Topic: The everything Xbox thread

I was expecting that from sometime now. Microsoft went cheaper with Ram and overall hardware strength to allow for Kinect. Were going to see if this truly matters for third parties soon enough.

The PS4 looking more appealing by the day, but I still may get the one first so I could keep all my purchases.

So this is more or less like the last generation. Does this mean the Wii U will sell the most?

From my understanding, neither the PS4 or Xbox One are backwards compatible, so it may be irrelevant which console you currently have as you may still need it to play your games.

Heck it seems Sony said something about a possible way to play your digital games on the PS4 while Microsoft said "tough". Disc-wise you are out of luck either way (so get a Wii U!!!)

^ PS3 games don't play on a Wii-U. Not worthy to handle that kind of epic awesomeness.

What I really don't like is how - as it seems to me, at least - Microsoft is just saying "we're gonna do this stuff, and you're going to deal with it". Well, you don't have to deal with it 'cause you don't have to buy it. They need a better way to market it.

Yeah, mine's a good...oh yeah, awesomeness!

The PS3 is totally different from the PS4, also porting over engines on some consoles takes months while on the PS4 it's a matter of weeks. There is reason why every developer out there has been speaking highly of the PS4, last gen pretty much Xbox was the lead platform you'll see a turn around this gen. Not only that Xbox One has a big OS footprint something thats not done in a console before, meaning Xbox One is not a dedicated gaming console unlike the PS4. The Wii U has a competitor for the casual gaming market Xbox One while the PS4 is the hardcore gaming console. It'll be interesting to see the casual wars play out, while the PS4 is one top.

So it looks like all of the exclusive 15 titles for the Xbox One will not be full retail titles. http://www.purexbox.com/news/2013/05/rare_considered_reviving...

But Xbox One will get all the same games the PS4 with the exception of exclusives. The PS4 isn't even a dedicated gaming platform they're just using that as a marketing focus. The last truly dedicated gaming platform were the 3DS and Vita which says alot.

Still the One is a pretty compelling product (something for everyone contentwise) and it astounds me that unless Sony is doing the same, why Microsoft would decide to go the route they did with used games and online. I think ts something that maybe Sony isn't telling us because this news should have came to a shock to the Gamestop CEO and he just said this was good like this was apart of the plan in the first place.

While its probably true how did you gather that from the article?

I wonder how long the plan to keep it on the Dashboard for?

What I found most intresting was this.

Word's with friends isn't an Xbox game its an application for Windows Phone. Zynga also doesn't have any Dev kits as they've expressed hatred toward the console space multiple times. Why would a game that can't be ESRB rated be on a console platform unless there was a way to get content on the platform. Goes back to the point of Windows Phone/WIndows 8/Xbox One running the same base platform and applications.

How much privacy are people willing to give up? Who thinks this is a great feature?

Eh who cares. Did you see the Google Now deo and no one is complaining about that (they are glass though). At this point google knows so much about me I really don't care about the Kinect Sensor always watching and listening. Let me rephrase that I'm personally don't think its so much of a big deal becuase being 21 I feel that so much info is out their that mega corporations has its a moot point.

I mean I went to use Googl Now the otherday and it cross referenced

-My Location
-A package it was tracking for me
-and a search I did for Iron Man 3 play times to show me how to get too Motor City Comic-Con and what day it was.

The Tech is pretty cool that it is scary. It apparently can see in the dark and sense heartbeats. Between this and Watson being fitted service calls the end is nigh.

The PS4 isn't even a dedicated gaming platform they're just using that as a marketing focus.

(Xbox One become much more general purpose — just like a PC, while the PS4 has a low OS footprint which will favour the PS4)

thats say it all, so yes it more of a dedicated gaming rig than the Xbox One. As far as a fee goes Sony isn't going to follow suit, much like they didn't with online subscriptions, Sonys already said we'll do the right thing. And we already know it plays used game, it's Sonys for the taking come E3.

@ Sony_70 "Eh who cares."

Well, I guess I can see why it's there then.

Technically the one plays used games. I'd say its foolish to throw such optimism at a comapny till you have the final product in hand. By the right thing I assume you mean sony saying that will leave it up to publishers on rather to do this type of stuff. I mean regardless of any DRM Destiney and probably a few other games are going online only. I

While DRM on used games is a bad practice in the case that it would happen would you rather want

A. All the used DRM are going through the console Manufacturer so purchases are tied to your Account showing you own the game and you could trade it in and still probably have the digital copy. Still sucks for the next person buying the game used mind you

B. The console manufacturer letting a wild west mentality set free. Now you all your retail purchases aren't tied to an account but to all the different accounts each game maker has and even than this probably won't mean you'd be able to download a digital copy as well.

Both sound like Crap but in the worse case scenario I'd rather take the crao through one source instead of having to put up with multiple crap spewers.

I mean if Sony didn't have some sort of DRM in place surely we would have heard about it after te backlash the one has been rightfully been getting. I don't doubt them not doing online only but listen to their words carefully. They wouldn't be blocking used games just giving you a hassle to use them.

Dunno what to say I mean if someone at redmond wants to watch me play Naked Dance Central than well that's their problem. Probably too lax but I would feel like a damn hypocrite to complain about this when I use google products on a daily basis that are pretty sketchy themselves. I

I thought this was funny.
