I'm also annoyed about this f smart glass thing. I have a decent smart phone for about 2 years i think, its sony xperia Pro. I especially chose this phone over the millions of other smart phones because it has a HD camera, slide out QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen + everything else. Hardly any smart phones have a real keyboard which is nice for Instant messaging, emails and games , dont like touch screen control much. Anyway The stupid smart glass app doesnt work on my android phone, it is android 4 too, the good version, says the screen isn't high enough res, which is bs really because its 850 x 450 and does HD video recording. I tried instaling the apk file and still doesnt work. I can run the usual My Xbox Live App but not smart glass. I get the 'could not parse' message when tryin to install. This is annoying because i really want to be able to use smart glass on my current xbox 360 for youtube, and browsing dashboard but cannot launch on my phone.
So making all these Smart glass only features is immensly annoying. I don't want to buy a new phone yet and not for a long time. I have considered a graphics tablet such as a Wacom for design work but i doubt they run Apps. Seeing Dead Rising 3 has Smart glass only missions is a big **** off. They should have had an on screen phone pop up for people who dont have damn smart glass. This is gonna be annoying if every game on Xbox One has some kind of Smart Glass / Kinnect integration. i don't want to wave my controller about to push zombies off me. I don't want to hold my phone in one hand and my controller in the other. I already have to keep an eye on my phone for other messages and now i'm expected to be in and out of another app,. using more battery and everything, and causing more lag probaly.
I want a 'controller' only version available. Sorry for the rant but i am a big zombie fan and would like to play this Dead Rising 3 if I do get the xbox one , which i am Not definete, still considering both consoles, but since microsoft have changed due to feedback this means i am more likely to get xbox for the better service and everything. I can easily block the camera and microphone from recording, i am not bothered about the spying potential, everything is spied upon anyway. Block camera vision and im not bothered if they hear me.
