Legend_in_blue Posted 19 February 2013 Posted 19 February 2013 Regardless of whether the next Xbox is inferior to the ps4 or not, it'll still do better. Sony have cocked up and have a huge gap to make up.
Foxhateram Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Looking at specs of the console I'm not sure that step up is going to be huge. Yer the processing power is good and the graphics card is more powerful than the ps3 but in terms of a PC the specs are nothing special at all. The price MUST reflect that. Apparently the ps3 will have Kinect like sensors available in a new eye and move sensors in the controllers. Something about it that doesn't quite get me as hyped as the ps3 did. Just not sure the difference will be as big.
Haydos Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Well it's official, the next playstation isnt going to stop you playing second hand games, but the next xbox is. Also hearing the next xbox wont work unless you have a kinect plugged into it. I know which one im buying now! Bullshit.
MrSpaM Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 Bullshit. You'll see! The kinect thing has been doing the rounds a couple of days now, they are trying to turn the xbox into the new Wii, the family console. The second hand games thing as well, sony have announced the ps4 is going to allow second hand games, currently microsoft arnt saying wether they are or not, which is making everybody think they are pushing for less second hand game sales. Just google it if you dont believe me, this stuffs been doing the rounds for the past week. This big Playstation announcement is at 9PM GMT today, they are showing the whole event live on IGN from 8PM, hopefully we'll at least get some next gen game reveals.

I just want a link that says that the XBox will not be compatible with 2nd hand games. If it turns out to be true it is suicide. No way it'll happen to one and not the other.

Make of it what you will http://www.techradar...-report-1057564 http://www.wired.co....x-720-games-drm http://www.dailymail...ideo-games.html It's nothing concrete, but it certainly looks like Microsoft are trying to push it, whereas Sony have officially announced this wont be the case on their system.
Amin Posted 20 February 2013 Posted 20 February 2013 This article details the whole kinect thing: http://kotaku.com/5982986/we-know-all-about-the-next-xbox-from-someone-who-says-theyve-got-one It's worth noting that the kinect add-on will be included with the new Xbox in the packaging. The main concern would be privacy I suppose. Also, what would happen if your particular kinect system broke? It's also worth noting that this hasn't been confirmed by Microsoft.

Fair dues. Has this all come from them patenting something last month? I've heard different bits and bobs. I'll believe it when it's official, I think (and obviously so does everyone) they would lose a substantial amount of customers if it were to go ahead. It really depends on features and how they manage them really. I'm all for a media centre but with the latest changes to the XBox 360 dashboard and still having to pay for a gold membership to use stuff like sky/netflix, it doesn't look great for them.

morris1234 Posted 21 February 2013 Posted 21 February 2013 Only joking of course, is it same developers as motor storm ? If so it should be good
Guest Posted 21 February 2013 Posted 21 February 2013 These all look fvcking ridiculous, can see this costing me absolutely shedloads
whoareyaaa Posted 21 February 2013 Posted 21 February 2013 Wonder if Rockstar will make an apperance they must be pissed if this is out a xmas.
morris1234 Posted 21 February 2013 Posted 21 February 2013 Omg how does that even work?? I understand the moving of the characters with the wind but surely if the possibilities to what you can create are endless then there aren't enough buttons or button assignments in the world...??? I don't get how it can pick up the instrument or play those notes etc etc its a bit mind boggling?
