Herp derp indeed

-
-
hahaha, seriously.
Hey guys, check out this camera that will be on 24/7 in your living room!-
-
I assume it's only on when you turn your xbox on. Still kind of weird. I occasionally watch TV in my underwear, that is going to be awkward if a camera is pointed at me.
-
So then what about those new tvs out there with cameras built in. Or laptops that have built in camera, or ipads, or your smart phone. I dont get it.
-
I have a lot of control over my laptop (I can uninstall the webcam driver, which I did to my last work laptop) and I'm not familiar with televisions that have built in cameras (is that a new thing?). I'm assuming you won't be able to disable the kinect camera.
-
I saw a commercial for one last night, where you can control the menus with your hand movements.
-
-
Those people don't raise rats, your URL is a LIE.
-
-
-
-
I dont know what your trying to say really, but why all this hate against the xbox when there are lots of current products with easy ways to spy on you as well.
-
-
-
-
It's in an idle state whenever the Xbox One is plugged in. The mic is always active when the Xbox One is on unless you disable that feature in the privacy center. It's listening for the 'XBOX ON' instruction, per the XbOne FAQ: http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/privacy
You are in control of when Kinect sensing is On, Off or Paused: If you don’t want the Kinect sensor on while playing games or enjoying your entertainment, you can pause Kinect. To turn off your Xbox One, just say “Xbox Off.” When the system is off, it’s only listening for the single voice command -- “Xbox On,” and you can even turn that feature off too. Some apps and games may require Kinect functionality to operate, so you’ll need to turn it back on for these experiences.-
Instead of having privacy settings why not just allow users to unplug it completely when they're not using it?
It's the requirement to have it permanently plugged in and configured that's the problem.-
Because: Microsoft
--
We really have no idea what's on their collective mind with this thing. -
What's the difference as long as they give you the option in privacy settings to turn it off?
-
The difference is if it's unplugged I know it's doing nothing, while if it's plugged I don't know what it's doing. if it's not doing anything why is it necessary to have it plugged in and configured?
The PRISM revelation has shown that Microsoft are quite happy to invade their customers' privacy regardless of what they say in their privacy policy. For that reason I will not allow Microsoft to put a camera and microphone in my living room (same goes for Google, Yahoo or any other big company that hands users' information to the government).-
OK

Kotaku is now reporting that MS is denying that the XBox One will rape your mother to death in the dark of night. More to follow...

-
tbh their rumors have usually been pretty accurate so im going to believe all the ones that align with my personal opinion anyway
-
UPDATE: the lights will be on when the rape occurs.
-
Follow up statement from MS's PR spokesman: "Fuck you and your whore mother, we'll stream that hot shit live on Bing. It'll be seen by dozens!!"
Preorders have spiked with these developments.

Reports now confirmed that XBox One wont play used or NEW games.

Outlandish Predictions?
- XBOX One games priced lower than last generation due to DRM and whatnot. Part of the enticement.
- PSN Plus style system for XBOX Live members where you get free game(s)
- Reduced priced One if you contract with Live for X years
- XBOX Two announced which is a 360 reshelled with no drive that plays along with the One. Can play 360 games through the One's drive and any past 360 games you've downloaded through the store. Also works with original 360's.
- Games announced for XBone where you guy it for that, you get it for Windows 8 also or some similar tie in with Windows 8.
-
Nothing changes. Newer "unparalleled power". Same prices. Same DLC/microtransactions.
-
they really need to revamp the XBL offerings. They cant keep things like netflix behind a pay wall any more. right?
-
Wonder how long this is gonna take to start

streaming halp!: all I got is youtube, kotaku (?!), engadget, and the verge. I'm unclear if any of those will have the actual stage show. Does anyone know for certain?
Engadget has some video up but it was just two dudes talking outside. kotaku says it has the stream but I've been getting nothing but errors. Is there a youtube channel/link?-
www.giantbomb.com/chat

Isn't that how many you get with PSN+? Also that comes out to 24 a year, not a bad number really.
-
-
-
World of tanksss
-
world of tanks?
-
this looks like a 360 title graphically. oh wait it is...nm
-
F2P game. It's been out on the PC for a while there are a number of shackers that have played it. The graphics are lacking but the armor mechanics are pretty solid.
-
-
-
-
-
That can't be right. They'd have said something right after the trailer.
-
-
WoT 360 lols
-

It will be interesting to see how many he is right about.

i am praying to the altar of CBoaT

As usual, the guy is spot on.
-
-
Hey, two new free games a month is a start. At least it shows MS isn't completely tone deaf here.
-
-
sounds Polish?
-
-
At Wargamingk... we's creates the blockbusters game.

I gotta admit, War Thunder on PS4 and World of Tanks on X360 has me interested if I can link accounts.

sure until you see the payment model they have in the game
-
I already use a 360 controller to play Tanks, but I'm interested in how they minimized the controls since I use an emulator and am forced to jump to secondary sequences to do certain things.
-
-
Yeah. Worth the $10 to play it from the couch. All my top stats are with the controller too, totally capable way to do it.
-
-
When I get back to Nevada I will.
-
Totally interested in grabbing that config, WOT with a controller actually sounds a bit more ideal than kb+m

deathofrats tried to be cool and label a game before the trailer finished.

lol no it's worse..button prompts. lol this is awful

The FIRST hint of gameplay on this thing and it's a QTE fight. I mean if that's your sort of game, then you win, but that looks awful to the rest of us

^^
-
-
-
I'd surmise the reason this is so QTE is that this game was I believe originally slated to be Kinect only.
-
[deleted]
-
-
Looks like it might vaguely have batman style combat with too much QTE thrown in.
-
They got arms and legs cut off but no heads?
-
[deleted]
-
Looks like a really nice animation, not sure if its much of a game tho :|
-
Interesting to go from Dark Souls 2 to Call of QTE: Ryse From Your Gwave... Dark Souls proves that you don't need QTEs for great, dynamic combat and this game obviously doesn't trust itself to have good combat. Such a disappointment. Also his sword twirling is annoying.
-
it's really pointless to expect every game to take their cues from Dark Souls
-
-
gameplay aside i fucking hate the name "ryse"
-
well these guys are turkish
-
The name is terrible. Also, I like how the Crytek guy says it wouldn't be possible without the POWER of the Xbone. lol
-
The industry as a whole needs to stop spelling shit retardedly.
-
-
-
Neat and cool for a $10 game. Better not be a full price game.
-
-
just got goose bumps. KI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
lol killer instinct

hey they listened to everyone who wanted killer instinct only on xbone. Which one of you told you you wanted that...

F1 scaled it back years ago because cars were too powerful.
-
It's funny how ignorant people are. If you don't know wtf you're talking about, don't try to make fun of something.
-
are you talking about me? cuz ive been watching F1 since 2000. I found it retarted they talk about mclarens new super car being too good for F1 regulations when F1 regulations exist for a reason the most being cost saving, safety and making driver skill more important.
-
which doesn't mean that there are no regulations or that the McLaren doesn't exceed them

Yeah, conceptually that's pretty fucking cool and I'd love to see it in other games.

I feel like the Zombie genre has surpassed the WWII genre as most worn out
-
Honestly there is still a direction I want them to go with both genres. Zombie games and WWII games need to go big. Day Z had zombies but the sense of exploration and dealing with other survivors was the bigger part of the game. Also I want a proper BF 1942 sequel. I just wish devs/publishers would cycle around more.

Yeah I was warming up a little bit and then I went dry. Like Master Chief's feet.
-

Hmmmm. That's a lot of money.
-
November 2013 - $500.
Wow... -
-
-
-
Yeah, fucking ridiculous.
-
500 Euro would be about the same in dollars. Euroshafted.
-
-
-
$499 i loved the long pause before clapping
-
500!! your crazy MS.
-
-
-
Didn't they take some pretty massive losses with the cell processor and blu ray in the PS3? Ram seems pretty cheap in comparison. Hell they might as well take the hit now for the gains in the long run.
-
I have a feeling Sony was prepared for $399 but with that price I expect Sony to come in at $449
-
-
Goddamn you exchange rate!

Sweeeeet!

i think im getting old, but none of the FPS games on the Xbone look appealing to me..they all kind of blend together, there wasn't much to differentiate between them.

FPS games are crap, there I said it.

that was one of the only stand out ones..i hope more companies will turn away from drab sci fi and go more into colorful stylized looking games. i guess the market will determine this.

Wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 costs more or the same.
-
my guess is 4fiddy.

