According to The Wire though, Microsoft hasn't completely denied there being an anti-used game system in the console (similar to Sony stating there is one but currently deactivated for the PS4).

Edit - According to Phil Harrison, The Wire's report is somewhat true but the fee system might not be as strict and allow multiple users to share the same game disc (either by accounts on a system or by a key limit).

Edit #2 - According to Major Nelson, there is no fee for having others play your game or bringing it over to other people houses as long as your gamertag is logged onto the console your game is being played on.

Request:

I am just getting online now and missed the show. I rather not go through this thread and other media circles - I just need the full show. I wanna watch it unfiltered by opinions already out there. I need to see it for my latest blog update. If you know a link of the full show that would be great. I'm also looking so if I find it first I'll let you guys know.

Reps for effort as well.

My brother and I watched the first 5 minutes and saw the box. Both of us said it was really a throwback to the first Xbox.

Ain't digging Kinect being thrown in and all voice command junk. And along with no backwards compatibility and a chance of a fee for used games, I'll probably hold back on this.

Oh, and has the always on internet rumor been confirmed?

I will hold off to see how this whole thing goes. The good ol' 360 still have life in it. As it stands right now though, i'm leaning towards PS4.

Some interesting news. Gonna go in detail on my blog.

The game sharing went how I thought, more or less how XBLA games are tied to your account. Lending it to a buddy requires him to essentially buy the game to play it. Unless you're signed in to his box at the time, then it simply plays (should be smooth with the cloud thing).

Gamestop should be fairly pissed, though. You can however, trade and sell games digitally, in a process they didn't specify yet. That may be a game changer, but as I said on FB game sharing as we know it is dead on Xbox.

This strikes me as stupid, if he's accurate. I don't think this would be a dealbreaker for me, but I honestly don't like the shit I've been seeing. I think I'm gonna milk my 360 for all it's worth then sink some money into my PC instead of buying this, if all the stuff they're half-saying is what we all think they're saying.

My Xbox is always connecting anyway, but what really has me down on the XB1 is that the majority of the features they showed I could care less about, and the odd way they are handling the used/barrowed game situation is essetially DRM without saying its DRM.

I get that they want their system to be an entertainment hub, but some people just want a plain ol' gaming console. I dont need (or want) Kinect, I dont care about voice or hand prompts, and I sure as hell dont appreciate a console telling me what I can do with the games I buy.

So unless things drastically change between now and launch, i'll probably be keeping my 360 and buying a PS4.

Although XBOX One has mentioned MTV is on it. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Unless the MTV on XBOX is just plain old shit pop videos of today and reality shows.

Still, I'll stick to the 360 and PC then.

A sad trend today is people reaching fairly far to find criticism with Xbox One, even though the issues don't require such effort. In a sense, this is a good sign for Microsoft. People are already ignoring the key issues for petty shit.

Not sure why you'd bother with either, at this point.

I like how one of their major selling points is that power on voice gimmick that they ADVERTISED (this wasn't conjecture or some misquoted blurb, they produced a commercial) but didn't deliver with on Kinect before its launch! [/sarcasm]

Oh, yay. I can supposedly watch NFL games 18 Sundays out the year AND do fantasy football?! But I don't play fantasy football. Spending conference time to ANNOUNCE A TV SHOW? I get it's a cash cow, but its a bit like if Sony took a bit of their PS4 reveal time to talk about their new line of home stereos.

And ultimatly being suspiciously tight lipped about the questions their audience REALLY wants to know the answers for at a conference full of people just talking in corporate buzzspeak. Then having to look that shit up that someone posted online? No, you just had a conference that should have made that legwork unneccessary!

That's why they closed the show with a new CoD. In a nutshell, the conference seemed kinda like this:

"I'm sorry to tell you, the accident left your father badly paralyzed. You'll have to check in on him everyday. You're going to spend a lot monthly for his care and... uh... OOH, LOOKIT THE PUPPY! YOU LIKE THE PUPPY? YES YOU DO! YES YOU DO!"

Some tweets about the stream.

Katy Goodman @KatGoodman7
Whenever he uses Kinect commands my connect listens and turns off the stream. #xboxreveal Go home Kinect, you're drunk.

Jamie Dalton @VGMasterD
@ScottLowe I watched the live stream on my XBOX 360 and my Kinect paused the video every time a presenter said "XBOX ..." which is ironic.

