Microsoft’s New Console: The Xbox One

So we can finally throw all that “720” stuff out. 

The One, which drops later this year, has some pretty nice modern hardware: 8-core CPU, 8 GB of system memory, built-in Wi-Fi (Wireless N + Wi-Fi Direct), Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, and a 500 GB harddrive.  It remains to be seen if Microsoft will offer different models at different prices like they initially did with the 360.

What will be talked about the most however, will be the software.  The system is powered by 3 operating systems and offers voice recognition and motion sensing technology to help you use and manage your music, movie, app, and gaming collection.  Demonstrations at the Reveal event showed instant switching between all your different media, including live TV.  You can go from a game to a movie to live TV, just by using voice commands.  A new Skype experience was revealed for the console, which features group video calling.

A feature list can be seen now on Xbox.com.  There will be a lot more to see and read about in the coming weeks leading up to (and at) E3 2013, which kicks off on June 11th.

Apps: Twitch For Xbox 360

Recently I’ve begun to love the idea of watching others play games rather than playing them myself.  It’s cool if you just want to see new games played through to the ending(s), but there’s also the potential amazement of watching someone beast at a game in ways you didn’t think possible.

Enter Twitch, which is a video game broadcasting (live streaming gameplay) and chat community.  They used to do stuff like this on Justin.TV all the time, before the co-founders branched out and created Twitch.TV as a result.  Apps for Twitch have been on Google Play and iTunes for a minute, but this week an app hit the Xbox 360 as well.

Check it out now in the Apps section of the dashboard.

The jury is already out on the game from some fans since it isn’t developed by Rocksteady like the previous two games were, but it remains an anticipated title nonetheless.

Full trailer drops on May 20th.

Video: Saints Row IV PAX Demo Walkthrough

New gameplay footage from the PAX Demo of Saints Row IV has hit the net.  Note, it’s a very early build of the game though it does look way too much like Saints Row 3.

Grand Theft Auto V Screens (53 Total)

After Rockstar released over a dozen more screens yesterday, we decided to catch up a little on some of their previous drops.  Here’s 53 total screens to check out if you haven’t already.

The exciting part is discovering game elements when you analyze the screens,  We know there are animals in the game; deers in the forest areas, sharks and other aquatic life in the water, and even Franklin’s pet Rottweiler, Chop.  Not much of a surprise considering Red Dead Redemption was filled with wildlife.  The Grove St. and Ballas gangs are back from the original San Andreas, as seen in one of the screens and trailers.  One other thing noticed is Michael standing in front of a Bahama Mamas club, which was first seen in The Ballad Of Gay Tony.

40+ screens below (Click to enlarge).
