Forums - Microsoft - Features in the Next Xbox (wishlist)

Hello,

Here is my list of what I want to see in the next Xbox.

  1. Touch screen support. I play on a monitor.
  2. Voice commands through headset; opens up opportunities for devs to do amazing things with voice controlled AI. Shouldn't have to buy kinect for this.
  3. SSD; wishful thinking, but it would be nice as a premium SKU.
  4. Built-in game capture and editor; many gamers want to make their content for youtube but it either costs a lot or is complicated to set up. Should have ability to export as AVI for PC editing.
  5. Hot keys to start and stop recording on the fly. Also taking snapshots. These buttons can be extras on the controller.
  6. USB headset compatbility.
  7. Game sound through headset ability.
  8. 8 local player support. PS3 has 7!
  9. Easier integration with PCs to share files. One button sync.
  10. Better controller swith logic; if player 1 runs out of batteries it'll endlessly display "please reconnect controller". If a new controller tries to connect it should take player 1's spot. Always an annoying scene during parties.
  11. Don't change the controller layout or the analogs !! Controller is perfect except improve the D-pad. I bought the new d-pad controller that pops out or goes in and it was an improvement but not by much. PS3 controller has amazing D-pad. And please do not make the analog sticks like PS3. PS3 analog sticks are too loose. I love the resistive feel of the xbox. Do not change!


Around the Network

All I ask for is more top tier first party games oh and get mor JRPG's on the Xbox.



Games will come and hopefully goods ones. That is an evolving scene. This is more about the hardware as it will stay with you for the entire generation so it should be exciting hardware with worthwhile features.
