Xbox One

[ProfessorProfessorson]

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.

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?

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

It really is bloody expensive too

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

[Arkhan]

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.

This thread should be locked and forgotten. No one Everyone wants Xbox One. Its going to have Killer Instinct. You can play as Jago for free. He's another ninja a totally original character in a fighting game. This is someone you care about.

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.

Microsoft 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.

Sony responds. Heh-heh.

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.

You can get a good budget PC for the same price and does much more. Won't look as good as a XBOX one when gaming, but you could always upgrade later.

[Arkhan]

Oh if you have to flail around in front of the TV screaming XBOX, DRAGON!  XBOX, FLAP!  XBOX, DIVEBOMB! , I will personally destroy the team.


Also, Forza has a "Driveatar" that drives for you while you're not home.

Why even play the f*cking game.

It should only take a midrange graphics card to match either systems visuals, something in the $200 to 250 range. The 8 core apu they are using is clocked pretty low, so in all you could probably build a gaming pc that would match or exceed the systems total performance with $550 to 600 bucks if you build smart and take advantage of newegg sales and buy something like a AM3+ micro atx board and AMD FX-8320. After sales tax depending on where you live either home system will run you $40-50 more then the retail price, so honestly you wont be far off from the price of ordering parts and building a gaming pc.

And back to that low clocked apu thing. You have already seen what happens when you pair a slow clocked multi core with a competent gpu. It's called the Wii U, and it suffers low frame rates. Expect the same issues with the new consoles compared to pc performance depending on the games.

Driveatar is there for you when you need to stop driving to text your friends. Don't drive and text.

Awesome interview.
