefore my opinion is limited, really).
I wish to see a re-stream of the conference. Can't find one for some reason. Xbox.com isn't doing it either.
Anybody know where i can watch it?

) that I played when I was in Korea, I never would have gone with Xbox. I had planned on getting both the 360 and a PS3, the latter moreso for the Blu Ray capabilities. Just before getting one, I found a killer deal on a Blu Ray surround sound system and bought that instead.
I love my 360, will probably buy another as a back up before MS starts packing them with similar software to the Xbox1.
I've continued to eye the PS3, for a while anyways. The "uncharted" and "last of us" games come to mind. Getting the PS4 I admit, has come from this bullshit with MS. That's ok, I don't mind getting both PS3 and 4, especially since the PS3 price should drop a bit after the PS4 is released.

@ Dead rising 3
I see devs are still using that over the top blood-bag approach to violence. At some point they have to realize it hinders realism.
@Ryse
Good graphics (thanks to crytek) but some of the animations looked twitchy. The actual gameplay didn't look impressive.
I don't think I will miss not having anything they showed. I'm just looking forward to the shackles of current console hardware to be taken off pc games.

I'll probably end up getting both. I did with every previous incarnation of the Microsoft/Sony battle I just usually start with the PS consoles.
I do think it was funny that when the first Xbox and PS3's were released, it was the PS2 that sold the most out of all that were available at the time. Big price drop and a huge catalog of games.
I plan on burning through The Last of Us as soon as I get back.

Anyone think the Xbox One will end up selling badly like the Atari Jaguar did back in the mid 90's?
If I were betting on it, I'd say its going to sell just fine. For the past few years the X-Box has catered to the more casual gamer (and looking at the features on the One, it seems that they are embracing that group even more this time), many of whom probably don't keep up with all of the news on the internet or simply don't care. I'm sure a lot of people complaining will buy it as well (and then complain even more once they have it).
Personally, I'll probably just wait until they release a bundle with the console and Halo 5 before I get it, as much as its gonna pain me to part with the money for a console I probably won't use very much.

I disagree entirely. They seem to be doing the polar opposite. You MUST have a connection to the internet is not casual. On top of that you MUST have a 1.5 MB connection rate for it to even function properly. Aside from that, the casual gamer is going to want to trade in their copy of whatever for the next game they feel like playing - casual gamers tend to have fluxating libraries of games.
That is not an option any longer.
From where it seems right now, they've lost the consul war before even firing the first shot. There twitter is blown up with people saying such things as "I've been a loyal x box owner for a decade, I've just pre ordered my PS4. thanks a lot!!!"
I don't think it's going to get massacred like jaguar... but the damage is massive right now and only growing faster. They need to rally fast.
The price difference gives PS4 the edge too, even with both having payed multiplayer, PS4 is 460 while X1 will be 560.
Parents and people who don't really care about the games will go for the cheaper option, it's kinda like last gen except the table got flipped.

They can start with keeping their mouths shut and refraining from biting the hands that feed them.
But then again, I think it's a little too late for that...
Seriously, right now I'm f**king embarrassed to have a 360. :-X

That does mean XO can't bombed the same way that the Jaguar did and MS won't become the next Atari. With the Jaguar, I can rent and borrow games unlike the Xbox One.
poor vikkah
I imagine if demand gets really low they'll make major changes to the system partway through its life. Sony managed to turn around their initial slump with the PS3.
Get used to always-online gaming though. There's speculation that by the time we reach the Xbox 4, it'll utilise streamed graphics - all the processing hardware will be on the other end of the broadband cable, making the power theoretically unlimited, and potentially making console 'upgrades' a thing of the past.

You would need a hell of an internet connection to fully utilize the potential of the graphics that the xbox 4 will have.

Yuck. I can already feel the lag and see the compression blocks. I wonder what the ping would be.
Keep in mind, we're talking 6-8 years from now. Broadband speeds won't be where they are today.

I experience just as much lag/ping time now as I did 6 years ago.
With h.265 compression and 30+mb (megabit not byte) video streaming I can see the visual fidelity holding up, but I don't see it being as responsive or smooth. Then there's the issue with internet going down or even just minor hiccups.
As a pc gamer I need access to my games so I can modify them; with a streaming service I assume I don't even have access to the game's files. Unacceptable. I also demand high frame rates (60-120fps) and in the time period you specify I plan to be gaming in 4k.
I don't think we'll be streaming 4k@60 fps with zero lag and full mod/technical access any time soon.

Halo is not enough to save one system. The 360 did great because it had a big selection of games, good online and MS was able to start off the 7th gen systems first before Sony and Nintendo did. Xbox One is already losing it's target audience before it is release. Xbox One is trying to force drm of extreme levels onto its consumers when people don't even want it. The Xbox One is also being released in select countries and won't be in other major parts of the world like Japan or Korea. Less countries means less sales.
The PS4 already has no online passes, no drm, a good line up of games, can go offline and is region free. The console is already on very very thin lice and it won't be long until it becomes the Jaguar of this generation. Just like with Jaguar, it was an overpriced American console that failed before it ever started.

To quote one of my hardcore xbox friends. "The only thing that could save it, is if Half life 3 was released exclusivly to it and it was under $250. Like either of those will happen." Sonys won in converting some of my Xbox friends to it because of the games, its cheaper and the freedom xbox one is lacking and restricting.

Well, I recently moved to the middle of nowhere with a connection to match, but before then my connection was around twenty times faster than eight years earlier, with ping 75% lower. And that's not even with a fibreoptic connection.
National averages have gone up too, +234% between 2008 and 2012 (http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/market-data-research/other/telecoms-research/broadband-speeds/broadband-speeds-nov2012/).
I'm not exactly a proponent of reliance on streamed processing either, but if it
can be done right, the repurcussions will be huge. No need to buy another console, no need to upgrade your PC. It's been talked about for a few years now.
Lol some guy in facebook owned Xbox None pretty hard - "Xbox, turn on my PS4." :D

TBH, I am looking forward to the X1 as it feels like it could be a truly new experience. Putting every player at the same level with internet access and Kinect functionality makes me excited about the possibilities of future games. But maybe it turns out to suck, maybe it doesn't work out, I don't know... but I fear the PS4 is just a small iterative leap from the PS3. I like my PS3, but I don't enjoy the whole ecosystem as much as I do the 360. The 360 opened a lot of doors and innovation in the console space that competitors slowly followed. I think the X1 has the potential to really do that again and feel truly 'next-gen'.
I'm not happy about the DRM stuff, I like Sony's stance better but really... I'm used to Steam so I don't care about the online checks that much. I rarely trade or sell my games: I collect them, so I'm not exactly worried about the used game market. The only real thing I'm concerned about is in 10-15 years, will my X1 games still work? I still have a PS1, 3DO, N64, NES etc etc and I can play all the games still, but I admit I don't often but its still nice to know I can. I really just want MS to come out and say that that isn't something we need to worry about - that we'll be able to play the games forever. Then, I'll have nearly no regrets with getting the X1.

I bet he still rents movies from Netflix or buys anything used on E-Bay which makes him a huge hypocrite.
Well, I guess the XBox One is good for one thing:
It's causing everyone to show their true colors. :P
Well it's Cliffy B, the creator of Gears of War saying this. I'm not surprise that he is going to suck Microsoft's dick.
Gears of War was an Xbox exclusive I believe so it is to be expected.
The only thing I am bothered about being Xbone exclusive is KI...

Quiet Cellien, your being rational!
I've come to wonder if people are actually overreacting.
I mean, checking in online to play every 24 hours isn't that bad. To play online multiplayer for an xbox 360 you would need a constant internet connection anyway, and a lot of the time I start online to see who is online.
As far as used games go, they ain't charging us money anymore, and if I remember correctly getting permission to use a used game is more up to the publishers than Microsoft itself. On top of that, I collect my games and I don't share as no one ever asks. And if I heard correctly any number of accounts within the family are free from the used game stuff, something along those lines.
And the Kinect thing, it has settings so supposedly it only has as much power as you let it have, or you could just turn it around.
Plus, while I love PS4's "console of the people" stance, I have never given a single shit about it's exclusives like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. And apparently Elderscrolls online will be for Xbox One as well.
If you haven't guessed already I've gone back to being indecisive, but thankfully I have lots of time, and World of Tanks for 360 is of greater priority at the moment.

But it's not always online, you just need to check in every 24 hours, and you need an online connection to play online multiplayer anyway as it is with current gen consoles.
And yea, I don't like how "dickish" they have been either. But I don't want to just jump in the hate wagon either. I want to take a step back and see what's what and think it through, rather than just loosing my shit.
So far this gen all the exclusives barring Titanfall look like trash, all games I'm looking forward to are multiplat.
Since both consoles have similar architecture this time around there won't be a massive difference in how multiplats run on them, since PS4 is cheaper and actually has hardware a bit stronger than the X1 I got to go with it.

You have to always be online, Rich. Last I heard it was a 24 hour check, yes, BUT...you can only play for an hour offline.
Actually, I just read that once your internet goes down or something, you can keep playing for 24 hours offline.
Only thing is, this is a "potential scenario".
Like I said, I've got lots of time before I go making a final call and through that time there will hopefully be more concrete updates.
It's also a matter of opinion when it comes to exclusives, as I've heard people say the Xbox One exclusives are not good, while I feel the same way about PS4 exclusives, they aren't good in my opinion with the exception of the newly announced "Mad Max", Mad Max has my attention, personally I don't give a hoot about the others.

Thats only if you're using your account on somebody elses system, it checks every hour.
So yea, from here to probably around Christmas time I'm pretty much declaring a state of neutrality in the console war. Along the way I shall observe and look out for post-release reviews.
OMG, Rich, just buy the PS4...I, Sweeps, SpaceMarines, and the gang are gonna need you in DESTINY! Remember when you saved all of our asses in Mass Effect 3, and you were the only one left against who knows how many damn enemies?! WE NEED YOU FOR EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS!

I know plenty of people who can't afford to pay their internet bills all the time. Sometimes, stocking the fridge or paying the electricity bill/meter comes first, and the internet gets cut for weeks at a time. An Xbox One will be useless in this common scenario. For most middle-class folk, this probably won't be a worry. For most everyone I know, it's a complete sham.
I have other concerns with the new Xbox, especially considering the surveillance worries and its need to be online and 'aware' of your presence and actions. With the recent NSA whistleblowing, and companies like MS handing over information, well, MS can take their bad attitude and the Xbox One and go suck a chode.
PS4, baby!

I'm really flattered and tempted to be swayed... but it's something I feel I need to do and stick to my guns with, to just take a step back, approach the situation with a level head, and see how both Xbox One and PS4 do
after release.
Look on the bright side, neutrality means I am in
neither camp, it means I'm on the sidelines minding my own business most likely having my own adventure on World of Tanks on the Xbox 360.

OMG, Rich, just buy the PS4...I, Sweeps, SpaceMarines, and the gang are gonna need you in DESTINY! Remember when you saved all of our asses in Mass Effect 3, and you were the only one left against who knows how many damn enemies?! WE NEED YOU FOR EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS!
Aww...I wanna be a part of a moment like this...

They were screaming in the mics as I was surviving solo against close calls from stuff like Phantoms and Atlas walkers in the round before the evac round.
And all that cheering when I faced off against the final enemy, an Atlas.

My house has internet. Clearly. Good Internet, these days.
Except where the XBox 360 is. No joke, we cannot connect it to the Internet where it is. That means every single day I'd have to unplug the thing, take it somewhere else in the house, plug it back in, check in online, then take it back to where it was.
My brothers and I don't play the games online. We like to be sociable and play games where you can have four people sitting on a couch in the same room.
The XBone is not for us.

I used to have terrible internet connectivity with our Xbox 360 at my old home. It was a game of feng shui trying to get it to work. Never had a problem with the PS3. Xbox works in the new place though.

Couldn't you use a wireless adaptor?
That's using the wireless adapter. The modem is almost literally on the other end of the house upstairs, we can't run a cable to it. The best we can do is drill a hole through the floor and attack a wireless adapter using a USB cable, and that doesn't have a tendency to work at all consistently.
Not that it matters. Like I said, we don't play online.

They probably don't have good enough internet to even work on the Xbone. :laugh:
I live out on an acre in the country 30 miles from the city and the internet options here are very small. Yet I still get a 15 megabit connection, which is more than enough than what the X1 is going to require. I have a range extender to beam a signal to my chicken pin for my IP cam. If my chickens can get internet out on my property, surely others can. :P I'm kidding, but hey, I'm sure there's a point in there somewhere.
Honestly though, I subscribe to video steaming services, iTunes, and other services (like Steam, Carbonite, Xbox Music, PSN Plus) that require me to be online to use them at all. I'm used to it and every one of my consoles (this gen) is always connected anyways. Sometimes, when my 360 or PS3 isn't online for whatever reason - I go out of my way to get them on before I start playing a game. It actually feels strange to me when they are offline, like being at a party but locked in a room by yourself with your own boombox.
I guess if one were looking for a silver lining in all this, it might be that bottom-feeders-turned-mega-corporations like Gamestop are not the ones benefiting the most and more money goes to the developers (even publishers) that actually made the games happen in the first place. Maybe even prices can come down, basically like we saw happen with Steam. The model of Gamestop raping customers for trade-in values and shafting publishers by undercutting them by $5 doesn't seem sustainable, to me at least.
Having to check in feels to much like a jealous insecure lover who wants to hang on to as much control as possible. All the while making your life miserable if you don't spend every waking moment with them.
It also feels like they are trying to hold all the xbox one games anyone anywhere buys hostage in exchange for continued funding for their services. If the service goes down or fades away ... so do those games you bought.
If any current gen game system suddenly ceased to have an corperate enity which supported it ... we could still play the $1000's of dollars worth of games we bought. Rather than have them evaporate into nothingness.

Well that remains to be seen, giving how PS4 is sticking to the status quo while X1 is trying to kill them, places like Gamestop will probably try to push the PS4 over the X1.

I guess you don't use Steam, PSN (especially PSN+), WiiWare, XBLA, eShop, Origin, or even iOS/iTunes. All those games are tied to online accounts that require checks in some form; some of which are wiped if you stop paying (PSN+). I understand that some of the services I mentioned only require an initial authorization but all of them can potentially suffer the same fate of evaporating into nothingness. They don't even have a disc as proof. I'm not defending DRM, I'm drawing comparisons to services that people already willingly use with little hesitation.

I've used XBLA ... and those games I'll be able to play until my xbox 360 kicks the bucket ... and 360 systems are no longer made. I have a hand full of WiiWare titles but from everything I've experienced with the system I'll be able to enjoy them until the system itself becomes inoperative.
I was under the impression that games purchased through Steam go onto your PC and are yours to be played whenever, wherever.
Point is ... all my systems going back to Colecovision still work perfectly fine and I can revisit them anytime I wish. Keeping this conversation in the realm of video games, the xbox one would be the first system that attempts to sell you the right to play the game without actually owning it. It's modified renting with a built in lifespan that limits gamers and almost guarantees several purchases of the same game in order to enjoy it generation after generation.
I actually have another Xbox 360 Elite on the way in the mail from Ebay, and when I get that the other seemingly dying one will be sent to a repair place to see what can be done. I intend to keep the Xbox 360 pulse going.

I have PSN+, and it doesn't check on you at all, or at least not in the surveillance manner of the new Xbox. Any
free content you're given as part of the service is locked if you end your subscription, but it's unlocked again once your subscription picks up. It doesn't stop you from playing
other games that you've purchased, and you can even share accounts on different consoles to get games your friends have bought (my brother has his account duplicated on my console; even though we live apart I can D/L any game he purchases, and play it on my account.)
There's a very definite line to be crossed between D/L'd games and this padlocked DRM/rent-a-game service that MS are touting.

So don't be surprised if Xbone games don't look like what we saw at E3.
On a side note, I was also disappointed with Watch dogs on PS4. Hope pc will still look as good as when the game was revealed.

No lol, PS4 is cheaper and gives you so much more, Xbox One
is a waste of money they only marketed it for people that think "Oh I've had an Xbox and Xbox 360 I'm getting the Xbox One" if it didn't restrict you to the point at which it does or had the gamescore focused drive of the 360... It's just an entertainment unit man, their clearly gonna make another console to make up for this, until then buy a PS4 and branch out as a gamer.

It's a current gen game, just with a next gen port. It won't look much better. Will probably have a few better textures and upped resolution. But that's it.

I do think people are overreacting, but a lot of the articles here show a very troublesome picture of what they plan for the future. Their new policies can be very restricting, and they seem intent on ignoring the consumers and do what they want.
When you screw over the customers, that's when you get an overreaction. If even the Xbox fanboys are switching bands, it's for a reason. We all know how those people can be. I don't believe you are a fanboy, but you should know as well as we do that some of these guys would rather die than switch bands. And yet, many are doing it. All these stubborn people that talked shit about PS3 are now switching over. The hugely one sided polls are evidence of this. It can't just be sony fanboys winning those polls.
But even if they are overreacting, I won't say there is absolutely no merit to the One. Some of my not so gaming oriented friends are going to get it. But from a gaming stand point, it blows. The $500 dollar price tag is too steep for just Halo.
I've been given that "you're overreacting" line by some Xbox One people as well... after declaring neutrality...
Basically if you aren't in the Xbox One camp you're automatically "overreacting", at least from most people I've been actually talking to. And to be told I'm just riding on the back of PS4 for the hell of it... do people not know what the word "neutral" means?
I just want to scream bad words right now.
There are always going to be those guys who buy 'the new system' no matter what it can or cannot do. The real question is can Microsoft call the system a success by only selling to this demographic?
There hasn't been a game system in the history of gaming which had such a pre-release backlash as this Xbox One debacle. Irreparable damage has already occurred. Call it overreacting or whatever ... it IS just a game system and not some new bill that's being passed that will take away your civil liberties. Bu it's great to see people paying attention to the details and not just blindly following a game company into the next generation because it's visibility.
My point is that most people don't even know what the Xbox One can do. I mean like people are still convinced that the Kinect will spy on you. You can turn it off. Hell people still believe that there's a fee to play used games when there simply isn't. Most people are to busy being in the PlayStation 4 bandwagon to actually fully research what the Xbox One can do.

Tv, Games and Social capabilities have all 3 of these and you have a BEAST!
The only differences is is that if you don't like something that you have on Xbox One you can trade it in with the PS4 PLUS the console of itself is cheaper.
Honestly I wasn't impressed with PS4. It just seemed like a PS3 with some upgrades.

So you essentially lose everything you bought for the console, assuming that also means the disc-based titles that require installation.
That seems a bit... Harsh, even if they were banned.
Not unsimilar to the 360.

I'd say they not only don't even know, they don't even care. And well done. They focus in what the machine can NOT do. Microsoft's new politics are a slap in the face of the buyer, and it doesn't matter how "good" the machine is, nothing justifies them. For that thing alone, they deserve to be punished by any possible mean.

Titanfall was also an exclusive, I believe, though it's available for the 360.
It's also on PC and will most likely be coming to the PS4 eventually as well.
I'm honestly getting the feeling that I'm being hated because I'm not on the bandwagon. :-\
You're not.
At least, not by me.
At the moment I simply don't see the attraction to the Xbox One, as none of it's special features make a difference to me. I can't make full use of it's television stuff, and the only exclusive that truly excites me is Halo (Which will probably compel me to get it once it gets a bit of a price drop.)

I really don't think its as bad as everyone says. Sure its not perfect, but I'm not blinded by a bandwagon.
Neither are we. There's just so many advantages for the PS4 over the Xbone, which makes it quite easy to pick which is the better console. The only thing the Xbone seems to have is Live TV, and frankly that doesn't mean shit compared to all the disadvantages it has. Especially when I already have a TV service that I barely use. Most of the shit I watch all comes from the internet.
You know that PS4 isn't available everywhere either, right?
You know that doesn't affect me right? :P
the thing that may still push me to xboxone is live. i have a feeling that PSN will be as wank for ps4 as it was for ps3. but i wont be buying one until mid next year so i can see then

It's region free. If it's not out in your country (doubtful) you can import it.
And saying that everyone's on the bandwagon is as viable an argument as everyone saying that
you're on a bandwagon of your own, which I don't believe you are. You shouldn't say that we're on the PS4 side of the debate simply because other folk are; that's the sort of argument that people who feel overwhelmed resort to. People are pissed at MS's restrictions as well as their indignant attitude. They want things to change, and putting up and shutting up won't help. They'll be voting with their wallets and letting MS know to value their customers more. Given how easily companies have been trodding over folk the last few years, it's about time people aren't rolling over for a change. MS thought they'd get some Pavlovian response by flashing off Halo, TV, and sports. You may like the Xbox One, but don't act mystified when other people don't. The negativity may be tiring but understand it's there for a reason.

I see people compare the Xbox One to the PS3 which is unfair. While the PS3 did had a high price tag at launch, but it had upcoming games coming out like MGS4, Heavenly Sword, the Ratchet & Clank games and several others. Other then Halo 5, what does Xbox One have anything good to ofter? Fans of Killer Instinct (like me) was looking forward to the new game until it was stated that you have to buy the other characters and Rare is not even working on the game. PS3 was never available in select countries and never had mandatory online.
Launch titles:
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Dead Rising 3
FIFA 14
Forza Motorsport 5
LocoCycle
Madden NFL 25
NBA Live 14
Killer Instinct
Kinect Sports Rivals
Ryse: Son of Rome
Skylanders: Swap Force

Connecting to live TV. I actually like that feature.
I'm not hating either, but I'm just trying to understand. Like the Live TV thing. I'm not sure why they were promoting that. Most TV's have multiple outputs now. Changing from game to tv is literally one button away. If it's true that HD tv's are mandatory for the next gen, you're most likely going to have a multiple output tv.
I really don't understand that one. Am I missing something? ???

And
that is why I declared neutrality rather than just
rushing for a bandwagon, that interview was actually slightly comforting. Now I'm looking a little more forward to seeing how Xbox One does after release. I am a little more optimistic but I'm still gonna wait and see how both Xbox One and PS4 do after release, when people actually start using these things and I can see reviews.
I've got lots of time to decide even after release, after all, I never get a console on the first day,
I let the pawns go first.Spoiler

Ok the thing about Gamestop, I hate them for the low trade ins. They are f**king thieves....BUT, I like having the option of getting
some money back for my games. Most of the time, me and my friends end up getting the same games. After some time, I might want to sell some of my older ones. I don't sell them to other people I know. I just go to Gamestop.
While everybody hates their business practices, it at least is there as a last resort to get some cash back. I don't want that to be done away with. So Microsoft went to that extreme, and people are outraged. As much as we can hate Gamestop, we like to have it as an option.
But in theory you can sell them on? The Angry Joe interview said you can"gift" a game once. So you just slap it up on eBay and sell that game.
I never had a issue with Gamestop. The people that I know are Gamestop are very nice people and I have got good deals with a pro membership. It's people like EA who hates used games when we never had this issue during the 80's, 90's and most of the 2000's. People bitch about companies selling used games but no one bitches about selling used cars.

"WE'RE OVER DELIVERING VALUE!"
f**kING...BUUUUUUUUUUUULSHIT!
All this hate in this thread because of authenticity checks. You guys realize when you buy a game now you are only buying a license. Have you read the agreements in game manuals? The only difference is that the technology to authenticate this license is more available than it was in 1995. That is why Steam exists. There is a reason when you buy a game you cannot return it. The only product you are buying is a disc, so yes if its scratched they will replace it; otherwise you are purchasing a license to the software.
BTW, I just bought Last of Us on PS3 - a first party game. There is a 'voucher' code in the sleeve to enable any online features. Sony is actively imposing online authenticating/ DRM on their own titles. If I were to sell the game after activating the code, what is the pre-owned value now? The PS4 supposedly will utilize similar methods. This is just another way to discourage used game sales.

All this hate in this thread because of authenticity checks. You guys realize when you buy a game now you are only buying a license. Have you read the agreements in game manuals? The only difference is that the technology to authenticate this license is more available than it was in 1995. That is why Steam exists. There is a reason when you buy a game you cannot return it.

Yeah that exists but only for multiplayer as of now. Xbox will lock you out of the game completely.

Still your licence to do with it what you want, if you want to sell a game on Ebay you can, what Microsoft want is to dictate where you can resell your games.
Ruling was passed In Europe to allow you to resell your online games too, of course none of the companies actually follow it but it's there.
Sony have already said they're removing any kind of online passes in their first party games for PS4, publishers can still do it though if they want.
I just have a stick up my ass about Microsoft hardware because of 5 dead consoles. Watching microsoft slowly burn alive at the stake has been a dream come true.

I hear that, went through three of them.
Personally I don't care about online passes just as long as I can play single player.
I will be happy if the PS4's DRM works exactly like the PS3's.
I just got into xbox two years ago after a few people here recommend I play with them. Then again it was the only system at the time that could play the first Mass Effect (not counting the PC). So for me its a bit sad to see whats going on with the xbox.

2 were red rings, the other three all had bad disc drives. I sent them my last console in 2009, and they finally got it in their heads to send me a console with a revised motherboard design. I haven't played this console as much as the others, but it still works.
When I say bad disc drive, one console would not read anything, and the other two literally etched deep circular patterns into the discs. Mind you, these consoles were horizontal and not touched or moved at all during play. Two copies of oblivion were destroyed, and Rainbow six vegas was getting beat to hell by a different console, but it survived in the end. I sent the console back anyways because it was only a matter of time.
It's really eerie to hear the disc inside your console rattle around for a few seconds, then hear an awful scratching and crunching sound, followed by the dvd drive slowing down and the console saying "disc unreadable".

Yeah, Falcons and older ones were always bit twitchy.
Btw is an Xbox 360 manufactured in March 2008 a falcon? I bought it in June 2008 and lasted till November 2011 with no malfunctions in-between.
Yes it should be a Falcon. The first pre-Jasper consoles with the Opus motherboard (very limited numbers) were out in mid June 2008 and then in September the Jasper got released. So its very unlikely to be Opus, its 99% Falcon.
Thats some bad luck, isn't it :laugh: I still remember when my Falcon died EXACTLY on its 1 year anniversary.
What's the game it died you on? Mine was Deus Ex.

Dat feel. Had an Xbox that was pretty damn old (One of the games in the back of the box had Cod 3 advertised on it), and it worked fine for all the time i had it, but about 2 years ago it started scratching the discs as you mentioned every once in a while. It didn't happen often, but it did kill my Left 4 Dead and one of my brother's sports games. That sound is terrifying...

You know the thing about an xbox, it's got a dvd drive like a chainsaw...
I've never had a problem with my 360... :P
Only the hardcore players have problems with their consoles :P

What makes you a hardcore gamer?
I dunno about u guys but Ive been playing games since I was 3 in the late 80s. NES/SNES for life.
Thats what makes me a hardcore gamer. 8)
Actually it doesn't. My father plays since the 80s too but he is not a hardcore gamer. You have to play an enormous hours per week and/or on competitive level to call your self a hardcore gamer.
Wasnt expecting to be taken seriously but ok... Hows this for so called "hardcore gamer"?

You're not a hardcore gamer! I'M! a hardcore gamer!!!!! :P
I still don't understand this word "gamer". Doesn't everyone play games? Isn't it like watching movies or going online? Its just something everyone does as part of everyday life? Back in the 90s there weren't "gamers" there were just people who played videogames. If anything they were called GUYS :laugh:

No, it's not. A gamer is a person that plays, at least twice per week, I'd say; also, a gamer plays a variety of video games and is sort of a connosieur, that is informed about new launches, buy new games and so. A person who makes video games its main hobby and kind of a "lifestyle".
On the other hand, there's people who 'sporadically' plays video games. Like, once per year or something. Or plays facebook games but has no idea what "Mass Effect" is.
Now if you talk about other countries... I'm Mexican, I have 46 cousins and I can assure you only 2 or 3 play video games (and they are kids). My mom hasn't watched a movie since... 4, 5 years ago?

OK, if it's something like that, than it would be ridiculous, but, I play a decent amount of online play, and the shit I have heard, they would have to ban half to community for getting drunk and saying stupid shit once or twice a week. One of my friends is like that and he still has an account after 3 years or so.
I imagine the bans are gonna come from tampering with the Xbox, trying to steal games... which is pretty illegal, you know?
Just, don't f**k with the system, ya know? There's no reason to anyways.

I've read about the sharing with friends and family thing...and it's absolutely awesome. Since we're a large community here, many of us have friends from hundreds of miles away. Lets say one of those friends buys a game you can not afford at the moment - When he/she finishes playing that game, you can simply go to their library and play it. And, with the +1 feature, you can have one special friend at a time play the same game as you. So, if you get a good co-op game, and want to play it with a certain person who can't afford it, you can +1 them and bam, there ya go, co-op.
Think about the money you could save with that. Sure, you'd have to wait until the person is done playing, if said friend doesn't +1 you, but I sure as hell wait 2-3 weeks for a free game.

Lol. Most people bitching about the DRM and daily check ins are people who turn on the Xbox every day anyways. I can understand being upset for the people who can't afford internet, or live where Broadband hasn't got to them, I know that one all to well, as I've only had broadband for 2 years now. BUT, as Don Mattrick HORRIBLY put it, a lot of big games coming to the X1 are also coming to the 360.

I'm actually not sure. I know a lot about the X1, but I know jack shit about the PS4 for some reason, even though I watched the whole conference and have looked online about it. Also, Microsoft has already said they are changing anything about the X1 (I call bullshiz, though). So we'll have to wait and see.
Ghost Rider posted this yesterday on his FB page. I leave it here so people may or may not learn a bit more about the "controversies" of the X1

I can't understand why somebody will get pissed because of this. You REALLY have to do HORRIBLE things to get banned. And I mean it. The regular users can't get banned like that. I've been through this with one of my 360s because I decided to see how far I can go. I was really messing with MS. I've done tons of illegal stuff which would send me right into the jail if I was in the US. And my point is, it took 2 and half years for MS to ban me. And they just banned my console, while left my profile intact. And that was not a problem back then because the unban was possible if you had a non flagged NAND key from another console.
So basically all this crap talk by MS about getting banned for talking shit on the mic, or griefing or anything like that, will NEVER get you banned. There are known cases of limited time bans but its very rare and I never heard of anybody banned for doing "lulz" stuff in the games. You need to go deeper than that to earn your ban :laugh: (and I am not talking about playing games with flashed drive, thats a minor thing. MS rarely care if you don't play those games online)
(https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/p480x480/1005696_476403155769673_2130993106_n.png)
Nice to see the X1 get a jab in. Lol.
But, actually, one of the comments got me thinking - It said "MS is trying to rush the digital age too fast, they should have waited another 10 years or so." And, from my knowledge on how games will work in a decade or so, that is correct. Xbox One is a console ahead of its time. And maybe too ahead, and that's why every one is freaking out about the whole DRM/check up thing. Also, as a few other users have said, PC gamers have been dealing with this sort of thing for awhile, so it's not new to the gaming universe, just new to the console universe.
I don't know, I'm just trying to provide some level-headness to this debate. And don't think I'm some anti-PS guy. Heelll nooo. I wanna get both as soon as possible.
Still, no matter how an "horrible person" you are, if you have paid like $300 to play your games, they shouldn't ban you from playing "off-line" the games you bought. MS plain doesn't have the right to take away from you products you have paid for.
Whatever, it's clarified that's not gonna happen, so the debate doesn't matter.
This picture is kinda right but its very funny and strange in the same time. Why you would send some game to your friend who lives 99999 miles away? I mean the people have irl friends right? Everybody can borrow the game from some real life friend who live down the street or whatever. This picture may apply only if you are sending some rare game, which have a jap only release or something like that, and you somehow have the game and your friend can't find it anywhere else. Otherwise its good that Xbox None have such sharing feature but the PS4 part of the picture doesn't make any sense because its totally different scenario.
EDIT: Also I am SURE there are hidden limitation that are pain in the ass. It CAN'T be THAT simple. If it was like they are portraying it, this have HUGE exploit potential. There will be groups of "people" who will "invest" in tons of games in one single profile and then will ask for money to share this profile to other people in various closed communities. Or some groups may donate to one single profile and then all of them to play many games for free/99% off the price. The possibilities are MANY if its exactly like in the picture. But MS are not that stupid, I am sure the limitations are pretty stiff.

You're right, in part. But, look at this community. I have several bodies from Canada, Florida, California, New York, etc. Now, lets say Halo 5 comes out. I fall on some money issues and can't afford to get it yet. But, my buddy from Canada has bought it and wants to co-op with me. All he has to do is add me as that "Special Friend" and I can play the game off his X1 at the same time he is, all in the matter of seconds. And, even in short distance - What if you're up late at night, your buddy's asleep and you can't get the disc...Just sign on to LIVE, access his games list, bam, you can play the game...all in the matter of seconds. There are numerous benefits to this. And, I know some people are like "10 friends is bullshit" Which does kinda suck, as I said a community like this offers dozens of players... But, the ability to instantly be able to borrow a game from some one who lives 500 miles away, is pretty f**kin sweet. And, with personal friends, with me at least, I don't lend discs out to 10 people anyway... maybe more like 4.

EDIT: Also I am SURE there are hidden limitation that are pain in the ass. It CAN'T be THAT simple. If it was like they are portraying it, this have HUGE exploit potential. There will be groups of "people" who will "invest" in tons of games in one single profile and then will ask for money to share this profile to other people in various closed communities. Or some groups may donate to one single profile and then all of them to play many games for free/99% off the price. The possibilities are MANY if its exactly like in the picture. But MS are not that stupid, I am sure the limitations are pretty stiff.
In response to your EDIT - The limitations that I know of so far are that, only one person can play it at one single time, unless the host account has "+1'd him aka make him a special friend" other wise, they will have to wait until another person stops playing it. Also, you can only do this with up to TEN people.
Or, maybe JUST maybe, MS is OK with all that. I'm sure if SONY did something like this, a lot of people would be like "Look! SONY is so awesome! They're the console for the average gamer! f**k the Micro$oft and the xBONE!"

Nice to see the X1 get a jab in. Lol.
But, actually, one of the comments got me thinking - It said "MS is trying to rush the digital age too fast, they should have waited another 10 years or so." And, from my knowledge on how games will work in a decade or so, that is correct. Xbox One is a console ahead of its time. And maybe too ahead, and that's why every one is freaking out about the whole DRM/check up thing. Also, as a few other users have said, PC gamers have been dealing with this sort of thing for awhile, so it's not new to the gaming universe, just new to the console universe.
I don't know, I'm just trying to provide some level-headness to this debate. And don't think I'm some anti-PS guy. Heelll nooo. I wanna get both as soon as possible.
I understand what that image is advertising, but that really is only helpful if you have a bunch of long distance friends.
Yes I do think it's ahead of it's time a bit, but also I think it's advancing too much towards the PC. These are consoles. They should be simple. Now i'm not saying I can't handle a few extra limitations and policies, but it is more annoying. But for more casual gamers that don't even acknowledge PC, Xbone is bringing forth things that are "unknown." And as I said before, people don't like change. They are afraid of the unknown.
I see what they want to do. Major Nelson tried to explain it (key word tried). And it will probably be pretty cool once they get there. But I don't think they're quite there yet. Because even if what they are aiming for is possible with the Xbone, they don't even quite get it themselves. This is clear by how they've handled the backlash. They can't even even explain their vision properly. So it just results in one PR disaster after another.

