After months of speculation and rumors, Microsoft detailed its next generation console ? the Xbox One ? to a packed room in Redmond, Wash., Tuesday.

 

The Xbox One, described by Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business for Microsoft, was designed and built "as an all-in-one system to align games, TV and entertainment."

Although i should be studying, ill try and summarize everything we know.

 

Hardware

 

  • 500 GB HDD
  • 8 Gigs of RAM
  • Blu Ray
  • Wi-Fi

 

Features

  • New Kinect, needed to function Xbox One
  • Newer, sleeker controller
  • Runs on a version of Windows 8?
  • Game Recording available
  • some sort of DVR like device
  • Live TV, lots of entertainment
  • ESPN, Skype, and a few other apps
     

 

Games

  • EA is partnering with Microsoft, shows off new sport games
  • FIFA 14, NBA LIVE, New Madden, UFC
  • Call of Duty Ghosts, what a shocker
  • A new Halo TV show directed by Steven Spielberg
  • Forza 5, available on Launch
  • No backwards compatibility as of yet, but an add-on device for that is rumored to be out there
  • No always on internet
  • Games are DLed to HDD, are connected to your profile
  • In order to connect a game to another profile, a fee must me paid (unknown $$$). Possible used game retaliation?

 

 

Might add more after my final, depending on what we get.

That's kind of bullshit. What if you bring a game to a friend/relative's?

Most likely you would have to use the cloud and download your profile to that persons Xbox. Then you would be able to play whatever game you brought.

I wonder what this EA relationship means. I really only use my PS3 for NHL, so would I be getting a shittier version of the game if I don't get it on the Xbox One?

 

Not sure exactly how NHL will relate to the EA relationship. EA is pushing FIFA and Madden real hard, so its possible NHL will stay the same.
