Quote from: ParanoiaDragon on 05/22/2013, 04:17 AMI didn't notice it mentioned here, but I understand the system is supposed to be on all the time. I'm not sure if that's a requirement, or a suggestion, maybe since it is a media center? I don't know about anyone else, but, I don't want my "game system"(I use this term every so loosely in regards to the Xbox One) on 24 hours a day, just sitting there in the heat of summer. Possibly a plot by MS for it to wear out quicker? I'll let you decide!

Are you surprised? This is the same company that advertised and even encouraged users to sit the XBOX 360 console vertically, even though that led to quicker wearing out of the DVD drive and made it much easier to scratch up your disks.

This is the same company that authorized the use of tinfoil in place of legit CPU connections within the XBOX 360, and then flat out denied they ever had anything to do with it as the RROD craze began.

They might as well call this the WarrantyBox One, because if you don't have one on this, you're screwed.

TheClash603 · 05/22/2013, 08:05 PM

I love when new console generations begin, I always buy at launch and get all hyped up.

Going back to the 16 bit era, this is the system I have been least excited for.

Now that I've had time to think about it, my reaction:

Funny thing is, this video was originally made for Microsoft's E3 presentation last year... my how things have not changed...

Arkhan Asylum · 05/23/2013, 01:10 AM

In honor of the Xbox One, I beat Spyro the Dragon for Playstation 1 today.

remember when Microsoft didn't make consoles, and first person shooters weren't for pussies?

Too true... too true... so true it hurts.

I remember one tech writer actually wrote years ago about an age where computers would not obey our commands, but instead those of a corporation... lemme try to find that article.

EDIT: Found it! Quite a good read if you have some time. Eerie to think he wrote about this well before the XBOX One, or the XBOX 360 for that matter, was ever begat.

This system unites all bad aspects of a gaming console with all the bad aspects of a PC. Not the easiest task to accomplish.

Good read there and I agree 100% with what the man wrote. Exactly what is happening now with technology. Hell, politics and society in general aren't too much different either if you think about it.

A great article

http://www.gamesbrief.com/2013/05/xbox-one-a-flawed-plan-well-executed/?utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=GB&utm_source=twitterfeed

"[The Xbox is part of a] grandiose strategy. Microsoft built its dominance through the ubiquity of its operating systems on PCs. Initially with DOS, and subsequently with Windows, the company established itself as the platform for users and developers. Now it is vying to control access to information from the living room. Three pieces of hardware have long been perceived as potential winners in this battle: the PC, the video game console and the satellite/cable set-top box. Microsoft already dominates the PC market. In 1997, it invested $1 billion in a 7.3% stake in Comcast, the US cable company, in an attempt to build a "Windows-based gateway to the television [although it subsequently sold it]. And the Xbox is designed to cover the third potential route to the market, to make sure that whichever of the three pieces of hardware win the battle, Microsoft has a place at the table."

Wow, in the first few minutes of the unveil I was thinking... "they haven't said ANYTHING about the games". M$ has definitely moved away from the gamer's demographic.

Oh well, my WiiU is still awesome, and the PS4 looks promising

jlued686 · 05/23/2013, 12:53 PM

Sonic Vroom Vroom Car Racing is awesome.

SmaMan · 05/23/2013, 01:03 PM

I actually tried the demo for that. Pretty fun game. Supposedly the full version has some blatant tie-ins like Danika Patrick as a playable character, but at least you could just not select her.

An optional turn-off for features you don't like... you heard that, Kinect?

ParanoiaDragon · 05/23/2013, 09:12 PM

The more I think about it, it seems like 90% of the info for the Xbox One, says it doesn't do a lot of things, whether it be about the hard drive or cross platform or b/c, etc. It sure seems like it can't do much at all!

TR0N · 05/23/2013, 11:22 PM

This is what there selling on the xbox one.

Nando · 05/24/2013, 02:46 PM

So does an artist get royalties from an used game, even if he/she has moved on to another company? or is all this used game profit going directly to the co.?

If I were a company, I'd hired a bunch of super talented folk, let them make a few good games, then fire the whole lot and enjoy the used game rewards. Zynga!

