Xbox One was reportedly shipped to about 150 lucky users before the official release date. These 150 users managed to get their hands on an Xbox One but wont be able to utilize its online functions until the official release date. They will be temporarily banned to restrict them from accessing the Live features of Xbox One.
Another set of videos were posted on YouTube of one such lucky user, who got his Xbox One early. He shows us the setup, dashboard, boot animation along with his (temporary) console banned message in these videos.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Inb4 copyright strike :p. Hot damn that suspend/resume is damn fast & awesome :)
Sucks that MS does this to paying consumers who are not at fault, but this video sucks. I think we are going to see many of these and people trying to get free stuff like @Moonlightswami did.
When he turned the X1 on I and went through the steps I didn't see him accepting any TOS before he was banned.
It sucks though as if he got his system early he likely has games for it as well. All of which can not be used because his system is banned even before the day one update. So his X1 can't do sh*t
Edit: I want to see people using it out in the wild and not in a controlled environment that the media uses. Same goes with the PS4 as well.
didn't people win early ps4's from contests , where are those video's?????
must have made them sign nondisclosure agreements .
what is sony hiding ?
answer is probably nothing , they just want to control the message just like ms .
yeah his cosole is banned to connect online but atleast he can playoffline and can have good time playing single player games and yeah he will be one of the first to play xbox one exclusive what the F**k man i also want one .
