The Official Xbox One Thread

MWF3 was never state of the art

 

[Durvelle27]

Atleast the graphics are better in COD

 

[lupi]

Wait.. people actually play the Call of Duty campaign?

um, haven't played MP in them in several years.

 

[Fingolfin269]

This thread cracks me up. So did the PS4 one.

 

[Durvelle27]

Wow, not a single thing that excited me in the entire presentation. Good job, Microsoft.

 

[KeithTalent]

I hope the Kinect works as well as they seem to hope it will. If it can detect subtle movements so I can use it for things like yoga, then it will most likely get money since most of the other stuff does not seem to be that different from the PS4.

I actually like the voice stuff. Kind of like Iron Man's Jarvis, if it works as good as they hope it does.

The only interesting things I saw from this presentation:

- 8gb of RAM
- New Remedy game
- Slightly improved controller

That's it. The rest of it was sports, TV, movies, and a bunch of other multimedia nonsense I don't care about. Call of Duty will be fun I guess, but I'll play it on PC before I play it on Xbox.

I liked what I saw, pretty good presentation. New console looks good, name really isn't as dumb as some of you think it is, slightly redesigned controller looks good. 500GB hard drive is sweet, no mention of it NOT being standard. Blu-ray, hell yes. 8GB of RAM, hell yes. New Kinect looks good and comes standard, that might help innovation big time since developers know everybody will have one.

I don't care much about the TV stuff but it doesn't bother me it's there like it does some of you.

What were you expecting?

 

[-Slacker-]

this has been going on for years, it's not a new concept to the industry.

But not to this extent. FIFA? Call of Duty? Granted, these are titles that I don't care about, but they are practically the most popular games in the world, and they will grab a lot of market share from the PC and ps4, which will force a lot more devs to make yet more exclusives for the console ... I ... don't want an xbox. I really don't.

 

[Dankk]

What were you expecting?

Knowing Microsoft, nothing exciting, sadly. I knew they'd be peddling Kinect and other casual features.

 

[American Gunner]

I just wonder about the always online. I liked the presentation though.

 

[TheSlamma]

What were you expecting?

I would have liked no Halo and CoD and just more of the device itself. Leave the games for other conferences, especially if it's just gonna be reused to death IP's. The news about the original IP's is a great tidbit though

CPU? GPU? what is the always online about? How is the controller better? Why an integrated battery?

 

[Kev]

They didn't even announce the price. What a waste of time.

E3 for most of those I think. This was a teaser. But if the majority opinion in this thread is truly indicative of the market then they probably should have saved their money.

And why integrated battery? Either the controller needs some proprietary battery (doubtful) or they want to force you to buy a new controller eventually (likely) are my guesses.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Well...sports games a bunch of casual TV stuff and forza with cod. Dunno guys...

At least Sony showed us something amazing from capcom with their deep down tech demo.

I really hope the future of the industry is a bit better than what Microsoft is trying to show us.

Sony stocks just shot upward: http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=SNE

You get excited for Tech Demo's? Geoff Keighley just tweeted that Don Mattrick confirmed that it is not always on required.

 

[Gunbuster]

I'm 90% media on my G1 360. The slow system boot and app loads for things like Netflix are my main gripe so bring on the One! Plus it will have Kinect so my wife will be happy with workout and dance games...

Integrated battery just makes sense. The PS3 had them. Oh, but only MS wants us to buy a new controller rather than force us to buy a controller AND a $20 battery pack right? Clearly they are the evil ones.

 

[smackababy]

I am sure a lot of the integration stuff requires online (obviously), but the "core" functionality of playing single player games is there without it.

Funny, how I said the exact same thing (about having a heavily data rich environment that requires online but not required to play games) when this stupid rumor came about the first time.

 

[Raduque]

I just wonder about the always online. I liked the presentation though.

I think it's more of an "Always connected" versus "always online". 90% of the features other than games they showed looks like it wouldn't work if the consol wasn't connected to the internet.

Wait.. people actually play the Call of Duty campaign?

I do, which is why I haven't played a CoD game since the first Modern Warfare.

I'm interested in this new Xbox. If it can do video streaming from a media share (IE: WHS, PS Media Server, etc) then I think I could eliminate a couple of HTPCs now.

CPU? GPU? what is the always online about? How is the controller better? Why an integrated battery?

CPU and GPU aren't really important to 96% of the market. The controller has programmable haptics. It's "always online" because more than half the features shown are all Internet-centric features.

 

[Cuda1447]

What I want out of my Xbox ONE (what do I call it? The new xbox? The one? I'm certainly not calling it XBOX ONE, I don't say Xbox 360, so just say 360.... so now do I say ONE?.... so confused....) sh**... I totally forgot now. F***.


Please refrain from cursing in the technical forums.

Thank you.
