I was really excited for this article, or rather
I was really excited for what it was about, the famous new Xbox, the Xbox One.
Something that did bug me about the whole Xbox event was the way they avoided addressing
the current selection of games. The stuff they showed in the presentation was
all pre-rendered crap. You can't play cut scenes, you want to know what the
hard real aspects of the game really are, and Microsoft seems to have dodged
the bullet on this one. Another thing that is different is that with the new Xbox
you get a new device, like an upgraded Kinnect. This draws two questions: is Microsoft
trying to spy on us, and two, will it work? The Kinnect has been for all intensive
purposes: a cute toy. It is impractical for real gaming at its current
developed level, but hopefully the new Kinnect will be a little more practical.
I highly doubt it, but one can hope. The worst part about it is the misinformation
floating about used games. At first we were told that the new Xbox one would
not require a connection to the Internet, and that used games could be played
on the console. Now through an interview we can piece together that the Xbox
will need to be connected to the Internet to be checked at least once in a 24-hour
period, even if you are playing a first person shooter. This is total BS! I get
the piracy concerns, but there are gamers that do not have an adequate Internet
connection, and this will totally mess up your bandwidth!
