Hey Prcko you're the top dog now! Congrats. bub+1 for being awesome.

my fav moment so far

Geoff: What does MS need to have at this event to make it really special

Ex-MS crony: Halo

Geoff: Another Halo? (you actually saw him frown)

heh

(it's moments like these that make watching boring press events so worth it. :D)

But where are the games??

Microsoft - "We at Xbox LOVE gaming.......... now let's watch TV."

thechosenone4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

MS stuck in the 90s? This would have been cool a number of years ago but today everyone is moving away from the traditional content distribution model and having it being centralized in just one place.

What about the hardware? Where's the info on how beefy it is compared to PS4? heh

Gazondaily4018d ago

15 exclusive ips. Wow very good. Lets hope they are core titles.

Gazondaily4018d ago

Lol the new COD looks so mediocre. Battlefield 3 on PC destroys it visually and technically.

thechosenone4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

That was lame so incredibly lame. :D Without question PS4 > Xbox -1. PS4 is a much more attractive product for gamers but if TV & Movies is your thing then I suggest you go with the Xbox.

(and COD looks current gen! lulz But don't worry it'll have the same old laggy gameplay and poor hit-detection just like always. COD DOA next-gen, Killzone, Destiny, BF4 all day).

@Septic from the 15, 8 are new IPs but they didn't say how many of those were kinect titles.

Computersaysno4018d ago

Xbox 1 came out 12 years ago didn't it?

Doh!!!!!!!!!!

malokevi4018d ago

They spent half the show talking about sports, sports games, fantasy teams, and interviews with sports stars...

I DONT CARE EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

All I wanted to see was some impressive software... I saw NOTHING.

No demonstration of Kinect integrated into games. Nothing really cool... at all.

The TV thing is awesome, the social capabilities, but... that was supposed to be the gravy. Wheres the potatoes? WHERES THE GAMES?

I'm sort of dissapointed right now. Console looks beutiful, funtionality is awesome, but... I didn't see what I wanted to see.

At least the PS4 conference had tech demos, trailers, in-game footage, and that cool modeling app with the Move.

Microsofts focus is BS. If they don't demonstrate some serious stuff at E3 next month, i will be considering PS4 as my primary gaming console.

Which is sad news to me...

Anon19744018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

That was god awful. What was that? 50 minutes of how the Xbox is now a cable box? I see that Sony stock surged up almost 10% in a matter of minutes to a high not seen in a year and a half about mid way through this train wreck.

But onto the event. It seems always on, always watching, showed no games (just cgi trailers) and the entire focus was on how the Xbox was your new cable box. Seriously, we should take this whole Xbox reveal thread and move it over to TechSpy because it had almost nothing to do with games, which I believe is supposed to be the focus of this site.

The original Xbox was my favourite console of it's gen (sorry PS2). The 360 was alright. I was already planning on waiting with the Xbox One just because of hardware issues I suffered through with the 360, but now I think I'll pass. There just seems to be no reason a gamer would actually buy one of these based on that reveal.

Microsoft have lost their collective minds, in my opinion. It's like they have no clue who took the Xbox to the heights it achieved. It was a big middle finger to all Xbox fans.

loulou4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

darkride your talking out of your arse, and no doubt that stock thread yours that got failed.

the tv stuff was great no doubt. the rapid moving between services was good aswell. and the kinect/skype will be great for using when i speak to my family in the UK.

the console looks like a no nonsense console (looks wise) with a hint of blu-ray player and set-top box.... which it is. buy the looks you can see that microsoft are trying to appeal to a broader market. which i think is going to work in their favour.

i still want to see what they show at e3.. but with the talk of the cheque book being flashed, and 15 exclusives within 12 months of launch, they are up for it.

i think that they are going to give sony an even tougher fight next-gen..

ps4 and xbox1 are both day 1 for me now.

DragonKnight4018d ago

People though Microsoft would reveal a next gen gaming console. What we all got was an "entertainment" box that does sports and voice commands really well but...

SilentNegotiator4018d ago

YES! HALO!

....television series.

*HURK*

MysticStrummer4018d ago

Hear that sound? It's Sony laughing.

MS could still redeem themselves at E3, but this reveal might have actually helped PS4 buzz.

gta28004018d ago

If Comcast made a new cable box that happened to have some gaming capability it would be the Xbox One!

DARK WITNESS4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

Wow...

and they had the nerve to take the piss out of sony for not showing hardware, what a joke.

MS could not have got this more wrong.. yet again.

There are loads of people in my office that have 360 for casual gaming, None of them stayed behind to watch this crap. The 4 of us who did were all waiting for them to show games...

The only smart thing they did was not change the controller and make sure the casing was so big there is no chance of it RROD'ing

I can now safely say i am pre-ordering my ps4

nix4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

feels surreal.

i mean how can MS screw this up? after Sony's show everyone wanted to hear about games on xbox. games. but noh. i wonder which idiots are running this show?

they probably went back to xbox one bcoz ipad also went back to 1 or a zero, in their case.

funniest part is Sony's stock going up midway. i mean talk about irony there.

i can't wait to read the memes now.

