The console wars are in full swing now with the PS4 and Xbox One finally hitting homes around the world. We’ve had extensive play time with both consoles here at Power Leveled and have experienced the ups and downs with the new generation.
The great thing about this generation, and the last, is that things can change. With that being said, I am going to give my opinions on what changes Microsoft should make on the Xbox One.
Everything.
I'm digging mine so far, but one thing I'd tweak is the interface. It needs background pics (I mean...come on..), party chat needs polishing, friends list needs tweaking, some features missing from 360 interface need to come back, and well, I can't really say anything other than that.
I'm sure it'll all be patched in future updates.
Dunno, let you know when I get one.
Only played a little of DR3 on my mates so far
Allow me to stream my archive of music, TV shows, movies and other media to the device for pete's sake. And yes that means MKV's too.
My $89 Roku player blows the One away as a media player.
Ditch Kinect. Beef up the specs. Build a mic and basic camera into the controller for voice controls and skype usage, and rely on Smartglass for browsing the UI and using the TV functions if they must be kept. Ideally I'd ditch that notion as well, but it's the one thing that separates the One from the PS4, so could be worth keeping. If they wanted a gimmicky way to sign into the console, then a thumb print scanner on the controller would have worked nicely in that regard.
As it is, we're stuck with a console with an inaccurate motion control camera which doesn't benefit any game other than dance games, and a severely under-powered machine due to the development being put into the insipid camera. Kinect is a waste of resources.
