What a clusterfuck, Microsoft is proving why we didn't even need a new gen anyway. Or at least how unready they were. So basically all they have left is a Xbox 360 that can flip between games and TV for you.

On the bright side, I found this whole process very entertaining. These entire situations are controlled by mega corps sitting on 100's of millions, people who are paid 7 or 8 figures....

It's so mind boggling it's hilarious.

and the impending Francis Video................

Here is what scares with Kinect 2. If they made 2 bundles, one with it and one without they would need to advertise and show us why we want the peripheral. So far I have not seen anything about the Kinect 2. Instead they are just shoving it in the box and forcing us to pay for it.

Why dont they show something kewl pertaining with the new camera? Probably because they may not be anything?

I was at gamestop and on the TV they were showing a zombie game that will eventually come exclusively to XB1. Game looked really awesome, they were talking about how there would be 3x as many zombies as the previous game. Cool, but then they talked about how they would integrate kinect into the game. The kinect would listen to the sounds around the room and if you bumped into something or made any noise the zombies would hear you and come after you so you have to game quietly.

That's my problem with it. They want you to buy the thing on the promise that there will eventually be content that will make you want to use the Kinect, but after seeing things like Kinect Star Wars and Steel Battalion, I'm nowhere close to being sold on it as anything other than a hands-free remote. I'd rather have the option to pay less now and buy it after developers start proving its worth by releasing worthwhile content.

Just imagine how much rage this is going to cause.

Of course, it introduced me to Francis.

As far as I'm concerned some of his stuff released during this period should go down in Video Game history. Especially the one with him breaking the Kinect.

Doing this drunk in a dark room would sure be interesting. Don't want to game quietly though? Turn it off :dd:

So, where is the delight that people get out of mocking Microsoft changing everything that pissed people off? Why does it exist? The delight should be that they're doing it, not at their expense.

I particularly like the posts popping up now in the gaming world where gamers are now disappointed that MS didn't stick to their guns. Hard to imagine why gamers in general get considered immature almost constantly.

 

[Primetime]

I agree with the first point, but the part about people being upset they've switched policies is completely rational. Some people want the future of gaming, not the PS3.1 and the Xbox 361.

Not arguing with those people that want that. Most gaming sites though are rife with people that hated Juan out of the gate. I have seen multiple people at some forums (one of which is hocked off of and posted here excessively) now say that they would have at least respected MS for sticking to their guns, but now they're STILL not buying it because they hated it before but now they also didn't stick to their guns (obviously all paraphrasing).

My point was less about the people that liked the ideas and were mad about losing them and more about the people that like to dislike everything.

Yes they wasted our fucking time. We all watched a press conference for a video game console, that had nothing to do with gaming. The part where they mentioned Halo(which got everyone excited) only to bring out Steven Spielberg to not talk about a Halo game...but instead some TV show, pretty much sums it up the entire experience.

Oh come on...they wasted your time? You were watching a press conference about video games, and you expected not to be lied to in some way? Have you ever seen an E3 before?

You're posting on VSN right now man, surely that is exponentially more of a time waster than anything you would see at what could charitably described as America's Next Top Video Game.

What was the future of gaming?

Being able to turn your gaming console on by talking to it?
Getting fantasy basketball updates on your TV screen?
Being able to watch trailers and order tickets for the Hunger Games Part 2 while you're still in the middle of watching the first one?
Not being able to play unless you're online?
Not being able to easily lend, trade, or sale games to your friends?

How is any of this a future that anyone should've wanted?

E3 Press conferences:

PS4: 64% spent on gaming
Xbone: 61% spent on gaming


DAMN YOU MICROSOFT!
