XBox One: Swing And A Miss?!?

Default Prime editor Mike Patuleia takes a look at the Microsoft XBox One reveal event and gives his assessment of the items announced today. From the looks of things, Microsoft has a long way to go.

Im pretty sure all the XBOX fans are satisfied with the event because its exactly what they asked for.

SoapShoes3983d ago

Maybe some, but I doubt many of them are.

denawayne3983d ago

As an Xbox fan I can say the conference was underwhelming but does that automatically mean the system sucks? If I were to listen to every post on here I should go back and start beating off to the Sony press conference (which in reality was underwhelming also. Let's be honest). I'll hold my judgement until more games are shown (for both systems). Now bring on the disagrees because I'm an Xbox fan. The more I get, the more it proves this site is overran by Sony fanatics.

JsonHenry3983d ago

Right now I am leaning toward the PS4 but I will absolutely not write it off completely until E3. (where they said they would show the games and gaming related features)

konnerbllb3983d ago

I'm an xbox fan and I wasn't satisfied.

denawayne3983d ago

Like I wrote above, I wasn't satisfied either. Now if the system were to launch tomorrow, I would say it's definitely in trouble. Let's wait till E3. MS WILL have games to show.

sinjonezp3983d ago

@denawayne

that is the problem. Everyone was saying wait and see on the 21st. Well all our fears have been proven and they didn't show any real gaming content. They came out and showed a DVR box and television connectivity and stuff most people did not care about. What made Xbox - Xbox, was the gaming integration. That is what got them to the position they are in. Now they did not show anything of real gaming, just a few cgi or crafted fabrications of what the product may look like...Regardless of the games, the amount of money they are going to ask for in return via , subscriptions, used game installs, ect, I will have to pass. The biggest thing for a consumer is to feel as if they invest in a product and get ROI. If I'm spending massive money on products I can get elsewhere without overheads, I'll use simple logic. No more wait and see. They shown, and its not very attractive.

denawayne3982d ago (Edited 3982d ago )

I have to reply by saying that the PS4 really hasn't shown me any differences than the Xbox One. Really, point out the differences. Are they really that different or are we mesmerized by these press conferences? I will hold steady until E3 and then the launch to make a decision on what I'm going to buy.

Maddens Raiders3983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

for me the conference was over once the word "XBOXONE" flashed across the screen. I was like wtf? There's already been an XBOX that was #1. Surely they're not calling it that right? Right? Wrong - shut up and eat your Kinect cake you silly consumer/casualgamer.

Godmars2903983d ago

Pity then that MS wasn't talking to them...

Pyrrhus3983d ago

I would not be surprised if people like you lump those Xbox fans disappointing with this underwhelming display with Sony fanboys.

The reveal was terrible for a gamer.

Don Mattrick is such a joke. Former EA lackey now heading Xbox brand into ground. Is what it should say on his resume.

matrixman923983d ago

was there even a swing? its like they walked out on stage and just died

PirateThom3983d ago

I don't get why people are upset NOW, this has been my percieved view of the 360 for the past 4 years.... it's not doing anything different other than no one is pretending it has a focus on games.

cleft53983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

They just gave a reveal where gaming was a footnote. Say what you will, most people brought the xbox 360 for the great games on it and all the media features where just an added bonuses. People are upset because they watched that reveal expecting to see the future of gaming, not a VHS player.

PirateThom3983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

Yeah, but, again, that's been how Microsoft has presented the 360 for the past 3 or 4 years.

People kept buying the 360, why change something that was working?

jessupj3982d ago

That's a good point. As it stands, the 360 has not being supporting core gamers for a long while. 2 AAA exclusives released last year and 1 this year. People were expecting MS to suddenly flip flop and start catering to them?

It's been blatantly obviously for a while now that MS has no interest in core gaming.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth790d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo790d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy790d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad789d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX790d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam790d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje790d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad789d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude790d ago (Edited 790d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551729d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1729d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1729d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.
