Xbox Reveal Summary - Xbox One

Howdy folks!

Literally only finished 10 minutes ago, here's my summary of the main parts of the Reveal. My notes are short and I couldn't get all the specifics down but here's a quick way to breeze through it all.

Introducing the Xbox One!
-Sleeker and more interactive controller: can interact with games
-Faster and better console, 8 GB RAM, 500GB Hard drive, also the added feature of Blu-Ray
-Kinect is 10X better, extremely fast. Voice and face recognition improved greatly. 


-The ability to interact with all your electronics. Can turn on your TV and Xbox by simply saying "Xbox On". Using the Kinect is much more promoted, it's quicker than using a remote control and simpler. Windows within windows can be used - You are able to play a game within another game, or play a game while watching a movie while looking up things using Internet Explorer.
Sports are heavily promoted as well as Fantasy Leagues. By morning, one attempt to be funny will be the latest buzz word - "DOMINATE!"

-300'000 Serves for the Xbox One, this might be near-lagless gameplay
-EA Ignite - New Engine, amazing graphics for a beta form.
"More new inovative games than ever before"
-Forza 5 Available on Launch.
-Quantum Break - TV Like Game with stunning visuals
15 Exclusives to Xbox in the next year, 8 brand new titles

Side note: Bonnie Ross - WOW.

-343 Industries has announced The Halo Television Series directed by Steven Spielberg
-NFL is now exclusively on Xbox.
-Xbox One Worldwide Launch "Later This Year" - more news at E3.
-All of future COD DLC will exclusively come out first on Xbox One
-COD Ghosts plotline Summary - America's military is destroyed, GHOSTS are the last of the military, fighting for "what can't die"
-Dogs become squad members; can smell enemies and sense landmines
-Graphics look great but I'm still skeptical - It's like Black Ops and Battlefield had a baby. Mantle over objects, peek around corners and cover ect.
-MP has Environmental issues (Earthquakes are the only one confirmed) and character involved traps (Shows large metal pipes falling)
-Character customisation - Head to foot, colours, facial features.
-Updated graphics are far superior to MW3, but look too simular too. Game Devs promised to have a classic feel to the game.
-Trailer was amazing and much more compelling, definitely worth a look at.

*UPDATE: This part will be updated as more news comes in for the rest of the week*
-Xbox Live accounts can have up to 1000 Friends
-Xbox One will enable customers to trade in and resell games at retail, no specifics as of yet
-New Crackdown game is making its way to Xbox One
-Xbox One will not work unless Kinect is plugged in.
-The "Back" button on the controller is replaced with "View", while there are now more vibration motors installed, including inside the triggers. Easier to use buttons and triggers (push sensitive)
-Many of the announced Apps, such as TV snapping, won't be available to players outside the US on launch day.


That pretty much sums it up! It's 4:30am, I'm going to bed.
Much love to you all!

    1. Indeed, everything they showed was great but a release date would have been nicer. XD
