Omg that Hilarious! I am sp reposting this ...

ROTLF

Hilarious!!

You are my hero Treezy!!! Wu-Tang is for the children :)

Thanks guys. Couldn't have put it better my self Diggs!

Good work bruv ! :)

Loads!!

and I just smashed Moto GP 10/11 for the 100% as well :(

Word from the boss man himself: "all is well"!

oh dumbass i should have actually looked at the pic first

It was a good giggle. No offense intended btw for those who may be passionate about the next xbox.

i had a chuckle, but im interested by the xbox one, but i want to see more and hear more before i make any decision- still too many rumour/bs floating around.

Ohh damn, you see what i did there, i used common sense :) (still looks like a toploader though :P )

The game's side of things is def' going to be interesting, shame about non-backwards compatability though. I know I'll end up buying one eventually anyway...

..just depends on price and money around the time it releases as to how early I'll get one. Otherwise, my backlog will be keeping me entertained for years!

Unless the next BF features ridiculously huge player filled matches and I'd be missing out if you know what I mean ;)

i honestly don't care about backwards compatibility, i dont play any of my ps2 games on my ps3 (yes i have one that worked), and i have my 360 to play stuff i have on bac

backlog. If we can work it out, could poss do picture in picture of 360 on the xb1ox (ohh see what i did there :P )

As long as Gamerscore carrys across im happy

All I've seen is Dev Beta for CoD Ghosts...And I just want to see more Xbox Games that can show off what it can do..

Video plus :) if they stated that at the unveil I would have been happy. lol

@chronic kaos- they didn`t show much real gameplay at all, it was mostly FMV! PS4 showed a hell of a lot more in game footage for sure... We need E3 to hurry up

Generic grumpy old man for me, reasoning: 1)Grumpy Old Men was an excellent movie. 2)"Oooo-shiny" Now deems quality. 3)Don't need it.

People are dropping unfinalized opinions. E3 will be the decider.

My point is groupthink is ugly and dangerous in other circumstances. If you're not into the One, that's cool. But don't just hate it to come off as a hipster or something

Yes, the reason people dislike the One is to become a Hipster? The validity of arguments regarding the One for positive are just as filled with holes as the negative.

I have a proper device for apps, i.e. an iPad. That is all.

So do I but nobody is making you use the apps I would rather watch on my 50 inch tv than a little handheld screen

At least you have this option, buddy. People like us don't even have that option on the new xbox.

The new achievement will destroy all hope.

True dat!

i'am flogging my xbox and getting space hopper?

I'm quite happy having switched to PC gaming these last months...

Lot of fluff in that launch... No real details, at lest no details gamers wanted. I thought it was going OK until speak of EA started.

I won't lie, i am super stoked for Mario Kart and Smash Bros

Can't go anywhere but up from here, right

That's good. "Sports, sports, sports..."

That was awesome thanks!

I won't play the game unless I know the dog won't get hurt! Can't stand to see animals get hurt, even virtual ones!

For the low price of $3.99, you can buy dog armor...

Yeah, if I get this game I'm doing everything in my power to save the dogs! Th people on the other hand...

I was ready to preorder until I heard about no backwards compatibility. I have at least 2 years worth of games to play still in my backlog.

No thanks!

no back comp will be a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people. I think with the launch line up at E3 people will change their tune.

The reason I would like BC is because there is well over a year or more of gaming left in the current gen lineup..der be aloot of games oot der!!!

I was sold until no backwards compatibility was confirmed. I might just go crazy and trade in my 360 and its games though. Plenty time to decide!

I don't get the importance of backwards compatibility. There's nothing stopping anyone from having multiple setups.

I think it's mostly a peace of mind for backlogs thanks to the importance of achievements. Who wants to have extra 360s sitting in storage in case of hardware failure?

As well as XBLA compatibility

And when you're asking people to reinvest in a console, they want to be blown away before dropping hundreds of dollars. Backwards compatibility makes the cost more justif

iable since they can then sell off their 360 or at least continue working on their 360 games without needing to have it and the one hooked up to the TV.

Shadow I agree. Wow factor needed before blowing the Bens.

I am not in it for the backwards compat. Why would you want to play your old games on the new system. Everyone has gotten spoiled with the backwards compat.

I agree with Lita, I still have my NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Sega Satarn sitting on my shelf. There is nothing wrong with multiple setups

How much backlog for each system?

