Malek Teffaha of Tech-Ticker, "The new generation is here. Wii U Vs Xbox One Vs PS4. The most recently revealed, was of course Microsoft’s Xbox One. Among the reactions from both the press and the consumers, there has been a mix of both good and bad. Those who adored the new focus on entertainment as a whole versus those who shrugged it off for the lower importance and focus on gaming. No used-games without re-paying the original price, confusion around having to login every 24 hours, mandatory Kinect connection among many others mark a portion of the problems users have been complaining about. An opinion piece is coming up soon enough.
I have a question about the Kinect though, one I have yet to see anyone address. Of course, setting aside the worry of an always-on and always listening device, what if it got busted? Will I be unable to use my Xbox One until I acquire a new functional peripheral?"
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.
Good question, if your planning on buying Xbox One that is
If that happens, then you have got yourself a busted ass console!
Piece of sh1t, I know.
Good point! Just another reason to pass on the XB1.
What happens if your controller breaks? Do you trip balls?
The console is already busted, a broke Kinect would actually improve it. Buy a ps4 and save yourself the pain.
