@Background Pony  
Oh look, the 3DO is back!

Hey, they have FIFTEEN exclusives on the way! What those exclusives are, who knows, but dammit, they’ll be getting exclusives, by God!

@TLATopHat  
Saying that they don’t care about gaming is an idiotic and unfair assumption considering that the primary purpose of the XBOX is playing games.  
You’re right that the primary purpose of the Xbox is playing games. However, given how the majority of the conference was spent showing everything the One can do BESIDES playing games, I’m not at all convinced that that is the primary purpose of this system. If gaming was the system’s primary purpose, then the games would have been the main focus of the conference. They seem to be pushing this as an all-purpose entertainment unit rather than a gaming system (“You can watch sports, browse the Internet, go on Skype and tweet all at the same time! Oh, and it can play games, too.”) And it’s not just me saying that, here’s a quote from Microsoft’s chief production officer of interactive entertainment:
 
“The decision wasn’t, ‘We need a gamebox,’ it was, ‘We need a living-room experience.’”  
-Marc Whitten
 
Along with their anti-used game policies and the fact that they made no attempt to address the near-universally-reviled-by-gamers rumours of the system being “always-online,”* these would seem to suggest that Microsoft does not care about gamers’ best interest.
 
^{*They did confirm after the conference that the always-online requirement would be left up to the developers rather than being universal, however, the fact that in their conference they did not categorically deny something that has had so many gamers upset and nervous for the future of Xbox would seem to suggest that they do not disprove of the idea of always-online and wish to gradually push the industry in that direction}

Lack of backwards compatibility, apparently needs a Kinect in order to even work, and so far no interesting exclusives (most of what the system is getting I can just get on my PC). For now I still stick by my original statement of I’m sticking with PC and Wii U this gen (at least Wii U has good exclusives finally coming soon).

If you’re looking for a showcase of software taking advantage of the hardware, then wait for E3 and you’ll have plenty of material to judge. Saying that they don’t care about gaming is an idiotic and unfair assumption considering that the primary purpose of the XBOX is playing games. That’s a given. It goes without saying. What Microsoft was demonstrating was what’s new hardware and feature-wise that sets it apart from XBOX360. We already know it plays games. The reveal was about what else it could do.
 
Gaming-wise, the boost in processing power and RAM is reason enough for me to look forward to E3 to see what that lets developers do.

So it’s a glorified cable box… And Microsoft wonders why they are getting their asses kicked by phones.

@TLATopHat  
They were showing off the features of the system, and they made clear in their conference that the ability to play games was not important to them.  
Personally, I feel the best way to show off a gaming system is to show the kind of games that it can play.

For those people who are complaining about the lack of games during the XBOX ONE reveal… A reminder that this was a hardware/feature reveal, not a games expo. Wait a few weeks and you’ll get your fill of future titles during E3. I saw way too many “XBAWX HAZ NO GAMES” “WER R TEH GAMEZ?” comments during the stream.

why dose this thing look like a vsr player

derpy looks amazing with short hair <3

my god…/V/ is hilarious in this moment.

And playing MP still costs you money…

@Background Pony  
Thanks for letting me know. This upgrades my sentiments on the X Box One from “active contempt” to “apathy”.

i was rambling over the interwebs and found out that they will charge a fee to any disc to be tied to a second Xbox live account following its initial installation…  
…so i cant even share my discs with my friends now, i ll need to get the entire xbox to his home if i want to play a game that i have but he doesnt….that killed xbox to me, really e.e’

@gasmaskangel  
Apparently, the system will not always be online, nor will all games require an Internet connection to be played. HOWEVER, a game developer will have the option to make their games require an Internet connection.

I saw absolutely no reason why I should care during the reveal. I don’t care about “intelligent” tv, sports, sports games, skype, anything involving the word “trending”, or modern military shooters.
 
I also am starting to hate the words “dynamic” and “connected” purely out of over use and the way they seem to be used mostly to justify always online.
 
And I’m pretty sure the X Box One (stupid fucking name) will be always online with all their prattling on about the cloud and how it’s basically going to be a fancy cable box.
 
I’ll have to wait for E3 to be sure, but as of now I see no reason to buy any of the next gen consoles.

KINECT KINECT SPORTS KINECT

cant wait for Luna’s response to the conference…
 
 
cause for me that was painful

@DHG BRONY  
FEATURING STEVEN SPIELBERG!
 

 

 
…as executive producer…

I’m afraid to say it looks like Microsoft dropped the ball with the press conference. Their continuous mentioning of “all in one system” and “cloud gaming” are bad signs in my book. Then they get EA Sports to show games instead of 343 Industries. The only thing that got me excited was the Halo tv series. They better step up on E3.

Not even a fucking mention on the always-online controversy. Way to cock it up, Microsoft.

Something Something Sony fanboys yelling.
