Xbox One Discussion

I don't know if they realize but people don't care about kinect navigation, nobody uses it.

It's a novelty.

What bothers me is this...what happens if you xbox one gets damaged or stolen? Not only are you our the money that the xbox cost but now you have to consider buying all the games all over again. I hope they save the game data to your profile and not xbox itself. At least that way the ones who are buying it won't have to re-buy everything.

Still to early to call it. Both sony and microsoft had a pretty basic reveal and both are going to have to come out guns blazing at e3 to get the upper hand. Microsoft just let the rumours on their next gen console circulate for to long and had a lot of hate and scepticism going in.

Feel free to shoot me down on this but I don't think that sony is going to be the saviour of pre owned games that everyone is hoping for. All they've said is that they wont block pre owned games and then skipped around the question. Just a bit less than microsoft saying there will be extra fees.

I know this isn't really a comparison thread but if anyone out there has already settled 100% on buying an xbox one (given they're not buying all 3 consoles) then they either live for ms exclusives or love sports.

Why would anyone attempt to shoot down a white wizard!??!??!

Most likely won't be getting it. I never really liked Xbox to begin with. Although a few of the features on Xbox One are innovative, I honestly must say take out the Kinect and what do you have? A brick. I mean these consoles should be for gaming. It's cool and all to cut out the middle man, (the remote), and just turn on the T.V. but if I came to my Xbox I'd game, not watch T.V. Let's be realistic. Might I add, I did like the multitask feature but I believe PS4 is getting that too in a social route. Sony and Nintendo have the right idea. Yea they are adding more features to make the console more social but isn't that what gamers want nowadays? I applaud Sony for it's social aspect that it is bringing to the table, especially the streaming. I always wanted to stream and now I can without the extra gear.

And might I add, to all the people saying "no backwards compatible, no buy" why would you sell your old console to begin with? You'd get like 150 or something dollars for it on a good day. Just keep it. We all want our dream fulfilled of it being true but let's be real, the more advance the tech gets, the less likely the older discs will comply with it.

EDIT: Also I mean discs specifically with backwards compatibility. If you mean achievements/trophies and what not, I'm with you on that. As far as we know only Sony is doing so as of now.

i think as technology grows, we should be able to see more backwards compatability.

Name sucks. Design sucks. From what I've heard it's trying to be an all-in-one kind of thing. No reason to get it unless you're a Halo/Gears of War fan.

 

[runekey]

No backwards compatibility with discs or XBLA titles.
Fee for used games or game transfers.
Possible always-on connection requirement.

No thanks. I already have a cable box and a DVR.

I sold my xbox elite and moved to PS3, So I probably won't get it I find (on cod) a lot of younger players who are irritating so I prefer PS3

Yeah. Anything I could get to in menus using kinect I could do much faster and easier with a controller. Plus I don't have to talk at my TV which is just silly looking.

Gif snip.

 

[Bubble Pop]

^ Amazing!

 

[Tommytulip]

That GIF is the best thing I've seen all day.

 

[AndyB]

As funny as the gif may be, watch the language in them. We have censors for a reason, don't try to bypass them.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Haven't seen anything impress me about the One so far other than the ability to switch things on the fly and matchmake while playing a different game. Waiting for them to iron out the final details, but regardless I have no intention of purchasing the console. I'm wondering what they'll bring to the table at E3, they'll really need something to recover from "TV" and the general lack of exclusives for the Xbox.

Lack of exclusives? What about the 15 exclusives coming within a year of launch?

He's talking about the Xbox systems as a whole. Original and 360 were known for having some exclusives, and they weren't all that super at times.

Fair call, that's my bad.

Everything seems to be hanging on the price right now. Fingers crossed that this years e3 delivers.

 

[Leonn]

[Nigel]

Nintendo won't be at e3
