Xbox One and Microsoft's miscommunication

MMGN.com: "To say there is a little confusion in the wake of Microsoft's Xbox One conference is a gross understatement."

This device has exceeded my expectations for Microsofts next gen console failing. Hats off to Microsoft for creating a console that even hardcore fanboys are againist.

MasterCornholio3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

My expectations were low but jeez microsoft even managed to disappoint me.

And about the miscomunication Microsoft didnt have any issues with that they said what they wanted to say.

And that is the XBOX One is an all in one media box that focuses on providing services and sports to your living room and that it has an extra called gaming.

Gaming should have been the main focus and not just an extra.

Donnieboi3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

There was absolutely NO miscommunication. They knew exactly what they were presenting. Even post-event interviews up until now shows that they meant everything they showed and said. And sadly, they were actually proud of it.

AngelicIceDiamond3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

MS mistake was simple. They didn't unveil it as a gaming device.

I know it'll have its fair share of games at E3. But that's NOT how to unveil a console EVER.

The 360's unveiling was fantastic they should of done it that way.

isarai3990d ago

there were WAY bigger problems than that

iistuii3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

Honestly, I can't see what all the fuss is about. They showed the console & control, they showed kinect2 working, they showed Skype, they showed the biggest selling game in the world cod & the biggest selling sports titles new engines. They showed a couple of exclusives & said the will show off 15 exclusives in the game event E3 round the corner. Now did you all expect then to show off all their games with E3 just round the corner. If E3 is full of Kinect games & the exclusives are really inferior to the PS4 ones, I'd agree they're in deep trouble, but untill then let's wait to see.

PSVita3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

The cheering was fake
the box was huge
he was controlling the kinect with a remote in his pocket
they didn't show any gameplay
they have Skype on the 360 or at least announced it at E3 in a past
"15 exclusives; 8 of them new Ips" 4-6 being kinect titles
You can't borrow or share games
You might be able to resell game according to GameStop though
Games MUST be installed to play and you MIGHT be able to play SOME w/o Internet
You still gotta have a cable box to plug into the Xbox.

I could keep going but basically they're messing up.

iistuii3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

The used/resale of games won't just be Xbox why do you think EA done away with the online pass last week, because they knew this was gonna happen, both consoles will require a pass to play a used game, I'd be very surprised if that's not the case.

@PSVita
Nope still not surprised, Sony state they wont block used games just as Xbox wont block you playing used games, but you will still have to pay for a code. Listen I don't really care, I buy all my games for pc so I cant re sell anyway, I'm just saying its going to be very surprising if Sony don't do the same with the code. I will totally agree that if they don't, it will be a disaster for Microsoft.

“We are just now announcing the basic vision and strategy for PS4, and we’ll have more information to share regarding used games later this year.”

Sony worldwide studio head Shuhei Yoshida

Same kind of response to the subject MS gave.

Sideras3990d ago

They could've shown one fucking exclusive at the very least.

iistuii3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

They showed two exclusives at the reveal i think. Quantum Break & Forza 5.

DOMination-3990d ago

This is a PR nightmare from the beginning. Nintendo never recovered from a terrible first impression and MS are going to struggle now.. even if their e3 is a gaming bonanza a lot of the people who would naturally be early adopters are the people who talk about it on n4g, neogaf etc. and so far I don't see many people who are likely to change their minds.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5069d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5069d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5069d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495069d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5069d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5069d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
