Actually my bad I didn't realize that the skype group i was talking about was REDD only. Could someone make just a FCWARS skype group? I'm surprised we don't actually have one up yet.

I've just made a chat for the reveal, which afterwords could potentially turn into a community-wide one. If anyone wants to me added, just post here or message me with your skype name!

It's called "Xbox One". It looks kinda brickish and the controller looks pretty similar with a better Dpad.

30 minutes in, it finally gets to games.

Seems the new xbox will have its own recording device to record clips.
New matchmaking system, bigger matches with more players.

So the new Call of Duty is obviously a big rip off of Ghost Recon and Battlefield games. Well, at least it will be different from the previous games and not just a rinse and repeat like it has been. But I'm sure all the kids online will still be saying every "new" feature was invented by Infinityward.

Spielberg directing the Halo TV series? I actually can't wait to see it.

EA's new engine seems really nice. Not gonna lie.

300k servers? Could this be the death of lag as we know it?

Did he say that the Xbox One comes paired with the new Kinect? Not bad.

The "always online" rumor was neither confirmed nor denied. Although from everything they presented, it is quite a possibility. That's a negative for me.

Also, not big on the focus on television. I would much rather have a gaming console, but we will see what they present at E3. Hopefully they left the games for then.

On another note, I do like how they did not change the controller a lot.

what's the story on reverse compatibility?

Also I laughed my ass off when COD said they are bring in a new feature, lean! The feature that has been in PC shooters for decades but that's COD for you. Always bringing in never before seen features. Also new feature of destroyable maps. I wouldn't have a problem with this if they didn't go around acting like they made it up and where the first one to think about it. Just say the feature and don't act like it is this super advanced new thing that you guys slaved long and hard over.

Halo TV show? Better make room on my DVR. Like many I would have liked a movie but I can live with this.

Over all I felt it was a positive thing

I was expecting a slow pace kind of show, but microsoft literally presented alot of what everyone wanted to know.

Release date set for "Later this Year". So technically its saying it could be released between now and December 31st. Chances are we will hear a release date when PS4 makes the first move on it

Kotaku's articles are a great source to sum everything up.

Backwards Compatability (in the traditional sense): DENIED because of different architectures (same issue with PS3/PS4). Who knows if they will allow Cloud Gaming back-compat like the PS4 plans.

Bazonga: I've noticed the same thing. The Last of Us also teased a date around that time in their demos.

It's possible that you could just have the game uninstalled from yours so they could play it and then install it again once they're done.

Im mixed emotions on this. Im tired of letting people borrow my games and never seeing them ever again. This will give me a logical reason to not allow someone to borrow my games.

However, I like buying games used at Gamestop. Its a way to save money.

In honesty though, if its gonna go down to "Buy a disk, install it, now the disk is worthless". I kinda hope when a new game is released, you can just download it from the xbox on release day. I don't need disks stacking up in my room like the 360 games lol

Kotaku expands on that. Says the fee will be the full price of the game.

I have mixed feelings about it. From a business standpoint, I understand it completely. But on the other hand, this is gonna really cripple the used game market.

Fee =/= Full Price

That has to be completely incorrect

Many other people have said the amount hasn't been decided upon just yet.

There is no way Microsoft will box someone in the corner where they let a buddy borrow a game and have it cost them a full price of a game while taking a chance of losing people who might be interested in a game.

Basically telling someone "oh you want to try this game out to see if you like it? That will be $60" would make the customer walk away. Microsoft has done stupid shit in the past, but they aren't that stupid to pull something like that lol.

I see the Fee being about $10... or a deal just like the "Online Pass", but have it be allowed for you to use the game as a whole.

Also, did Microsoft mention anything about the XBL Subscription costs for it? Iv heard rumors they are bumping it up a little but iv also heard they might be dropping the price a little as well.

I would guess it would be higher, they are adding quite a few new features. But I dont think they have confirmed anything yet.

Yeah, im guessing an increase. But I don't think it will be much higher than were it is now. Maybe up $5 or something like that.

I'm fine with the Xbox One (Love the name)

And who cares about backwards compatibility anyways? I hardly used it on my 360 except for Halo 2, but quickly moved on to the newer games. And if you want to play your 360 games, then just play them on your 360. It's not rocket surgery people.

The system sounds like Steam, your game is tied to your account and can't be played anywhere else without your account.

I don't have an issue with used games as well since I always buy my games new, so I won't even notice that aspect.

My closing thoughts on the PS4 and Xbox One announcements:

^ My feelings exactly. I don't really borrow games from people at all, and when I buy games I get them new to support the developer. Of course because of this I own only a handful of games, but that's just the way I am.

I do my best to impress and I recently watched every episode (unto S3, E6) and LOVE the show so much! :)

Yeah, I don't fully understand the rage. MS has a ton of info to get out in a 1 hour time frame. I see why they didn't go as in depth as they were supposed to, since E3 is right around the corner. I think a ton of people are blowing every detail out of proportion.

Not understanding why some of the complaints are saying that the Xbox One is no longer a game console, but an entertainment console when the past 2 years alone were spent on making the Xbox 360 an entertainment hub.

And why not?

Our phones in the past 5-10 years turned from being plugged into our walls to being wireless, to being on the go, to having text messaging, apps, games, etc. It's the evolution of technology. (Spoiler alert, its turning into a computer/cellphone: *GASP*)

More like the Xbox Radian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian)