I hope you get to play as the mech.

wish granted

It looks like most devs are aiming for 60fps. Titanfall and BF4 are both 60fps too

WTF is this? All this thing does is play games? In this day and age you'd think they could put in some extra functionality like streaming video services, replacing our cable/satellite set top boxes, running a home media center etc. etc. What a piece of shit! I'm boycotting M$XBore!!!
-
Hahaha seriously
-
Hey gang, do you remember Tivo and Wii Sports? That'll be $500! Tivo functionality not actually included
-
$499!? No. There were already enough reasons to say "No". The price sticks a fork in it.
-

Day one Wii U. I've been very happy with it. Frankly? Nintendo had a better showing of upcoming titles (at the time). Better handling of overall anticipation for the system - and everyone said their E3 in 2012 was lackluster. At the time, it was. But compared to this? Considering that Microsoft execs were talking about blowing Sony out of the water, I was eager to be impressed. Now? I'm left with a loss of confidence. One day? Maybe. They gave owners of the 360 NO reason to upgrade. I didn't see a thing that would entice me to dump the 360 and get an Xbox One. Aside from all the other crap, convincing people that the Xbox One IS the system to get is their problem.
Let's see. 15 games. 8 of which are New IPs. Hmm... Well:
1.) Black Tusk game
2.) Quantum Break
3.) Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive
4.) Titanfall (from EA though)
5.) Below
6.) Crimson Dragon
7.) D4
8.) Spark
9.) Killer Instinct (arguably not a new IP - Just new to MS)
10.) Dead Rising 3?
11.) Battlefield 4 timed DLC
12.) CoD:Ghosts timed DLC
13.) Halo FPS
14.) Witcher 3
15.) Mincraft - Xbox One
Am I missing anything? No, I'm not impressed. Having a 360 and a PC, I see no reason why I should spend $500 on an Xbox One. That is basically what they were supposed to do. Impress me enough to get their new shiny device. Didn't happen. It's hard to say "never", but right now they're really not doing themselves any favors.
Looking forward to Sony's conference and the Nintendo Direct tomorrow. I'm also interested in seeing what EA and Ubisoft have to show.
-
-
i am sure the argument will be 'but you all easily pay $500-$600 for an ipad, this is cheaper and plays more games'
-
They did use that argument for the Surface - another device that was overpriced at launch. In many ways, it still is. You can get a 32GB RT for $499 or you can get an Android based tablet for $299. Fry's is putting these things right next to each other in their latest ad.
In so many ways, they're trying to become Apple. I just don't see it happening. Not like this. Not with a blind eye to sensible product pricing and giving the customer a good reason to want their product.

That cockpit looks sweet. Also District 9 throwing bullets at foes!

Looks like 2013 will continue to be PC for me.
-
-
If they hit $400 or less they win. Even if they do all the same shitty rental game policies and DRM shit, that $500 price is PS3 awful.
-

All the early adopters and everyone that wants it is going to buy it. They'll sell out too so I don't see them going lower.

these are the console exclusives..if i didn't like these games and want some other game that is multiplatform, why would i bother with the xbone? DeadRising was the only big steal they stole from Sony, but that won't get me to buy a $500 brick.
-
-
I think having titanfall exclusive is a pretty big grab.

I'm almost positive it's PC also.

Congratulations MS. WiiU Day One purchaser here and you couldn't sell me. I owned a Jaguar for Christ's sake. I had a 32X!!!! I'm a new toy slut, and this didn't get under my skirt.

$500 is batshit. Lose the Kinect assholes, no one cares. If the PS4 is the same crazy ass price with a bunch of shit just like other shit I've played a million times. I owned 3 different 360s including a day 1 launch unit. I was a live subscriber for I think it was 8 years. They have completely driven me away in the last year. I was a total 360 fan. I didn't get a PS3 at launch either and now I love it. Maybe they'll pull their heads from their asses in a year or so and I'll get the $300 model.

