I'm not an Xbox fan by any means but I'd just like to say that the idea of charging a fee for used games is probably the most unfortunate gaming related thing I've ever heard. I'm not currently sold but that can change.
Its just like PC already has with Steam and just like EA already has with online passes. As crap as it is, you could still play games at your friends houses by signing in which seems to be peoples main complaint. As Gamestation closed down in my town, i've not traded games in for a couple years and usually buy games new so this doesnt effect me, however i grew up buying 2nd hand games and trading in old consoles (wish i hadnt now) so i can see the point
Anyway, i am looking forward to the new consoles, its been such a shame some of the games have been so inferior and designed around low tech for examples Skyrim and Battlefield 3 looked almost photorealistic on top end PCs but look very average on current xbox 360.
Im looking forward to the bigger online battles and persistant worlds. State of Decay will hopefully have an online massive multiplayer sequel next gen which would be a bit like Day Z. Ive never had the chance to play huge pc games or games with this much graphical detail and not only graphics but things like more going on in the worlds and huge open levels. So i would be looking forward to next gen consoles, probaly wont get it straight away though, I'll be waiting for Gears of War announcement from Epic games, or a big shooter from Epic, a new Fallout/Elder Scrolls and a new Resident evil / original new zombie game.
Onto the negative side- I dont think I'll get the new console until those sort of games are announced, i dont care for all the TV, i only watch the walking dead and occasional stand up comedy on you tube, i dont need Sky or any other crap they want to force onto me, Also kinnect is a load of over priced crap, i'd rather have a cheaper non kinnect version than all this. Also the controller looks bad, looks like a over sized heavy weight version of the current one, and i want wired not wireless Why would i want vibration IN THE ANALOG Stick. That is retarded . I will be disabling that why would i want the sticks to shake even slightly when im tryin to precision aim?
Also What is this modern obssession with making everything wireless introducing extra lag into games where split seconds count. When he was talking about a 'wireless lag free environment' i laughed!
also the actual console looks like a f**king brick! I dont know how its so big and ugly, probaly the Kinnect crap boxed up. If they can make a Apple I Book Laptop that contains more power than the xbox one about 17mm slim i dont see why we end up with a 1980's VHS machine lookalike!
Anyway all in all in looks quite good, I will only get xbox over ps if they have a new gears of war on it, or a huge new zombie game, it is the game developers and the games that will swing it either way for me, i was dissapointed i chose xbox over ps3 when they broke so much and i had to have it replaced about 4 times.
but, in actuality if i had the Profit, i would definately no doubt get the PS4
