Any one gonna watch? It starts in about an hour and 15. Predictions? I predict NO always online, HEAVY kinect 2 promotion, and forza 5, maybe even a price and release window. And we will see the console and controller. And a blue ray!

I predict that I will have zero interest in any gaming systems from here out, until they can figure out a way to have sensory-input-augmented virtual reality. And accompanying interactive porn. :-)
Always cool to see the next generation of gaming but I sold my xbox a couple months ago. Haven't missed it since.
Almost forgot about this, do you know a good site that'll stream it?
Just get a:Quote:

I heard a dirty rumor that the new console won't allow you to play used games. I have zero interest if this is true.
This. Also the rumor of HAVING to install games to play. I have AT LEAST a terabyte of 360 games, how will they do that?Quote:

Xbox One is the name.
I've always flip flopped between console and PC gaming. One thing I like about the xbox is it seriously takes effort to cheat. You can't really run additional things. I know you can mod controllers and do things like that but cheating is cut way down.. where on PC games it is very common place (hell I've done it for fun).
I'll end up getting a new xbox when it's released I'm sure, maybe I'll give my current one away depending on backwards compatibility.
I'll continue to run both rigs till one truely is better than the other.
XBOX ONE? WTF kind of name.
I played a lot of Nintendo, some genesis, then switched to full on PC games growing up. Quake I/II Doom 1-3 team fortress etc. then the next gen consoles came like PS2, Xbox, ps3, and gaming steadily has gone to shit.
By putting so many gaming devices in the households of kids who didn't know any better, the market has become so diluted with shittily made games that there's no reason for the massive companies these days to put out any quality besides the once-every-five graphics eye candy titles. What EA in particular has done has bought out the developers who used to make games for fun, then they point the legal cannons in any way they can at the competition who tries to make something for themselves. I hate consoles for this reason and the kids who play them.
I can't wait to spend an extra $60 a year in order to use the Internet in my Internet ready gaming station! Pay an extra $60 a year to watch my $8 a month Netflix? Fuck yes! Pay an extra $60 a year to play online with my friends? Fuck yes! Pay an extra $60 a month to get all achievements on a game? Fuck yes![hahhah-no]
I'll stick with my Playstation...and wait for the second generation of the console [Coffee]
Not true. Consoles are becoming just as easy to cheat on as PC games. Actually, with moderated servers and the like, cheating on PC is becoming less common. Consoles, however, it's almost every other game on the FPS genre. Since you can't even vote kick people out of games, forget it.Quote:

That said, it's much cheaper to get a console than a gaming PC which won't run games in 2 years. I love my PC and would really like to get a new one to play new games, but I just can't afford it.
The idea is that it is your one-stop for entertainment etc. I agree, dumb name since everyone calls the original Xbox the Xbox 1, but *shrug*Quote:

I still haven't forgiven EA for spending all their time going after competition with their lawyers instead of using them for good- Like getting a non-shit MLB game released instead of letting 2K (aka 2Krappy, Take-Two Interactive) sports get the MLB license- last good baseball game I played was MVP Baseball 2005 (the one with ManRam on the cover), and it was for the original Xbox... Tried the MLB 2K series and I almost wanted to club a baby seal it was so awful. /rant. EA can suck it.Quote:

Halo is running the risk of ending up like Final Fantasy- AKA- Another dead horse for the gaming world. Seriously, there must be 20+ FF games out there (although they call the latest 13, there are many more than that). I get it, Halo is popular, the concept is fantastic, but seriously, go too far and you run the risk of losing originality- I hope the next gen does it right and keeps it fresh... They could learn from one of my favorite series, the Elder Scrolls, they're gearing up for ES-Online, and I hope that they make a 6th game in the series, the mod community for Morrowind (the 3rd game in the series) is still going strong after 11 years. That's doing it right.
Playstation has THE best MLB game. MLB: The Show? I think thats the name. Freakin amazing.Quote:

I did really like FF VI for the SNES. The storyline, soundtrack, art - all of it came together beautifully. I still like playing it every once in a while - it's entertaining more than a decade later. :-)
Agreed. FF7 only made sense with all the extra crap they put out to explain it. Part of it is bad translation and rushed port to America, but still. FF8 was annoying, FF9 was really good, but frustrating.Quote:

How do you guys have time for video games? Does anyone have wives/kids/girlfriends?
Nope. Some of us are smartQuote:

Off topic bullshit aside, this console will be amazing. Not just for game players but for entertainment as a whole. The transition from TV to music to games to web browsing and to social media was SO fast and seamless Looks like the gaming industry will once again be driving technology as a whole. People bitch about gaming but don't realize that our current technology would be at least 10 years behind if it wasn't for the gaming industry driving it. Before you try to act cool by saying that you wish technology was 10 years behind don't forget what we used to pay for inferior technology as well. I'm excited for the new console and the advancement it will usher in for future technologies.
i just wish it wouldnt be so damn online dependent its going to kill me out here on the plains

this is the fastest ive ever seen it :(
My understanding is the online thing is a big feature indeed, but may not be *required* per say. It sounds like it's more or less up to the individual developers whether they require it or not (so, I'm guessing Ubisoft will have online everything, even first-person-only games, as a sort of DRM scheme ><).
As to the console itself, I'm hopeful. Seems rather gimmicky, but advances in technology are always cool (see all the neat stuff people are doing with the Kinect apart from gaming).
Lack of backwards compatibility sucks :/
At least your Ping is decent LOLQuote:

I think the Halo franchise has been dead since Reach. Looking forward to Bungie's Destiny. If this game is every bit as good as H1-2, buh bye Halo. 343 can suck it.Quote:
