Ah, so this announcement is fake? Even if there is no fee for used games, Microsoft has lost my interest now.

So the used game fee is fake?????

It looks so

normal 

I'm so surprised many people were disappointed with their reveal. I'm a Sony guy, and I'm not going to lie, it's capabilities look promising. It's just from the gaming view, not much was talked about. But EVERYONE seems to dislike it. I honestly don't know why. It looks cool.

So the used game fee is fake?????

Actually, they were saying the news that the Xbox One wouldn't have a fee was fake.

Sooo,the Xbox One WILL have fee.

 

Uhhhhh f.uck them to hell 

 

They think all people are rich or what???

 

Most people I know get games used because they can't afford the price of 60$ because they were semi-poor.

 

And no backward compatability????? WTF????

 

I play GameCube games on my Wii ALL THE TIME

 

I play Ps1 games on my Ps2 ALL THE TIME

 

and the f.ucker from microsoft says if you're backward compatable you're moving backward?????

 

What an assdick 

 

seriously what happened to the days when video games WERE ACTUALLY VIDEO GAMES

You do realize that the newer versions of the PS3 and the PS4 wont have backwards compatibly (but the PS4 will have Gaikai) and not just the Xbox One, right?

Yeah and that's also stupid.

 

The Wii was backward compatable with the GameCube

 

The original DS was backward compatable with the GBA

 

the 3DS is backward compatable with the DS

 

For God's sake the Wii U is backward compatable with the Wii for every Wii game,they even put the original Wii menu as an option to change the menu.

 

the newer version of Ps3 should've been compatable like the older ones so I don't know why the newer ones aren't.

 

I hope sony would fix it to a certain extent with the PS4 because obviously my Ps3 won't last forever and I have a TON of Ps3 games 

Edited by Metal Snake

Maybe there will be an official announcement that they wont have fees after all Microsoft said all the release info was just possible scenarios. Backwards compatibility though...they should have, though maybe theyll be like the PS3 and have digital downloads of games from their older systems.

Edited by Rainbow Dash

Well,they better correct all this mess.

 

Because if they don't,they better be "Prepared for Trouble" or else we'll "Make it double"

Yeah and that's also stupid.

The PS3 will be supported until the end of 2016 at least. I'd expect even longer though. Look at the PS2.

So...the Kinect can talk now apparently. And remote play.

 

Microsoft's day-long media outing for the Xbox One this week was only the first of a two-stage unveiling for the new console, and the E3 event won't be just about games.
 
Among the features not yet shown off for the console is the ability for gamers to have a friend take over gameplay remotely to help them through a difficult spot in a game and Kinect's ability to talk back to gamers.
 
The Xbox One's heavy reliance on the Kinect for voice commands will eventually include two-way conversations, according to two sources who tested out the still-in-development feature.
 
In one scenario, Kinect used its facial recognition to scan a room full of people and note if there was someone in the room it didn't recognize. It then told the console owner that there is someone in the room it didn't recognize and asked the new person to identify themselves. Once the person said their name, Kinect welcomed them and saved their information to the console.
 
Xbox One's ability to speak will allow it to function more like the iPhone's Siri, according to Microsoft officials who presented the feature. The voice may not be available at the console's launch, but if it isn't it will be added in a post launch patch within the first few months.
 
The Xbox One will also feature the ability to Skype a friend to ask them for help on a game and then allow them to take over gameplay. The feature is designed to allow players to help one another get through sections of a game when they're stuck.
 
In a demonstration of the feature, a source told us that a message popped up on their screen asking if it was OK if the player they were Skyping with could take over the game. Once the friend took over, the first player was able to watch them play the game. Either player could end the remote play with a button push.
 
While the feature is already fully functional, the details of its use aren't completely locked in yet. It's not clear, for instance, how long a person can remotely play or if they need to also own the game they are helping their friend play through.
 
While the demonstration our source saw used a local hardwired connection between consoles, Microsoft officials say they aren't worried about latency issues. It is also unclear what technology will be used to power the remote play.
 
Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 will also feature remote play. The service, powered by Gaikai, will allow players will to ask a friend over the internet to take over their game, should they find themselves in a rough spot in a game. Sony's service will also support streaming live gameplay video to friends and even a "director" mode for games, letting other players interact with your game by dropping you health, maps and other items over the internet.
 
We've reached out to Microsoft for comment on these two unannounced Xbox One features and will update the story when they respond.
 
Update:
Major Nelson of Xbox live also confirms that trade in and used games will work on the Xbox One
 
Update #2:
The new buttons on the controller explained

 

Microsoft has explained the names and functionality of those mysterious new buttons on Xbox One’s controller where Start and Back appeared on Xbox 360. According to a Microsoft representative, these buttons are named “Menu” and View.”
 
“The Menu button (on the right) will bring up context-specific menus which game and app developers can design to enhance the user experience,” Microsoft told IGN. “The Menu button could be used in scenarios such as bringing up in-game menus, showing video playback options, and accessing commands on the console’s user interface.”
 
The View button, meanwhile, “will change views or provide more information in games and apps. The function of the View button will be driven by developers. Possible uses of the View button include viewing a map during a role playing game, displaying a leaderboard in a first person shooter, and enhancing the navigation of the console’s user interface.”

I've been reading around about the "Xbone". And the more I read, the more turned off I am about the console.

 

I'm not a console wartard. I'm not. I am more a Nintendo guy yes, but I own a PS2, PS3, and I plan to get a PS4. I've never played Xbox, since I wasn't really interested in it, but that never meant I hated it. I was indifferent about it.

 

But, eff me if they decide to implement all of those DRM methods. More specifically, that one where the Kinect counts how many people are in a room at the time and takes measures if it decides there are too many people are in a room.

 

That is just straight up greed and tyranny. Because of this, even if Microsoft releases an enticing exclusive, I will not even consider purchasing an Xbone until Microsoft gets its act together. I'm hoping many others are with me on this, because crap like that is unacceptable.

 

Microsoft can't even give straight answers about anything. No "yes" or "no", just a bunch of big words. They don't confirm nor deny these patents will be implemented.

 

I know Sony has that Playstation Eye thing. I hope they don't decide to jump on this bandwagon. If they do, well, it'll be a sad day.