NecroPhile · 05/24/2013, 03:13 PM

I don't think programmers/artists get part of the back-end from any system.

Probably not, unless it is employee owned. Captain Obvious say welcome ;)

I liken it to when a sports team owners spends a shit ton of money to get the best team together, they win the championship and said team owner disbands the team after the fact.

I like it when a team I dislike, does that, except they don't win the championship and then they disband the team.

this was actually my 2nd most played Wii U game at launch. Easily my favorite kart racer since Double Dash, it is awesome!

handygrafx · 06/06/2013, 11:21 PM

As of now, my next-gen machines of choice are/will likely be...

PC:
-A reasonably high-end rig enough to run Battlefield 4 @ 60fps / 1080p / Ultra settings. Plus, enough to run Supermodel, the SEGA Model 3 arcade emu. Gotta be able to play Daytona USA 2 and everything else @ 60fps.

Consoles:
-PS4
-Wii U, maybe. If Nintendo's first-party efforts appeal to me enough, if the price drops and if the non-gaming features and OS speed up/get improved.
side note: IMHO, the first Super Mario Galaxy is the best game Nintendo has ever made, and Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game ever made. Again, all IMO.

Handhelds:
-3DS

As for the XBone....... lolz

Well, a recent update did really really speed up the OS. Things load more than twice as fast than at launch... pretty awesome to say the least.

Also, anyone been keeping up with the Wii U eShop? Some seriously awesome stuff hitting there lately, like Super Metroid for 30 cents!

Psycho Punch · 06/09/2013, 09:19 PM

Don't jump the gun, handygrafx. We don't even know how the PS4 will really be, yet.

I don't know you guys but at least at the beggining of the "generation" I'll stick to Steam.

Nando · 06/10/2013, 03:19 PM

COMING FOR THE NINTENDO SIX...UM XBOX ONE, KILLER INSTINCT

esadajr · 06/10/2013, 04:42 PM

I was just notified it is available for pre sale. Yay! for $499 my privacy can be invaded, and Microsoft can double dip on games, hooray!

Arkhan Asylum · 06/10/2013, 04:52 PM

Fucking Panzer Dragoon game.

goddamnit

Where's my revolver

PCEngineHell · 06/10/2013, 05:14 PM

It's almost like re-watching Sega of America fumble the Saturn launch, except that was still worlds better then this since Sega had Virtua Fighter, PD, and Daytona USA , and the Saturn didn't have to jack into a phone line on day 1 or do 24 hour surveillance.

_Paul · 06/10/2013, 05:47 PM

With all this 'processing in the cloud' bullshit they are spouting, does this mean there must be a minimum broadband speed you require to even play games?

Digi.k · 06/10/2013, 10:47 PM

Next gen is all about the battle of which fugly machine will end up in your house...

It really is bloody expensive too

TheClash603 · 06/11/2013, 01:08 AM

Insomniac Games is the best thing on modern consoles.... I'll admit, I preordered an Xbox One...

All I want is Panzer Dragoon or whatever they are calling it.

That shit can wait.

Hey now that they get K3 also might be interesting to say the least to see what Xbox offers.

well I am on the fence about it.. It depends on Crimson Dragoon and Forza 5 and if we gonna get a slew of new japanese shoot em ups and if I can get one really cheap...

the DRM wont be too much of an issue as I will be very selective on what I will buy on it. PS4 however at least all the games can be bought used and reduced in price.

Quote from: FiftyQuid on 05/21/2013, 04:00 PM
QuoteMicrosoft has confirmed that all Xbox One games will require mandatory installation onto the system's hard drive and, to install the same disc onto another user's drive, a fee must be paid.

Individual games will be tied to Xbox Live accounts, Microsoft said, meaning that the software giant can detect whether a game has been sold to a retailer and repurchased, or handed from one friend to another. In such instances, the second user must pay a fee.
I love how they use the word "fee" here. It's going to be full retail price, not a fee. Using the word fee in this manner makes it sound like it'll be $9.99 to use it on another machine. We all know it will be the full cost.

I believe that you control that game with Kinect. I recall reading that somewhere. If that's true I can't even imagine how much that would suck. Sega should just hire these bozos back so they can make the game for the PS4 using regular controllers.