Jason Chen @diskopo
When the guy on the #XboxReveal stream said "Xbox Live" it activated my Kinect and killed the stream. Good thinking guys.

Major Nelson bleated the following:

Quote:
We know there is some confusion around used games on Xbox One and wanted to provide a bit of clarification on exactly what we’ve confirmed today. While there have been many potential scenarios discussed, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail.

Beyond that, we have not confirmed any specific scenarios.

Another piece of clarification around playing games at a friend’s house – should you choose to play your game at your friend’s house, there is no fee to play that game while you are signed in to your profile.
While Phil Harrison used the following word vomit:

Quote:
"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."

"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.

"Let’s assume it’s a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.

But that doesn't mean used games are dead. In fact, Harrison told us, you'll be able to sell your Xbox One games online.

"We will have a solution—we’re not talking about it today—for you to be able to trade your previously-played games online," Harrison said.
That's some sexy missed messaging.

EDIT: Mr. Harrison is still clarifying his nonsense.


Quote:
"We will have a system where you can take that digital content and trade a previously played game at a retail store," Harrison said. "We're not announcing the details of that today, but we will have announced in due course."
So it's not anti-used games, just a system to make sure MS/publishers get their cut and also destroy lending friends your games.

At least Kinect sounds massively improved:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/0...er-and-kinect/

Quote:
From there it was on to a demonstration of the new Xbox One Kinect sensor. From the moment we entered the demo room, it was clear how much the new sensor improved on the depth sensing resolution of the old Kinect, just from viewing a live, greyscale 3D model of a couch sitting about seven feet from the sensor (a representative said it was about three times the fidelity of the old Kinect). When a volunteer got up in front of the couch, I could easily make out details, from the ripple of his shirt as it fell on his chest to the individual fingers as he rotated his wrists.

The new Kinect doesn't have the motor that the old unit used to make sure it was pointed perfectly at the room in front of it. Instead, the unmoving slab simply has a much wider field of view that captures substantially more of the room when placed on a level surface. A six-foot tall volunteer was completely visible to the sensor while standing only three or so feet away, based on my rough eyeballing of distances.

The demo then switched to a 1080p live color feed of the room, which was unimpressive on its own to anyone with a decent webcam. What was more impressive was the Active Infrared feed, which showed a night-vision style greyscale view of the room at high resolution, even when the room was pitch black (or only lit by a flashlight). This should help for things like computer vision algorithms, which have previously needed extremely bright and consistent lighting conditions to detect certain details in the flat images provided by the Kinect's RGB camera (and yes, the depth-sensing works in the dark as well).

After a quick demo of how the new Kinect's four-microphone array can filter out distracting sounds from a TV speaker, I jumped in front of the camera to test how the new Kinect's improved skeletal tracking worked. The first thing I noticed was a complete absence of the kind of lag and jumpiness that so often characterized avatars on the original Kinect. The second thing I noticed was the way the on-screen skeleton could detect even small motions like a rotating wrist or a shrugging shoulder.

When the avatar in the demo changed from a skeleton to a thicker person made of blocks, it showed how the new Kinect could easily detect which direction I was looking as I tilted my head at the neck. It can also measure the amount of force being put on either side of the body, Wii Balance Board style, and project the force of a punch or a kick based on the speed of the fist behind it.

The creepiest part of the Kinect demo was when the system used a combination of the RGB and IR cameras to detect my pulse rate just by looking at my face. Not only that, but the system could tell when I was smiling and/or looking away from the screen and tell which of two controllers I was holding, even as I handed one off to the demonstrator (a process the PR rep said worked by "magic").

It's still hard to say whether the new Kinect is truly responsive and high-resolution enough to fulfill the promise of controller-free, motion-based games. Still, the improvements to the raw specs, combined with the fact that literally every Xbox One owner will have a Kinect right out of the box, have us tentatively excited about the potential that developers will be able to squeeze from it.

They could actually be in the 1.6 million people in Japan who bought a 360, you know. Which as it stands, is somehow still more than the PS Vita lifetime sales in Japan.

Any thoughts on what it could be? I'm hoping for Banjo, PD or KI but I'd not be upset if we got a new Conker.
I sort of think it'll be something really retro. Sabrewulf or something. Battletoads?
