From a blu-ray drive and TV through the device to exclusive titles, instant App switching and more, the 411 staff breaks down their top five desired Xbox One features!
“April was an indie-heavy month and it was hard to pick the best games but here we go! Hope you have fun and see something you like.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Games Asylum: "It seems reasonable to suggest most people have a preferred takeaway establishment. The one that you always find yourself coming back to, much to your waistline’s despair. Should that takeaway temporarily close, you’ll doubtlessly have to expand horizons and go elsewhere. Sure, the food from a second choice might be palatable, but it’s never the same, lacking in zest. This analogy can be applied to the 3D Realms published WRATH. It’s powered by a modified version of the Quake engine, and even plays like ID’s masterful shooter at times, but it’s lacking that all important crunchiness. It isn’t completely soggy, but there’s not much bite either."
This list missed the right features. Used/Borrowed games restrictions, mandatory install of every game on a non-removable 500GB HD (oh yay, external storage is supported -_-), mandatory Kinect 2 with always listening/watching feature that no one but MS knows what's being seen/heard, online check requirement every 24 hours. That's 4 super awesome features that could have been added to the list as top features.
I mean, who doesn't love giving up consumer rights and possibly having their privacy violated so that they can watch tv and do things a little quicker than they used?
High Five the sky Microsoft, High Five the Sky.
It's good that the xbox is finally getting a bluray drive, bigger hdd , even though you can't upgrade it...
Thats what an external drive is for go buy a 4 terabyte drive and you'll have all of the storage that you ever need lol.
Here are my Top 5 features:
1. DRM so our games have no value and when the console becomes retro the games will become unplayable as well. Hay, who needs to add on to their gaming libraries they have been building for 10, 20, or 30 years.
2. Kinnect always on, so we can feel safe that someone is watching that we are ok.
3. Always on, so we check in with our big brother on at least a daily basis, so we know everything is current on our systems and if you don't have a connection or stable connection, the benefit is you can go do something else because you won't be playing on Xbox. It's a win win.
4. XBL annual subscriptions are remaining so we know that access will always be available to Microsofts service and we get the privilege to play online with others. It's great jump in.
5. All in one xbox so we can actually have umm three boxes, you know the One, the Cable box, and the 360 for our game library.
Any top 5 features I should switch out?
