what do you think of the new Xbox coming out?
« on: June 04, 2013, 05:07:55 pm »
I seen that they are combining the kinect and all that now, it looks like they have had alot of problems with the kinect, then getting a zoom for it, and now it looks like they finally got it all in one. wish microsoft would do all of this before marketing stuff.

I think that it is going to very similar to Steam's current model, but it will ALSO require you to own a physical disk. I seldom play my Xbox 360 as it is, and I highly doubt I will be getting an Xbox One.

I don't like the boxy-ness.  I also really don't appreciate the move to incorporate everything into the system.  If I buy a console, it's so I can play games on it, not so it can become my entire entertainment system.  And, if it were to be my entertainment system, I would want a way bigger hard drive.  I have a PS3 and a PSP and they tried to incorporate everything into the consoles.  Guess what, I have never put music on them so that entire section is wasted on me.  I only watch blu-ray movies on my PS3 cause it's the only blu-ray player in my house.  On the very rare occasion I don't have a DVD player and want to watch a DVD, then I'll use it at a DVD player but that has been incorporated into consoles for years.  Other than that, all my consoles are used a consoles, not media devices.

And I swear, if there isn't a way to turn off the social media section, I may not get the console.  I don't really use my Facebook for anything anymore and I really don't want to have every game I ever played being posted to Facebook.  And I really don't want to be sitting there playing a game in my nightgown or something and it decides to take a picture and post that on Facebook because I say "shoot."

I'm not looking forward to it, which is a shame 'cause I love the 360. This new Xbox looks like it's going to be focused on everything but good gaming. I don't need a glorified smartphone for a gaming console!

I wasn't expecting much but when they started talking about it, my low expectations were even lowered. No used games without paying a fee? Always have to connect to the Internet at least once every 24 hrs? Kinect required? This is just a recipe for disaster imo.

Actually, the current Xbox (360) came out in 2005, so this next-gen is looonngg overdue!

Based on the initial things I'm hearing on the XBox One, I'm not likely to buy one. Seems like it could turn into a big flop.

I just picked up my first Xbox 360/Kinect last summer, so I'm pretty certain I will not be buying this new system.  Sounds like the biggest drawback is it not being able to handle games from previous version - not a very smart marketing ploy IMO.  Also, given the various social media connection methods, the increased "connectivity" with social media is not a huge reason to buy such an expensive thing.

This might appeal to hard core gamers that want to be on the cutting edge, but having the motion sensor in the box vs separate may cause some people to have to reconfigure their entertainment setup.

It might also appear to people who got the first generation Xbox system and are looking to upgrade.

If I was in the market, I'd hold back and wait to hear how this new system shakes out.  Then get the second generation of it once most of the bugs are fixed and they include a patch to play previous games...

I think the Xbox one screw themselves over in E3 and should rethink their marketing.... I wouldn't really care about the $100 difference between the ps4 but that online verification and region locking (I heard they will have more support for other regions later) is dumb in their part.... The only game that looks interesting from xbox one is Titanfall but since it is coming out for the pc, there really isn't anything out there that differs from the ps4... I think that if xbox one pulled that online verification and region locking juck then they should have at least have more over the top exclusives (not on ps4 and pc)

Since I am mostly a single player person there no contest which I will choose for the console war
