Behold the Xbox One, Microsoft's next generation console and PS4 killer!
No, wait. We’ve got to change that a bit.
Behold the Xbox One which did a load of stuff that a lot of people didn't like when it was announced but will do almost none of that stuff now.
Microsoft is like a portrait painter that can’t leave well alone. When it hears negative comments from gallery visitors, it swoops in to make corrections with a Sharpie.
When the company announced the Xbox One back in May, it included a fistful of features that immediately angered gamers: troublesome restrictions around used games, annoying always-on connectivity and a camera permanently pointed at players among them.

The pre-load for Activision and Iron Galaxy's Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is now available, and the download size has been revealed.
I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.
If they don't, Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty cheap these days on PS5 and Series X if you have on of them. Switch version was only 30fps as well.
Pro Skater 3+4 will definitely be a huge upgrade from that on Switch 2.
The Ace Combat series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Bandai Namco revealed interesting initiatives, on top of a poignant message.
That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.
what a dumb take.
Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.
I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly
^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.
@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.
@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.
It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.
If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.
In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.
The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.
Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
This was a well though out article, he hit it on the dime and to make a long story short...KISS (Keep it simple Stupid) All this hopla with the Xbox one and M$ has had to do 180 after 180 because it does what it does with everything it tries to sell, force you to upgrade and force you to work on new things that they them selves have not properly informed the masses about. These five points can be applied to any company trying to release a product to the masses. M$ learned a hard lesson with the gamers responding and giving them the notion that we will not purchase your product based on what you have presented. I am a hardcore gamer I will purchase all the new consoles but my fav console is the playstation and I commend all gamers for speaking up about M$ clear miscalculations. If this was Sony or Nintendo doing this I would expect nothing less from the gamers because all these companies must be held accountable for they want to offer us and why we should spend our hard earned money on their product....Now if we only did this to Activision....I guess I am reaching with that one.
Sony was going to do the same thing Microsoft was doing with the Xbox One and turned their backs, it was a bush league move which further shows how desperate Sony is this time around. Do you really thing Microsoft wanted to come out and do this on their own???!!! The developers, Sony, and Microsoft were all a part and in agreement for these new policies. As a matter of fact, if you do your research, you will see Sony was interested in doing this way back with the PS2!
What Microsoft was trying to do would have benefited us as gamers, not as fanboys, but as gamers in the long run. If people would stop being closet fanboys they would see this as clear as day.
Microsoft was not going to destroy our industry they were trying to destroy the one enemy of the industry which is GAMESTOP!!!
All you Sony idiots are such fanboys you fail to see the plan and Microsoft is a lot at fault for not explaining themselves correctly at E3
If Microsoft and Sony (who bailed out just to make Microsoft look bad) made these new policies the norm we would eventually see purchasing ecosystem similar to STEAM. No more GameStop jerking us around and developers would finally get some revenue for used games sales.
If people would stop being fanboys they would've have understood and supported such a move.
Blah blah blah...
Just give me another ps4 and im happy, lets not move forward /s
I'm well excited for the Xbox One. I liked the DRM, maybe not the whole kinect being on 24/7 and the internet having to be on also. But I was glad MS were taking a FUTURE-proof stance to their console.
pls ms dont go 180 with the free sticker
