Nice, can't wait to see what they come up with. Sony's loss is everyone's gain.
Look at that PS4 only list... Bunch of sadness. Not going to get better this year, only worse.
More worried by the lack of exclusive games.
They have not said what its use would be yet. Many people use external storage for viewing photos, movies etc on multiple machines. Traditionally removable storage is used for data and not installs.
Very curious to see what speeds we can get with USB3 SSD drives. Also curious to see if we can store games on these drives or only use them for personal files such as MP3/MP4's.
So why does it do true multitasking while the PS4 does suspend/resume? Also why does the X1 have a 30GB/s BUS for parallel computing compared to the 10GB/s of the PS4? Computing on today's consoles isn't the way it is in the past. It is a combination of the GPU and the CPU, measuring CU's isn't black and white.
Last years E3 was that way too. Games wise, it was awesome.
Isn't X1 already more powerful now? They have the only exclusive AAA game that runs at 1080p and 60fps. They also do true multitasking while pulling it off, which is crazy when you think about it.
MS just needs to open up the SDK on the system so everyone can make apps and games for the X1 and self publish. They can still have strict requirements for getting approved in the store, but please open it up so we can play. Having a computing device you cannot program for is the most frustrating thing in the world. Same goes for Sony, let us Dev!
I disagree. Unity is a much better offering because it works across all platforms. Developers were afraid of using XNA because they knew it would lock their game to only Xbox and Windows.
Unity and MonoGame are the perfect evolution of XNA.
I definitely agree about COOP being a key component to the game. So many great times playing Gears with friends.
Wonder when they will unveil the game, projected 2016 release right?
I would love PressPlay working on Banjo K too. Tentacles also looks great.
Definitely some cool things being shown, but very sad that the Xbox One development is so far away. I would love to make apps and games for the x1. Hate having hardware I can't code for.
Definitely excited about the Kinect for Windows V2 though, will be fun to mess around with that until they open the X1 up for development.
I understand why they want launch parity, but it is time for MS to just open up the store and get out of the way, similar to what they do with Windows Store.
Good to have this reaffirmed but when? Come on MS, I have so many ideas just waiting for you to open things up!
I just bought it for Steam, gave up waiting. So far I love it! Hope season 2 will come to X1 before I am done with season 1.
Isn't Forza 5 the only AAA next gen exclusive that runs at 1080p and 60fps?
That would be awesome if you could sell your creations. I am using it to mock up game ideas for Unity because it is so easy in Project Spark to create full games so quickly.
Child of Light looks so amazing! Also a huge fan of Kinect Ping Pong so praying Kinect Sports Rivals Tennis lives up to my hopes. Wrist action, PLEASE!
Games yes, but not apps. It does true multitasking with "multiple apps or apps and a game", unlike PS4. Pretty crazy they are pulling that off.