That's grasping a bit. I didn't get that feeling at all. I think people well know their own friend-making abilities.
I think the idea is cool - my brother and I share game discs on occasion and then we forget about who's is who's months later. I'd rather this option.
I'd rather owning what I paid for.
Technically, the owning part isn't changing. The enforcement part is.
Either or you know what I mean. if I own it I want to be able to do what I want with it. Like sell it on, trade it in, play Frisbee with it. Whatever strikes my fancy.
Bingo.
Yeah, I see the issues there. I am curious how they plan to handle used games as last I heard you will be able to do that in some form. They talked about deactivating it on your account to sell it, but that publishers can dictate that. That's where it gets fuzzy.
You can't sell or trade your games on Steam too and its fine.

Not the same thing. With my console I have a physical copy of the disc. People have been able to sell and trade these physical copies for years now, and to have that option taken away sucks ass.
I have physical copies of the orange box, l4d, and other games that are using steam works, it doesn't change anything. The format doesn't matter in this case. Your credit card is material thing too but you can't see all the money in it. Here its the same.
Not all games be using steamworks. f**k that jazz.

Hold on a sec, Uplay does this shit too? Lord, I didn't think it was even relevant.
I know a lot of people who still like having physical copies. Physical copies is easier when games go out of print. With Steam, not every game you want will be on there. With the help of Amazon and Ebay, you can find a game that went out of print 10 years ago and still play it.

Guys, guys, guys... did you read the article I posted yesterday? Used games will be happening in a very large way. It's not like there is going to be an epidemic of used games on the X1 or anything. They are still happening. You can still trade your physical copy of the game in just like you did with the 360 or PS3, etc.. Yes, there will probably be an extra step of deleting it off of your profile, but that doesn't take long at all.

Thank you most based Microsoft.
It now has evened up with PS4 except it's still more expensive and has weaker hardware. ::)
Maybe I'm just too much of a softie, but why would it be too late? Obviously, they thought they were doing something that could further the console, and, in the next generation or maybe 2, I think all consoles will have these DRM/check up things. Now that it spawned almost universal hatred, they are going to change it... why would you blame them for that?
I will now be able to enjoy Killer Instinct in the future when the price goes WAY f**king down.

I still am. If the complete 180 reversal is true, then I'm buying the UNO in the far future. Before I wasn't even considering buying it 5 to 8 years from now, but if this new info is true then I'll buy it within the next 5 to 8 years.

They would be digging their own graves with that. I'm sure even the most supporting people of the X1 would be pissed if they did that... I know I would be.
Honestly, I think they will save it for the Next-Generation of consoles. Digital games/media will be even higher selling then, and people won't think of it as this new devil or something.

And they are preparing this gen to last 10 YEARS.. God help us all. For real. Those consoles are not released yet and they are outdated BADLY. We are screwed.

Where'd you pull this statistic from?
Here we go.
QuoteLast week at E3, the excitement, creativity and future of our industry was on display for a global audience.
For us, the future comes in the form of Xbox One, a system designed to be the best place to play games this year and for many years to come. As is our heritage with Xbox, we designed a system that could take full advantage of advances in technology in order to deliver a breakthrough in game play and entertainment. We imagined a new set of benefits such as easier roaming, family sharing, and new ways to try and buy games. We believe in the benefits of a connected, digital future.
Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.
You told us how much you loved the flexibility you have today with games delivered on disc. The ability to lend, share, and resell these games at your discretion is of incredible importance to you. Also important to you is the freedom to play offline, for any length of time, anywhere in the world.
So, today I am announcing the following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
•An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
•Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

First, graphics aren't everything. I only run games at 720p and they look gorgeous to me. Second...stop their evolution? Have you seen the games that are coming out in the next year? Destiny? The Division? Watch Dogs? Those are nothing like CoD, and referring to Destiny and The Division, those type of games have never even touched consoles before.
God damnit. Now the epic sharing from across the country is gone...shit, that was like the coolest f**king thing. Coulda saved people a bunch of money, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

All games on the 360, even on 1080p are compared to lowest settings (or even worse) on PC. You should see Metro Last Last (for example) full blown on 1080p on PC. Then we will talk.
Btw I was not talking about the graphics solely. You can quote me where I said anything about the graphics in my previous post.

If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
We appreciate your passion, support and willingness to challenge the assumptions of digital licensing and connectivity. While we believe that the majority of people will play games online and access the cloud for both games and entertainment, we will give consumers the choice of both physical and digital content. We have listened and we have heard loud and clear from your feedback that you want the best of both worlds.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. Our team remains committed to listening, taking feedback and delivering a great product for you later this year.

That's from, like, 4 months ago. They could have easily changed that, or it could have never been true in the first place.
Which part exactly? BF4 release is soon. You will see that the PS4 and the None have 720p option only.
I just hope that David Jaffe was right and this will be the last console gen to be made.
November is still a decent ways away. And, on my Xbox 360, if I go to display options, it says 1080p down at the bottom.

Xbone has capitulated (http://news.xbox.com/2013/05/qa)
You're still paying an extra 100 dollars for a weaker system.
The extra hundred bucks is for the kinect. FOR THE KINECT.
I read that the X1 has, like, .5 less terraflops or something...what exactly does that mean?
Which you have no choice in buying. So its 100 extra for a system that has weaker processing power and inferior RAM.
Will that be important if I just want to buy Killer Instinct and Halo 5 and 6, 5 years down the road?

To add to that, they've supposedly had to underclock it to prevent it from bursting into flames.

Second...stop their evolution? Have you seen the games that are coming out in the next year? Destiny? The Division? Watch Dogs? Those are nothing like CoD, and referring to Destiny and The Division, those type of games have never even touched consoles before.
None of these games showed something new. Destiny - standard FPS shooter, I am seeing those since the 90s. The Division - average third person shooter, the same old mechanics. Watch Dogs - GTA clone with more advanced scripts, no major changes.
The new and innovative games are being made by the indie devs. Just look at Planetary Annihilation. This is something that you can't see every day - a full scale 40 player battle in RTS games which takes place in the universe and you fight on every planet in it. This is something really new. It was never done before.
The AAA games are very similar because the major "players" are afraid to try something new which may hurt their profit ;)

All games on the 360, even on 1080p are compared to lowest settings (or even worse) on PC. You should see Metro Last Last (for example) full blown on 1080p on PC. Then we will talk.
Btw I was not talking about the graphics solely. You can quote me where I said anything about the graphics in my previous post.
I don't see anywhere in those links where it says 99% of all PC's can play games from this year at 1080p. :P

OK, yes, Destiny is an FPS, but I mean the whole constantly changing world, MMO style play which has never been on a console before. On a PC? Sure, but not on consoles, which are what we're talking about. And The Division, again, yes it's a third person, but don't tell me that it looks like your average 3rd person shooter.
Also, ShadowPred... you realize you just dissed the game that, from what I have gathered, you're pretty f**king interested in and can not wait to get your hands on, right? OK.
Wow, that was fast. I understood their position on DRM but I'm super glad they listened to The People.

I have yet to see how exactly that game is going to change in the coming years. I am still in doubt over that. I'm buying the game because I find it interesting and I just want to explore other planets and derelict spacecraft. Everything else is just a bonus that I am neutral over.
Btw Prime, for the record - I am not trying to prove some PC superiority or something. Its a known fact the games look better on PC and stuff. I am just trying to say that both next gen consoles are not so next gen. And I am pissed because both MS and SONY are trying to trick the customers with already dated hardware. When I buy my PS4 I want it to be "that powerful box" as it was advertised for. But it wont be and this pissed me off. When I bought BF3 for PS3 and I was like what the f**k is this shit? I don't want to experience this again. But the impact will come later when the consoles bottleneck the new engines and everything just stops in the same cursed loop. The hardware will always go forward but the mainstream trend sadly.. wont.

Being interested in some game doesn't make the game good. Just because you (not particularly you) like some game this doesn't mean your view have to be blurred. For instance - I really liked Alpha Protocol. But the game was shit, its gameplay was shit, the combat system was shit, everything was totally broken. Can I say the game is good - no, but did I enjoyed it - yes. Destiny may be a good game but in the same it can be nothing special you know. Just because its nothing new gameplay wise it doesn't mean it will be a bad game ;)
PC gaming is nice, but consoles will always be around since most causal people don't have the money for a high running PC that can support gaming. I remember people were bitching about Battlefield 2142 being PC only since most of the people that wanted to get it couldn't.
MS and SONY simply have to buckle up and put some nice hardware in those consoles :laugh:

As discussed sometime earlier, the price differential isn't what it used to be. A lot of casual gamers buy PCs or laptops anyway, for web use, word processing and whatnot. Increase the price of that basic machine by the value of an Xbox One, and you'll have a reasonable gaming computer. Then you have the point that games tend to be cheaper on the PC, and the juicy Steam sales. Depending on how many games you buy, it can work out a fair bit cheaper.
I think the reasons consoles will have a market for the foreseeable future are that they're easier to use, are built around in-person social gaming, and are pushed by the massive marketing machines of some of the world's largest tech companies.
Anyway, back to the Xbox, the furore about DRM, Kinect, online authentication and pricing seems to have quelled the initial disgruntlement about lack of backwards compatibility. Genuinely asking this, not trying to incite anything - are the former really bigger issues for you guys than the latter?
Half of the original Xbox games I have can't be played on my 360, but at least I can play my 360 offline as long as I want. I'm glad they're getting rid of the DRM.

Depends on the TV. Like switching from either option on a YouTube video with a full 1080p HD monitor.
I have a damn good television. There is a difference in quality, but it's so small that it doesn't really alter the experience in any way. Using 720p vs 1080p as a selling point just seems ridiculous; both are very clear and very high definition.

Well now I might consider getting a Xbone at the end of its life cycle (only for the exclusives not on 360).
By then all their cards should be laid out, and we'll know if Microsoft is playing dirty or not.
PS4 will be my console of choice this upcoming gen.

My problem with DRM is that I want the ability to be able to play these games 10 to 30 years from now without worrying if the servers will still be up.

He raises a lot of good points. Now just drop the $500 price tag or make a seperate package without the f**king Kinect for $400, and I might be on-board.

So it is real.
Well, I'll stick with my neutrality status, but I am more optimistic about the Xbox One as this definitely a victory of some kind.
The thing I'm thinking though is, won't removing these things that were built in the pure console result in a console that is released with a number of related issues or malfunctions? Especially if these changes are rushed to meet consumer demands? I'm no expert, that is just a possibility in my untrained mind.
Anyway, if the price could be lowered and something done about the Kinect function (U.S Congress apparently want's a say in the fate of that function) then I'd be pretty much ready to join Xbox One.
But they've already made big changes as it is, if they changed the price and the Kinect as well for the better, then you'd have to be really ungrateful for their sacrifices. They didn't have to change as it is, it is after all their product, but they did because they are listening, at least now they are, after all how could they possibly ignore so much criticism?
Edit: Hmmmmm, scratch "ungrateful" (if you want to), more like you must really have a grudge or be really a Playstation person.

Wait and see I guess. Besides, around Christmas time there has to be some sort of drop in prices. As for Kinect, U.S Congress apparently wants to step in, where that will go I have no idea.

I really do agree with this. I understand the hurdles of always online but I was really interested in seeing how it could change consoles (for better or worse...hopefully for better). I hope they don't abandon the Kinect being standard. I like the idea of developers knowing that all players are using the same hardware so that we can see it utilized in interesting ways.

