I can't tell if he's serious about the optical disk drive thing.

 

[Flowmoney]

I was hoping for some Japanese news but I guess none was to be expected.

 

[ZeroCDR]

$399 Xbone? Yes!
No optical drive? Nothx

 

[Raydeen]

Hopefully this Halo 2 will be the one that looked like this.

And not the watered down final version we ended up getting.

'bone with no optical drive and no kinect for £300 quid would do me nicely.

 

[Chance Hale]

What are the Japanese exclusives!

 

[redhood56]

If this is true then this is great! I will deffidentlly buy an xbox one this year!
EDIT: I will buy a $500 sku, not the one without an optical drive

 

[sn00zer]

I feel noting about the leaks :|

Guess I am not the targeted audience.

Nothing blew my mind....kind of expected everything....a new IP leak...now that would be great

 

[Toothless Spoon]

You freaking bitches Microsoft! 1TB Xbone! No freaking Halo 5 this year! Other stuff to scream about!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Any good Killer Instinct leaks?

 

[Chuck Norris]

Man MS is leaky as hell......pre announcement horrors to now....Sony seems like an armored tank in comparison

A disgruntled work place tends to leak. Sony were leaky as hell back when PS3 launched

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Any insight on current or canceled plans to get a Halo game on STEAM? IIRC Halo was one of the games included in the directory files that leaked and since then almost all of them have released.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Well, the leaks are something you'd expect them to do.

Its like Sony saying they're making Uncharted. Everyone was like "Duh!"

Its just good to know that good games are on the way in the first year of the console's life cycle. The future is going to be awesome.

 

[Willy Wanka]

1TB Xbox One will probably be when I 'jump in' but a cheaper bundle (eg. with Sunset Overdrive) and MS sorting out the external storage would probably convince me to get a normal box. Great news about another Crackdown.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Yeah, I just assumed friends from Harvard went to be people in the gaming industry that would pass him along info.

That's 100% what I assume is the case, to be honest. Again, I'm not shit-talking thuway. I absolutely believe thuway talks to people in the industry. I'm just saying he makes his real name and occupation public and it's clearly not in the industry. So it's second-hand stuff. Which is fine. Second-hand stuff is great. But it's a different thing than first-hand stuff and we treat it differently and I think that's fair and I hope everyone else would agree.

I can't tell if he's serious about the optical disk drive thing.

I read it as a sarcastic joke about how the price isn't going to get down very quickly, personally.

 

[D-Stubbs]

A new Forza Horizon this fall? Yes please.

 

[Plinko]

Just give me Dance Central 4, please. That's what I want.

 

[gaming_noob]

$399 Xbone? Yes!
No optical drive? Nothx

How about no optical drive and no Kinect for $299?

 

[xaosslug]

So wait...who is this guy?...not looking for a witch hunt or who he really is, but a guy who signs up and his first posts ar a ton of leaks is kinda suspicious to say the least

imo, xbone sales have slowed noticeably enough that MS is getting worried, and they feel it's time to 'leak' numerous infoes on xbone's bright (white!) future.

smart move. Sure, they could hold a press event, by why? Word will spread just as fast this way, too.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

I just want to know if all this stuff was planned during Mattrick's tenure or if all of this is happening due to his removal.

 

[eternaLightness]

Man, this thread exploded after I took a nap. Great stuff!

 

[Chris R]

Optical disk drive is a mistranslated kinect sensor right? Kinect does optical stuff...

 

[JesseZao]

H2A is the one thing that could pull me back. Better be good!

 

[Mass Effect]

Damn, this guy is dropping bombs everywhere.

Forza Horizon 2 sounds so good. It almost makes me want to go buy an Xbone just for it.

 

[Y2Kev]

That's exactly how I read it. An "in your dreams" post.

 

[Tratorn]

Hm well, so it's the same as always.
But at least Forza Horizon is coming.

And C3, but when I see the release date I better won't hype this yet...

 

[BlazingDarkness]

So basically, more of the same from MS.

 

[Einchy]

Hopefully this Halo 2 will be the one that looked like this.

