I'm looking forward to what they could potentially do with Kinect this gen, really. Could be a potential waste, but if that is the case, I still have one badass high tech camera with quite a few uses after custom firmware upgrades.

I don't get the harsh criticism of the Kinect, it has issues just like any new tech does, but when (and if I suppose) devs play with it more, it has the potential to add quite a bit of depth to gaming, much like a "2nd screen" experience some games are incorporating (ex. Watch Dogs).

They got scared by it always being on plus it not being a cheaper option from the start to not have it. Don't really want people to hear what is going on around the living room when playing an online game.

Only good thing I've experienced from Kinect is Nike Fitness. Hope DDP yoga can make something for it.

Ultimately fans see it as a gimmick.

Always on isn't really an issue. You can mute the Kinect mic anytime you wish and leave it as such permanently and you can also have it plugged in, but have the video disabled (or if you are really worried, put a random object in front of the lens/turn it around ). Unless you wear a tin foil hat and have piss poor networking security, there really is nothing to worry about.

And Xbox Fitness, all the routines, as well as Kinect Adventures, make for a great workout if you actually committ. Drunk Dance Central makes for fun times too

Free games with Games with Gold**. Since Games with Gold launched on Xbox 360 a year ago, over 12 million people have enjoyed great free games, resulting in nearly 200 million hours of free fun playing Games with Gold titles. We’ve been learning from your feedback and have focused on making improvements each month to the selection of titles. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Games with Gold for Xbox 360 and as a thank you for helping shape this program, members will receive an additional free Xbox 360 game in June. The Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 in June are “Dark Souls,” “Charlie Murder” and a bonus game of “Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.” We’re pleased to bring Games with Gold to Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One in June. Members will have subscription-based access to free games ranging from top hits to breaking indie stars. The program will launch on Xbox One with “Max: The Curse of Brotherhood” and “Halo: Spartan Assault.” A single Gold membership will get you access to the free games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Exclusive Discounts. Deals with Gold will also launch for Xbox One in June, delivering discounts for great games each month, with significant savings for Xbox Live Gold members. The first titles offered in June will include “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Ryse: Son of Rome,” and a few other surprises. In the coming months, we will offer significant savings of up to 50 – 75 percent off certain titles. This program will continue to be available for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360. And new on Xbox One, we will launch a virtual VIP room exclusive to Xbox Live Gold members where we will feature free games, monthly deals, and other great benefits.

Popular entertainment apps will be available for all Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners. Xbox 360 has been a leader in delivering entertainment experiences for years, with over 170 global entertainment apps and experiences available today. We’re constantly adding new partners and experiences to the growing catalog on Xbox One. Coming in June, anyone with an Xbox will be able to access popular entertainment experiences – whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership. This includes great gaming apps like Machinima, Twitch and Upload, popular video services like Netflix, Univision Deportes, GoPro, Red Bull TV and HBO GO, sports experiences like the NFL app for Xbox One, MLB.TV, NBA Game Time, NHL Game Center and more.*** Microsoft experiences including Internet Explorer, Skype, OneDrive and OneGuide will also be available to all Xbox customers.**** You can find a full list of apps and features that will be available below.

We’ve heard that you want more choices from Xbox One. You want a wide variety of options in your games and entertainment experiences and you also want options in your hardware selection.

To be clear, as we introduce this new Xbox One console option, Kinect remains an important part of our vision. Many of you are using Kinect for Xbox One every day. In fact, more than 80 percent of you are actively using Kinect, with an average of 120 voice commands per month on each console. Some of the most popular voice commands include “Xbox On,” “Xbox Broadcast” and “Xbox Record That.” We will continue to offer a premium Xbox One with Kinect bundle to deliver voice and gesture controls, biometric sign-in, instant personalization, instant scanning of QR codes, and enhanced features only available with Kinect in games such as “Kinect Sports Rivals,” “Just Dance 2014,” “Project Spark” and more.

If you buy Xbox One for $399 and later decide you want to have all the experiences Kinect enables, we will also offer a standalone sensor for Xbox One later this fall. We’ll share more details about the standalone Kinect for Xbox One in the coming months.

Bout time the pay wall comes down for apps. That was my one and only complaint.

