Topic: The everything Xbox thread

-Wii Motes aren't the focus of the console and aren't being mandatory for developers
-I would agree with that but featurewise One > U. Plus the boon of only needing your phone or tablet

Nintendo needs to get over Third party relations problem. Also the first year of Wii U is going to look worse when were hearing 13 exclusives ith 8 being new IP.

Hope to see Nintendo Strike Back at E3.

It was a weird presentation to me, tons of sports-based media, a neat kinect-operated way to control TV (though I'd rather not blurt out tv channels all the time), and a weird live-action intro to a new exclusive.

But seriously, way too much sports stuff. Also 15 exclusives coming but no mention of a few other than one? And I'm personally not a fan of the Xbox One name. Kinda meh.

Overall not a bad presentation, it just focused on too many things at a time, I think.

I just want to say I wasn't a fan of the PS4's reveal, either, though I'm starting to respect it a bit more after this one. The Wii U reveal wasn't good, either...what is with this generation and poorly done reveals?

Sony's common stock just skyrocketed...

PS4's reveal focused on games a lot more than this One reveal, which made it better imo. This xbox reveal focused more on features and performance. I think E3 will help both systems get on their feet more.

WTF? Did they learn nothing from the sheer apathy at the reveal of the PS4? We don't want a 360 with better graphics alone! There is literally nothing compelling about the Xbox One or the PS4 whatsoever.

The only console I'll be purchasing this gen is a Wii U, and that's because you can actually count on Nintendo to release good games. Sony and Microsoft? Not so much. I'm tired of Halo, Forza, and Fable. I'm tired of Killzone, Infamous, and Uncharted. I'm tired of everyone but Nintendo ignoring their own legacy like it's something they know they can never live up to. Square Enix can't make a Final Fantasy VII remake because they haven't made a better game since
(they said it). Naughty Dog can't make another Jak and Daxter game because they feel they'd be violating the artistic integrity with too much change. And where can Halo possibly go from here? All the while we know Nintendo is going to go right on continuing to improve Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Smash Bros. Nintendo wins...

Last generation's reveals were just as bad as this generation. Maybe even worse.

It's all opinions, of course.

Wow.. Just, wow..

That's a good question. All of the big three's newest console reveals have been quite lackluster. Rather sad really...

Actually, one thing I do really like is the box itself. I've always hated how consoles are these crazy shapes and colours and look more like toys. I just want something I can slide into an entertainment unit and preferably be able to stack another device on top of it.

Honestly what were you guys expecting? It had already been confirmed this was about features and E3 was going to be the Games story, followed by the developer story at BUILD13.

I mean chances are sony is going to have a conference similar to this one with nothing but system features, We saw content fromfour first/second parties
(Turn 10, MSLA, Remedy, 343i).

Most surprising was the Halo TV show. I was expecting when 343 came up for Halo 2 remake or a downloadable series similar to spartan ops.

Also noticed that 343i has alot of high profile female gamers which is awesome.

I also notice they didnt touch upon the fact of Backwards compatibility.

I'm liking the lack of need for a disc. Borrow a game from your mates, pay the install fee... give the game to someone else.

Then why does PS4 have Move? Saying Wii remote is irrelevant is saying Move is irrelevant. I also don't have a smart phone or tablet, so ya, the GamePad comes packed in with the Wii U. I won't need a tablet or smartphone for connectivity.
I also don't want to buy a PS Vita to get GamePad/SmartGlass features, and I already have a 3DS for portable gaming.

Ouch stupid decesion but I only have one account so yeah. Thing must have a TB drive if this is the case.

Well the move did massively underperformed and never got support from games like COD despite these same devs makign Wii Ports.
Your also in the minority looking at the figures for smartphones and tablets but still a fair point of a non added cost.

That source is gone, and for good reason. The original Quote only said that it would require a fee to install a game to a second account. They said nothing on the matter of simply popping in the disc and playing it.

I missed the "to play" part. They did say you have to stall the games. Crap. That and no Backwards compatibility are the final nails in the coffin for me.

They hardly even revealed anything. There were pretty much no games. I guess E3 is gonna be the day for everyone. I'm going to Best Buy for E3 to play Mario, though. I always see EVERYTHING E3 reveals, but I will go to Best Buy first, then see everything else that happened.

What's happening at Best Buy?

Also: That new xbox looks pretty!
