Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One is built for the future

Xbox One is built for the future... because all the past and present Xbox games won't work ;)



Around the Network

Keep in mind I am someone that has a Day One Xbox One preordered and fully paid with 4 launch games also preordered and fully paid ...

 

With that said, I am struggling to see the point of anything that was mentioned in the video.

1. Cloud power so you can use any Xbox One as your Xbox One

I can already do this with the 360 ... just take my light and very portable hdd out and slide it into a different Xbox and that Xbox is, for all intents and purposes, the same as my home Xbox 360.

2. Kinect can reconize players so you don't have to worry about who has which controller.

Was this ever a problem? Not that I play locally with friends anymore (who has the time, seriously?), but I don't ever remember having issues remember who had which controller. If you are smart, you probably have a different color/style for each of your controllers so it is easy to remember. I did this with Wii remotes so each player has a different color ... no need for this feature there.

3. Smartlass and Ryse

Umm ... so it is basically like Battlelog on Battlefield and a bunch of other games that record your stats online. Not exactly a new feature, or a useful one I must say.

4. DeadRising 3 use your cell phone as an in game cell phone.

This is actually kind of cool ... gimicky for sure, but cool. Probably won't use it much, but I will try it at least.

 

Not a great video imo. Don't see this winning people over or contributing to any "wow" factor that Xbox One may have. Can't wait for the system, but this stuff seems like a waste of time, and I will probaly never use it. If anything, I am worried about navigating the cloud bs when I go to visit my friends since before you could just slide in the hdd and you were good to go ... now I have to worry about my password being on their system and etc.



Stop biting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OT please. Jeez



cool feat. set and the video was good... but nothing screams "MUST HAVE" to me. Kinect would help my wife though... she would no longer sit in my friends list with the message "Last login 2 years ago" and could say "xbox off" at dinner time instead of calling me 12 times before i get up from the couch...



Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

Having just experienced another 2 days of internet crapping out constantly I'm not looking forward to a cloud based future. It was thanksgiving weekend here, overload of wifi broadcasting devices in the neighbourhood.
We made a lot of progress in Windwaker HD anyway :)

Kind of reminds me of the Dreamcast VMU. Had that system not have gone belly up so quickly, Headhunter was originally meant to use the VMU as a Pager to provide you with new info/updates as you were playing the main game.

I can really get on board with stuff like that, even if it is gimmicky, it hardly breaks the game. Smartglass technology could be very interesting for that kind of thing.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Welcome screen and UI look amazing.

I hate these PR titles. Every machine is built for the future. Your car is built to last x number of years for a reason.

Nothing new in the video from what I saw.

My concerns with things like smart glass are half-assed attempts to implement their functionality into the game. Will it really be something that enhances or not? Could go either way really.


this certainly is...

 

:p

Well done sir! That made me lol