Today's News:
1) Fiscal Reports:
  • Take Two's 2014 fiscal report revealed the company generated around $2.3 billion in net revenue and $361 million in net income. GTA V was revealed to have generated around half of the company's revenue and current sales are at around 33 million.
  • Wall Street Journal states Sony is expected to be revealing a $1.3 billion loss for the 2014 fiscal year. Several Sony executives are also expected to be slashing their pay by 50% for this year as an apology.

2) Some Gamespy shutdown news as Capcom states Street Figher 3: Third Strike Online Edition and Marvel vs. Capcom Origins will not be affected by the server shutdown while Lost Planet 3 is currently in the process of being moved to new servers. Bungie states they are working on an official patch to allow Halo CE's online multiplayer to continue after the server shutdown.

3) Besides the Kinect-less version of the Xbox One, other announcements by Microsoft included an updated list of services no longer locked to Gold accounts and Games for Gold will now follow the PS+ model of the games only being playable as long as a subscription is active.

4) Driveclub will contain a microtransaction system although it will not offer Fame exp nor cars outside your Fame level to be purchasable and instead only as quick unlocks for cars within your exp level.

At least Games with Gold is finally moving to XBone. Bout time I get something tangible for that money considering I have to pay separate for 360 and One.

They're way behind Sony in this respect, but this does a lot to close that gap. Releasing 2 free games a month on XBone instead of the 1 with PS+ also will make up for the delay in the programs launch.

Overall, big thumbs up to MS for this.

Having an option to buy the console without it will save the damn thing and close the gap.

Now it's without the Kinect, I'm more likely to trade in my 360 sooner for the One. I've never really used the 360 Kinect, never appealed to me and never had the space needed. I know I wouldn't use the new Kinect, a lot of it's features aren't available in my region and don't have anywhere really to have it sitting there all the time, so for me I've never wanted it. I'm glad there is now an option to not have it, certainly help with the cost although the console by itself is still going to be around $599 where I am.

Plus I get the feeling that Far Cry 4 is just a quick cash in. Will probably use a lot of resources from FC3.

Which I'm not THAT bummed about, because FC3 is fucking tits.

I'm fully aware of that. I'd rather have something to play to fill that gap Division now left instead of nothing at all. Fall's looking pretty bleak right now.

Honestly, if it were anyone other than Ubisoft I would be worried, but their quick cash in sequels still tend to be really fun.

Weekend News Edition
Google is in the process of buying streaming company Twitch for over $1 billion. Will be part of the Youtube branch once the deal is done.

Quote:
Google’s YouTube has reached a deal to buy Twitch, a popular videogame-streaming company, for more than $1 billion, according to sources familiar with the pact.

The deal, in an all-cash offer, is expected to be announced imminently, sources said. If completed the acquisition would be the most significant in the history of YouTube, which Google acquired in 2006 for $1.65 billion. The impending acquisition comes after longtime Google ad exec Susan Wojcicki was named CEO of YouTube earlier this year.

This year I would propose that we have four E3 threads for 2014:

Nintendo @ E3 2014
Sony @ E3 2014
Microsoft @ E3 2014
E3 2014 thread for EA, Konami, Ubisoft, and general news.

We know the big three conferences that drive the main thread every year, and I think giving the big three their own thread would make things easier to follow. What say you?

Dont forget about the GiantBomb shows at night which always feature an odd cast of characters. A few years ago they had Jonathan Blow bitching at an XBox rep. And then he was on with CliffyB last year. No idea what's in store this time around.

Today's News:
1) Microsoft is rumored to be releasing a special Halo collection set for the Xbox One later this year and likely named as "Halo: The Master Chief Collection."
http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...-xbox-one-year

2) Update to The Division getting delayed till 2015 news as developer Massive Entertainment states the game is very unlikely to be released next year due to several serious problems they are currently having with the game's development. Also have been preoccupied more with developing a brand new game engine for Ubisoft than working on the game itself.
http://www.destructoid.com/tom-clanc...5-275063.phtml

3) According to a report from CVG, layoffs have recently occurred at Rare studio with around 20 employees laid off and the official reason due to the poor sales of Kinect Sports Rivals.

Really don't see the point in all these remastered games, I don't see the point in them considering they aren't that old. I want to play new, proper next gen games.
