I don't know, based on Windows Phone 8 I don't see why it couldn't, but then Surface RT is a thing.

But Windows 8 doesn't do the things mentioned here, not with all the Live TV stuff anyway.



This bit was funny. Is there no Channel 13?

[Pungza]

Needs more ram, the only cure

 

[lostones]

Of course its not ready yet they said it themselves. At least they showed what the os may be unlike Sony.

 

[Guevara]

"cool let's DVR it"

"Oh no, the Xbone can't do that"

 

[Takuya]

Xbox Choppy.

#xboned

Thanks! Adding to Op.

 

[McLovin]

I thought the call was faked. Didn't even occur to me that the whole thing was faked. That's some Killzone 2 - Motorstorm level stuff mang.

 

[ypo]

Not enough infinite Cloudz. Could've been infinite power x beyond infinite.

 

[tfur]

Still cannot believe they would use the action words:

"xbone,... Go home"

 

[fallagin]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fuck I love these completely logical posts amidst the wave of posters looking for shit to hate on because its in vogue.

Lets be honest here though. How often does software become 100% better than its demo version?

They could probably improve it over the course of the systems life, but I don't really expect it to become the levels that we saw at the conference in 6 months.

"monday night football is about to start and I have no idea what my ESPN channel is. What can I do?"

the daily struggles of modern man

Before XBone I would just cry and give up ever figuring out how to ESPN

Now I don't even need them numbers

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

lol I watched the wired video.

good luck playing a game, watching a tv show and trying to Skype. The system looked like was was chugging just trying to snap a small window over the UI.

they have a lot of work to do.

It is also incredibly disingenuous of them to fake the entire presentation.

Did they really have a choice? If they showed that early build on stage the bad publicity would be 10x worse than it is right now. An absolute gif shitstorm. They made the right choice.

 

[jet1911]

Unfinished software act like unfinished software. Who would've thought.

 

[watership]

The end of the video does say its an early build.

This will be the most ignored post in this soon to be huge thread.

 

[QaaQer]

Is it false advertisement if the final product will be what they presented?

You cannot fake a demo in an ad and tell people it was real, period.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[McLovin]

Of course its not ready yet they said it themselves. At least they showed what the os may be unlike Sony.

Did you even watch the Sony event?

 

[SneakyStephan]

talk about false advertising (the choppyness)

Also lowered expectations, normally when you demo something it is expected to be real, unless you are microsoft apparently.

 

[EGM1966]

does it play used blu-rays?

I applaud thee.

 

[Xilium]

The stage demo being fake is no surprise but I would honestly think they would have their OS running more smoothly if they're willing to show it off. I would just expect some features/services to not work yet.

 

[Plywood]

Kind of expected tbh, you don't want software that's still being developed to fuck up in the middle of a presentation.

 

[derFeef]

lol people are making gifs, i'm out.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

she even says that was from a 7month old build.



she put it onto a random channel to show you how you can call espn. She was on espn before so she needed to change the channel first.

Don't say that here! You'll invalidate all the negative posts.

 

[Toki767]

Did they really have a choice? If they showed that early build on stage the bad publicity would be 10x worse than it is right now. An absolute gif shitstorm. They made the right choice.

They could have just shown games and done the TV stuff when it was actually working.

 

[Guevara]

"see how fast that is"

 

[TheJollyCorner]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fuck I love these completely logical posts amidst the wave of posters looking for shit to hate on because its in vogue.

there's an interesting air of desperation in the all CAPS laughing it seems.

 

[twobear]

But Windows 8 doesn't do the things mentioned here, not with all the Live TV stuff anyway.

I dont follow why live TV would pose extra difficulties? I can do it on my MBP no problem.

 

[Servbot24]

Didn't look that bad to me, especially if it really is an early build. Of course it was never going to have instant response.

 

[DecoyOctopus]

 

[NullPointer]

Is it false advertisement if the final product will be what they presented?

Only if the final product isn't actually a false advertisement itself.

/shamalamayalalamaylayamalaya-twist

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol I aint even surprised.

 

[Sandy Nipples]

Why do they always send in small women when things fuck out completely? This some kind of PR spindoctor voodoo stuff?

 

[UrbanRats]

Doesn't look very sexy, but i guess it'll get fixed by release.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

WiiU owners seemed pretty fine with it.

There were plenty of complaints about the terrible load times on the Wii U, there is no need to rewrite history.

 

[Xav]

Can't tell if that's a jpeg or an actual gif of the Xbox One running.

 

[Delusibeta]

While on the one hand, it's not finished, the small fact that it's so bad with less than six months to go is not a good sign.

 

[nib95]

This GIF is better lol.

 

[Magnus]

It's almost like the console isn't out yet.

It's still a little embarrassing, and it's probably not smart to allow video like that out to your target audience, us, who they must know will pick it apart and come to unfavourable conclusions, whether well-founded or not.

 

[McLovin]

You guys are over reacting, all she had to say was,"Xbox use the power of the cloud" for a 1000% improvement.

 

[Leonsito]

People really expect live demos in conferences like this? I hope you are never in charge of doing a presentation-demo of software for a client.

 

[Takuya]

This GIF is better lol.

Changed it

 

[les papillons sexuels]

While on the one hand, it's not finished, the small fact that it's so bad with less than six months to go is not a good sign.

it's a 7 month old build.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Jesus, that's just embarrassing. How on earth can it be so choppy with 3GB reserved for powering this mess?

 

[Amir0x]

Of course its not ready yet they said it themselves. At least they showed what the os may be unlike Sony.

I wish they showed the OS too!

 

[captscience]

What is surprising is that they started work on the Xbox OS back in November 2012 ("we've come a long way in seven months.") which means they'll have barely a year to have the Xbox OS done. Is that a standard amount of time for a console OS or does that seem really short to anyone else? Especially an OS as complex as this one?

I think that was just an inelegant sentence. "We've come a long way, in seven months when we ship, you won't believe......."

What's HIX?

He's calling out a poster for believing that Microsofts $1 billion investment in 1st Party will make the road difficult for Sony.

 

[Durante]

I can certainly see the argument that it's not done yet -- I know how software development works.

However, focusing so much on the responsiveness of your interface during a presentation that is entirely faked is a bit rich.

 

[tfur]

talk about false advertising

Don't worry! There will be a bunch of people dancing around and spinning. It will be really snappy and energetic.

 

[something fishy]

MS marketing in a nutshell.

Console marketing.

Though it seems folks are very ready to assume the worst and that there is no way it can improve or how recent it was.

 

[fse]

I think the 3 OS thing is bad idea.

 

[Liamario]

I doubt anyone is surprised that the presentation was faked. It's when they imply that what you were seeing is an actual build, that people get pissed about. They're selling the console based on a half truth and that's just not cricket.

 

[godhandiscen]

As confident as you were about the hardware specs being vastly improved?

I really don't know what you are talking about.
