Thank you for such a reasoned, well thought out assessment.

I'm waiting for it to fully conclude to give my giganto-rant.


So far, its pretty hilarious.    They're not mentioning any games and are showing off foofoo media center crap.

EDIT:

He just said "this is rocket science level stuff"

wow.

[Arkhan]

Ok, so.

Thus far:
The Xbox One uses "rocket science technology"
Foo Foo Media center bullshit
Built in Kinect/Glass flailing
EA games and their fake as f*ck bullshit about how they care about games.
Phil Spencer talking about storytelling in games, and innovative gameplay (lolright), followed by "new first ever experiences".

More pretentious crap

Hilary Clinton came out to talk about some stupid shit about TV.


So over the course of this whole thing, aside from buzzwords being thrown around in relation to gaming, they've said nothing really about the gameplay.

but hey, it'll be great for watching movies!
EDIT:

oh right, and then the CEO duder comes out, rambles,

and then Call of Duty.

Yeah.

I've gotta agree w/Arkhan. Looks terrible. Based solely upon their presentation, it truly is "Dudebro: The Console".

They spent more time talking about fantasy football features than showing gameplay footage. And that's not an exaggeration. It's a glorified cable box that plays Call of Duty. Great.

Dudebro 360!


It was pretty lackluster.

Hmmm.  I really liked what I seen.  Except the name....  We use our 360 mainly for media anyway, so it really caters to what we enjoy. 

[Arkhan]

but..

its a game console... -_- lol.

Yay! We get to pay to play pre-owned games! And the news just gets better!

Microsoft has confirmed that all Xbox One games will require mandatory installation onto the system's hard drive and, to install the same disc onto another user's drive, a fee must be paid.

Individual games will be tied to Xbox Live accounts, Microsoft said, meaning that the software giant can detect whether a game has been sold to a retailer and repurchased, or handed from one friend to another. In such instances, the second user must pay a fee.

"On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play," a Microsoft representative told Wired.

The company added that, once discs are installed on the hard drive, games can be played without a disc being in the tray.

The Wired article then elaborates: "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."

It added: "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."

Microsoft did not disclose what the second-user fee would amount too, and did not clarify further on the matter.

The article claims that there is no sweeping 'always-online' requirement for future Xbox One games.

Not even seen the presentation but it has fail written all over it from what I know so far (and I really enjoy my 360).

Pay for pre-owned : Fail
No backwards compatibility : Fail
No transfer of XBLA games : Fail
All games need installation : Fail

Why not just use my PC instead? Or even go back to supporting Nintendo.

[Arkhan]

^^^^^ Yeah. 

[Nando]

and look at this shit

[Arkhan]

Yeah! 

I don't understand why they're all up on the whole "lets be a media center" thing.

Just put a f*cking disc tray, a controller port, and make games happen.   

[Nando]

Yeah!

Because Bill Gates wet dream is finally coming true, albeit a tad bit after Steve's wet dream.

Sony and Nintendo are doing the same.

[Arkhan]

Hey, the Wii U is still focused on gaming.

It's just focused on that annoying "social friendly gaming" shit where you have to  have friends and like talking to people.

What the hell's that shit.
