XboxONE + Halo TV series!

Aside from being just about the worst name ever, I was pretty excited for the console reveal.

 

Until people started attacking it and insisting Sony's better in the three other places I was talking about it during the reveal. Even though I never tried to bring up any of that console war idiocy. Then of course they get mad at me for trying to defend things or tell them to take it elsewhere or whatever... but yeah, oh well.

 

Don't care about the EA sports games (at all) or Forza 5. Quantum Break sounded pretty cool, and getting 8 new franchises next year has me excited. And I hate to admit it, but the CoD: Ghosts talk actually had me somewhat interested, with the new engine touted and emphasis on campaign.

 

And the hardware sounds pretty decent. It sounded like they mentioned built-in video recording, which I'm very much looking forward to.

 

Oh, they did spend way too much time talking about using your gaming console to watch television, though... Too many features, not enough focus.

 

I'm definitely looking forward to E3 for bigger game reveals. But also for them to hopefully address the always-online rumor, which was not even alluded to here. (Current reports are saying after the conference, Microsoft confirmed the rumor false.) And of course the new no-used game rumor started today alongside the reveal... It doesn't affect me any since I only buy new games, but of course I understand why many would be concerned. Especially since the rumor says it ties games to an account, not even a single system.

 

EDIT:

 

And how did I forget this?! (Thanks Valenti :3) THERE'S GOING TO BE A LIVE ACTION HALO TV SERIES BY STEVEN SPIELBERG. EEEEEHHHHHHHHHH! :D

AND the used game fee/linking games to an Xbox Live account has been confirmed true.

 

Still not clear if this means even being on the same console won't work (which would be RIDICULOUS), but WOW that is BAD.

 

I will say I understand it, though. Within the industry, used games are a bad thing. I get it.

 

Most consumers won't, and this is not going to go over well as a result.

I just love the initial backlash that I swear is nearly identical to the PS4 reveal. Now people are acting like Sony is the most incredible developer ever and Microsoft doesn't know what they are doing. Can't wait for that viewpoint to flip flop back and forth wildly throughout the coming year like it always does.

Still a Nintendo fan at heart. Even putting aside any of the issues with used games or online requirements, this announcement didn't do much to persuade someone who is no good at FPS's, who has at best an antipathy toward sports, and who has never been fully convinced by Xbox Live as a networking platform.

 

The Halo TV series does sound cool, though. It'd allow people like myself who are generally bad at that sort of game to experience the story.

 

And regardless of what anyone says, it's a classy-looking console.