Looks like I might not get the new Xbox. Honestly the Xbox One just took a massive leap backwards instead of forward. Maybe they'll still add things like Family Sharing and installing a game and not needing the disc. :-\
An interesting bit in that article was that family sharing was really only an extended demo version of the game, not the full game. I thought it originally sounded too good to be true but I could see a similar system that discounts the game and/or gives you credits if the transaction took place because you 'shared' a game with someone. It has a social, viral ring to it that I think could potentially increase game sales by basically making your friends the marketers.

I'm sorry, but my problem with Microsoft isn't with any of those things you listed.
My problem is that I just don't trust them that much anymore because for all we know they could have something up there sleeve.
That's why (if I ever get one) I will be waiting till the next gen (after this upcoming one) is announced. By then they should have all their cards laid out on the table, and I will feel better about not being screwed over.

Family Sharing wasn't all that special. The whole thing was just the ability to share a 30 minute something demo that promps you to buy the full game, and it lets you save your game progress.

The fact is, according to MS, physical processing has reached a peak hard to top with current technology. They wanted to create a bridge to more powerful processing aided by "cloud processing". But it seems the limitations are still many, because the public's not accepting it or doesn't have the access to suport always-online.

The thing that gets me is that microsoft was arrogent enough to believe that they could get away with doing this crap in the first place.
It was like they were suprised that everyone was going nuts over being treated like a criminal.I don't think they realized that trying to stop people from buying used games is illegal in europe.

QuoteIt gave incentive to share your games among your peers, it gave games exposure, it allowed old games to still generate revenue for publishers. At the present time we're no longer going forward with it, but it is not completely off the table. It is still possible to implement this with the digital downloaded versions of games, and in fact that's the plan still as far as I'm aware.
So family sharing hasn't been taken away for good, just be patience and you'll get it, not that it actually sounded that good anyway.

The point is that you will get better components :laugh: Btw you should monitor your temps all the time, if your CPU runs very hot even if its not overheating the high temp may reduce its life span GREATLY, especially if you are using AMD. You probably should think of changing your PSU every 2-3 years because even the high end PSUs are reducing their wattage power with the time and this may cause a major failure in other components. Your PC is like your car you know - you treat it well and it will serve you well ;)

Well, my console experience is based on old Sega systems, N64 and Xbox 360, but I've never had a system last anywhere near 7 years (let alone
forever, jesus). Apparently you take far better care of your consoles than your PCs :P. (Or I do vice versa.)
Modern consoles are basically just computers anyway, they all have a PSU, CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, hard drive and optical drive. If your PC is specced with quality components there's no reason it should last any shorter than your console.
Does help if you wash out your dust filters from time to time though, which comprises the demanding task of sliding out a little tray and running it under a tap.

Most people would love to have a nice gaming PC if they have the money. New consoles go around 400 - 500 while PC's can go around 1,000 from what I've seen.
Point and then if you don't take care of it your buying a completely new one every few years. Where as a system you don't really have that worry.

Nintendo knows their shit. I have never had to replace any of their consoles, or handhelds because of some malfunction or something. They've worked for years, and have continued to work.
That's because Nintendo products are made of Nintendium.
This made me lol so hard :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

But when you hook up a computer to the internet you get virus from well just about anywhere.
Not really. If you know what you are doing and what you are downloading, you will never get a virus just like that. It simply can't happen. The viruses are not just "flying" around the web and then attaching to random computers :laugh: You somehow allowed the virus to get on your PC. During the W98 days it was easier to get a virus but nowadays its near impossible. There are very powerful tools such as AdBlock Plus, Malwarebytes and Ghostery which block all incoming connections from black listed websites. And those lists are updated hourly. So basically you will never have any connection with random unknown sites storing cache on your system, except if you don't allow it for some reason. Just use these three and you will be fine ;)

Alienware's are the most overpriced garbage out there. Literally they are worthless, most crash and burn within a month.

My NES still works. It just takes a bunch of air blowing for the console and the game cartridge to make it start. I have the original Super Mario Brothers and had the original, golden cartridge, Legend of Zelda. I forgot what happened to it..

In fact the 360 was hacked WAY BEFORE the PS3. It took quite a long time to break the PS3 actually. The 360 is so easy to flash that everybody with the right motherboard could do it back then, because it required just a simple reflash of the DVD drive. Its not like now to extract NAND keys and such which is pain in the ass, with very high possibility of bricking. Back then it was just plug n play, now it requires soldering, a programmer, a glitcher (those two are not living people lol) and other tools which are not really easy to get and you have to order them from japan etc... So this guy who made the pic don't know shit.

Why you would take the picture seriously in the first place is beyond me. umad.
Been off the grid with this, what exactly is the latest here?? surely Microsoft aren't stoopid enough to go through with their plans??.
Surely they must realise by now from all the negativity and the fact EVERYBODY is saying they will buy PS4, that they are gonna wipe themselves out if they do this?.
I think it's good to have both a PC and console. Some games are never on the PC like Uncharted, Zelda, Metal Gear Solid, Halo and several others. With PC, I would play games like Half Life on it while I don't won't want to play games like Tekken or Mortal Kombat on the PC since I can't stand playing a fighting game on a key board.

You can connect a gamepad to a PC (in fact you can connect a regular 360 pad if you want, USB slots all look the same in the dark), but I get your point.
I certainly prefer playing racing and fighting games on a TV while stomach-up on a couch, and while it's possible to do that with a PC, setting up the configuration can be a pain in the arse. And who wants
two PCs? - you still need a desk setup to play FPSs, strategy games and MMOs the way nature intended.
Without my 360 I'd never have gotten into Rock Band, which was hugely important for me socially and developmentally. Definitely worthwhile to have access to multiple platforms, if you can afford it.

They reversed their policies, but people aren't forgiving them yet. I don't trust them either. They could very easily bring back some of those policies with updates in the future. If the DRM policies stay the same though, I'll get it eventually when there is a price drop. Hopefully, a version of the system that doesn't come with Kinect. For now, I'll just stick with PS4. I'll just keep an eye on the Xbone during its first year of life. See what happens with it.

On the bright side it shows not everyone following them are blinded by loyalty. I may get one in the next two years if they drop, if there price bellow $450 I'll get one sooner. Till then its PS4 and PC for me. Not many of the Xbones games appeal to me but if they keep the DRM policies scrapped there maybe hope for them ;D

There's no point in DRM. Its just screwing the end user. If someone wants to pirate the game he WILL do it and no DRM can stop that. Many devs just stopped giving a damn and abandoned the DRM because there's no point in investing hundreds of dollars for something that goes down in a few hours-days after the release. CD Projekt are one of those devs for example. And they even said it in some interview - they are no longer going to bother with DRM on their games because there's no point. Do you remember what happened with Rockstar who invested 200$ in "unbreakable" protection? Razor1911 dealt with this protection in 4 days after the release. And for the consoles the things are even more frightening. Example: Gears of War 2 was released 3 weeks before the release.
So there's no point spending money on DRM. MS better leave it as it is. No matter if the DRM is just for the games or for the console too - they will fall sooner or later.

These people need to be hit with shovels.
The only two reasons I would want to have the original X1 back is so that the cloud is unlimited -- I was reading on Titanfall, and they said the cloud would help them have 30 NPC's running around the map in addition to the 6v6(or whatever it may be). I don't know if the reversal of this policy will affect that or not. 2.) The sharing feature was ridiculously good. It would save people so much money.

I was watching IGN Daily Fix last night, and they said that the family sharing feature may return if people want it....OF COURSE WE WANT IT, ASSHOLE! Lel. I really do hope they bring it back, though.
I gots a question for people who are actually BUYING the X1 - What's the first game you're gonna play on it? I'm thinking mine will be Ryse: Son of Rome.

but paying extra 100€ for something that will be turned off is a little bit too much don't you think?
I doubt they will drop it down that low. I think $450 is possible.
Hey guys, just remember if you don't like the Xbox One, you should just stick with the 360!

Yeah, I know the DRM shit was scrapped but honestly the fact they where going to do it, only really change at the last minute should be insulting enough for you to not get the Xbox One. Personally, I'm going to be going Ps4 this generation, whenever I have the cash to spare. I really don't think exclusives are going to pull me to drop the extra cash on a system I'll never use so more then likely I will never own an Xbox One. Who knows though, if I'm rolling in the cash. Maybe

Nobody denies this. Turning it off doesn't solve the problem. Because it needs to stay connected to the system. If people are paranoid about the kinect, turning it off won't change that paranoia because it stays connected.
I still don't plan to buy a Xbox One since they turn me off. Times like this makes me wish Halo would return to the PC.

Self-Publishing coming to Xbox One.
And the Xbox One can be used as a Dev Kit.
I probably won't be bothering with an Xbox One regardless of what they changed. They already showed their hand and there is a 100% chance that they will slowly, silently be rolling out all their proposed 'changes' anyway.
So instead of a quick hammer to the front of the skull, it's a slow poisoning with daily tea.

It's true, though. Team Xbox had the right idea, but Microsoft fat cats ruined it with paranoid anti-piracy measures and the worst PR in recent memory. Xbox was gonna cut the console generation-spanning bullshit and get to the point, but now we'll just have to see those features slowly reintroduced alongside Sony.

But it will be a time when high speed internet is more common or reliable. The only reason people care now is they have the audacity to do it while still supporting discs. I don't think anybody really cares about the military situation unless your in the milatary there just using it as ammunition for there argument but thats a massive part of peoples outrage really all people have a problem with is the fact they still support discs, or thats there reasoning. When it go's all digital the only thing for people to legitimately moan about is the fact that you have to be connected when not downloading. When Sony does it, it'll be when they have enough confidence that microsoft will follow suite and when internet is faster more robust and available more rurally which is clever business and even then I dont think it will go always online as there is no benift to that and even less benifit for a check in system

I dunno, what was so compelling about the features that aren't available? I don't see any of them that made sharing games better, I don't know for sure what features you are referring, but if it was the sharing games feature, then that was another bit off piss poor pr from microsoft as that feature is a lot less appealing than described as it was, a glorified demo service in effect and I dunno if most people knew that but I got the impression when it was first described that it was actually going to be better than manually sharing games when really it is a glorified trial system. Maybe I am regurgitating too many of GiantBombs opinions on the matter but I dont think any of the changes will effect the fact Sony are on the up microsoft are on the down and even though they are probably pretty even on features the momentum as well as the superior effort with developers means xbox at least needed to parody sony untill a digital only market is sustainable. The fact they retconned the original idea must mean 1. it wasn't that compelling anyway. 2. Evidence it wouldn't be successful 3. The console didn't really require online as much as they made out ie the cloud services which is just a buzz word for using servers to improve processing stuff not just on the xbox but in a server farm already happens on xbox 360 and is still possible now.
If I miss understood what you features you were refrencing I apologise but even if I am the friends and family sharing plan regardless was miss represented by xbox.
HOnestly the only reason I won't buy an xbox is due to there heavy focus on entertainment packages and telivision deals that don't affect any where but america, the only cool things they can do in the uk is get an iplayer app,,
Also it grinds my gears that you can't or at least couldn't use the xbone in a large selection of countries where there is no excuse not to be able to use it like poland for example there is no reason other than always online functionality that means it can't be played there, I dunno if that has changed now but there whole arrogance into the next generation although deserved hasn't worked
QuoteIf I miss understood what you features you were refrencing I apologise but even if I am the friends and family sharing plan regardless was miss represented by xbox.
I was really getting at the ultimate intention of transforming Xbox into a Steam-like service (which, last I checked, everybody loves (unless it's still 2004)). Nobody's 100% sure just how the family sharing thing would've worked, but it could have led somewhere very interesting if Microsoft hadn't shot itself in the foot so early on.
On the other hand, change is a terrible and scary thing.
I still yearn for the days when I didn't have to feed or clothe myself.

The fact that they tried to screw us over originally doesn't help with their confidence department. Seriously, would you trust a well known con man with anything important? I wouldn't, that's why I refuse to give Microsoft a pass.
Plus what's to stop them from putting those very same features back in once enough people bought their shitty console? Forget that, I rather trust another company that hasn't tried to screw its fans.

