I hate flowery language like "now adorably all digital". What the fuck is adorable about it being all digital?
the same way that removing a headphone jack is courageous, i guess
I mean based on the backlash one could argue it was courageous no?
yeah i guess i can't argue with that…
Y’know, I can’t think of a lot of adjectives to use for “all digital,” but “adorably” sure af is not one of them.
I think it's a reference to it's smaller size.
Then go "now smaller, adorable, and all digital" or something that doesn't sound completely daft.
Another only digital console: ew.
Gyro in an Xbox controller: W
I wish they'd make the drive an optional add-on that you could buy later if you decide that digital only isn't for you, instead of using it as product segmentation. But that would be pro-consumer, so not gonna happen.
They should make it HD DVD drive compatible 😁
Fuck no.
I'm not getting an external disc drive. It will only end in tears.
I'm going all PC, Nintendo, or PS5 if Xbox goes all-digital.
I thought the selling point of consoles was supposed to be second hand games being cheap
That new cylindrical Series X looks like a Wi-Fi router lol
Fridge and Router. Perfect.
Now we need what? An oven?
Buttplug Thumbdrive
This is no longer a box. Time to rebrand.
Yeah, Xtube seems fitting( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
Apparently the new controller is also more silent. I wish it wasn't so ugly tho
I could see the utility of the textured surface if it has the durability, but holy hell does it look bad if it's actually just cut in half for colors like that.
If that's just for demonstration and the split is more naturally contoured, maybe it's OK.
2 TB seems incredibly limited for a disc-less design. 4 TB would be more suitable for a base flagship model.
Disc's haven't seemed to matter in a while. "Pop in this game to download 35GB of game data" "download complete, please download 12GB update before playing game" "update complete, do you have code for expansion pack?, if so please download these 3 7-9GB updates" *phew only a tenth of a TB later I am playing the game
They can do a Duracell themed one with this design lol.
I wonder what the haptic feedback being a speaker is all about?
The vibrations a speaker can produce could be very useful for haptic feedback. If this is a speaker modified for that purpose with a thicker, heavier membrane I think it would work very well
Think like Nintendo's HD rumble. There's certain patterns it can do that make it sound like... sound. In Golf Story for example, the hits with the club, with the hd rumble on, you can perfectly hear the skins of hitting a club even with the audio of the game down. It's strange and great at the same time. The steam controller also used it for those turn on, turn off jingles you could have on, they also sound great.
Interesting, and we also finally see the completely disc-less version we've been expecting for over a generation now.
Fucking finally. Glad Microsoft finally managed to figure out how to make controllers with features everyone else has had since 2006
Haptic feedback has everyone. How does it differ in any form from other controllers.
Pretty sure only the Switch and PS5 Controllers have something unique to vibration motors
I'm pretty sure they're talking about the gyro, which Sony and Nintendo have had since the previous generation.
2 generations ago, really. Both the Wii and ps3 had gyro controls at launch.
so that's what the controller would look like if it wore pants
it would have been sick as hell to have a disk spindle on the top where you can see it but noooo they really hate the used game market that much