I use my iPad more than my PC and my phone. This is not that device.

yeah I dunno what else you want for a pre-launch lineup. I'm sure some people want more indie games to be shown but honestly selling a $500 piece of hardware with indie games that could be done on current hardware seems... difficult.
-
-
[deleted]
-
yep i think this is it. All the games looked super polished and graphically amazing, but the gameplay was not so great.
-
-
it felt like one giant game. very uninspiring.
-
-
I think MS did good. Did not sell me on day one buy though.
-
[deleted]
-
Wasn't a bad presentation at all (other than some of the banter and audio fail), but not a day one buy for me. I can wait a year or so to play exclusives. I will be getting a backup 360 since they do plan on supporting it, just in case. I do think that Sony will most likely be doing the same thing with the PS3. Also, PC Upgrade and I already have a Wii U.
-
-
www.gamespot.com/e3/ -- all of their e3 links redirect to e3 2006 website... lol
-
I was really hoping they would sell me but damn, I wasn't excited by that at all. $500 is disappointing too.
-
I'd give the conference about 7 / 10.
Pros :
* They really held back on the media / marketing talk.
* They showed lots of games.
* They said the price.
Cons
* Very few games really interested me. Just personal taste though. Titanfall looked cool. So did that indie game Below. Nothing else grabbed me.
* Didnt really get a next-gen feeling from any of the games, I don't mean visually, but game design wise. seems to be all the same paradigms we're already familiar with.
* Expensive.
-
-
You could say that about any game though.
-
-

Not a bad showing, no real surprises - I don't think it was particularly strong in terms of exclusives.
Things I care or might care about pending more information:
DR3, below, crimson dragon, black tusk's game (show more jerks :( )
Things i think might be neat that I don't care about:
that world making game sparkwhatever
Things i think are hilarious:
Quantum Break, the price -
-
-
-
I think my problem with Microsoft's approach to "cloud" with the Xbone is twofold. Firs, they're saying they'll be using the "cloud" for things that make no sense, like real-time lightning - it's just buzzwords. And second, they're calling anything that uses server data of any kind "cloud" even if it's just for a simple check-in. The latter is a problem with the whole industry nowadays though, so I shouldn't put the blame on them. Still, it's kind of annoying to see the word being thrown around as the magical solution to everything.

Well I liked the look of a number of those games, but at $500 there is almost no way I will be buying one of these anywhere near launch. I'll wait until a price drop just like I did with the 360. $500 for a console is ridiculous.
-

They technically said "Coming to xbox one exclusively spring 2014" which if you take that literally it will be coming to other platforms later on.
-
[deleted]
-
I must be broken, because that 20 second clip of Below is the only thing that excited me
-
so, yeah:
-too many gamers were straining too hard to hate on every single aspect of this conference. it was embarrassing to watch, the GT chat stream was especially bad
-500 bucks for a console is ridiculous. I won't pay it.
-actually surprised there wasn't any kinect/UI stuff on there. I guess they figured they already covered enough of that and that it plays well
-a surprising number of interesting looking games are XBOX ONE exclusives-
I thought Battlefield looked cool and the Quantum Whatever game looked cool. Battlefield will be on everything else and the Quantum thing will be on PC 4 years later like Alan Wake. Titanfall will be PC also. Five hundred American Dollars for a bare console, no multiplayer, and Wii Sports Redux. PS you can't rent games at launch to try stuff out cheaply after you just spent $600 to play online with an Xbox One. It seems insane to me.
If Sony is this bugfuck out of touch also then I saved that money too.-
Quantum Break looks really interesting. I mean come on, it's a Remedy Game!
-
Does it look $560.00 interesting?
-
this is such a stupid counterargument. Unless you have a list of games you do think are each individually worth $500...
-
No it isn't. In order to play that game, you'll have to spend that much. Hey, if money is no object, have-at it. If that's the only game that was interesting (as in my case), then no, it's not worth it, at least to me.
-
[deleted]
-
-
How much did you spend on that PC?
-
-
-
-
I read that Spark would be coming to PC. I may be wrong.
-
-
-
Sums it up perfectly, yes.

From my earlier post:
Let's see. 15 games. 8 of which are New IPs. Hmm... Well:
1.) Black Tusk game
2.) Quantum Break
3.) Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive
4.) Titanfall (from EA though)