1) Limited HD, you cant replace your HD (unlike PC, and PS4) 2) The console doesn't run without a camera connected, I like my privacy. 3) I would rather game on a PC than an Xbox (at least I would have up to date software, and hardware). 4) I was semi-ranting so I couldn't help myself from using that word =P
I'm not hating though because I used to be a former 360 fanboy. I just don't think companies should get passes. It happened with [HORRIBLE EXAMPLE REMOVED] , happens with EA every time they do something awful (I'm guilty for still supporting them with The Sims =/), and now it's happening with Microsoft.
I'm sorry if my opinion for how companies should be viewed is different than yours.

That's not good enough. Why can't I not have the camera at all? Why do I need to plug it in to play a game that does not need motion control?
I don't like that.
Quoteand are you ignorant enough to compare the console war to an environmental disaster with which BP didnt actually get away with :s
First of all, I didn't put that much thought in thinking of horrible companies. I'll be honest I just went with the first few companies my mind came up with. Thinking back I probably should have pointed to something else like how the US Government is avoiding bills that restrict it (http://sourcefednews.com/house-fails-to-bring-down-nsa/) (NSA anyone?). So yes, I will give you that point. I should have put much more effort in that point, so I apologize on that note.
Second of all, I don't give a damn about console wars. I just want a device that plays well. I don't care what company makes it, and I don't stick with one brand. I would also like a company to not try to screw over the consumer. Both Nintendo, and Sony don't do this. I don't see why Microsoft has to try something so stupid/anti-consumer like this. Yes, I am aware that both Sony, and Nintendo have messed up in the past. I don't give them free passes, but at least they don't mess up like this.
Is it too hard to understand that there are some things that should be left alone? If I put down sixty dollar down for a product, I should be able to use it anyway I want to use it. How I want to use it. I don't want to be restricted especially by a console. I could easily deal with those restrictions on a PC, and get so much more out of it (Modding, Top notch gameplay (graphics, and whatnot)). I just like the simplicity of putting in a disk (I bought, and own), and playing the game I wish to play.
Okay, they removed that restriction. How do I know they won't put it back in? How do I trust them not to stab me in the back again? Why do I need to have Kinect when I don't need it, and most certainty can't find a use for it? How would I trust them not to use their Kinect to do weird stuff?
I don't, and I refuse to take that chance. Sorry if this opinion/post bothers people. I just wish that us pro-consumer people would not be viewed as "Hipsters" or people trying to be "Cool". I don't fight against things to be awesome. I'm not speaking out because I am a "hater".
I am against these things because I care how it effects others (not just myself).
Edit: Can I admit that there is one thing I like about the Xbone? Sure, but the feature I like is also on the PC.
the kinect doesnt need to be plugged in at all. i know it wont be on mine. next year the xbox one price will go down to below £300 ($400) as they are releasing a version without the kinect included. the kinect isnt needed for anything unless you want to play kinect games or voice recognition. microsoft have been shit at explaining this.

Why should I have to wait a year? That's f**king stupid.
It has been a PR nightmare. The price dropped xbox's of next year work more for me because if never bought a new console in its first week of release. At the moment I'm pushing more towards the Xbox because I think it has more potential than the PS4

I'm only laughing because many years ago, in Gameinformer with their Gameinfarcer April Fools articles, one of them was about doing a do-over for the 360. Life imitating art...amaze.

Playstation has always had the better and more exclusives anyway how many devs abandoned the SS Xbone?
Remedy, Rare, Crapcom, Insomniac and Crytek. Those are the only developers left to develop exclusive titles for Xbox None. I am not counting Turn 10 and other studios which are founded and currently owned by MS.

I gotta disagree with that.
The only good exclusive they seem to have is Titan Fall. And Killer Instinct, I guess. Many Halo fans think the franchise is deteriorating anyways since Bungie left it. Haven't heard anything about Gears of War in forever, even when the third was coming out.
Titan Fall might be a timed exclusive too.
There's supposed to be a PC release and a hand-me-down 360 version of Titanfall on the way. Maybe a PS4 port after a year from street date - I don't know how these things work (for now it's what you'd call a 'Microsoft Exclusive').
Although both Dead Rising 3 and Ryse look like strong launch title exclusives to me. I'm also intrigued by Quantum Break and whatever Black Tusk are working on (that all-too brief teaser reminded me of Perfect Dark). I reckon it'll be at least a few more years before Gears resurfaces, although Fable 4 may well be announced once Anniversary's out the door (and there're frequent rumours of Crackdown 3).
And Halo 4 turned out to be my favourite of the series so far, so I'm not counting that franchise out just yet.
Dead Rising 3 will probably be a timed exclusive too.
Sure it might, but since it's being published by Microsoft, those sticking with PS4 could be in for a long wait.
PC gamers... less long, obviously.
Waiting isn't a big deal when considering which console to get. Since we're supposed to be thinking long term.

No green on box 0/10 WILL NOT BUY
EDIT: f**k that massive brick thing is still in it? Cause I really needed one more thing to take up space with my console...
It comes with a headset... That's ok I guess but the 500gb is a bit of a let down. My god is that kinect fat, 3 USB port not bad, the HDMI In and Out is interesting, it'll make using the HD PVR 2 and upwards simpler.
The outside of the machine and what it comes with utility wise are good, it's the restriction inside that let this down but I'd of given it 2 USB ports at the front not 1 at the front and 2 at the back, seems stupid.

I look forward to seeing you on PS4! ;D
Totally worth it just for the sticker.
Btw this whole time I thought that Kinect is integrated in the console but I guess they had in mind that its just in the box and its still a separate device. Omg MS wtf!!! Are these guys retarded? Its not like there are more than 5 people who wants this piece of shit Shitect. The higher price is somehow acceptable if it was integrated WITHING THE CONSOLE but making you shallow something that you don't want to but you don't have a choice is just bs.
can you imagine what a big box would xbox one be if kinect was integrated in the console? :D

Honestly it wouldn't matter what MS did. You'd still harp on them. You're a PC elitist and a PS Fanboy. As soon as XB1 was announced you already decided you didn't like it.
I am DEFINITELY NOT a PS fanboy, I hate Sony :laugh: I may say I am more Xbox fanboy than PS. I loved my 2 360s way more than I loved all my PS consoles (I owned them all except the Vita). I would say I loved my second PSP which had CFW a ton but then I hated it because I've found myself playing on emulators only. PSP had a very crappy library, imo. I mean the games that were worthy were about 15 or lets say 20 at best and thats it... wtf Sony :/ But no matter how much I like Xbox I don't see why I must say that One is better than PS4 when its not? Also MS screwed it so bad that Xbox None is not even available in my country (and many others) so I can't buy even if it was good.
EDIT: And don't get me wrong - I will end up with the both consoles sooner or later for sure. Just like every other gen so far. I am not a slave of brands, I like to play on every platform available on the market :)

Actually, it's pretty retarded that you'd think the kinect would be integrated into the console.

Do you realize how hypocritical you are? You FREELY call other people NOT on this forum retards, but can't take it yourself. I used the same exact words to describe you, that you used to describe Microsoft.
There have been several pictures of the new kinect, there have been no rumors or even rumors of rumors that the kinect would be integrated. Also, all the other motion sensors for the consoles are integrated in. Do any PC's come with their webcams inside the tower?
In any of these new pictures of the Kinect is it any smaller, I'm not thinking of buying one I just want a reason not to laugh at this £429 console.

Soooooooooooooo, all the X1's(but not the PS4 or Wii for some strange reason) should all adapt their strategy from laptops. Something that is pretty much right in front of your face when ever you use it. Some people can't or don't want to put their X1's directly above or below their TV. Come on, dude, you claim to be so hardcore and smart when it comes to video games, think why having it built into the console wouldn't be a good idea. ::) ::) :)
I am claiming to be "so hardcore"? When? I am sure somebody altered my words once again :-\

I really believe that they needed to release before the PS4. They needed to make a splash before, so they could get some good press. The PS4 is gonna be a hard act to follow, unless it comes down with some major hardware problems in its first week.
Huh, I coulda swore I heard PS4 was coming around Christmas, I am apparently wrong.
This makes things better for my individual self. I have been neutral and waiting till both consoles are battle tested to make my one and only choice. Being released around the same time helps.

It aired during the first NFL game of the year. It's a great advertisement once you think about it. I pretty much guarantee they will only air it during big NFL games.
Now, if every commercial showed everything BUT video games, then that would be something.

Wut
What happened is that I thought that something was going down with the UNO because I heard rumors of it being bad news for the UNO. I went and took a look at Twitter and decided to dig a bit, and this is what I found (thanks to those that provided a link or two of a couple of these tweets).
Most recently, I edited my post at the top, because Sessler had JUST confirmed that it had nothing to do with the UNO. Yet it seems that something big is going to happen, but that it's probably going to apply to the video game industry as a whole.
So, what was that?
We don't know yet. So far it seems that everyone is under an NDA about what's actually going on.
What's "NDA"? What is "UNO"?

UNO is Xbox One, it's what I've been naming it since before this past E3. An NDA is an Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Mmmmh, that doesn't sound good...

Suspicious as f**k :-\
Been reading some stuff about Xbox One running COD Ghosts on 720p resolution instead of 1080 like the PS4. Also their exclusive game Ryse: Son of Rome running on only 900p resolution. Now this game is made by Crytek who are known for making games with impressive graphics. Now if they cannot hit 1080p on a next gen console its a bit of a worry. There were some game on the Ps3 that run on 1080p so it should be no problem for these new consoles.
Keeps looking worse and worse for the XBOX One which is a shame cause I really love the Xbox controller and have a live account.
But the PS4 is cheaper and appears to have more power and better graphics by the look of it. Hopefully the PS4 controller has improved and matches the Xbox controller now.

Ryse can't run at 1080p because it's being made by Crytek. They always make the most demanding games to begin with. It probably came down to either having less detailed graphics, and have it run at 1080p, or having better graphics and having the game run at 900p. Probably something along those lines. That is a weird resolution to run the game at though.

Going with SONY this gen. I love my 360 (PS3 took a but of time to get there), but SONY always comes out on top when it comes to delivering the types of games I want and a lot of new IPs.
I'll probably wind up getting the new Xbox purely for Halo. Most of the other games I'm interested in are multiplatform, so not too concerned about that.
Just a rumor:

People that have used it keep saying it feels pretty much like a 360 controller. Much more comfortable than the PS3's. And it LOOKS comfortable. I hope they're right.
I think they consciously tried to mimic that design. They wanted to trump Xbox this time around. They didn't hold back.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.i.cbsi.com%2Fcnwk.1d%2Fi%2Ftim%2F2013%2F02%2F21%2Fcontroller004.jpg&hash=dca5fd546c6a03e5db3469490b8226a87f342eb4)
If the joysticks aren't in the same location as the 360's, it's not going to feel the same at all. At least the shape of the controller is similar to the 360's.
It won't feel the same for sure, but maybe around that level of comfort. If the joystick placement is what bothers some, well then I guess there's no way around that. Specially if they are switching companies. They are too used to one way.
I've had both, and while I do prefer the Xbox joystick placement, the PS one has never stirred me wrong. I know some people are going to be frustrated about that placement(if they're switching companies), but it's not THAT bad. You get used to it.
I'm familiar and use both controllers frequently, but the 360 controller just... it feels right.
Nothing beats a keyboard and mouse though. ;)

Your probably right. But it still baffles me why they are still going with 720p when its a completely new generation of consoles. I wonder if the type of TV you have matters more than what platform a game is on when you consider graphics. However I have noticed that the Call of Duty games always look better to me on XBOX than Ps3 but Ps3's exclusives usually were the best looking games on the last generation.
Wonder if Sony would ever consider making a controller that had triggers like the Xbox one and the analog sticks in the same place as the Xbox controller. The PS3 controller just feels wrong to me now even though I liked it on Ps1, Ps2 and originally PS3.
It just seems that Sony have made a better product this generation (except the controller) and are selling it at a better price. Making up for the mistakes from launch of the last generation I guess. They seem to be treating the customers with more respect now.

