Here are the facts about the Xbox One and Used Games

You are not going to like how all this shakes out...

5/25/13 9:59am

akiraokami: Microsoft were the ones who released the details we currently know, that they are inaccurate and incomplete is their own fault, and chances are... they weren't inaccurate and incomplete before they noticed "Holy fuck, people don't like this?"

5/25/13 9:54am

TheSwedishGamer: That PS4 is looking very tempting.

5/25/13 6:42am

OmegaSoldierX: Microsoft, you greedy, sweer siping, croch blocking mo'fo's... It's just like Angry Joe said, "This is the beginning of the end for Microsoft," or some crap like that. Looks like we'll only have two companies going at it with for the next console war. Think about it- the 3DS and Vita came out about a year or two ago, and things have been keeping steady there. Here, they finally lost their own damn minds. If Sony takes the gamecentric path and becomes more accessible with the PS4- then that's the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft and the XBox One. Hell, the Atari Jaguar has seen better days! And that's saying a s**t ton of a lot, ladies and gentlemen. At least the Jaguar tried to do something new. But this- this is unacceptable.

CyberAngel573: I don't think it is. They were made by two different companies. And how do they look similar? They look nothing alike.

5/24/13 2:29am

Tom the Iron Man: I wonder if this has anything to do Scurge: Hive that was released on the DS back in 2006, it looks very similar.

Square Enix's North American President has left the company

Moving on to bigger and better things isn't all bad though...

5/24/13 12:40pm

Fish_Outta_Hell: Good for him. He did a decent job and no one appreciated it. Now he is moving on to better things. Also... Amazon you sly dog...

5/23/13 6:07pm

Molmoran: Amazon are like business psychics!

5/23/13 3:56pm

Kaepora22: Probably for the best. Those games sold really well and they were still hounded for not meeting their expectations. Hope he gets more respect where he's at, now.

Sam Fisher partners up in this closer look at Splinter Cell: Blacklist co-op

For those of you lucky enough to have friends, this is a new mode that you can enjoy together.

blackmaniac: guess Michael Ironside got sick of beeing Sam Fisher

5/22/13 2:26pm

Grandpennywise: I'm sorry, but Sams new voice is so not-fitting the character at all. He sounds too young and, well, just no x.x
I think I would've rather seen a new character take his place.

metabro: Why waste the money at all? Sony has not proven anything either, other than they are extremely desperate for people to be interested in the Camera, Vita, and Move. Going to stick with my Wii U and wait for a year at least until stuff gets straightened out, despite how good E3 might turn out, which was the plan since both reveals of each console

5/22/13 9:02am

Angry Canadian Gamer: From the big reveal yesterday, it looks like the XBox One Dashboard still has ads, and there's been no word from Microsoft on the Xbox Live service becoming free.

Don't like the new Kinect motion controller that comes with the Xbox One? Tough shit. The Xbox One won't work if it isn't connected.

While it will require an internet connection but not an always online connection, the Xbox One is just like SimShitty and Diablow 3 in that if your system can't report in to their new cloud service at least once a day, whether your connection goes down or you live somewhere you aren't able to get high speed internet, you won't be able to use the Xbox One.

No backwards compatibility with any of the 360's disc based games, XBLA downloads, or peripherals/controllers (but you get to keep your Gamerscore...woot?).

Basically what I'm saying is, if Microsoft doesn't change, disprove or adequately explain any of that at E3 in under 3 weeks, I WILL be buying a PS4 instead.

luhsolowing: Xbox One huh? Now i'll have to stop calling the first Xbox the Xbox One and start calling it "The first Xbox."

ShinraCorp: I believe this is a great entertainment machine, however not so much as a game console. While little to no details came out on the game side of things, the Xbox One does want to challenge every single thing in your living room, including SmartTVs. By unifying all of the entertainment into one machine and controlling it using your hands and voice is impressive. However when they demonstrated the games, it was lack luster, Call of Duty: Ghosts looks like Battlefield 3, not a fan of FIFA or Forza, while yes they do look "pretty" (they have to I mean 8 GB of GDDR5 we're talking about here.) They didn't really show anything that could only work on Xbox One nor do they look any different in terms of gameplay. As for pricing, console is going to be 399$, without any chips to make it backwards compatible, they saved up on the cost for the console.

This section is kind of awkward. I need to write some interesting, but not bore you with my life story. Let's "get down to brass tacks", we all like video games. If you are down to play, feel free to hit me up online on any of my gaming networks. Oh and follow me on twitter for random musings. Besides that I guess the broad strokes include me being married, having an MBA, and owning a dog named Odie!
