I look at games like ryse and I look at forza, I don't see anything better on the competing platform
Oh god!

So does Sess have all the info he needs to know yet?
Good interview, Albert seems like a good guy.
There are some good guys at MS, no doubt. But everytime I see Phil Spencer and Major Nelson's face, I want to punch them.
Let's not twist the words. He never really admitted it when he went on his car analogy. Then he noted that there will be no difference. My first post pointed that out.
Oh god!
I dont get the sessler accusations, thats some crap guys
You called Sessler a shill. If you watch the whole video I don't understand how anyone can come to the conclusion.
Sessler is all xbox all the time still wow
"We are going to put a Pause on that system" - said regarding the DRM. Yeah - maybe that year two potential Xbox purchase will never happen now (for me).
Oh god!
err I meant install. as in from cellophane covered disc to playing time. I hope it's under 2 minutes. seconds seems a little far fetched.
He was talking about graphics. It's all subjective really but I think Forza 5 looks just as good as Driveclub, and a lot of people think Ryse is the best looking game so far on either system, even though I personally disagree.
He's not totally wrong.
IAre you putting words in my mouth? Think before you post and don't let yourself get rattled by the conversation. I guess I should have praised everything about this then I might not have got the response from you that I read.
Summary:
*"We want to make an awesome next-gen box that will make the Xbox 360 immediately outdated."
*Xbox One Instant switching experience -- a way to modernize gaming.
*All games are loaded to hard drive; faster. Can play game before it's fully installed.
*"Loading screens will probably be up to the developer." -- But they overall want to see it reduced and/or gone.
*"(Sony's) doing things in their hardware to make it best that they can. We're doing things to our hardware to make it the best that we can. I don't believe the difference between these systems will be as significant as comparing individual components. How is it that a 400 HP Porsche can be faster than a 700 HP Corvette?" -- Overall it's balance and trade offs and it'll come down to the games.
*Putting something in/on the box = adoption. Developers ask questions involving support when you don't put it the feature in/on the box.
*Kinect Features: More face recognition, more precision. Not have to worry about what controller you're holding and/or what side of the screen you're on during local multiplayer gaming sessions. Multiple users logged in at one time. Instant unique profile & saved game loading based on kinect recognition. We got to prove that (this) is worth it to the gamers.
*Some people don't fully know the features we are giving -- "Are you looking at the info we publish about our system?" People aren't doing that.
*If we could redo one thing, it would be giving the system's features a better translation. I think with time that people are/we continue to understand what we are trying to do. We want to give people a better digital experience in comparison to iOS & Steam. There's a certain point though in which you have to listen to the consumers and give them what they want. We'll see if the features we introduced pre-180 (e.g.: family sharing) will come back...
*We put the hooks in place for special digital download offers. It's up to how things go as well as what the publishers want.
I replied to teiresias then you replied to my post. In retrospect I have no idea what you are talking about.
My only point in this thread is sessler clearly isn't shilling for MS.
I'm glad to see Sessler didn't do a fluff interview. He did ask some serious questions.
Albert isn't being totally honest when he says "we looked at what Steam was doing". No, you didn't. Steam does not have a 24 hour DRM check. That was the single biggest reason people got upset about your plans.
So MS still thinks that we misunderstood their initial DRM policies? Ok, good to know.
Every single thread with his name without fail.What the fuck is this shit.

I never called anyone a shill though. I have every idea of what that implies. That's why I said, don't put words in my mouth. I don't think Adam is shilling. You should now know what I'm talking about.
Doesn't it install as you're playing? Like Arkham Asylum on PS3.
Fair enough. I thought you were the person I initial replied to. I got a little confused. Mea culpa.
Finally someone asks about load times! Thank you adam, my hero. Also this guy does a fantastic job actually selling the console. Looking how mishandled microsoft handled the whole thing this guy seems to be doing a fantastic job. Still never going to buy it though (don't trust them to not turn the drm back on)
DRM will no doubt return, its their vision, MS have just managed to dupe people so far or those pre-ordering are happy with DRM
Steam also doesn't support resale of disc-based Steamworks games. That was likely the only reason for the 24 hour check in, since if it was 100% digital downloads, or discs with no resale capability, no check-in would be needed (like every other digital service, including Microsoft's digital games on Xbox 360). Microsoft's problem was that they tried to still support the Gamestop disc trade-in audience, while also supporting the "you can play games without the disc inside" functionality. A textbook example of trying to please everyone, but ending up just pissing off everybody.
wtf are you guys on about with sessler, he doesnt have some pro-xbox demeanor.

So in theory if Sessler was talking to somebody from Sony or Nintendo about their consoles and games, he was shilling for them too?
Intelligence? Maturity?
inb4 you all point and laugh at my naivete.
There's actually quite a bit of people here on GAF that have noted that, it's not that far out of an opinion, it does look stunning visually at least.Who thinks that?

The same story with Kinect. You've got some cute and small improvements for UI related stuff, controller recognition, etc. And THAT justifies an extra $100 cost?.