Nope. It's not the TV that will decide which system looks better, it's the system itself. Multiplatform games always looked better on 360 because it was easier to develop and port for, while the PS3's architecture was a lot more complicated, and more difficult to work with. PS3 exclusives always looked better because the hardware is better than a 360's.

yeh I know but I think with this generation the PS4 is just as easy to make games for as the XBOX One if not easier, so I think the advantage Microsoft had with multiplatform games is gone and the PS$ is more powerful from what I have read so the exclusives should look better too..

720p is stunning on it. So is 1080p. Whatever difference there is, it's so small to be negligible unless you're physically
looking for it.
On PC you can notice the difference from 1km. On the consoles in 90% of the games the difference between 720p and 1080p is just slightly.

I'm not just talking about games. Movies, TV shows, everything, the difference is only there if you look for it.

There is no "wrong reason". Many people looks for games or movies (especially shit movies like Transformers) for the special effects, and they want to see them in their full potential. I'm not even a SFEX whore and have discovered myself checking closely the little details of the graphics when I'm at the cinema.
Of course I'd prefer whatever media I paid for in the best quality available.

2007 is the year where games pretty much hit graphical perfection for me. Halo 3, CoD 4, BioShock, all absolutely stellar looking games, and all of them hold up damned well today (well, except for BS's lip-synching, that was always a bit off). All the advancements since then, sure, they've been very nice, but they've never added too much. We've gotten to a point of diminishing returns, where major upgrades in graphics lead to only minute differences in visuals.

Right...cause the millions of people/massive community constantly bitch about the graphics and stuffs.
To me, a slight graphical increase will do nothing to improve my enjoyment. Using BF4 as an example, the PC's biggest advantage compared to PS3 and 360, is that its 32 v 32 and not 12 v 12. Not it's superior graphics.
Why would you mention Minecraft? ??? On the PC version of Minecraft, you can install mods to make it look amazing, make it run at higher fps(100 for me), and have an even higher player count....
Slight difference?
Yeah, I know. Player count is the most important part... why would you even bring that up? Gameplay always comes first, but it doesn't hurt to have amazing looking games as well. For some reason you guys like to think of superior graphics as a negative thing, when it's coming from a PC. :-\
No. What I'm saying is, I don't care about the tiny technical aspects of the graphics. 720 vs 1080 is completely pointless, because when you get down to it, in the middle of a game, you're not going to notice the difference. If it looks good when I'm playing, then that's all I care about. Be it Marathon or BioShock: Infinite, as long as the art direction and aesthetic of the game is strong, I'm good.
As for 100fps, that's just useless. Your eye can't even see 100fps.

I wasn't really arguing with you. I agree that 720p vs. 1080p isn't
that big of a difference on consoles, but when you're using a PC it seems like the difference is even more noticeable. It's probably due to super sampling, and anti aliasing(which is in limited use on consoles) though.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I mean, even between GTA IV (2008) and Red Dead Redemption (2010) (which ended up being the base for Max Payne 3 and GTA V), the improvements in graphical fidelity have been immense. Even in a smaller time frame, between Modern Warfare (2007) and Modern Warfare 2 (2009), or Mass Effect (2007) and Mass Effect 2 (early 2010), presentational values have been upped much
higher, be it in animation, lighting, texture fidelity, performance capture, anything, really. If anything, I'd say 2007 was the last year of the
first stage of console graphical technology, and since then, for AAA titles at least, everything has been on the rise.
Perhaps the greatest thing to demonstrate this, aside from Rockstar's improvements, is the shift from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007) to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (2009), where it almost appeared as if there was a console generation gap. That change ended up being pretty telling for the way graphical technology on consoles was headed.
What I mean is, when I go back to older games, 2007 is generally the cutoff year graphically; everything before that, I can really notice the difference in graphics. Everything from that year on, it all kinda just fades away into background to the gameplay.
Obviously there have been major advances in the interim. I'm just saying that the advances are becoming less and less noticeable as the years go on.
Well, that'... your opinion, man ;)

As for 100fps, that's just useless. Your eye can't even see 100fps.
You heard that from the comments in YT right? :laugh:
Studies of the human eye, actually.

When I don't get 120fps I think the game is lagging. :laugh:
Maybe there isn't a difference past 100, but there is a f**king HUGE difference going from a consoles 30/60fps to 120.
No f**king surprise why the consoles get away with the 30fps games.... There are people who believe there is no difference past 60.. omg..
Start playing CS on competitive level for a while and you will notice the difference between 60 and 100 fps very quickly ;)

It's necessary if we're talking about fps here. Console players don't have a reference point for things over 60fps. :P
There really needs to be a thread dedicated to PC wanking, but I'm pretty sure the PC elite can't exist in an environment purely comprised of themselves, without being able to tell somebody that they're gaming wrong.
If anybody was truly enticed or gave any shits, they'd upgrade their PC already.

I'll wait a few years, but If I come across money soon, then I'll buy it. Can't f**king wait for Killer Instinct any longer!
I don't see the point in just rushing in to get it day one. If you wait than you can see post-release reviews, have more time to save up money, and maybe get a deal or price lowering around Christmas time or beyond.

It's not really rushing. We traded in a broken PS3 and 360 and got almost 160 dollars in credit which we applied to the X1, so they definitely helps with the price. I wanna get both consoles, no doubt, but I like a lot of the things the X1 does and most of my friends are getting it first, too.

I agree with the caption; I can't see a huge difference. It's definitely
there, if I look for it, but it's nothing much.
The motion blurred ones looked better in both cases, though.

I see it almost instantly, but yeah, motion blur definitely looks better for both frame rates. Trust me though, you'll be able to feel the difference right away when you start playing the games on next gen consoles. I believe almost every game, for the next gen, is aiming for 60fps, which is good awesome.
EDIT: I suppose it is a lot more difficult to see the difference in a gif, but oh well.
Quote from: Magegg on Nov 01, 2013, 03:00:54 AM

Easy now.
There was actually an option in the first Bioshock to up the framerate at a chance of a slightly slower performance (never happened in my experience with it), and it looked fantastically smooth. I wish that option made it into Bioshock Infinite, but it may have been too much to process with the wide-open spaces and everything, seeing as it was already pushing current gen capabilities.

I'm sure he'll find that he's been cheated when he comes back here, and figures out that he spent $300+ just to test that gif.

They had that option? That's pretty cool, as consoles rarely provide you with any options for that. What do you mean by a higher framerate, but lower performance? Do you mean that it lowered the qualities of other shit?
Oh, just double checked, it wasn't to lower the performance, but a possibility of lower texture quality-- again, never noted a difference. But yeah, it's the only console game I've seen offer that, and it looked/played great.
I'd imagine it'd play great. Framerate always comes first.

Good gad look at those game sizes. The largest game I downloaded was almost 8 gigs, for ACII.
Overall, seems the guy really likes it. Said the kinect navigation was "INSANE", the console was quiet, the power brick is barely warm after 3 hours, the connection cords are long(I guess), you can start to play games at 50% of download. Only bad thing he had to say about it was that the game DVR was a bit lacking.

f**k me next generation and it cannot even work if you don't get a patch. Can you watch a Blu-ray on it or does it still require a patch?
glad I decided to wait and buy a next generation console at launch.
Just takes a few minutes connected to the internet. Did you honestly never update your 360? I'd be surprised if the latest games worked on a non-patched 2005 machine (if there are any left that didn't catch RROD), there are certainly plenty of them that launch with day 1 patches.

yeh I have internet connection and always update stuff on my Xbox but I still want to wait before I buy a next generation console. Just learn some things and see what the reviews and customer thoughts are about the two new machines. Though I would not want to be someone who is in an area with bad internet.
I have ok internet but Australia's internet from what I know lags behind countries like the U.S and UK. Its good enough but I guess many other countries have pretty crappy internet.

Hey according to the new South Park episode Xbox is better ;D
So who owns the xbox 360 and is getting the xbox one?
I am the proud owner of the xbox 360, I am get nothing next gen until sometime in next year, currently neutral.
I am just afraid to lose all my friends who I know on xbox 360 to xbox one and never see them again.
I was worried about that at first, now I'm leaning towards indifferent in that respect. That said your sentiment is understandable.
Pro'lly end up getting XB1 for sure, simply because Halo.
Ultimate best-case scenario, I get both consoles.
I just want to be the hip kid on the block.
It's almost guaranteed that I'll get an Xbox UNO (a long time from now), there is just now way in freaking hell that I'm not going to experience the new Killer Instinct. I would regret it forever.

Aren't you forced to go online once per 24 hours for the Online DRM check? (like a prisoner :laugh: )
Dude... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
No, there is no DRM.
I didn't know man. I am not following the Xb None that much, that just was the rumor back then.

So who owns the xbox 360 and is getting the xbox one?
Haven't owned a 360 since 08, probably won't get an X1 until years from now. :P
At least until they make a Halo bundle. 8)

Most likely, but I want both consoles.

better value for money
Sure - XBO - 499$, PS4 - 399$.
Also the XBO is not offered in various EU countries which means less sales = less customers than on PS4 which is offered in every country. PS4 is cheaper and its offered to bigger amount of people.
in the UK it's only 50 pound more so it's not that much if a difference and your getting features which are very useful, especially to me. whilst I will be buying it to play games primarily I don't mind compromising some performance for the features of the xb1. If I was a hardcore gamer it would have to be the ps4. I think iv started growing out of playing games now which is pretty sad :( but at the end if the day when I will be playing games I won't notice the difference from 6 feet away on my sofa. I do t even notice the difference between my ps3 and 360 now
50 pounds is 100$ isn't it? :laugh:

Good thing I plan on eventually getting both. 8)
I'm not sure but judging by the new South Park episodes I'm thinking Trey and Matt are Xbox men ;)
£50 is around $80. I'm probably gunna do the same as I did with the last gen consoles - buy the Xbox then a year later the ps4.
45 minutes until the last country gets it! AAGGGGHHoghaa'orfg[asoiunb

!! how on earth do you play online?? Xbox Live is and has always been FAR superior to PS, that's why Xbox 360 out stripped the PS3. Getting the XBO is a no brainer if you want good online play.
So the guy with the highest gamerscore in the world, 954k, is named Ryan Cox and he is a country sounding fellow. He got a the ultra-rare XboxOne and a lifetime Xbox LIVE gold membership.
Just in case anybody was wondering.
Lifetime Xbox LIVE Gold? Jesus... :o

Maybe cause I didn't have the money to pay for the online every couple of months?
And the only major exclusive I cared for was Halo?
Why waste my money on something I'll only play every few years for a few weeks?
Plus PSN never failed me once (the hacking is a completely different thing altogether), so I'll gladly support Sony's online. :P
Oh, and most of my friends had PS3's (or all 3 previous gen consoles) so there's that too. :P
Besides that, both services are paid now :laugh:

True but I'm looking for a job anyways, so soon I'll be able to pay for the online on either whenever I get one.
I pay £40 for a years subscription to Xbox Live Gold, pretty good deal really.

I wonder how many achievements he unlocked with a profile editor. No doubt he still plays xbox too much, though.
Agree. When MGC was still on there were constant bans of the top ranked players because of the usage of profile editing. This guy used illegal stuff for sure. Like most of the top ranked players.

