[Xbox One]: The Once and Future Console

The Xbox is a home video game console and the first installment in the Xbox series of consoles manufactured by Microsoft. It was released on November 15, 2001, in North America, followed by Australia and Europe in 2002.[2] It was Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market. The sixth-generation console competed with Sony's PlayStation 2, Sega's Dreamcast, and the Nintendo GameCube. It was the first console produced by an American company since the Atari Jaguar ceased production in 1996.
Moving away from the Xbox 360's PowerPC-based architecture—back to the x86 architecture used in the original Xbox—the console features an Advanced Micro Devices processor built around the x86-64 instruction set. The Xbox One places an increased emphasis on cloud computing and entertainment integration, offering the ability to overlay live television programming from an existing set-top box with an enhanced program guide, split-screen multitasking of applications, and improved second-screen support. The console optionally includes an upgraded Kinect sensor, providing richer motion tracking and voice recognition for use in its graphical user interface (GUI) and games. The Xbox One also offers the ability for users to record and share highlights from or live-stream gameplay. The console's controller was refined over that of the Xbox 360, with a redesigned D-pad and triggers capable of delivering directional haptic feedback.
Xbox's successor, the Xbox 360, was launched in November 2005. The Xbox was soon discontinued beginning with Microsoft's worst-performing market, Japan, in 2005. Other countries would follow suit in 2006.[8] The last Xbox game in Europe was Xiaolin Showdown released in June 2007, and the last game in North America was Madden NFL 09 released in August 2008. Support for out-of-warranty Xbox consoles was discontinued on March 2, 2009. Support for Xbox Live on the console ended on April 15, 2010.[6]
Xbox One games are distributed at retail on Blu-ray Disc, and digitally as downloads through Xbox Games Store.[110][111] All Xbox One games must be installed on the console's storage: users can begin to play portions of a game (such as opening levels) once the installation or download reaches a specific point, while the remainder of the game is downloaded or installed in the background. Updates to games and system software are also downloaded in the background and while in standby.[124] If the game is installed from physical media, the disc is still required for validation purposes.[125] If the game is installed on another console, and that console owner no longer has access to the disc, the owner has the option of unlocking the install on their hard drive by purchasing it through Xbox Live; the installed game then acts as a game installed on the hard drive.[125] An active internet connection may be required for some games, particularly those that integrate cloud computing.[125]
Xbox One's user interface is modeled on Metro design language. Similarly to Windows 8, its dashboard consists of a tile-based interface sorted into categories, including "Pinned" apps and games, a "Home" section for currently active, and recently used software, a "Friends" tab showing recent activity, online users, and a Gamerscore leaderboard, and a "Store" tab serves as a consolidated portal to the games, movies, music, and app marketplaces. Apps can be snapped to the side of the screen as a form of multitasking.[91][92][93] The Activity Feed allows users to view their friends' in-game activities, videos, and post status updates. Users can "like" and comment on other users' status updates.[94]

Hurr hurr hurr
My gamertag is Moriveth if anyone cares to friend me on it
the other day he asked me when the new one was coming out so I propped his copy of unity right up next to the tv so he'd have to stare at it every time he watched tv
Fucking CASUALS, ugh
but that might definitely be because I never got super huge into halo
Cause if it was a choice I think it's a super smart one
I can't even recall much swearing or anything in Halo.
I am legit excited about the DVR functionality, which is dumb because I won't use it, but one of these days I'm going to get the tv tuner and run my antenna through it anyway because I am a dork. A cord-cutting dork.
Not cause I want to or am interested in the features
But because my TV is out of HDMI ports
This does DVR NOW! SINCE WHEN! man I am out of the loop.
I'll hit you up on da xboner though.
but they're listening to every word I say
I heard people didn't like the Scalebound trailer, I'm not sure why but I can tell you that I am for damn sure buying it.
The numbers come out of guys when you hit them!
In the meantime I might grab an old 360 so I can play all of the games I already have for it
i think my tag is "The Betman", but i'll check again when i get home because i can't remember if i have the space in it or not.

I'm gonna pick up Rare Replay when my Xbox shows up and borrow Dead Rising 3 and Sunset Overdrive from a friend
Plus it comes with the Master Chief Collection

I am an enormous Platinum fan and will play whatever they put out (on the consoles I already own because I am not buying a WiiU for Bayonetta 2, sorry Bayonetta 2).
...maybe.
but they're listening to every word I say
but now I've got Dark Souls 2 and Shovel Knight and Dragonage for it and it's pretty good
I also got Project Cars but its unplayable without a wheel (and possible unplayable WITH a wheel)
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
but they're listening to every word I say

Looking forward to playing some Gears Remastered multiplayer in a few weeks.
