Xbox One: Microsoft's new console - console
(hx) 10:28 PM CEST - May,21 2013 - Post a comment / read (8)
Introducing Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system. This is the unveil video for the Xbox One, showcasing the console, the new Kinect sensor and the new Xbox One controller, as well as the new experiences that will be coming with Xbox One, including the personal homescreen, cinematic gaming, Live TV and Skype. Welcome to a new generation of games and entertainment.

  • Microsoft Xbox One: everything you need to know - The machine resembles a shiny black set-top box with a slot-loading Blu-ray drive, and it only works in horizontal orientation. Microsoft and AMD partnered to make the custom 40-nanometer chip with an 8-core CPU and GPU that powers the One. It has 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, USB 3.0, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. The system isn't just a game console, however. The One has good reason to look like a set-top box: it doubles as one. It features an HDMI pass-through so the console can sit between your cable or satellite operator's set-top box and your TV. You can tune channels with your voice, use a TV guide directly from the Xbox, and multitask between gaming, TV, Skype, Internet Explorer, and more.
  • Xbox One instantly boots from a rest state - The newly announced Xbox One console will instantly boot up from its rest state, Microsoft confirms. According to the console maker, the new platform will instantly wake up "so it's always ready when you are." Users can also use the voice command "Xbox On," which will boot up the console and, according to Microsoft, can even turn on the user's TV. Similarly, console owners can pause and resume games instantly, and both downloads and updates will be out of sight so the user won't need to wait to access other content.
  • Xbox One will play games as they install, includes auto-resume feature - Microsoft's Xbox One will allow users to play games as they are installing and will feature an "auto-resume" feature for games and apps, according to the official Xbox website. The website states players can "start playing immediately as games install." Any updates for titles and apps will install "seamlessly" in the background and won't interrupt gameplay. Users will also be able to switch between apps without losing game progress using the console's auto-resume feature. Games will be suspended when a user moves to another application, for example to check the score of a sports game, and will allow them to jump right back into the game at the same spot when they're ready. The site also states users can start a game or movie on the Xbox One and then complete it on another device, but does not explain how. Assumedly, this process will lean on the console's enhanced cloud capabilities.
  • The Xbox One will always be listening to you, in your own home - In its hour-long Xbox One presentation, Microsoft blazed through announcements for its new next-generation console, including one ostensibly important feature that may raise some eyebrows: the new Xbox will always be listening to you, even when it's turned off. The reason for always-on listening mode is simple; Microsoft wants the new Xbox to respond quickly and naturally to you, whenever you need it. To fulfill that goal, the company will ship the new Kinect - its motion-sensing and listening peripheral - with every Xbox One. The new console uses the new Kinect for just about everything: switching between games, movies, web browsing, and live television, all of which can be done with voice commands. (In fact, the new console needs the Kinect to operate at all - it's not an optional add-on like with the Xbox 360.) Even when the console's turned off, users can simply say "Xbox On" to power up - which means the new Kinect will be listening to you in your living room at all times.
  • Xbox One doesn't need always-on internet connection, supports used games - One of the big rumors leading up to the new Xbox One announcement was the possibility of Microsoft forcing gamers to keep the console connected to the internet. Microsoft says that while the Xbox One requires an internet connection, "it does not have to be always connected." The difference means that Xbox One players won't be restricted from gaming if a connection drops. "We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection," says Microsoft. Despite the system not requiring it, developers will be able to create games that will not play offline. Wired reports that games will be able to hook into Microsoft's Azure cloud services with a lack of offline support, but there is no requirement for them to do so yet. A second part to the always online rumor was some type of activation system that prevents used games. Microsoft says it's "designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games," and promises to offer more details in future

Sounds good but we'll see what happens once it's out. I wouldn't personally mind one but if I need to pay for live service just to use netflix or the like they can kiss my ass. If that live service came with tv guide updates and other content besides gaming then maybe providing what that includes.

Looks good though I'm sort of impressed so far by MS.

I wonder how it's going to deal with Nvidia-optimized titles (new and old).
If it's 99 dollars (or less) and no registration/subscription nonsense is required, I might buy one for the kids.

Heh. I believe Microsoft has stated some variation of that for every version of Windows since 95. It still hasn't happened. Don't see it happening here, either. Apparently MS defines the word "instantly" very differently from the rest of the English-speaking world. :P

Well, they support used games and don't require you to be always online so that took care of my only worries.

Oh, but look, it requires the friggin kinect sensor to navigate AT ALL? Screw you, pass.

Now if the Kinect sensor is the default setting for navigation but you can change it to just using the controller (and disconnect the kinect completely) then ok. But this says it's required, no thanks.

Baconnaise(06:44 AM CEST - May,22 2013 )
What has you worried about the Kinect portion?

Majnun(11:15 AM CEST - May,22 2013 )
Well the kinect thing isn't so much a worry as an I just don't want to deal with it.

I'm sure it works just fine and I'd probably get used to it, I'd just rather use the controller (or at least be able to) if I don't feel like speaking sign language to my TV to get it to work.

Yea I saw all the videos and articles over this thing. E3 better be different because as of now this console might be in the shitter. Why would someone get it for the TV features when it's not better than a 360 at this point?
