it's just gotta allow over the internet or the feature is less than worthless.   the only way this has any value is if i can play game on my lunch break.

 

"i want to play my console games on my laptop screen instead of my tv" ~said no one ever.


Actually a lot of people would prefer playing on monitors as opposed to TV's due to the input lag on TV's.

no.  no they don't.  only forum dwellers even know a stat called input lag exists.


Are forum dwellers not people? They all fictional creatures? I don't know why you are continuing to argue.

Holograms look cool. Hope they can shrink the glasses down a little though.

It will take take, as the entire processing it's done there, they might do a alternative where a powerfull desktop does the job and stream to it. It seems to have all the kinects abilities within it, so Kinect was just a learning curve.

Disappointing.

I wouldn't mind streaming my PC to my Xbox One, but the reverse seems pointless.
Wired already had hands on with Hologram and said it was not ready, nothing like the fake demonstration.
The new Internet Explorer looks like chrome. This isn't a bad thing in itself.
Fable Legends for PC: Cross-Play (I would rather have a real Fable)
Windows 7, and 8 users get free upgrades. (That's nice)
Cortana sounds like a privacy nightmare. (Its creepy)
AR hinted at Xbox One but nothing official.

Did I miss anything

Fixed.

Yeah, but the Move allowed them to finally control 3D objects in a 3D world or augmented reality situation. Microsoft definitely sells the idea better though. 


Hologram demo reminded me of this demo done by media molecule at PS4 reveal.

Not sure if it's just free if upgrading within a year or after that users that upgraded must pay a fee. I'm not watching the press but I'm reading this news across the web but to no consensus about this.

This is the longest wrap-up ever.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, that was boring, nothing that interests me. Internet hype machine went too far as usual

So wait...what was the big thing at the end? That was...a little lame...



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Well holograms were quite near the end. So I'm gonna guess that.

Overall good, lots of interesting stuff announced. But it could easily have been half an hour shorter.

Yep. It sucks about Sony's financial situation because technology wise they are so far ahead of Microsoft. Almost a decade ahead it seems after this. They suck so badly at viewer aesthetic and selling the product though.
