Hello all
Well the new xbox called XBOX ONE was revealed to the world to much fanfare and hype and many questions and while I am glad that we now know what it is going to look like and a few of the games as well as some extra information, a lot of questions still remain.
1.How connected will the xbox one have to be?
While the question of an always online platform was answered with a no it does not have to be always connected to play the system. new information now revealed that the system may very well have to connect to the internet at least one a day. While I hope this is just a rumor if it turns out to be true it will stop a lot of gamers from buying the system as many as an always online console did. I truly believe that until the digital network of the united states is available to every person then an always online system should be OPTIONAL!!!!
2. What games will be available at launch?
At the reveals it was revealed that Forza Motorsport 5, Call of duty ghosts, And quantum Break all were revealed to be launch titles, not a whole lot on games were revealed I think this will be remedied at the E3 expo in June, a few more games could have been revealed
3. How will Xbox live evolve for the new system?
Xbox live the online component of the Xbox, has to evolve and change for the new system especially if the hope to cater to the hardcore gamer, yet it cannot get so any new gamer gets overloaded with all the new features, also what about the library you have now for the xbox 360, while it was revealed that 360 games will not be playable on the Xone can you buy or get them over xbox live digitally.
4. How will the Halo tv series affect the games?
While I am thrilled that Halo is coming to tv, even more so with steven spielberg at the helm I am concerned what this will mean for the future of the franchise. Something like this has never been done before, if it works out meaning they get a network that gives them free reign, avoid the pitfalls many others fell into, and able to bridge the gab between the fans and the people who know nothing about halo. Then it could be a great series, if not then this is could be a very bad blow to halo and also to any hopes that other video games could have of coming to tv
While the press conference reveal did not reveal everything there was a lot I did and did not like
What I liked
The games announced looked awesome and having 8 games at launch is going to be great.
The ability to seamlessly switch between gaming, to movies, to tv looked awesome.
The ability to turn on the system by telling it to
What I did not like
Connect needed to play the system I love the controller but I donlt like connect and I think connect should have been optional
How the cloud will affect single player games
How the best feature were feature of entertainment more than gaming
Still unknown as to how connected will the device need to be
Finally What will the entire launch lineup look like besides what was shown
to me it seemed to be an entertainment device more than a gaming device. The whole thing made to Xone seem more like another cable box than a video game console to me I buy a new console to play games, while I am glad that things like netflix, ESPN and other are on their the reveal didn’t really reveal much for gamers as much as it did for entertainment buffs. Still I think that many of these concerns will be rectified at E3 in june but if not then for me at least sony is getting my dollar and probably the win of this new generation.
