XBOX ONE revealed

[Pike]

Pike: It's different because I'm talking about single player games, too. When I buy Mass Effect 3 on the Xbox 360, both of us can play it on our own logins. If I were to buy it on Steam, I can play it, but if Danielle wants to play it she has to either buy it on her own login or use my login, and I'm not cool with people using my login because I want my achievements to be my own.

You do realize you're not talking to Pike, right? Just so we're all clear on what actually is and isn't my opinion xD

Would you want it to be, after the Nuts'n'Bolts fiasco?

If it's actually going to be Banjo-Threeie, then yes.

Oh, geez, you guys did that too? I noticed Murd/Psy had switched userid's because of old threads, but yeah, you're all punks and I don't like you anymore.

Anyway, I was replying to Pike because the member currently known as Pike said something. While you are using the username I'm my own MILF, you are no longer Pike. >=[ I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE.

[Pike]

There are more of us switchees too.

Lurking in the shadows.

[Unbreakable Will]

What the... bollocks. Who are you people?! I just don't know anymore! I can't trust any of you! That's it, the only rational thing to do is kill you all!

Ahahaha! Ahahahahahahahaha!


Oh, yeah I'm pretty psyched for Xbox One.

Well, that's One!

Xbox One (SPOILER)more reason to get a PS4

[Madame Adequate]

Honestly I'm not exactly excited for XBox 3 (Screw their dumb name I've already got an XBox 1 knocking around somewhere) but what I've seen so far certainly puts it above the WiiU and PS4 in desirability. After all they mentioned some games at least.

...what have you seen that I haven't? o_o You really like the Ultimate Team thing? Or Skype? Or uhm... uh... TV...stuff?

[Pete for President]

Hah. I lol'd.

I have developed a strong disliking of tv, so auf wiedersehen xbox, you'll never get into my home.

[Del Murder]

I have not looked at anything regarding specs or games, but calling your third system 'One' is the dumbest idea ever.

Coming soon to theaters...the epic conclusion to the Tony Stark trilogy...Iron Man 1.

[Aulayna]

Just wait, it'll be Viva Pinata.

Vivia Pinata Kinect-o-rama ONE

[Pike]

But Viva Pinata was great.

I haven't seen the actual video because I'll be damned if I give enough of a trout to sit and watch any companies troutty press conference these days, but based on the lists of announced functions and features, I have to say that this sounds like a pretty damn awful console so far.

How much time and money did Microsoft spend on making their machine do things that Smart TV's are already doing, and will continue to do for the foreseeable future? Why do they assume I need my game console to do what, in no particular order, my PC, Smart Phone, and Tablet already do and often do better? And if I was a wealthier man like my parents are I could add Smart TV to that list. Why do I need any of this if the god damn TV of all things already does it? And why should I care about your game console if you seem more concerned with replacing the TV without actually replacing the TV than showing me the actual games I'll be playing? Or features that will actually benefit games? Should I be impressed with a higher resolution Kinect with better sensing and speech recognition abilities? Because the original Kinect didn't make much of an argument in favour of it's own existence when it comes to being used for games, so the prospect of a new one with no explanation as to how this will benefit the games more than the old one is not interesting.

So what about the actual games? Well, all we really know so far is that the hardware is pretty similar to the PS4, right down to building in your own PS Move in the controller, used games are out, online authentication is probably in (though not always online, though how invasive online authentication is seems to be up in the air), and you're making zero effort to improve the ability for indie developers to get onto the platform without publishing deals.

So from what little we know about the actual games, it's sounding to me like a trouttier PS4 that's trying to win people over by being even more of a multimedia box than the last console generation was. You know, stuff like the share button on the PS4 may be a complete pile of trout as far as ideas go, but at least they were trying. I can give them credit for trying something new to enhance gaming even if it was completely stupid and awful. But this definitely seems worse from all of the information I've been seeing.

Here's hoping they get their trout together by E3 because they're going to need it.

I'm going to rename this thread "The PS4 revealed" and I bet everyone will come out of the woodwork to say how amazing it is. By everyone I mostly mean Loony BoB.
