I haven't decided anything so far but I believe that the combination of Kinect 2 (if it works now as intended) and a VR goggle (like the Oculus Rift for example) would be the Next Gen innovation for gameplay that everyone is expecting. The combination of Motion Tracker and VR goggle allows for example to push "real" buttons in a Cockpit Shooter. I really want this to happen. Therefore I think I will stick to the Xbone!

Pretty sure this is the Konsensus.

If I were you, I wouldn't be so optimist. Kinect 2 has the same problems of Kinect 1, latency problems, inacurate reading of movements and simply controling the game with a traditional controller is way easier and less annoying. Just a tip: You can use Oculus Rift with a PC as well and actually use a proper control method instead of flailing your arms around and getting tired in 10 min for no reason.

More like a 30 second unskippable ad for Doritos every time you launch a game. And you paid for the game. And you pay monthly for the service.

 

[Gord]

And you will still have idiots defending it, because "you can just leave the room" (inb4 Kinect checking that you are watching the screen before lanching the ad, though) or "ads don't affect them anyway, so who cares about watching them" and "leave poor publishers alone, they just want to make some money and this will totally help them make better corridor shooters games".

So .. emulator in like 2,3 years?

Who needs an XBO emulator when MS is going to port all their games to PC themselves anyay? Why do you think they hired the former Valve Steam Manager?

Dunno, Microsoft works in mysterious ways.

Why do you think they hired the former Valve Steam Manager?

Well not for porting games to PC that's for sure. More like so they can improve their shitty Xbox Live. MS still rides the console exclusive train.

No, they said they're working on their own PC client, A'la Steam or Origin. Shutting down GfWL was part of that plan, to come out later with a new and invigorated PC push.

Well, whether they'll succeed is another story. But more PC games is always good.

You mean like these?

Or did you have games like these in mind:

Because I'd argue that in both cases more PC games are not good.

I'd argue that making a shit XBO --> PC port is pretty much impossible. The XBO, after all, is pretty much a PC. It even runs DX11 natively.

I can't wait until the flood of poorly ported shit streams onto PC.....

There's a big difference between a decent port and a 100% clone, look at Dark Souls. The game is identical with the console version (even better with the fan fixes) and it's still far away from being a decent port.

It's generally thought that they will be integrating the Xbox network directly into Windows 8.x and simply use the Windows Store instead. Effectively, pull an Internet Explorer.
