^unavailable for me. Either overloaded or IPblocked.
here's more info: http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-is-not-alway ... -509077987

Yea was unavailable for me as well after I reloaded but it worked again in IE.

Its over now though, kinda disappointed. Was only a couple games, no gameplay, too much tv/kinect. I don't recall even any features aside from voice recognition and swapping between tv/movies/games. PS4 showed some cool stuff without even showing the console >.>. I hope they have good stuff for E3.

One of the games trailers had real people live action cutscene >.>, then cgi mixed in, i think Quantum Break or something. Then sports. Finally it showed an interesting game at the end, CoD ghosts but it wasn't even gameplay either, just cut scenes.

I'm wondering mostly about the "cloud powered" and always connected stuff they mentioned.

Console looks cool though.

I hope the crowd starts boo-ing during the E3 demo's and chanting PS4! cause this is absolute bullshit.

I've been waiting for years to buy the next gen xbox cause I was expecting the 360 to die every year and they come out with this shit...

Guess I'll have to get used to broken fingers from PS' controller :/

I'm sorry, @RoOF You're Just one minute too late... xD

The next Xbox won't require an Internet connection to function, but could very well block used games, unless you feel like paying Microsoft some extra cash.

It's Just not worth it!

[heroo]

What a fail. They kept talking about TV functions and voice commands, who fcking cares? We want a decent game console! I don't care if I can talk to my console or that I can switch between gaming and watching TV, my remote controll already does that for me. Also who the fck uses Kinect or PS Move? There is a reason we have a wii. The elderly, gays and children are already satisfied. Xbox keeps on failing, it's time for Sony to take over completely like in the goold ol' days.

[Rawr]

It looks like crap. :/
Actually, it's so bad that Sony's stock increased 9%.


MS' stock is down 0.16% atm.

[CrimsonNuker]

Not backwards compatible and forced Kinect usage. Fuck you Microsoft.

As for the size...gotta make it huge so there's room for a slim version

[TheDrop]

wow, i was thinking of switching over to xbox next gen cause virtually no one in the US seem to use PS3, but lookin from the reactions here ill wait xD

[poehalcho]

Spoiler!

found pics...

It looks like a VCR D:
and the controller looks really uncomfortable...
the trigger looks like it would break off easily and the that lower straight edge looks like it's not very nice to hold either :<
At least the +pad is better though...

Why is that?

Why is that?

Because Playstation's controllers are really bad. The thumbstick position is just not natural...
I can't hold those things for more than 30minutes

It's one of the main reasons why I've never liked Playstation a whole lot (other than their less-interesting game library).

[Aventus]

Why do people even buy consoles anymore, the only games I miss by not having a console are the Skate games. I can bet both systems will have so many issues just like the last gen. It's not worth it anymore.

I don't know, I haven't had any problems with those, I didn't like PS3 controller's triggers at all though, the D-pad thing was good.

So if you buy a game, and install it, you apparently don't need to disc to play, but if you give the disc away and someone else , if they try to install it it will cost a fee to do so.

Explains why EA killed online pass lol.

I really dont want a console that does that. So I guess if this is the case PS4 is in my future.


Found this rating quite humorous of the reveal.
Xbox One/10

[poehalcho]

jesus, even Nintendo's stocks went up 2.5%

[RoOF]

Kinect Requirement: http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-requires-kin ... -509112572
Your Kinect will need to be connected in order for the Xbox One to function, Microsoft announced at an event today in London.

Spoiler!

[DarkJackal]

Used game fees, forced kinect. God no.

[Skyve]

I won't be too quick to judge yet although I'll say that they could work on the xBox One design. Looks bulky af.

[antics]

there was no reason to own a xbox back then and still no use for it today. the only thing they have going for themselves is halo, gears of war, and they might make some rare games. since they did buy the company

[Skyve]

The game selection for PlayStation is lackluster in general. They only have sports games and overhyped single-player games that always end up sucking.

At the end of the day I'll just buy the console all my friends have anyways

[TheDrop]

^I have to agree xbox exlusives are better, Gears of war, Halo, etc just have such good movements compared to say, Uncharted :/. And they fked up with the sequels from the ps2 games or they stopped being exclusives.

Uncharted 2 still one of the best games ever along with San andreas

If they released another version of Conkers Bad Fur Day or made a inevitably terrible sequel I would buy the xbox. I have no other reason for one.

Rare is too busy with Kinect games and Xbox Avatars to make games.

[BuDo]

Can we play SRO on it?...Cuz that would be a deal breaker if we couldn't...

On a serious note: Capability wise they haven't talked about anything at all that seemed innovative about it. The features they boast is what people currently expect in an entertainment device...

I've never owned a console in my life and I started thinking about getting one 5 months ago. I waited for the release of this Xbox (and the PS4) and so far I'm not overly impressed with this Xbox-one. Especially with how it looks.

It's hardware capabilities still hasn't touch close to current gaming PCs. But I guess a modern gaming PC can go in the 2000s ($). I'll see what Play station has up their sleeve and then decide if I should remain a PC only gamer...

[Rawr]

If you're a PC gamer, then you might as well stay one if you enjoy the community, don't mind shelling out extra $, and enjoy the infinite customization of well... everything.
I'd do a full rebuild of my rig now, but I can't bring myself to pay the outrageous prices of high-end hardware anymore. If I allow myself I'd end up spending $2k just the tower components and another $800 at least on peripherals. [I just spent $600 on speakers and a monitor, it's bad enough]

I'm most likely going to buy a PS4 and use it as my primary game system, but I won't let my PC collect too much dust.

Personally, I'll be using my M+KB for FPS on the PS4. Nothin' like whoopin' your friend's asses like there's no tomorrow...

This is what I usually do too.
My previous 3 graphics cards were pretty high end (600+ euros each) and they
all broke or bugged out within 6 months (1-3 months usually). Problem for me
with the high end stuff is that it's too sensitive to well.. anything.

Currently running a decent card that can run everything I want, but not going
to buy anything high end any more..

For me it also helps to buy online rather than in a store. Bought my girlfriend's
laptop in a store after saving myself money on building my own PC.. ended up
leaving the store with a corsair K90/M90 set for about 200 euros

ontopic: i'll stick to pc, maybe get a ps4 in time :]

No way in hell does xbox have better exclusives...shit they hardly have any exclusives at all

For those of you who missed the reveal. Here is a very fast recap
