[Lisnpuppy]

Microsoft has compiled a fact sheet detailing all the important information you need to know if you didn’t watch the XBOX ONE announcement Live Stream earlier. Ripped from Microsofts own Website. Also, as I'm relatively new, how do I do a Spolier Drop Menu to aviod clutter?

THE HARDWARE

Xbox One was designed from the ground up to be the centerpiece of every living room with modern hardware, and it features the all-new Kinect, the new Xbox One Wireless Controller, a 500GB hard drive, an eight-core, x86 processor, wireless networking connectivity, HDMI, three super-speed USB 3.0 ports, and a high-speed Blu-ray disc player. Features include the following:

 

Xbox One Console – Designed with the 21st century living room in mind, the Xbox One console features a premium design with a gloss black finish, horizontal orientation and a slot-loading Blu-ray disc player.

 

Updated wireless controller – Enhanced with more than 40 technical and design innovations, the new impulse triggers offer precise haptic fingertip feedback and a newly engineered D-pad delivers greater responsiveness and control. An infrared LED on the front of the controller allows Kinect to automatically recognize you, making it easier to pick up and play.

 

Redesigned Kinect – It includes a 1080p, HD camera that captures video at 30 frames per second. All- new, active-infrared capabilities increase precision, allowing it to work in nearly any lighting condition and expanding field of view to accommodate a greater variety of room sizes. Microsoft proprietary Time-of-Flight technology measures the time it takes individual photons to rebound off you to create unprecedented accuracy and precision. The new noise-isolating multimicrophone array filters ambient sounds to recognize natural speaking voices even in crowded rooms.

 

GAMING ON XBOX ONE

Gaming on Xbox One immerses you in bigger, more cinematic worlds that look and feel more lifelike, featuring more believable characters and richer stories. Game worlds come alive through the unlimited processing power of Xbox One and the cloud. Features include the following:

 

Smart Match – Estimates wait times for multiplayer gaming and lets you enjoy other Xbox One activities including live TV, Skype or sports experiences while waiting for a new game to begin. On Xbox One, your Xbox Live reputation fundamentally matters and helps you find the best match based on skill, game style and language for a deeper online multiplayer gaming challenge.

 

Expanded achievements – Allows for new achievements powered by the cloud and offers more ways to earn, more frequent updates and the ability to share wins with friends. An expanded achievements system captures videos of gameplay and continues to grow achievements over time, and Gamerscores carry over from Xbox 360.

 

Living Games – Leverages the power of the cloud so games can evolve and learn from actual players, letting you play against your friends’ shadow. Dynamic, living worlds evolve and improve the more you play, and games stay in sync with what’s happening today — real-world events can be instantly added to games, and the latest stats can be automatically added to sports titles.

 

Game DVR – Captures and saves in-game highlights and epic moments to the cloud. Use editing and sharing tools to post game footage to your Xbox Live profile and social networks.

Oh my god, that screams public relations, or as i called it propaganda. No mention what so ever of the otherside of the Xbox One. So allow me to list them for you guys. I don't quite get how corporations can keep doing this and not expect some sort of people outcry, It's like they don't care, even though the public is the only reason these companys don't end up dead and in the gutter. It doesn't make sense for someone to do this. Or as Franklin D. Roosevelt said. "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." So, is it a safe bet that the Game Industry is the same way. Because for me, it makes sense that there's to many people in the industry, to screw up all at the same time.

 

CONFIRMED:
-24 hour DRM: Meaning if you don't login in twenty four hours, you're locked out of your own system.
-1 hour DRM if you bring your game to a friends house: Meaning if you don't pay the fee in one hour your locked out of the game.
-Mandatory Kinect: That also never really turns off because it requires a voice command to turn on even though it's off.
-No renting, no loaning. No private sales: Unless selling to someone who has been on your friends list for thirty days.
-Broadband Internet connection required: Goodbye rural people.
-Trade-ins are up to the publisher and only at participating retailers: Yeah, what publisher is going to do that, they're the ones who want this stuff.
-You can give a game to a friend only if they have been on your friends list for thirty days: Here's the catch though, you can only do it once.
-Up to ten family members can play your games from any console at any time you & one other at a time: Except you can already do that now which the proper hardware and software. Also, where is the guarantee that majority of publishers won’t restrict me from letting my friend borrow a game or letting me sell the game if it sucks. What if live servers or down or get hacked, like the PSN did and Xbox Live.

 

@jim_uk: It wouldn't suprise me, i heard both Activision and EA are both owned by Vividia. So any competition between them is a false dichotomy. But don't quote me on this, as I've not checked, and I've been wrong before. With all I've listed, I'm begining to wonder too, considering how bad this has been for them. And a company as large as Microsoft, this had, to be a conscious choice, the real question is why if they knew this would happen.

Amazon poll suggests, Xbot1 is tanking bad.

:teehee:

And yes we watched and lool'ed at the xbox one conference. Except fro that Metal gear solid trailer. Even though its not a xbox 1 exclusive makes me wonder why they showed it there, maybe Kojima felt sorry for MS.

Or Sony didn't have the time to cover everything in that time frame.
