Microsoft Prattle v2

It seems like they're trying to lull you into it with that. Sure, you get enough stars early, but will there always be enough? Or by the end are you going to have to decide which stages you want? The fact that you don't just get it for finishing the past level reeks of plans to sell you the stars.

So, is anyone else here getting Monaco?

 

[bps21]

It's gotten very good reviews...but when I look at it I can't figure out what it is

 

[Broward83]

Picked up Monaco, pretty fun. You can blow thru a stage pretty quick if you know what you're doing, but trying to clean out a stage can take a while...which you have to do to unlock bonus maps.

Anyone watching the XBox One reveal?

So far, all they have shown is voice control in its various forms for TV, XBox Live and Skype.

 

[bps21]

I had 48 minutes in the how long until they talk about games pool.

 

[HSJ]

So far, the XBox One is just a voice activated remote control for your TV.

 

[Sabre]

Reminds me of the phat PS3...

 

[The Amazing Rando]

I'm watching on my 360, and every time one of those assholes said "Kincet", my Kinect turned on. I had to unplug it.

It seems like setting this thing up day one is going to be a fucking pain because it has to know your voice. Also, you have to seemingly plug everything into this thing so that it knows what to switch to when you are yelling at it.

 

[bps21]

I'm pretty sure one of these guys snuck in the words always online earlier.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

Oh good, that's what my gameplay needs... a recorder.

"Guys, guys, watch how awesome I yelled "Fuck" right here before my head exploded!"

 

[The Amazing Rando]

Hey, EA Sports, fuck your damn sound effects.

 

[bps21]

Somewhere between Sony not even showing their console and Microsoft spending half an hour explaining what every chip does lay the perfect amount of time to talk about your console.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

buzzword, buzzword, buzzword, and our games are totally buzzword and inspired by buzzword and buzzword.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

Way to go EA, you showed us literally nothing about how your new games play or even really look. Fantastic.

 

[bps21]

The current xbox can already play these trailers

 

[bps21]

Hey it's the teacher jeff winger was banging.

Why can't they just let remedy make a new Alan wake

 

[The Amazing Rando]

THE HELL WAS THAT?!

 

[bps21]

Nancy Tellem is the best possible name for a presenter.

 

[HSJ]

What was that game they just showed? They showed about 3 seconds of game play?

 

[bps21]

Sme weird game from the people that made Alan Wake that wasnt Alan Wake 2 so meh

 

[bps21]

SWERVE you thought they were bringing out the halo people to talk about a game.

 

[bps21]

It's hilarious that they literally said they'd have 15 exclusives dropping in year one...8 being new franchises...and then just figured no one wanted to hear about them I guess.

 

[HSJ]

15 NEW EXCLUSIVES....8 NEW FRANCHISES....SOME OF WHICH INCLUDE

Call of Duty
Madden
Fifa
UFC
NBA
Forza

 

[bps21]

My prediction from the Sony reveal was dead on

What they [sony] did that was smart was focus completely on games since Microsoft has a hard on for pushing itself as multimedia nonsense when at the end of the day no one cares. I mean...sure we all use netflix...but that takes two seconds to tell me...not 10 minutes to tell me how I can use it with a camera I never plug in.

 

[The Amazing Rando]

"It should feel like you are really in this amazing world....sitting on a sofa holding a controller"

 

[Smues]

Highlight by far was the dog. Dog in a motion capture suit FTW.

 

[bps21]

So the idea was hold off games until e3 so people have to talk about them since they can't talk about them now lol

Specs via Joystiq:

The Xbox One will include a Blu-ray drive as well as a 500 GB hard drive, Microsoft's Mark Whitten revealed at today's next-gen Xbox reveal event. The system will feature 8 GB of system memory, USB 3.0 ports, an 8-core CPU, 64-bit architecture, built-in Wi-Fi and HDMI in/out ports. Whitten also noted that the Xbox One's architecture uses three operating systems.

Smart of them to go with the 8GB of ram. Hopefully they were very smart and went with GDDR5 ram like the PS4 did, though.

I was really just waiting on hearing about the exclusives before deciding if I would buy both this and a PS4.. and it's literally nothing I would ever want. So, only Sony it is.
