Three Simple Things To Remember for this new console!
Simple: It's got cloud save, trending, and everything all in one place for you. Key phrases, more voice control and swiping will make transitioning easier than before.
Instant: It responds right away when you give it a command, it's always on for you.
Complete: Smart Glass, all you electronics linked to the device, kinect sensor, built in wifi, blu-ray drive.
Gaming we will have 15 exclusives in which 8 are brand new franchises. Speculating that the other 7 are mostlikely, Forza, Halo maybe a new Fable.
EA seems to have to much of a huge part in this game, I don't want to be micro-transactioned on turning the tv on!
They still didn't mention how the games work.
Are they installed and only used on that system?
Can the console play original and xbox 360 games?
Can it play use games?
Is there a point to buy physical or should we go with digital with over 300,000 servers.
You've heard before sides, which are you going with? Sony's PS4 or Microsoft's XboxOne
So with the Xbox event coming up on May 21. Many questions have arisen.
Will Xbox be headed in the direction of the Zune?
Will Microsoft offer a merger with Sony or Nintendo?
Will Steam be incorporated in a new console?
In just a few short weeks all these questions and more will be answered. Especially what the name of the console will be. However what we know is online only AND no used games. What's been rumored is raise in price for games and micro-transactions and of course the DAMN name.
I thought I
would take the time to go over the good the bad and the ugly on Durango
or 720 or what ever they are going to call it. Actually I saw great guess
on Reddit saying it will be Xbox infinite. Which I think fits pretty
well but who knows. How can you have a 720 which is TWO circles that's just a dumb name.
Surprisingly they're announcing this in late May just a few short weeks before E3. So I can't see to much being revealed and just teasing the massive fan groups. Microsoft has truly lost the rights to future Halo games being Microsoft only seeing as Bungie has gone cross consoles. All they really have left is Forza, Gears of War and Fable though you can play Fable on PC. With games like Killzone and Drive Club being revealed for PS4 I don't think many of us will miss these Microsoft Studio titles.
With Steam eventually coming to consoles like the Ouya, Steam has mentioned that they wouldn't be on Microsoft consoles if anything Wii U and PS3/PS4. Value games on 360 now like Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 will loose their spunk if I can play my PC version on another console.
Okay lets start with the good. They are switching to blu-ray finally. I
really need to complete my porn collection. Ha who pays for that
anymore.
But the
will get rid of two disk games. Which is sad because when you opened a
game and saw two disk you knew you were in for a ride. I am going to
miss that. It's a some trade off from having to install disk two and realizing you have a 4GB Xbox and yeah that sucks no DLC for you.
They also will be releasing a new Kinect which I was a huge fan of it is
one of the most innovative pieces of tech in a long time. Its great to
see them try and improve it. I wand to learn piano on my Xbox make it
happen! I do have to say that there are rumors that it will always be
connected. Couple That with the fact that they can monitor the feed from
them that some real big brother stuff. But still maybe its the aliens
beaming there demon voices in my head while I sleep. Lets just hope for
the best on the that.
There is a lot of bad news. According to the leaked dev kit photos all
games will be full installed on the hard drive. Which I personally have
gone through 4. So I don't really like that to much. But what really
gets me is that they are also going to bump up the price to 70 bucks a
game. Now that is a lot for anyone to try and keep up with newest
titles. Especially sense the pc versions of the same games are 20 bucks
cheaper! That just wrong in my opinion. But the cherry on top of the
mud pie sundae is it will have to always be connected to the internet. I
don't about you but I live on an island rain can knock my internet out.
I don't want to pay 6 to 7 hundred bucks just so I can't play a game
because Microsoft doesn't want me playing used games during
thunderstorms.
Yep that's right NO used games 70 bucks every time. The
ps4 isn't doing it so... why is Microsoft shoot themselves in the foot? So when you buy the newest Call of Duty and you want to loan it to your buddy Tommy, Tommy is sure going to be pissed that he can't play it.
This may also harm Gamestop but with two other success systems like Sony's and Nintendo's I don't think they'll be worried.
I
am a huge 360 fan, I defended it many. A time from the PlayStation
Fanboys. I don't want to have all my loyalty and trust get thrown to the
wind because they wanted micro-transactions in every game so they can
give me half a game for 70 and buy the rest every time I beat a level. I
am a little emotional about this.
