    Default Xbox One Discussion

    This was the general consensus about the Xbox One Reveal:



    I get the idea that integrating all the living room's devices onto one box is neat, but it's benefits are definitely going to vary based on where you live and your current TV subscriptions.

    For Gamers, they said there are 15 unannounced exclusives coming to Xbox One. Half will likely be for Kinect, but for core experiences, we'll have to see.

    E3 is on the way, but my initial impressions of Xbox One are mostly negative.


    What are your thoughts on the console and its features?

    Saw very little to sway me away from the PS4, and even some proper teasers of exclusives would have been nice. After all, surely it's the first-party games that will sell a console over its rivals? Round one to Sony for me I think.

    My biggest concern is that Pre-owned fee for XboxOne. Basically all games have to be installed to the HDD. If you bring then the disc to a friends house and put it in their system, on their account, you have to pay a fee to use/install it.

    Obviously this is a flat out "hell no" when it comes to getting the console, but have Sony 100% confirmed that this feature isn't on the PS4 as well? I can't find a source.

    100% unimpressed. Laughed so hard when I started yelling out what I thought was going to happen, and low and behold I was 80% accurate. All I took from that whole presentation was SPORTS, losts of sports, something about movie directors, Steven Spielberg, Halo TV show, Call Of Doggy. Never mind how ambiguous they have been about "online all the time" and the pay to play pre owned nonsense. I hope they focus more on games at E3.

    The biggest highlight for me was Infinity Ward's enthusiasm, about the fact that Fish now move out of the way when you swim past them. This is the feature that gamers have been longing for their whole lives.

    Here is a shot of the back of the Xbox One.

    As you can see it's pretty standard, with USB 3.0, Kinect port, ethernet etc. The most interesting part is that it has two HDMI ports. HDMI Out, for connecting to your TV, and HDMI In, which I'm guessing is for connecting to your PS4, so that you can use Kinect's voice recognition to switch seamlessly to the better console?

    "Xbox, Play PlayStation!"

    As bad as the event was, everyone wins when it comes to E3. There is so much we don't fully know about these new consoles and their games. I think it'll be hard for Microsoft to have a bad conference at E3, as there will be a lot of reveals, but the competition also has a lot to show, which means that our expectations for the event are through the roof.

    From a video eric aka ag wolf showed me on facebook.

    Tv was all the thrill and talks for this hunk of money wasting n time to have.

    So I can hook up my cable system directly into the console?
    I can probably no longer use disk games into it and download all the games into the console?
    Oh do i have to own and use an xbox live account to do all those dl's?


    Can I go put a my boot up those guys in Xboxs ASS so hard!
    They won't think to go so ****ing stupid. To make their next console. So one dimensional. That u have to be in a specific group to play and do games.

    Oh welcome to using and getting the blue ray player!

    Still more late than that bullshit Bush had done in his second term and how the republicans on congress are still clueless ton what their spending on and trying to get back.

    I was never in a real hurry to get the new Xbox one, and...to be frank I'm in no hurry for the Wii U nor PS4.

    I feel there's plenty I've yet to play for the PS3 (more so once I get one of my own), and maybe the 360. I'm going to take a 'wait and see' approach to see just how it all pans out. Though again...I'm in no hurry and I learned well before even the reveal of the Xbox 360 or PS3 to more or less, not give into any would be hype. It seldom is worth it (MGS4 for me is an exception, but that's a ramble for another time) to my experience and observation.

    But so far personally, I've got little reason to be excited over the Xbox One...IF I were to ever get one, it would probably be 2 or 3 years down the line.

    And that's my two cents on the matter.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTAKSBvuT-A#t=93s - Official G4 video, full interview

    I can't believe they are ****ing up this badly. I'm thinking if they announce a Kinect-less console bundle and remove all those restrictions they're gonna have a chance, but what the **** man.

    Both links are the same video, in case one gets removed or whatever.
    EDIT: Yeah, they're pulling them. I'm adding more links, plus a Liveleak one (Liveleak contains many NSFW videos be careful) that they can't remove as easily.
    EDIT 2: Still adding more, plus official G4 link with time-code to relevant part - 1:35 for mobile users (Don't know if this one will stay up either or if MS will ask them to pull it due to the amount of W.T.F. in it.)

    Watched the interview...and while I get what the guy was saying, part of me can't help but just think 'PR buffer/padding/smoke screen'. But it's only digging the hole deeper, but this is Microsoft, part of me isn't surpirsed.

    None the less...in regards to everything, I'm still still taking a wait and see approach. a

    Although if I HAD to pick between a PS4, Wii U and Xbox one, oh yeah, a PC rig. My choices would likely be...

    PC, PS4, and Wii U (depends on such things like racing line). Time will tell and things may change, or not.

    Xbone is such a farcical farce. PS4 has done everything right this time; I'm convinced

    Copyrighted used games? Thank you very much Microsoft. You screwed it up really badly. Need to be online to play games? £80 more expensive than the PS4?

    Very very very excellent console. I'm convinced I'll buy an Xbox One.

    *facepalm*
