Funny that PS4 didnt even show the console but they had a waaaay better conference than that..i know E3 is just around the corner and they are just saving it for that but still..they focused way too much on ''THIS IS THE ALL IN ONE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM TV INTERNET SKYPE BLAH BLAH'' than the games

And its obvious that that dog is only in the new call of duty to give the player an emotional response when he dies..blah

We hope they'll show tons of games at E3 but, you just never know with MS nowadays.

Seems the ram is GGDR3. Advantage to Sony there.

Always on not mandatory, thank goodness.

What I miss then?

FUCCK THAT

MS spouting TV crap. Barely anything about games.

Not always on.
Used games require a fee after first use.

nothing really, they spent about 90% of the time trying to sell it as your new tv and only 10% of it about games..and there wasent even any gameplay footage

All but out myself. Or use it only for exclusives.

so going over to your friends house and bringing a game to play is all but over

Must be. Unless there's some way you can sign into your account but then, Kinect signs you in via face recognition so I'm not sure.

Another issue is, there's no stern confirmation that Sony won't be doing the same thing.

Exclusive Fifa content apparently? And UFC looked sick apparently?


NBA looked ****e I heard though.

Ultimate Team crap. Not revealed what it was though. UFC was part of the EA montage. No firm gameplay of anything.

Yeah that's true actually..just will have to hope for the best :(

So here's more bull****. It's sounding like more than one person can't play a game on the same console without the people after the first activator paying.

OMFG!

UFC and Madden Looks hot. Just going off Screenshots though.

You also have to buy the Kinect to be able to operate the console and theres no backwards compatibility with 360 games.
Those things along with destroying the pre-owned market is enough to put me off.

Also running three different operating systems at the same time sounds like asking for trouble they are trying to target too many markets at once it will be jack of all trades master of none.

How much money are they wanting for this thing?

Standard Xbox crap, I mean from what I heard of the presentation, it was basically the crap they've been pushing at the past few E3's, Kinect, Bing, Windows blah blah blah

PS4 did their presentation way better, focusing on stuff that gamers actually care about (e.g. being able to play games as they download).

No doubt Xbox One will have the same Xbox Live system.

Seems the whole having to pay a fee after installing a game is false

So while it's not always on, its nearly always on.

Too bad it's ugly as ****. Looks like a Betamax...
The 360 S >

The Xbox 360 S does look asthetically better, but I'd rather have a bigger uglier console if it meant that there wouldnt be any Red ring of death type of issues. The original 360 had RRoD issues due to it being so small and overheating.

Really don't care how a console looks. I'm not making love to it :joker:.....Honestly, I don't :p

This is damage limitation it was Microsoft that told the press about the second user fee and then after seeing the reaction to it after the conference announced on twitter thats not the case but have now told the press this utter garbled mess.

Once you install the game after buying it you can only play the game on machines that have permission to sign onto your xbox account i.e. you could take the game to your friends house install it on his xbox but then you would have to sign onto your xbox account on his machine to be able to play it he would have to buy it still if he wanted to play the game on his own account.

This still destroys the used games market although microsoft say they will announce in due course a way in which you could sell your games (which is expected to be an exclusive deal with a games retailer that means you can only sell it to them)

They can keep it i think i will wait until the thing gets cracked and patched in a way that allows me to use it how i see fit if i want to sell a game i have bought and played on ebay i will if they dont allow it i wont be buying it in the first place.

Tweets below the main one don't exactly back it up.

Kinect is bundled with it.

And that article from Chewy is just ridiculous (ridiculous from MS, not Chewy :p). There are people that don't have the internet still.
Also, my ISP had a problem in the area last week. Having to connect at least once a day seems a bit problematic if something like last week were to occur again.

'effin MS!

I think i heard them mention that you could watch tv on it (if you plugged your cable box into it) but i can already watch tv and a sports deal with the nfl so you can bring up stats and clips lol nfl sucks and they hinted at a cod game with a free dog.



I never buy a console within a year of its release anyway and it really didnt tell us much but it was probably the most underwhelming reveal i have ever seen i didnt see a lot to like but there seemed a lot to put me off so time will tell but i really dont think ms wil be happy with how this is shaping up either.

It was totally ridiculous how they showed more non-game related than they did games. Makes it seem like an all new set top box that has an added feature of playing games.

Hopefully it was a case of getting this crap out the way and talk games at E3. Although, knowing MS, I'm not getting my hopes up. :idc:

It's been the same at Microsoft for the past few years, for the past three years at Xbox's E3 it's basically been "So this is what were bringing to the dashboard this year" and "Kinect games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Indeed. Ever since 'effin Kinect. But I hoped they'd get back to games next gen. So far, that doesn't seem like it'll happen. They have to bring it at E3 games wise.

Have a feeling it could be pricey with the addition of Kinect. That 'effin thing!

It really is an ugly thing. It looks like an 80's style VCR.

It makes me want to buy a Wii U

I actually like the look of it, xD. And the controller.

Do people really buy consoles based on how they look? lol

Peter Molyneux said last night, 'I sometimes buy things purely on the way they look'. :p

But no, I don't really care what it looks like personally. It's just better when something does look nice.

i think size matters but couldnt really care how it looks, mines behind my tv anyway and it cant be seen

Well if a company can't even bother to spend money on design, then you can assume they also didn't spend much on development. Quality isn't JUST about aesthetics, but design and aesthetics does say something about the quality of a product. High quality products do usually bother to put money into design.

In this case, it does seem that xbox is just rushing to beat PS4 to the market place, and has obviously sacrificed a lot, just to get to the market first.

Well design is down to opinion. So I wouldn't say that means they maybe didn't spend much on development. The specs are scarce at the moment, unfortunately.

ooh errr hehehehe

i put a £10 bet on that you'd be the first one to reply to that :laugh:
