[XB1] Official Xbox One Thread

You should either way.

yeah, I'm starting to second guess myself on pre-ordering an Xbox One now. This jackass and the fact of hearing about no weather or night driving in Forza 5. I mean this is next gen and Gran Turismo has had this awhile now. Dont get me wrong I enjoy forza more then GT but fuck man

Yep. That was the nail in the coffin. I was planning on going Xbox One probably a few months after release, but with that news on Forza, not now.

The more in hear about the Xbox one, the less likely I am to buy it anytime soon.

Wish Titanfall didn't have to compete with CoD and could be a launch title. At least I know I'll have a great exclusive shooter to play once CoD runs out of steam. Haven't been this excited for a game since 2007 with Halo 3 and I was REALLY excited about Borderlands 2.

Did he really just say that! I've been a huge supporter of Xbox over the years and that statement makes me want to tell Microsoft to kiss my ass

Customers eager to get an Xbox One should visit our store at Amazon.com/xboxone to ensure they keep up-to-date on the latest information. We are excited to be working with Microsoft to deliver the next generation of games and entertainment,” said John Love, Director of US Video Games & Software at Amazon.com.

It’s been an incredible day for Xbox and we’re grateful for your support.

No numbers in that release = me not all that impressed.

You really don't think a lot of people preordered? A lot of people at NeoGAF alone preordered, so I'm guessing numbers were high.

Regardless though, considering preorders mean dick, who cares? A month from now we could learn that [RUMOR!!] turning on your PS4 will make your fridge become a sentient killing machine and [RUMOR!!!] Jesus rose from the dead to endorse the XBJ. This has been the most overeactive launch ever.

During the video interview, GameTrailers asked Mattrick about the new console’s connectivity requirements. The following is a transcription of his response:

Some of the advantages that you get, of having, a box that is designed to use an online state, so, that, uh, to me is the future-proof choice, and I think people, could’ve arguably gone the other way if we didn’t do it and fortunately we have a product for people who aren’t able to get some form of connectivity, it’s called Xbox 360.


​

The interviewer pressed, asking if that was really Microsoft’s message. Mattrick continued:

Well, if you have zero access to the internet, that is an offline device, I mean, seriously, when I read the blogs, and thought about who’s really the most impacted, there was a person who said ‘hey, I’m on a nuclear sub,’ and I don’t even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub but I’ve gotta imagine it’s not easy to get an internet connection.

I'm sure a lot of people did. I just think it's pointless to put out a press release like that without including numbers. Telling me that they're impressed doesn't impress me, but if they include the actual numbers, then I might be impressed.

Hasn't MS policy through and through (even with huge sellers like Minecraft) been that they don't divulge numbers though? Sure those numbers usually get out, but never through MS.

Besides, this is a rallying call, not a "let's prove to someone people love us!" It's a "You made the right decision! These people think so too!" (which seems to be what most gamers yearn for)

Further, and related to Garrett's post: are people really that bothered by the 24 hour check in? I know that MS are being dicks about it, but I can honestly say that the only time I was without the internet for more than 24 hours in the last say, 5 years, was either when I was moving and it hadn't been set up yet, or hurricane Irene (during which I had no power).

I get that there are all sorts of crazy "what if" situations, and that people don't want to have to be on the internet to play single player. I get it. But is it really that big of a deal anymore?

There's an ISP here that loses internet connectivity at least once a month for days at a time. Hundreds of people, occasionally thousands, lose their internet for up to three or four days, at times a week. This is in a college town. There is nothing these residents can do, because it's the only ISP on that side of town.

Deal with it!

And your major concern is the internet being used for your vidja game system? Drop out of college, please.

You can't even play online on 1.5 mbps now. Even double that is usually awful.
