Xbox ONE

it's hilarious how their own PR staff had conflicting statements. Microsoft is the last one of the three platform manufacturers to present their new console, yet the unveiling was very underwhelming.

sony is the last to present their console

mura man VHS player or Betamax, hehehe..

[-JoE-]

IMO
sa graphics, both consoles would probably be in par
sa peripherals, probably mu excel ang xbox1 tungod sa new kinect., murag mao ma ni gi focus sa MS gud
sa service, probably mu excel ang xbox sa north america ra jud tungod atong mga NFL, live TV, etc.. pero wa gyud ni gamit sa lain countries - ang PSN + gaikai + playstation plus tngale better na service dre sa pinas
sa games, based lang sa initial reveal mas daghan jud exclusives ang playstation. mas daghan mn gud first party devs
huwat rajud tas pricing ane

All I can see is MS targeting not just GAMERS but also FAMILIES. Plus 15 exclusives on the first year so Yey!

but it doesn't say anything about affecting single player experience.

the way the interview went, it did suggest that it would affect the single player experience. like I said earlier, it might be similar to Steam's offline mode, albeit having shorter gaps between checks.

kotaku edited their article "There have been reports of a specific time period — those were discussions of potential scenarios, but we have not confirmed any details today, nor will we be."

yeah. read it a while ago, too. However, having Phil Harrison say it himself gave the statement credible weight.

Making a statement about the Xbox One as an "always online console" or "a console which requires online" is a bomb they should be careful when and how to drop. Having someone like Phil Harrison say those things, then backpedal will not work in Microsoft's favor, just like the situation they are in now.

in other words-- they don't know

--or they might be backpedaling --or it could also be because of how apparently uncoordinated their PR staff are.

--or could this have been a plan by Sony all along to have Phil Harrison and Adam Orth work in Microsoft and say those things?

Given the backlash over Simcity and that Microsoft PR who got fired, Microsoft wouldn't screw themselves by requiring online play. There is a way to play offline. There has to be.

yeah, I hope so. But I'd rather have Microsoft screw themselves, than have them screw their customers.

this is not a choice here. it's pretty much not possible. backwards compatibility is a feature on hardware matching
x86 cpus are incompatible with powerpc executables. Emulation has too many issues with compatibility and speed for it to be viable. Adding a chip from the 360 would bump its price too high for it to be competitive.

yeah, I know. Like the PS4, it's a necessary trade-off the Xbox has to undergo for the sake of easier and a much more streamlined development of their next and probably future console.

What I posted earlier is what I personally find unappealing of the Xbox One. no BC coupled with the probability of lower priority of Japan personally means no more SHMUPS on the Xbox One.

Right now, despite the fact that the PS3 is the preferred console of Japan, the 360 has the most Japanese games I want, specifically Cave's Shooters. Not having the option to bring them or repurchase them on the Xbox One gives me less reason to get the new console.

sony is the last to present their console

oh yeah, I was referring to their February presentation, where they did present some important information of the PS4. I forgot we have yet to see the actual PS4 console itself.

Adam Sessler's interview with Matt Booty:


3:20 mark, they have something to say about Xbox's online. What I find interesting is this:

Sessler: "... I mean if you have a truly solitary single player experience, would that be requiring an internet connection?"

Booty: "I think if we're going to...so in the absence of the internet connection, we're going to be able to play Bluray movies... and there are.. uhh.. are likely going to be some game modes you will be able to continue to play. but again, the Xbox One is really designed to take advantage of the modern era, where the people have got high speed internet... "

such a vague and indirect answer. I find it awkward why he'd give the ability to play Bluray movies as the first answer to the question.

Basta exclusives playstation gyud daog.

not really. There are a lot of SHMUPS that are only available on the 360.

Also, preferences.

I actually have both PS3 and Xbox 360 and I use my 360 more. It's just the better console in my opinion. We'll see later this year if the Xbox One has a lot more to offer.