The importance of backwards compatability has nothing to do with multiple setups, or having 10 different consoles to choose from. The issue is...

these old games, aren't old imo. Is Bioshock Inifinite old? Will GTA V be old? On the other hand, why do I even need a new console? 15 exclusive games in a year? TV &

sports? Trending? If it the 'one' then they would have been intelligent, added BC, and overtook there 'old' system by destroying it with BC.

Thus far, and in the likely future, there is nothing, not even a game that will make this a day one purchase. There are still excellent games slated for the 360. Wii U!

Templar LOL! You don't want to know. I should have never left the NES.

Diggs. Yeah I understand where you are coming from but since the One and the 360 are two different pieces of hardware and M$ decided to not make it BC because I think

they want the gamers to look ahead into the future and not in their opinion be dragged behind with BC. I will agree with you about Bioshock Inf and GTA V.

But what everyone is forgetting is that the 360 will be supported for a long time here after. I is just that you will have to switch your gaming systems to play the old

games.

Xbox One: Xbox "One device for all your entertainment" This is the thinking behind the "One" which is understandable. i'm however going to reserve my judgement untill E3.

I'm disappointed and angry. Jerick85 is right to wait for E3 before making an informed decision but first impression was terrible, they've a LOT of explaining to do at E3

Don't understand why they are using CoD as the Vanguard of the new Xbox. CoD peaked at MW2 years ago. Bungie's latest project would have been more appropriate.

Bungie is either is releasing on both platforms, as is CoD. The reason they had CoD up is because it is the biggest franchise in the world right now and they made a deal

that gives them early access to new content for CoD. That alone is MONUMENTAL in winning the console wars because every idiot who only plays CoD has no incentive to buy

the PS4 over the Xbox if the Xbox is getting content sooner. The same can be said about people who only play sports games, of which there are a lot of. Hardcore games are

still the minority.

congrats!

Geez! Congrats!

Hip hop hooray!

Looks like it has some sort of DRM that will restrict transfer of used games.

Yeah from what I'm reading you have to pay a fee to play used games once the code has been assigned to an account . This will also basically make renting games pointless.

That would be a no-go for me.

Okay, I'm seeing the articles about the "activation fee" now. So......how's the TrueTrophies site coming along?

In related news, Gamefly stock takes a massive tumble ..........

Seems the 'activation fee' is the full price of the game! I foresee MS allowing you to trade your code in for a very small discount off another game..

I'm a big fan of Microsoft but they can get fucked on restricting used games.

wow, that is horrid.

We'll see how this plays out... Pissing off their primary retail outlet in the US (GameStop) isn't good business for Microsoft...

Not to mention eliminating probably 1/3 of their customer base who don't have internet connectivity.

I'm still absolutely shocked... Not that they would want to to implement all these things... BUT that they actually did.

Anyhow, not sure if I'll go PS4 for just PC for next gen... Still not sure that MS won't back down also but if they do I got the same username on Steam/PSN as I do here.

i, for one, welcome our new-game-only overlords.

*I

From what I read, he's confirmed that there is a fee, and each one is licensed to a profile. You can trade it in, but you pay a fee.

I've stopped trading in games for what they offer, so it won't affect me much. However, there are people who rely on this to buy new games. Disappointing.

Did you read about the potential to have constant achievement additions? Kinda scared about seasonal achievements or achievements based on memes, etc.

For this I am glad I am not a completionist.

that way, you get the catchment for fifa, AC:IV, Battlefield, COD and watchdogs on top of any launch titles

Is that based on GTA V? Or is that just a random 'bold' prediction? I am confused as to why September considering it is the start of a school year...

not the best time to be running out and spending $500 on a new console. "Mom, screw school stuff, I want an Xbox One." lolzzzz

It's based on being ready for all the big titles. Ad the fact they have the design finished, working, and running.

They are waiting in software now, I think hardware is complete.

I read somewhere that you can maybe record your gameplay of unlocking the achievement and share it with friends.

Okay well that would be freaking awesome, gotta admit. Many moments I wish I could have recorded.

Used Game Market has no chance to survive make your time.

/rimshot

I mean HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS-ON

and although it was light on games, I liked what I saw.

That's what E3 is for ;) I'm not mad on all the extras but you can see what the console will do for gaming :)

I'm liking it, bit sad re backwards compatability....but looking forward to getting one

That's another thing, I don't care about graphics all that much. Gameplay is where it's at. If I want to see something gorgeous I'll look into a mirror

^ hahaha! The only possible downside for me is the rumours of games being linked to your tag and having to pay to use on others. My kids and Mrs Kinetic will flip if...

they can't play my games on their accounts. Also trading in funds my new purchases so I await news on that.

Dave, that is pretty much confirmed, sorry to say. What the fee will be on the other hand... if it's a few bucks, that will help the devs earning a bit more money, I am

all for it. If it's the price of a full new game, MS is going to have trouble with their costumers.

It sounds like the 'used game fee' will be the current new price of the game on the marketplace. http://tinyurl.com/owemjrm

You are paying for a licence if you buy second hand. So I can imagine it being at near full cost. That said you can also sell your licence once, but the details are vauge

atm. Also it does require connection to the internet once every 24 hours from what I've read. So the machine is not truly offline. All the TV crap is also only for the US

thats built in.

All this DRM crap can do one. Looks like I'll stay on my PC if thats the case.

Devs won't get money, publishers will. Anything post-production never goes to the Devs unless it's post-production DLC, and even then, sales of ppDLC goes to the publishe

Totally, COD and Forza looked great to me. We'll see a load more at E3 and I'll hopefully get to play some at GamesCom too!

It is exactly what I wanted from the Reveal event. Give me a price-point and I'll pre-order. Hell, I'll even get cable!

I don't get the people who are complaining. I like the One. It will most likely be a day one purchase!

Lita: cause they took the worst of the PS3 (installing), the worst of EA (fees for used games), and the worst of Microsoft (metro) and dumped it on a 5 year old desktop

Day one purchase for me. See you on Forza people.

1) I always install my games 2) I buy new since I believe in supporting the developers 3) Metro isn't that bad. It is the look of MS products right now so makes sense.

Also I'm more interested in playing games than looking at the dashboard ;)

Do I pre order from GAME or don't I, ahh screw it I will in the morning.

I've pre-ordered from GAME. Don't trust ordering online in case it arrives late.

Lita: glad it works for you. For me 1) my hdd can't store my arcade games let alone retail 2) I support them when they price it right 3) It is. ;)

Some interesting tech but nothing to make me want one yet.

Still not hyped. PC still does more, well except for Kinect :D

avatar yes, but since DLC and downloaded games wont transfer, I would seriously doubt the props and clothing...

The props and such are compatible on Win8 and the Phone, so I'd assume it wouldn't be hard to use on the One as well. Especially with the cloud.

Google it.

A bit going on xbox twitter that the preowned fee isn't happening. But who knows. I'll check in again in November :P

2. Dogs wearing orange dog unatards are AWESOME!!!

Glad someone else thinks VCR besides myself

Crimson, check whats trending on twitter - its no surprise :)

So if someone shouts, "I WANT A DIVORCE!" the Xbox One will red ring?

^

It does look just like a VCR, not over keen on the design.

Yay, a year after release. I have a huge backlog

It was by default a nay, but I was hoping they'd have something to win me over. Alas...

Used game fee = nay, NAY NAY NAY NAY!

"For every BF4 there will be a Jumper." Everyone else can go home, toddycst just won the internet.

Mandatory installs, no backwards compatibility... it just keeps getting better!

I didn't see this..did i fall asleep at the point they mentioned it? lol

They didn't mention it at the event, and I actually haven't seen that posted anywhere. Haven't been looking though.

Well, see you Microsoft and hello Sony.

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/

Uhm, am I misreading this? They clearly ask the question in the article and state "This is something gamers want to know" with no answer.

Granted, I just started skimming, but a ctrl+f for "used" just got me that line and a lot of whining in the comments. :)

Do those pre-owned fees go to the game developers? If so, then I think it's great. If MS keeps the fees then they're no better than second hand game retailers

BTW, good to see you back, rayner!

Here is a discussion on it, http://neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=560478

I haven't seen anything yet or read anything yet, (other than the comments I'm reading on here).. and yeah.. I can tell this is not good. lol

btw good to see you back rayner :)

Calm down about those used game fees: http://aol.it/10MFBzv

Ah, but is that digital selling of games? If so, I still can't do it with my brother because he doesn't have internet. Also, what about shared consoles?

