Nextbox hype/disappointment station

notbov · Joined: 14 Feb 2009

so, Microsoft shows off The NEXT Xbox 720 Infinity in an hour. pre-show shows have already started because hype.

(I mostly made this to keep the crap out of the news thread and also we can spam the shit out of this mid-unveiling)

afaik, GameTrailers/Spike TV is the official stream/Doritos and Mountain Dew place to watch, but every game site with a pulse is doing something and I'm too lazy to find links for other stuff

I guess post predictions and shit until the main show begins and how many Halos and CoDs we'll see

If PS4 conference is anything to go by it will be slightly better then expected but ultimately pretty disappointing.

I'm definitely expecting some Twitch integration, I just not sure to what level it's going to be and if it's something that was planned all along or if it's a kneejerk response to what Sony showed off

also, the actual box, because Major Nelson gave Sony shit for that

I'm expecting something slightly worse than PS4; vaguely interesting but not really relevant to me

the Xbox app for the Xbox reveal is showing squares fading in and out, in a way that resembles Windows 8

perhaps our worst fears have been realized

and I think I heard some Japanese during that montage. I guess they haven't given up on that yet

Why would you have other devices if the xbox can do everything?

Oops, guess I was 20 minutes behind on the stream somehow! People cheering wildly over a feature that's been present in smartphones for how many years now?

i really like the deeply spiritual numerology going on with the naming schemes of the xbox's various incarnations

hoping we get an Xbox Trinity at some point

So if you don't subscribe to cable all of this TV stuff is useless, right? They do realize people are finally ditching cable and on demand/a la carte is the inevitable future (during this console generation), right?

So I started watching this, but then I decided that I'm going to make judgments about this thing based on the comments here.

So Felix, how much asphyxiation are we talking here?

just for the record, the 360 is a pretty shitty cable box because if it has to do it over IP, and I have no doubts the One will be any different
