  • I'm watching an XBOX special on Spike right now. They just revealed the XBOX ONE, which looks pretty cool.

    It doesn't look like a gaming console anymore. It looks like a hard-edged box, like a receiver or a first-gen VCR before people started the curved edged designs.

    The kinect looks a lot bulkier, too, and for the purists, it looks like the controller is still the same.

    Right now, the guy is featuring the interface. "XBOX on," to turn it on. "XBOX TV," to make it play TV. "XBOX game. Go to TV. Play Music. Go to Internet Explorer. Watch TV." Apparently is has a rather decent "Instant Switching" mechanism that looks really fast, and just pops up whatever you want. It's very Star Trek, but instead of saying "Computer," you're saying "XBOX."

    "Xbox Snap Skype," splits the screen in half, leaving your original window open, but opens a second window next to it with Skype or whatever. Sounds like a Windows phone.

    I'm sure it's all simulated for the purposes of exhibition, a la lip-syncing, but it looks kinda cool.

    I'll post again once they talk about developing. *IF* they talk about it.

  • Does it play games? <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

       it's nuts, i might play it.

       THE FLOODED STREETS... wow.

    Sorry guys, no Dev talk. Pretty disappointing. But still, what do you guys thinks about these specs? Not too shabby. I think if the designers could learn how to make the model's eyes squint some, they'd be indistinguishable from reality... well, aside from the impossible camera angles which totally break the illusion.

    You and me both. But I'd still go play the new Call of Duty at a friend's house. I hope they talk about Devs at E3, because this reveal wasn't that awesome.

    Power to the indies!

  • Did anyone catch the mention of "Web powered applications"? I think it's highly likely Xbox One will be HTML5 compatible.

    Sweet, glad you caught that!

  • The XBONE (yes, this is what we're calling it) is not a gaming console anymore, it's a multimedia center.

  • That's exciting! Keep this thread updated about possible HTML5 support.

    Somehow I doubt there will be webGL ;)

  • sqiddster

    No they wont add webgl because of security reasons.

    Obviously voice command listening all the time poses no risk what so ever...<sarcasm/>

  • Try Construct 3

    Security reasons, aka we don't care about you little developer

  • lol vcr is trending on twitter

  • To me it looks like an anonymous piece of hardware from an IT department. Still, I guess maybe they want it to have a low profile in the living room.

    I guess we don't know about HTML5, but I think there's a fair chance it might support it, since Windows 8 does already. It might even have WebGL, since the leaked IE11 supported it.

    Sony's stock has jumped on the announcement, heh!

  • Not surprising :D This Xbox One sounds very casual oriented. Kinect integrated, multimedia features... Right now I don't really like this new direction from Microsoft. But the html5 support, if it's official, is a good thing.

  • Well while I'm glad we are as a society moving towards a single TV hardware. I find that overall the hardware is still focusing on value of hardware power. Feels like MS is guessing what will be mass market rather than understanding mass market.

    I guess we will see how market reacts. personally I think this will sell less than the 360. Though my favourite parts on the Kinect and Vocal. I wish they would toss the classic controller in favour of a better design.