Holy crap! What the hell is this shit! http://kotaku.com/you-will-be-able-to-trade-xbox-one-games-online-micros-509140825

So the activation fee for a new game will be just like buying a new game... but there will be a way to sell your games online? Gamestop is doomed...

And Gamefly. Well, probably not since NO ONE I know wants an Xbox One now. Considering that there is no real games announced for it, and XB1 is doomed.

And yeah, I'm not getting it. I like sharing games with my Bro, so we for sure can't get it. He doesn't have internet, and I don't support anti-consumer practices.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse: http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-does-require-internet-connection-cant-play-o-509164109

And I thought they couldn't screw me and my brother any more than they already have......

What the hell is this shit. Why Microsoft

And its not just a fee as I understand it You pay the full price the marketplace tells you. Not just absurd This is madness

I'm staying with xbox360.

I understand ppl being upset about the used game situation, but can ppl really not understand why this is happening?

I'm not trying to be abrasive or a jerk here, I really wanna know if ppl do not understand this because it's blowing my mind lol.

You can't stop people from buying used. Society and economies are set-up for used sales in every facet of industry. When you take away the people's choice you will fail

Consoles are made for the gamers not for the developers. Microsoft is trying to appease all their developers at the expense of their customers. It's their right but...

I'm not against used games, I'm against devs not getting paid for those used games and 2nd hand retailers pocketing 100% of the profits. I do have a prob with MS

pocketing those used games fees (if they indeed do). If those fees go to the game devs, then I am 100% behind them on this. The online only aspect is pure BS tho.

Gamers need to realize that gaming is a luxury. There will always be price drops that we can wait for. Yet gamers seem to think they need every single AAA game as soon as

it's released. If they want that, then they need to start saving early for it. Games should not be used as a revolving account where gamers don't spend much earned $$$

due to recycling games they've already finished or trading games with friends.

Where does it say no preowned games? I haven't seen that anywhere.

They never announced anything about no pre-owned games or backwards compatibility.

Exactly, they didn't mention anything about backwards com or pre owned, just the cloud

yeah i'm slightly confused where this information is coming from..i just watched it and didnt hear them mention it once?

No pre-owned games would be a nightmare for GAME, Gamestop, Lovefilm, GameFly etc. Do you really think that industry retailers would sit idly by...

and fall like Blockbuster did when Netflix arrived? It would be very surprising to not be backwards compatible and NOT allow used games.

Other than that, none of this info was disclosed at the conference :)

when they first started demonstrating xbox one, im sure the geezer said he was playing forza horizon earlier on it.. that suggest backwards compatible to me.

Yes they did....the head of Microsoft did it in e post conference issues. Confirmed no backwards compat, there is a preowned fee etc.

You think press come from all over the world, for that hour long show? Lol

Pleads of interviews been done already :)

Oh, but it's not always online also.

Interview was with Mark Whitten, head of xbox live. Go watch it.

Yup, post-reveal interviews revealed some of the other info. Games have to be installed, too. Not sure how that'll work with games on Blu-ray discs and only 500 GB HDD...

I didn't expect anything gaming, to see things on the sports titles and even Cod was surprising. Start the new countdown!

confirm the "always on" rumor. Which could make every game susceptible to "server outages". =/

these are the people that expect the iphone to be dedicated to music.

a lot of the services will be tied to the cloud. this is a surprise? doesn't mean it won't play games/dvds/bds without a connection.

^this. I do understand people not liking that those things weren't addressed, but they weren't going to talk about that now.

@Beavis: No doubt, but it also doesn't say that it will either. MS is aware the rumor is going around and didn't say anything. So they are either hiding it or just daft.

exactly. this was an introduction and i think a pretty good one.

@Matrarch: True and it's their show, so they can do what they want. However if they are trying to excite me in to wanting the console this early, they have failed.

dude, they aren't going to devote their intro to debunking rumors. what kind of sales pitch would that be?

Also, I keep saying this, we're not the target audience. Gamers will buy a gaming console. This conference was about attracting new eyes and getting a pop.

They really don't need to show games to prove it plays them. We know it's going to do that.

well, i am just shocked that they didn't go into these dynamic achievements and how they would be affected by server closures.

You're right, there's no reason for them to talk about backwards compatibility, LIVE service improvements or changes, and if the console needs Internet to function...

none of that will be important to a someone buying their first console. I wasn't impressed, you were, great... I'm not trying to convince you to be unimpressed.