It's actually pretty easy to get away with.
Spoiler
1. Don't unlock achievements that can only be earned online (lack of timestamp is dead giveaway).
2. Don't earn a bunch of achievements rapidly or in the wrong order if it's not normally possible to do so.
3. Don't discuss or message anybody about it using services that can link to your account(s).
4. Don't boost with the same people, since many games detect that now.
5. For high gamer score, edit your profile slowly overtime with offline games only.
I never edited achievements, but I did use game saves to avoid collecting thousands of things. I boosted like a motherf**ker in halo 3 and never got caught or reset because I used gold trial accounts and used the "same language" preference to pair with friends in ranked solo matches. I did a lot of map modding and save hexing, and even to this day I've been using a cheap flashed 250GB hard drive for 4 years with no problems.
On top of all this, my first year on xbox live I glitched and cheated like a bitch and never got anything more than a 5 day suspension. Crabwalking in gears of war and standby killing in the original saints row, those were the days. I should say my gaming ethic is a lot better now--has to be if you want to play online with pc.
Yeah I know, I know mate :laugh: I've been in the same boat as you with a few accs :laugh:

Likewise, man. I'm gonna end up getting both consoles, hopefully by the end of next year, but based on what I'm hearing from reviews of the XB1, it's seeming more in-line with what I want my first experience with the next-gen consoles to be like.
Definitely want some of that PS4. Really wanna play Killzone: Shadow Fall, if just for the sexyness of it.

You can't really pin the fault on the Countries, Xbox One should have better compatibility.
But hey there's horror stories all over the show when a new console releases.

So when i arrive at gamestop there was 4 kids sitting in chairs and one of them was an employee and said that they don't open till 6 and i got him to tell me how many xbox ones were in stock! '8' and all 4 of them were getting Ones! I said f**k it and had a friend bring me a chair and a blanket...... froze my ass off in New England weather for 7-8 hours for this bitch! Pretty sure i got frostbite on my pinky toe!
Anyways goodnight and hope to see you all on soon!

People are still arguing? And here I am actually playing the games.
Nah, its not people arguing just some funny false advertising by MS :laugh:
A few of my friends have bought the new Xbone on release but have since sold it on.
The reasons were...something to do with the TV output or whatever not working on UK TV's?
Not being able to play online with 360 owners.
Not being able to play older 360 games (this is a huge let down).
Not having a good games download section or not having Indie games?.
I'm not overly sure what they mean with a few of them as I still have the 360 and I'm not up on all the gadgets and download tech (I only play the odd games).
They all said they were very disappointed which scares me as I don't want a PS4.
Honestly, they should have known all that for awhile now.
There aren't a whole lot of game out yet...because it just got released. The PS4 does have more game, most of which are indie games.
I agree that the lack of backwards compatibility sucks, but if you can just keep your 360 around, its not that big of a problem.
It's a fine piece of entertainment. I've had it since day one, and it runs smoothly, the voice commands are pretty awesome, and BF4 plays great on it(save for the occasional server hiccup).

love it! although i got home today after buying assassins creed and couldn't sign on because of a security risk saying someone may have tried getting on my account and now i have to wait for support from hotmail to contact me in 24 hours which is annoying as f**k! The system itself though is awesome!
Waaaat. That sucks, man! Hopefully every things all good.
Wanting to get ACIV, too. Hopefully around Christmas time. I only got Battlefield 4, which is awesome and got a much needed patch this morning.

Muahahahah- that three game losing streak, though. :'(
It's looking pretty great. Kinda weird though, it doesn't feature a Single-Player campaign, instead it will incorporate story elements into the Multiplayer. Not sure how that will work out.
Been playing Killer Instinct and Ryse. Both are super impressive, for different reasons. I've also been a big KI fan since the originals came out. Ryse looks downright amazing and the execution/combo system is satisfying. A tad repetitive, but the satisfaction makes up for it.
One feature I'm in love with now is the HDMI pass-thru. I have an antenna box going through it that the IR blaster on the Kinect will control. So now I can walk into my living room, say Xbox, On, it fires up, turns on my TV, and the antenna box. From there I can tell it to go to the OneGuide and select whatever I want to watch. I can aslo tell it to turn up the volume on my TV. I have a $200 logitech harmony remote that was just rendered useless. :P

Since they're stuck at 30 fps, add 33.3ms input lag, and if the mouse only polls at 125hz, add 8ms, if they're using a tv that isn't good for gaming, add another 25-100ms of input lag, and since consoles
never show you your ping and rarely let you prioritize low latency, well, let's just say dis gon be good for lag lovers.

Going from what I've seen on his video, it looks like the DRM has been there the whole time.
this has never happened to me. i have killer instinct and i'v installed every game i have except battlefield 4 and not received this message playing either online or offline.

Well the only pro of this is the voice switch option which is VERY handy. Otherwise, you can do this (playing 2 consoles at once duh) on every monitor or TV with 2 random ports (HDMI, DVI, it doesn't matter). I am doing the same thing with my 360 and my PC right now, but I am switching between the "screens" with the button instead of using voice command. The title is misleading because he is not playing the game on X1. He is using it as alternative screen switch lol.
true and the pic is even more misleading. although i find it much more convenient as instead of using two consoles it feels more like im using one.

Got it.
I play the sh*t out of Killer Instinct, Titanfall, and forza (Ryse is fun but not a lot of lasting appeal), but this is how I use the X1 about 50% of the time. It's about the coolest multifunction device out there, imo.

I owned both, buying the XBO first, but after acquiring the PS4 it was easy to see the quite enormous gap in performance quality. My rational at the time was, why be a fanboy and hate on one or the other and just have both, but alas, there was no need for both after experiencing the PS4.
Dead rising 3 for the one as well as Ryse, we're very fun, but those aside, even third party games looked and ran so much more optimally on the competitions hardware. I do like the UPLOAD app, however. It came in handy for my YouTube channel, but that is hardly a reason to keep an unused machine.

Wasn't getting it till September-October, so I suppose that's extra good news, time to fix any more problems (if any more exist, I don't know).
This news makes me happy.
I originally wasn't going to an xbox, but now that they did this I am considering. I'm still iffy with them when it comes to trust thanks to their original plans around DRM, but using an x1 only for exclusives sounds about right.
Right now I'm still PS4, but I'm currently on the fence now when it comes to the Xbone.
I'm pretty much just getting all the current consoles for their exclusives, gonna try to (hopefully) go PC for anything multiplatform. :laugh:
Just like it should be ;)

Check it, peasants. If you're going to get the Xbone, you might as well get the best bundle.

U.K only.
We have U.K. members on here and it's more than likely that North America will get something similar.

Wow, I never ever ever ever knew that.
Glad I could help you learn some shit then.
But according to his letters to Celestia, he didn't learn anything...

Not too shabby, but I'm still planning to hold off until Gears 4.
That series is still going on?

Not-so-secretly being worked on.
And it is gonna be... adequate at the very least, I'm sure.
The new one won't be any better than Judgement. There's almost no one left from the original crew that worked on the first 3 games so it's basically over for the series.
I'll be content just so long as Black Tusk leave out the arcadey score attack stuff from Judgement.
Still, it's a long way off. I look forward to the brief cinematic teaser at next year's E3.

So I'm going to be picking up the White Xbox One Sunset Overdrive bundle as a Christmas present for my brother on day of release, as he bought me a PS4 last year as a gift and this is my way of doing the same in return, going to be picking up Halo MCC, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall and Possibly Ryse, along with a play and charge pack and gold subscription a few weeks after.
My question is, is there any other games I should get for the system or any accessories you guys/girls would recommend?
Things are looking good for me buying an UNO. Gonna go for that Unity bundle soon. Maybe late Nov. or Early Dec. Since I also still need to save up or hustle for the Master Chief Collection.

You can play those games on PC :\
By next week I'l be owning one of these, I hope it's worth it :-\
If anyone wants to go 1-17 vs 1 predator on Ruins in private matches on COD: GHOSTS add me on xbox one! My tag is the same as here: Predatorium
It's really fun since all perks and classes are unlocked and map length and score limit can be adjusted by the host etc! You can let the one player on the other team get the predator and then you hunt him down. Or team deathmatch games like normal but without the constant waiting for the map!
I like playing the predator in cod ghosts because it's really well made, fast, lethal.
A tip: if you have the game, what's also really fun to do is to go splitscreen one on one with a friend. Kinda like Dutch vs Predator :) Or join me in splitscreen mode too.
Playing against the bots sucks because they can still see you when you are cloaked.

I brought one Monday night! I'd missed my Xbox so much. It feels so nice to hold that controller again. ;D Only have Halo so far though.

You can use the same controller on PC <.<
I like to use a Nostromo pad on the PC. It's just the way I've always gamed on the PC.
I had to google that shit out. Man, I think this would kickass in X3 or Elite Frontier :'(
the x-box one is very cool it has so much features.
Just picked one up yesterday for half off with black flag, unity, and GTA5. So far I'm having a lot of fun with it and it just feels good to hold an xbox controller again.
So I turned it on this morning to play some MCC. Game updated, then wouldn't play. Rebooted the machine, game loaded up fine, froze during gameplay and shut down. Then when I tried to turn it on it would shut back down after a few seconds. Now it wont turn on at all.
The PSU is recieving power (it's an orange light) and I made sure it was plugged in properly. Has anyone else had any similar issues?
The MCC's multiplayer has been pretty much broken since launch. I think the most recent update made it a bit better, but it's still not close to completely fixed.
I think they're gonna be giving everyone that has it ODST as a sort of consolation, though.

Your system might be fine. A hacker group took down the Playstation Network and Xbox Live today. So you probably got f**ked just as it was attacked.
Huh, that sucks. :-\
But the MCC has been broken since release.

I was playing SP - I've only had a few MP games so far. Don't think it'll be related to the DDOS attack. Seems more like a hardware issue.
I heard about ODST - but I didn't buy mine at launch, it was a few days later. So I'm not sure how it'll go down.
Can anyone recommend Dragon Age: Inquisition or Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor? I'm trying to decide on which one to get, but I've never heard anything but raving reviews of both and I've never played a Dragon Age game.
Im going to pick up Mordor tomorrow.

I don't care for either too much, but from everything I've been told from friends and trustworthy sources you're better off getting Shadow of Mordor. :P

For what reasons, if I may ask?
If you didn't heard about it, Microsoft is planning to buy AMD. That would spare them of the 100$ they need for each chip. Could that mean an even cheaper Xbox One?
Some of these things are outdated.

That's not exactly factual...
It's also incredibly misleading on several points.
Sony lead the DRM fight against consumers.
Firstbox played DVDs and the point about bluray relates to before it became industry standard (Microsoft was backing HD while others backed Bluray).
...there's more disinformation in that video than I really care to go through.
Want to play some Halo 2, 3 campaign with any of ya; tried getting my friends to play couple of missions, no avail....

I just hope the Scorpio improves the performance of current games, like how Xbox 360 games actually seem to run better on the Xbox One.

Here's a proper 4k shot of Forza on The Scorpio..
(https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2017/screenshots/Forza-Tech-Screenshot.png)
I'm pretty happy about this. Upgraded to a 4k TV and I have nothing to play/watch on it in 4k.
That is a strange looking console. "I'll say, 'What is the monolith from 2001?', Alex"
Thats an ugly console, not that looks matter much.
I hope they release a cheaper model without a disc drive.
I mean a version of the Series X without a disc drive, not the Series S. I don't use physical media anymore, but I still want the more powerful hardware of the X.

I'm guessing they will. Maybe not at launch, though.
I probably won't get it at launch anyway. I already have an Xbox One X and a 360.
I have one game on physical media (Arkham Origins) and that's only because they haven't released it for digital download. I also have quite a few 360 games on its hard drive that were never made backward compatible (some of which were de-listed and can no longer be obtained).

What's wrong with it?
It is nothing but advertising if you scroll down now, it used to just be my groups of applications and video games, now I can only display two groups and remove none of this f**king crap.
As if not enough it sends me to a grey screen every so often where I can only escape by restarting it.
So not just ugly but shit as well.
Why is there so much empty space at the top of the screen? Is something supposed to be displayed there?
