No matter what Microsoft shows it still won't shut up some people. I want to see the full picture before I act like an entitled child whining and crying all day.
It's now Microsoft's job to compell us to why we need Kinect on. Why we should be connected. Why having all content attached to our profiles is better. If they can do that people won't care Kinect is always, that they need to be connected to the internet. The system is still going to be very much a ga...
The indie devs aren't very happy and rightfully so. Microsoft is not treating them any different than big publishers and that isn't what supporting indies is all about. I imagine all the bigger publishers will be very supportive of the Xbox One.
The size of the system is like sticking a middle finger at the Japanese market who like smaller devices. Oh well, it's not like Japanese gamers were going to support the new Xbox regardless of what it looks like. As long a...
Things are changing, some for the better some for the worse. Some people don't like change and want things to remain as they are. Others like to see things progress into a multi-task environment where they can access content quickly and easily. Some want just a game console, some want an all in one box.
All these things are not necessities in life, it's entertainment and should be treated as such. The consumer still has a choice and no consumer should have to put up w...
Too funny. Verbal assaults on consumers, personal attacks, conniption fits. All over videogames.
It's obvious some people don't care as much as others about all the issues surrounding the Xbox One. Issues that haven't even been finalized might add. Can't wait for E3 when we should know more and more importantly what games are on offer.
It's too bad, I like Ted Price and Insomniac. This review doesn't say much about when you do play with 4 people but it does sound terrible solo. Their other game All-4-One on the PS3 was also pretty much a co-op game and it wasn't very good either.
Let's hope they can rebound and do something special on next-gen consoles.
"The system is designed to have Kinect be an integral part of the experience. It's not the case where you'll be able to remove the camera altogether. But you'll be able to put the system in modes where you can be completely secure about the fact that the camera is off and can't see you.
We aren't using Kinect to snoop on anybody at all. We listen for the word 'Xbox on' and then switch on the machine, but we don't transmit personal data in ...
"PC games are never optimized. Devs just developer for minimum requirements and a broad range of configurations hoping the GPU will do all the real work."
You make it sound more complicated than it really is. Most games simply work just like a console, difference is you can actually adjust the settings. You can choose what resolution you want to play at, you can choose to lock v-sync., you can choose other visual effects, you can choose anti-aliasing. It's there...
And after E3 when Microsoft shows games you'll just move onto something else to talk about that you don't like about the system.
The fact is Sony only showed 4 games at its press event that won't be on the Xbox One while Microsoft showed 2 games so far that won't be on the PS4. Difference is Microsoft told the public and the media that the press event focus would be on the system and that the game focus will be at E3. It was also only an hour event unlike Sony...
Both Sony and Microsoft have said on record they will support used games. The trouble is we don't know how restrictive those used games will be.
I personally believe a bunch of high profile publishers gathered together to come up with some sort of plan. They have now seen that the online pass hasn't worked as well as had hoped or it was just the beginning of something more.
Piracy played a larger role on the Xbox 360 than the PS3. We have also seen ga...
"13 minutes talking about freaking Call of Duty of all things!!!! THIRTEEN MINUTES!!!"
Activision must have Microsoft by the *****. Why do they continue to get top honors of closing out shows and so much press time? There has to be some sort of partnership going on besides DLC for them to have the floor time so much.
This needs to be fixed at E3. Show some of the game running, sure, but don't make it the central piece of your show. It's not ...
Difficult but possible. Their track record hasn't been the greatest but if there ever was a time for them to have to deliver at E3 this is it.
I bring up the PS3 and Steam about how they too control software and yet I'm the one who is off-topic? It's ok for you to use outside examples like Simcity that has nothing to do with the Xbox One but I can't mention those? Talk about trying to control the discussion that only serves to meet your needs.
Here's is a couple of quotes in your opening statement so it can't possibly be off-topic.
1. "A common tactic that XBros like to use ...
"I don't understand why people are questioning that like Sony's left some sort of grey area. Sony's already said that, if you want, the PS4 never has to be connected to the internet. They couldn't have been more clear."
Really? So these people who actually work in the industry that ask these sorts of questions like Adam Sessler and Geoff Keighly are just teasing us, that they really do know? Is that why on the latest Bonus they brought it up, just fo...
DragonKnight has shown time and time again he is not interested in civil debates. I offer a counter argument, I get accused of being a corporate apologist. I offer a rebuttal, he tells me to go live under a rock.
You my friend are an extremist. One that gas taken what is a hobby and treating it like serious issues. A person who is way too absorbed in his own train of thought that he refuses to listen to anyone who may offer any benefits.
So quick to attack b...
It would have been a perfect opportunity for Sony to come out looking like saints but instead they don't say much at all. I wonder why?
Here, let's break some of the author's comments shall we?
1. Calling people Xbros doesn't help this persons credibility at all. One who is about as biased as one can get. Go through his post history and find out for yourself. Are all those game journalists that aren't over-reacting like this guy a Xbro too?
2. We don't know the full details of what Sony is doing either, so yes, it is very relevant since they are the ones who started this m...
This is hilarious, the drama is just getting ridiculous. Now we have written essays about the Xbox One before it's even out and before we even know all the details? Are you serious? Don't people have better things to do with their lives?

"So I find myself obligated to explain my purchases, likes, and dislikes to other gamers, since those things affect them as well."
No it doesn't. Do you support the 3DS or the Wii U above the PS4 or VIta? No you do not. Nintendo seems to be the only one who isn't as reliant on outside services other than videogames. They are not as aggressive as Sony or Microsoft when it comes to media services like a music store and a video store. Something Sony also has a ...
"You again, off in your own little world, with your own little interpretation of the English language."
It's funny how easily you get upset over videogames. You're way too serious for your own good. Be respectful for once in your life. All you do is make snide remarks, call people trolls, and attach anyone who criticizes Sony. Are you really that attached to a company who cares no more or no less as a consumer as they do for me or anyone else? And stop namin...
Then why are you bothering? Why don't you just mark it for trolling and actually talk about the topic at hand instead of this need of yours for attention?
Sony has already said they will be addressing all the downtime we've experienced on the PS3. It will be much faster getting started and playing games. They have even talked about partial installs and playing while the rest of the game continues to install to the hard drive.