'bone with no optical drive and no kinect for £300 quid would do me nicely.

I still don't understand why they didn't keep this look for the game.

 

[Dragonborn]

Well it's pretty much just release dates and games we all saw coming anyways so not really megatons. It'd be nice to hear more about 2015 though since so far it seems it's just another Fable/Halo/Forza

The white X1 sounds great though

 

[dose]

Its just good to know that good games are on the way in the first year of the console's life cycle. The future is going to be awesome.

How do you know they're good when they're nowhere near being finished, and no one has even seen them yet?

 

[Chobel]

Still nothing about the exclusive Japanese games? C'mon ntkrnl, give us something.

 

[Canis lupus]

This is more bombs than what you would find at an E3 conference.

But does it mean most if not all big Xbone announcements exhausted for the rest of the year already? :/

 

[Ryu751]

That is a fine fall line up if true. Forza in Sept, Sunset in Oct, Halo and Quantum in Nov. I hope Insomniac gets back to form being console exclusive again.

 

[Garrett 2U]

A disgruntled work place tends to leak. Sony were leaky as hell back when PS3 launched

Dunno, this guy sounds excited about Xbox more than anything... Doesn't sound like he is disgruntled

 

[CrackPebbles]

I would bite on a white xbone if a new Platinum game got announced as an exclusive. I guess..

 

[Night Hunter]

Man MS is leaky as hell......pre announcement horrors to now....Sony seems like an armored tank in comparison

Yeah, MS needs to headhunt some of dem Sony Ninjas

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

How do you know they're good when they're nowhere near being finished, and no one has even seen them yet?

Halo 2 won't be good?
Forza Horizon won't be good?
Crackdown won't be good?
Fable won't be good?

I'm just stating that its good to know that sequels or rereleases of good games are on the way!

 

[Off-Kilter]

So many bombs. Good stuff

 

[JaggedSac]

OS UI and feature update in March needs to be added to that list. Figured that would be getting more discussion as well.

 

[Hip Hop]

How about no optical drive and no Kinect for $299?

All digital on a console?

No thanks.

 

[WillyFive]

Will Microsoft still call the Xbox One "The all-in-one entertainment system" without a blu-ray drive? Or do they need to think of a new name?

Depends if you consider the Blu-Ray market to be relevant compared to streaming services or TV.

 

[Y2Kev]

Crackdown won't be good?
Fable won't be good?

I'm just stating that its good to know that sequels or rereleases of good games are on the way!

More than likely not based on Crackdown 2 (and 1 imo, deal with it) and Fables 2 and 3.

 

[Gintoki313]

Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and Halo 2 Anniversary. That sounds amazing. If that $399 Xbox One ever happens, then consider me sold.

 

[soulassssns]

Ok Microsoft you win I will buy an XboxOne now.

 

[friskykillface]

OS UI and feature update in March needs to be added to that list. Figured that would be getting more discussion as well.

ability to erase stuff from the hard drive available? please let it happen

i need that, also twitch please :3



keep the leaks coming, i want a white xbox one now

 

[Pound_lb003]

Hm well, so it's the same as always.
But at least Forza Horizon is coming.

And C3, but when I see the release date I better won't hype this yet...

Yeah, little underwhelming. I do guess everyone is right here, Forza Horizon is cool.

But no doubt there will be another open world NFS this fall too.

 

[Mass Effect]

Halo 2 won't be good?
Forza Horizon won't be good?
Crackdown won't be good?
Fable won't be good?

I'm just stating that its good to know that sequels or rereleases of good games are on the way!

Eh... well, I wouldn't put it outside of the realm of possibility with those two.

 

[Crimsonlink]

Man CBoat is being overthrown by the new guy. lol

Good news for Xbox One users. Now if only we can get a Sony and Nintendo guy to leak for us.

 

[neojubei]

No news on that Platinum exclusive developed game Cboat was talking about?

 

[Phire Phox]

This dude is better than cboat because he types in English.

 

[DrBo42]

Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, and Halo 2 Anniversary. That sounds amazing. If that $399 Xbox One ever happens, then consider me sold.

I'd definitely be tempted.
