We are currently hearing that the Xbox One will not feature backwards compatibility.

Da fuck

Always on DRM for the console as a whole has been denied and left up to publishers. However, they have said that they would like to push towards that.

Fuck you

A new feature is Intelligent TV. With this, users can switch between games, music, movies, and television instantly with your voice.

Voice active tv remote? Wonder how this will work for foreigners who speak weird english, or if it will actually work like it should!

Im not sure why they think this is needed but whatever.

A Halo series will be developed for Xbox Live.

/Care. Spielberg producing says nothing about how good it will be. See Transformers and a lot of subpar tv series. Might be shit, might be good. Who knows.

What a shitty reveal. I wont buy it.

Has there been anything similar with PS4? I havnt really been paying attention.

How many really good TV series has Spielberg produced?

I can only really think about Band of Brothers but I might be forgetting something. The Pacific was shit when compared to BoB but I guess it was okay considering the differences in the theaters of war.

Lol´d at this

Missed the part about CoD I think?

Adding dogs seems a bit meh. The only difference will be that you will actually care when the dog dies (cause animals dying is sad) opposed to when the other shallow characters will get shot.

New AI that has fishes moving away? Wut? Is this new? Im pretty sure ive been playing games with these features. Activision should probably spend more time creating something unique rather than thinking about fish.

A lot of these new features might have no use outside of the US right?

Netflix, Live Tv, Hulu, HBO Go(?) and possibly other shit wont work outside the US. I think, copyright laws always seem to be an issue! Why alienate such a large market outside of the US? I dont want to pay for features that I cant even use!

Skype is possibly the only globally usable feature...

Not that I would use any of them. Id want to play good games, with believable graphics, that run good and are cheap! Xbox is probably going to be very pricey. If I wanted to watch TV id just turn the Xbox off!

Just seems very silly to spend time and money to add features that arnt even that impressive. You can still do all the other stuff without the Xbox, there are even fridges out there that can stream from Netflix! Just seems like this wasnt really thought about. The xbox is a gaming console, people are going to buy it to play games. Why not try and improve on that? Spending money on those features seems like a waste. To me at least.

Perhaps Microsoft is just going for the Us market and letting Sony take care of the rest? Ill eagerly wait for some Ps4 update.

I also read somewhere that sony stock jumped up after the announcement, which is interesting