Come May 21 we shall know all so buckle done. Hold on to you butts and hit that power switch cause it
coming.
When most people think of hard games they may think of battle toads or Castlevania but, I think of Dark Souls. Dark Souls is and will be one of the hardest games I will every play. Dark Souls was the spiritual successor to Demon Souls but Dark Souls is getting its own sequel hopefully later this year. There isn't to much info on Dark Souls 2 yet but what from we do know the combat is staying the same. With a brand new engine Dark Souls 2 graphics will be better than ever and Namco-Bandai themselves said they wanted to give the game a more “realistic” look.
One of the directors was quoted on the engine saying that “it was made for current gen” so no plans for next gen in the future.. One of the reasons Dark Souls was punishing because when you died you lost all of your souls and if you died again they were gone forever. This was the staple of Demon and Dark Souls and of course it will be coming back. The director of Dark Souls was quoted that he doesn't think Dark Souls should have a lot of sequels but, we shall see.
Though it has no release date as of yet, we hope to see it in 2013. Most likely when E3 happens they'll want to show off their new game. Especially with games like Beyond Two Souls promising the most realism in video games on current consoles.

WHOA! Why can't next gen consoles come out now? Or at least these games? Battlefield 4 is slated for October 15th, 2013. And with no presence of another Call of Duty game besides Activison's Destiny, it looks like Battlefield may finally get the respect it deserves.
EA has promised that this game will be the MOST realistic war game visually, mechanically, and of course for playing. So far in this 60 second trailer they haven't dissapointed. For a second I thought this was fake and some trailer for another war movie.
EA is definitely taking a step in the right direction. With companies producing games like Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls and Metal Gear V that are the most realistic and anticipated game, Battlefield 4 can now join the list.
Also they've promising the best maps and online experiencing without lacking in campaign either. Battlefield 4 has the potential to be a grand slam for video games! With a huge online map as realistic as ever and campaign hard to deny why this game can't surpass Call of Duty.
This picture just proves my point, this is actually game play. Where we've seen this kind of style only in cut scenes. With Battlefield 4's new frostbite 3 engine, they're skipping past PC graphics and going for realism!
Get ready for the ride of a life with the most realistic war game ever! If this is what Ps3 and Xbox 360 are going to look like I can't wait to SEE the next gen consoles graphics for this. Will we actually be in the game at that point? Probably but pretty darn close.
Pre-order now @ your local GameStop and recieve limited edition dog tags and codes for future items. Including the first map just like Back to Kirkland in Battlefield 3.

After playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance I was a little disgruntled on another game. But with Frostbite engine 3, Konami is utilizing Fox Engine MAKING this game look so real it looks like a movie.
This game looks awesome watch the trailer, it's a little long yes but deserves every minute of it. Not only does it utilize realistic properties like when Snake's start loosing focus it happens just like one of us would when having head trauma.
Also you can see the damn hairs and sweat on snake which was impossible in most games! This game promises much potential especially after the success of Patriot Guns.
I have two concerns with the game. One I hope Konami doesn't make promises they can't keep. As in don't keep us exciting for years like with Revengeance and take out all the stuff that we actually cared about especially length. And my second concern is that this game will be on everything!
But more importantly next gen consoles, so were does that leave current gen? I don't want to loose graphical importances because next gen consoles aren't out yet!
Little is still known on this game especially the time gap between the two games. Also we don't know the release date yet, however this 6 minute preview can hold me over a little longer. Perhaps E3 will be the stage for more release info?
Hell, if this game is all preliminary than we may be shocked to see what a finished prodcut can be. Plus I really want to know what the title of the game means! I know Snake is the most tactical, shadow hiding, take you out badass so is the title about him? Or something worse?
With engines like Frostbite 3 and Fox this game that you would not except are bringing and upping the competition of what a game should like. Realsim is key to a great game, and it looks like games like these and Last of Us and Beyond Two: Souls will do just that. Whether it be on current gen consoles or next, these companies have promised us the moon and more for gaming.
That's ONE small step for companies ONE giant step for gaming.
