Next Gen Xbox Reveal Confirmed for May 21

I'm swamped at work but is Halo 5 still a launch title? I really don't plan on getting this until halo 5 drops.
 
I'm nervous about the DLing the game to HD thing.

I'd imagine the HD to fill up if you have a lot of games ...
 
It all really boils down to the E3 on who is going to get the most hype. I'm rooting for Sony. But since I'm not longer a poor college student. I'm copping both.

There’s one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console’s hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.

Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.

What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.

Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.

But what if a second person simply wanted to put the disc in and play the game without installing – and without paying extra? In other words, what happens to our traditional concept of a “used game”? This is a question for which Microsoft did not yet have an answer, and is surely something that game buyers (as well as renters and lenders) will want to know.

And what of the persistent rumors that Xbox One games will be “always online” – that is, that single-player games would require a constant online connection to function? As it turns out, those rumors were not unfounded, but the reality is not so draconian. Xbox One will give game developers the ability to create games that use Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing service, which means that they might be able to offload certain computing tasks to the cloud rather than process them on the Xbox One hardware itself. This would necessitate the game requiring a connection.

Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but “I hope they do.” So the always-online future may come in incremental steps.

It explains EA's and MS special partnership after EA killed online passes

I know. Esp. with Sony rocking a 28nm and a more than 50% more powerful GPU. There were all those rumors about the dual GPU but that was never true.

Wow 50%, thought it was only 30 percent more powerful.

Also with this thing running 3 OS', how much RAM is dedicated to them if you know?
 
One will be weaker, but also marginally cheaper.

The PS3 was stronger than the 360 right? People still bought the 360.

real talk tho... if Ps4 allows Used games like we've always played Used games while the xbox One doesn't... doesn't that mean we already know the winner of this Next-Gen Console war?

How the hell did you figure that... they didn't even show the ******g system nor any in game gameplay just cutscenes like every other company.

System reveal wise - M$ > Sony... ten fold.

No you must have... system reveal... without showing the actual system... don't let you fanboy way get in the way of clear and precise judgement.

Again... better console reveal... keyword here being reveal... dismiss yourself peasant!
 
Yall dudes complaining about the price but drop $500 on a new iPad and $200 on a iPhone EVERY YEAR. And those are for low GB versions.

The winner of a console war does not boil down to its ability to play used games.
 
The real question: if me and my brother share a system but have two different xbl accounts... Could he play the game with his account?
