Dog Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Source,Source,Source XBOX 360 Rest assured, the Xbox 360 isn’t done just yet. While the Xbox One took center stage at this years Microsoft E3 presentation, Microsoft's Yusef Mahedi took the stage at the start of the presentation to assuage any fears that the company would abandon the aging console. First up: there's an entirely new Xbox 360. It's a sleeker model stylized after the Xbox One, and, while details are currently scant, it's available, well, right now. And there'll be plenty to play on your brand new revamped Xbox 360 in the coming months. Microsoft will introduce a reward of sorts for Xbox Live subscribers: starting July 1st until the launch of the Xbox One, anyone with an Xbox Live Gold membership will be able to download two classic Xbox 360 games, free of charge. First up are Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3. Folks who've subscribed to Sony's PlayStation Plus program have been getting these sorts of freebies for ages, so it's nice to see Microsoft offering something extra for those willing to pony up their $60 a year. We're also been assured that there'll be plenty of new games coming for the console in the next few years, including Grand Theft Auto V, Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood (which looks rather terrifying), and Dark Souls 2. We also got a glimpse at the upcoming World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition, which brings the free-to-play tank combat MMO to consoles for the first time. New Xbox 360 Design (Xbox One Design) Microsoft has announced a new model of the Xbox 360. It is smaller, sleeker, and quieter than the prior "slim" model. It's available starting today in the United States, UK, Canada and Australia, with more territories coming soon, according to Microsoft. Pricing for the slimmed down model will be the same as the older model, with a 4GB (no Kinect) edition running $199.99 and a 250GB model priced at $299.99. A 4GB system that includes the Kinect will cost $299.99. Here's a look at the system: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ XBOX ONE ________________________________________________________________ Microsoft has announced the lineup of games for its upcoming Xbox One console at its 2013 E3 press conference in Los Angeles with highlights including Ryse: Son of Rome and the god-sim Project Spark. The first game announced at Microsoft's E3 press conference in Los Angeles was Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, featuring Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Snake. The trailer opened with a scene on horseback reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption and detailed gameplay elements such as "deeper stealth action" and "tactical espionage." The next exclusive Xbox One game to be announced was Crytek's Ryse: Son of Rome, which is a first-person "sword-and-sandal" epic set in ancient Rome. It featured both hand-to-hand combat and massive battle set-pieces. Ryse is compatible with SmartGlass and Microsoft used it to illustrate the new Timeline mode -- an expansion of Xbox 360's achievements. Moving on, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available on Xbox One and features a free-roaming fantasy experience. It will feature several exclusive features for Xbox One including optional voice commands through Kinect. Though no official title was given, 323 studios announced that a "Halo FPS" will debut in 2014 on Xbox One. It will run at 60 frames per second and feature cloud-based gameplay. The opening cinematic showed Master Chief dressed in a monk's robes wandering across a desert and ambushed by a large biomechanical creature. Project Spark is a first-person world-building game that incorporates fantasy and sci-fi elements and is cross-compatible with Windows 8. It is part open sandbox and part game design tool with real-time terrain morphing. In the demo, a character built a cliff bridge in real time to attack a swarming army and then turned the main character into a mech. This is one of the most interesting-looking games in years. Dead Rising 3 stars a "Sons of Anarchy"-type protagonist named Nick and features open-world gameplay and "no load times." The game has destructible environments and "hundreds" of improvised weapons. Cars feature prominently and you can drive your vehicle GTA-style through hordes of zombies. It will be available "this holiday" and exclusively for Xbox One. The final Xbox One-exclusive game announced was a hybrid FPS named Titanfall, which also features mech-based combat. The Microsoft press conference featured an extended demo of frenetic, gun-based gameplay, and it appeared that switching between being on foot and the mech was seamless. The game comes from ex-members of the team behind the Call of Duty franchise and it will be available later in spring 2014. Last month Microsoft revealed several games at its Xbox One unveiling, including sports games Madden NFL 25, FIFA 14, UFC: Ultimate Fighting Championship, and NBA Live 14. Meanwhile, action-based games included Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break, and Call of Duty: Ghosts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Its just as ugly as the new system. I'll stick to my 360 slim. There's no telling what is hidden in that thing.... They probably have hidden cameras and Microphones inside, so they study us like lab rats and find-out what we think of their New Xbox 360... If I wasn't poor, I would buy one, no make that all of them just to open it up and give the cameras my middle finger. I can see it now... The face of Microsoft employees when they look at their monitors to see what we are doing, only to see my finger... Their face would be like... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