Tried saying the same thing...after saying it twenty five times, I have up.

And they made an announcement : http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-doesnt-require-internet-connection

because those are not core features. they talked about 4 or 5 major selling points and left it at that. you leave them wanting more, not bore them to death with details

Matarachie, funny you should say that. I was on my way to the fridge to get get me a cold pop. It appears I missed something. Dayum!

I'm not saying that they shouldn't talk about that stuff, I'm just saying I'm not at all surprised they didn't. I didn't see the show, so I really have no opinion either

way. We will get all this information, I'm just not surprised it wasn't in the context of this conference.

I get where the industry is right now, you know I do, I can't help but know, but from where 'I is' playing my games from right now, I need that core-goodness in my life.

The primary focus was "One" the convienince store of gaming, or the Costco of consoles, whatever you prefer.

It's not about the lack of games it was about the evasive marketing standpoint they took. Xbox LIVE TV with paid subscrition required from your provider, or...

how they flashed by the tech. The new tech is essentially the same as a "low-end" gaming PC. The highlight was EA and MS are now having children together.

did all of those channels they showed require a digital cable subscription? did anyone catch if xbox live will be offering some sort of service?

Gaming consoles have pretty much always had low end gaming PC Tech. It's dedicated hardware, so they can do that.

The backwards compatibility thing being what it is, I'll be waiting on this. Still looking forward to what they bring to E3, though!

When they announced it, the presenter stated that he was: "A Comcast subscriber" and this is what he has for live TV...if that is any indication :)

oh, well that at's a little disappointing.

I liked it. I don't really care about backwards compatibility and I always buy my games new (not necessarily straight away). I think they have a sale with me ;)

Highlights of the show in less than 2 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw

The d-pad has been fixed for a long while with the transforming ones, I think.

Nope, they were terrible, even worse.

I disagree, though I never use the saucer configuration. The raised d-pad made a huge difference.

For fighting games it was utter crap.

And more fragile than original sucky d-pad.

How so? I've had no problem with mine at all.

My Gears 3 Dpad broke, and is malfunctioning, and from a video game store they have several returns of transforming d-pads controllers.

From one friend "I had to return 3 controllers in the first couple of days until I got this one that so far is lasting more than a month."

I'm pretty sure the solution is to just not play fighting games.

^sure

I have to agree with FOKEN, The actuation point is too large and i've had 7 snap whilst playing.

i found the chrome D pads to be the worse of the lot.

I hope every game ends with the number 1 just to mess with weird people like 64 did..

Halo One!!! I predict PS4 leads the next generation due to lack of brand confusion!

Halo the Live Action Television series! ugh.

Developer will be like... "Announcing Gears of Wars ONE! Oh wait, we already made that".

Get ready for third parties to do this too. Assassin's Creed One, The Elder Scrolls One, Final Fantasy One.......oh my god gen 8 is going to suck!

Technically all of you are wrong, none of those games were ever called One when they were made...I used to always have this argument with my bro about Sonic and MK

^

Well MS never were the best in that Reminds me of Win 3.11, Win95 Vista Win7 and so on Now they re making every year console updates starting with ONE

I'm staying with xbox360.

I just want the new Xbox to be faster on XBL and not make a noise like a washing machine whenever I put a disc in (and yes I have a new slim and it's as noisy as ever).

My slim is quiet as a purring cat. Try removing yours from atop your washing machine.

Giant enemy crab?

XD I won't forget that game.

The new Xbox is already outdated as it will not support ULTRA HD TV'S.... unless they add a patch to upconvert.....which is still a fail anyway.

Ultra HD TV's? ... i have no idea what they even are? I like to think i'm generally ontop of technology as well, clearly i'm not. Regardless, seem pointless.

Until ultra he is more commonplace ita wasted resources

in 3-4 years Ultra will outnumber normal HDTV....and the Xbox one will have 5-7 years left.....hence my point.

^this

That's also one of my biggest concerns, the Xbox 360 has the best controller by far, no need to change it.

I loved me dem phat ass beasts

That's what she said!

Just bought a Razer Sabertooth .... cost me 80 Euros ... so I hope they don't change it either!

We will do some co-op soon in Ms. Splosion Man Jessie, let me know when ur free