I found it kinda hard to stay awake during the whole thing. Was kinda boring. And that new COD game doesn't excite me about COD again.

Sports games and COD...typical. At least xbox knows it's own audience. I'm still not interested...

MYSTERIO3604018d ago

It seems MS are competing with the cable box market. Good luck

ZombieKiller4018d ago

they strayed even further from games and brought the thing I hate the most to it.....sports. First off, I work in the cellular industry and the smart phones nowadays, do what this Xbox one does. I can't stand the sports takeover. its a gaming console. as if we didn't have TV already. they showed 3 games, on of which was call of doody....

despite having a 360, I'm not getting this one. it looks like its just going to be another money grubbing decade for MS. This time looks to be with things I dont want too.

It sounds like the titles to these consoles are really the scoreboard to how many generations of consoles I will ever buy from the companies. playstation=4 xbox=1

Rhaigun4017d ago

The only place you heard that was from reading your comment out loud before posting.

Imalwaysright4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

I didn't watch the conference but judging by the comments here it seems that MS will be following the same strategy they had with the 360 in the past 3 years and to me that is a no no. They better have new core Ips at E3 or else as far as gaming is concerned the Xbox and MS are dead to me.

aceitman4017d ago

my question is who is the people that clap at any and everything.

RE4PER-DE4TH4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

The reveal did exactly what it was supposed to and it showed a lot about their plan to have a solid living room solution. It doesn't mean that it's not a games console, it's just like the guy said about having to switch inputs to get to other content. So now instead of a media center pc, a Roku device, a cable box, and a wifi router to network all that now it's integrated into one machine. That doesn't spell the doom of Xbox being a games console! The console still comes with a controller, not a remote like for your TV. They know gamers want games and they know living rooms are the center for entertainment.

Question to all the PS fanboys: when PS2 came with DVD playback did that stop it from being a games console? Did it take away the focus of PS2 gamers playing their games? No, a gamer will play his or her games first and foremost before they look at the other capabilities of a console.

You can fix the bubble system by changing it so that new accounts start off with only 1 bubble. That way the people who want to act like asshats only to create a new account for more bubbles will have no recourse. Want more bubbles...then I guess you will have to earn them and behave appropriately.

Neither of us can change that, srry dude...We do try to watch new accounts though and it does yield results.

Microsoft to Add Copilot AI to Video Games

Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.

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.

MrDead5h ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan4h ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl5h ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

Activision team is opening a new game studio in Poland 'Elsewhere Entertainment' to build new AAA IP

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.

Microsoft's quest for short-term $$$ is doing long-term damage to Windows, Surface, Xbox, and beyond

Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.

Brazz6d ago

"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.

An Xbox game on a Playstation. Never in my years of gaming did i ever thought this was gonna happen.

jznrpg5d ago

It is dying anyway so doesn’t make much of a difference

VersusDMC5d ago

No way can they get rid of the hardware as probably 90% of game pass subscribers are hardware users.

Highly doubtful those users will move to PC or Cloud to subscribe there and the competition (Sony and Nin) will never have gamepass on their system.

If they want to keep the current subscribers, they need to keep releasing new hardware.

PSPSA5d ago

I'm not convinced, why then announce that they're actually working on the next-generation Xbox with “the largest technical leap”, and also looking into handhelds now?

Rols5d ago

Not like MS don’t drop things a hot potato if it is not performing. Look at MS history to see products or platforms discontinued. Xbox is not a charity for MS, it needs to make money and the ABK was the last roll of the dice for Xbox.

purple1015d ago

Xbox hardware team members have been incorporated into surface team

This perhaps shows they are not expecting big things from Xbox as a separate entity

Abear215d ago

Seems like they are planning to win next gen. All the acquisitions were this generation and nobody except Xbox fans expect games from the acquisitions any time soon.

I’m sure Microsoft can afford to lose money on the short term, pretty sure they do risk assessment when acquiring many companies and spending billions, they’ll be fine lol.

i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.

but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

S2Killinit5d ago

They wont kill it, but they will go fully PC while keeping xbox as a brand, and go multiplatform for the most part. They will also work tirelessly to diminish console gaming’s importance.

PRIMORDUS5d ago

It would be best if Xbox goes the way of Sega, just make and publish games. I know I myself will not support them at all with buying games from them, you all can. 🙃

ChasterMies5d ago

The Xbox brand will live for the games. I don’t expect Microsoft to entirely drop out of gaming hardware. They make Surface tablets and laptops. They’ll make Xbox branded hardware for those that want it.

"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"

Forza and Starfield next?

Skuletor5d ago

Starfield would be no surprise and there's the rumor that it will come to Playstation after the Shattered Space DLC, Forza (along with Halo and Gears of War) I find less likely but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually end up on PlayStation too, especially if Xbox give up on hardware and go the Sega route.

shinoff21835d ago

Not to worried about forza. I'd rather see others like what inxile and obsidian are working on. Starfield sounds like it needs more time in the oven so let it cook first imo. If starfield and it's a small if does release on ps it'll be in the fall around the time for dlc or right at the dlc and come packaged with it.