8.) Spark
9.) Killer Instinct (arguably not a new IP - Just new to MS)
10.) Dead Rising 3?
11.) Battlefield 4 timed DLC
12.) CoD:Ghosts timed DLC
13.) Halo FPS
14.) Witcher 3
15.) Mincraft - Xbox One
Am I missing anything? -
It's only about $25 more than the 360 launch price and has more functionality. Seems fair to me.
-
-
Not adjusting for inflation it's not.
-
-
-
Panzer Dragoon spiritual successor and a new KI?
Yup, I'm sold.-
Also, I'm gonna have to check out the Konami forums today; if their forums are anywhere near as retarded as the Capcom ones were when DMC went multiplatform then the MGS announcement is probably causing suicides as we speak.
-
Panzer dragoon Orta was fantastic.
-
-
The game line up looks great. I think it was a good move saving all the games stuff for now. I was on the fence but the price pushed me over the edge. I won't say that I'll never buy one. But I'll wait for the first price drop. At $499 that's just too rich for my blood.
-
I wonder if they'll update the system to have two HDMI pass through inputs. I'd wait for that.
-
The TV pass through stuff doesn't interest me that much. I'm virtually a cord cutter now as it is. I add cable during football season and then cancel it when the super bowl is over.
-
-
-
What was the PS3 price at launch?
I wasn't getting any of the new consoles regardless of the price as $100 won't really sway me one way or the other. But I feel everyone complaining about the kinect is abit strange. Now that everyone with an xbox has a kinect, it seems like developers can actually start making more games with it. Of course it will increase the price though so they really need to do something with it. -
well I'm not surprised it's a no buy for me. the cool stuff in the industry right now to me is humble, kickstarter, steam, and so on. PC is happy enough to do it all. I'm curious what Sony has to say though as they could make a serious effort to poop on MS' policies and win converts.

Wow do I live under a rock. I thought that was just some kind of standard fighting game smack talk. I had no idea it was a reference to rape.
-
I'm normally one of the first people to call out something like this, but this sounds like it was taken out of context.
-
Not really, that phrase is necessarily implying rape, that's why the audience laughed. Imagine if he had said "OK, I will kill your character in a few more seconds" -- no laugh. "Resistance is futile" -- laugh, because it's a reference to something else that works in the same context. "I am going to win" -- no laugh, unless it's at how awkward it is. "Die. Die. Time to die. Die." -- anyone who gets the D2 reference will laugh (and those who don't, won't -- further evidence that it's funny because it's referencing something else and associating it with this context)
So, make a list of things that "Just let it happen, it'll be over soon" could be referencing.-
Honestly, the first thing I thought of when I read that line was Fish's death in Saving Private Ryan :/

Here is my analysis so far.
Open world games are going to be this generation's "Modern Warfare."
Metal Gear Solid 5 got it right from what I saw.
They plop you in a giant area and give you free reign to do whatever you want. Dead Rising, Watctdogs, AssCreed 4 are all similar and I really like this. What makes me the happiest is that most of these are multiplatform/PC :)

Your cable box plugs into the HDMI in on the Xbox One. It's integrated into the system from there. They discussed this a little on May 21st. While we may get some info this week, they did say that they wanted to use E3 to highlight the games. If we don't hear more this week, I'm sure we will in the months ahead.

I wanted awesome games and some backtracking on the announced restrictions. I got a bunch of OK looking games that I'll play on my PC instead and no mention of the controversy. I'm also kinda upset that MGS is going open world. Every game is open world and it's starting to feel like a regular game where I have to do a lot of walking between missions. I'm worried it will play like far cry 3, where the gameplay often deteriorates into exploiting bad AI. I think the series should stick to the action adventure rollercoaster, but maybe they'll prove me wrong. Maybe next year Xbone will be ready, but I'm far from sold at this point.
-
i don't know why you would expect them to backtrack on the restrictions they personally announced
-
-

I wasn't feeling MGS5 either. The open world stuff they showed looked like an unnecessary me-too addition, similar to how I felt about the standard shooting options in MGS4.
I guess the basic MGS stealth action is pretty outdated on its own, so they have to try something new to make it more interesting.-

Really? I mean, really, really? Any thought that Microsoft was going to shit on the mood of happy urgency they're working to create at an event like this by discussing something soberly wasn't worth the time you spent contemplating it.
Seriously- there was no fucking way they were going to touch anything to do with the used game/DRM fiasco. I'm actually kind of surprised they outed the price-- it didn't seem to fit the mood they were going for, at all.
I'm going to try really hard to stick with my PS3/360/PC through this holiday season, and not because of any of this DRM nonsense. That's all bullshit, but what are you going to do? Write your fucking congressman? It's where the industry has gone (not going, gone). I have enough backlog across the 3 systems I just mentioned that I don't think I'll really have a need for ps4 or xbone until some time late next year... and probably never given the amount of time I'm wasting on NHL 13.
