Xbox One Announcement

[Adam]

From what I can tell yeah they won't work altogether. But you don't have to get rid of the 360 - You can keep both until you decide to switch fully over I suppose. But it is something that was going to be expected because it is about time to move away from the PowerPC in the game consoles which is why both Microsoft and Sony have done it this time round.



I would have said the same If I was management or not management.

Just because you disagree with my complaints does not give you to right to define me as an idiot, thanks.

Kinect 2 is infinitely better than the original Kinect

Fifa isn't exclusive. Ultimate Team has some stuff which is exclusive

HDMI In, meaning you can for instance, plug your sky hd box into your xbox and watch tv via the xbox, thus justifying the One, it is a device for everything.

This was an event for the press, thus everything shown, was primarily for the press, everything else will be held of for the slightly more gamer oriented E3.

On the topic of no used games. Yes you can play used games, yes you do have to pay a fee, BUT only to play them off the hard drive without a disc, you can play them with the disc fine. The fee? Nobody knows, it could be a flat £5, £10 or £30, nobody knows.

Emulators work pretty fine on the PC, no? Of course they won't run natively, there's ways around it and again we're back to customer satisfaction, aren't we?

But keep dodging my arguments, funny.

Because it would be a massive waste of time getting original games to work with the new architecture. Even if they did do it, the experience would probably be crap as well.

I'm not saying there would be a pracitcal solution I'm saying that integrating it would be a customer pleasing feature.

Another hilarious update:

I prefer the physical versions of anything (I still buy CD's) but I, personally, wouldn't be opposed to having one digital marketplace if the price points were fair (they're not at the minute, just check Games on Demand) however there's a massive market for used games and if I want to buy an old game I'll generally go for a used physical copy of the game from eBay or cex or whatever and there's no digital marketplace for that.

I've calmed down a bit now, they enraged me. They have E3 to turn me around and again, like with this conference, I hope to God they do.

It takes a lot of power to do software emulation and the Xbox One nor PS4 would be able to do this with 360 & PS3 games respectively. M$ would have probably shoved a chip in it if there wasn't a Kinect bundled.

Either way looks like rumours are correct when it comes to Kinect needing to be connected. One thing I really dislike about this is that if it breaks you'd have to fork about near £100 (probably) to get a new one. That and the fee for used games are easily my biggest turns offs which will probably mean I never bother getting this.

Also I imagine the fee for used games will be at the publishers discretion above a minimum price. I wonder how much M$ will get from it...

No fee, it's practically how used games work now. You can play a game on one console and if you sell it, you can no longer play it. The new owner can play it.

No costs involved.

Disregard my point on used games in my post up above. I was misinformed.

Xbox Live accounts compatible across Xbox One and 360, users on both can communicate

The "new generation" of Xbox Live will be compatible with both Xbox 360 and Xbox One and allow users to communicate with each other across consoles.

Microsoft's president of Interactive Entertainment Business, Don Mattrick, confirmed to Polygon players will be able to chat and communicate across the generational barrier between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The integrated Xbox Live service will also allow players to use a single account across multiple systems.

"And because it's all one service, your Xbox Live Gold membership will work on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One," the Xbox website explains.
