National Surveillance Agency: Looking At Google Glass, Xbox One Through The NSA's Prism

Definitely not a good time to be touting your "always-listening" video game console. On May 21, Microsoft unveiled their long rumored Xbox One (or 720/Durango depending on what rumors you followed) along with what media features and abilities contained in the new system. Among them were the new Kinect's always-listening feature, letting users turn on the device simply by saying "Xbox on."

National Surveillance Agency?
Lol.

That's what it should be called.
Good call.

This really is such a strange coincidence between the prism story breaking, the guy running away to China and then MS reveals this insidious camera.
The timing couldn't possibly be any worse, and anyone who thinks that this device will not be storing their meta data in NSA's super servers, are deluded at this point.

Its what they're doing. Its what Kinect is for.
Its going down.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack22h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville2h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack15h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos3h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack15h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno3h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville2h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos12h ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing698h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

TheGamer Writes "The tennis sim is as good as ever, but is lacking basic features that make this worthwhile at this stage."

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill12h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
