Major Nelson teases cool new features coming to Xbox One

Major Nelson: “I can’t wait to tell you about the cool new features coming to Xbox One I just had a chance to play around with. In due time though."

Obscure_Observer2257d ago

Hell yeah! I don´t trust Ybarra and Greenberg, but i definelly like and trust Major Nelson! Can´t wait to found out what it is! :)

thekhurg2257d ago

Agreed. He let everyone know they couldn't turn off kinect.

And I haven't turned off my Kinect ever since.

UnHoly_One2256d ago

I love how MS says something people don’t like, so they change it, and people are still bitching about the original thing that never even happened, 5 years later.

It’s amazing.

"Xbox One only has 30 Exclusives after 4 1/2 years. You might want to cross your toes as well..."

If you are not a massive fanboy douche bag then why are You here , having clicked on an article that only relates to the Xbox One.

The article is talking about features but you're talking about exclusives , I don't get it ?

If Sony has so many amazing games to Play then why are you here Trolling Xbox articles , poisoning the well of discussion with your spam?

It's literally pathetic , I don't understand the logic of Sony fanboys ..

bolimekurac2256d ago

because some sony fanboys are immature idiots but i dont really think its all them, its mostly insecure people who claim to be gamers, without the sony exclusives there is not much else for them to go crazy about. they have the weaker hardware now, and all thats left is sony's exclusives so they will scream about that over and over.

KickSpinFilter2256d ago (Edited 2256d ago )

I would imagine the same logic that Xbox fanboys use in PS only articles...don't kid yourself.

"I would imagine the same logic that Xbox fanboys use in PS only articles...don't kid yourself."

Not kidding myself sport , I just don't see it.

I have a PS4 Pro and a One X so I read articles for both.

You're right in that the occasional Xbox Fanboy does show up in the Playstation articles, but it is nowhere near as bad as the amount of Playstation fanboys constantly trolling on MS articles.

It happens daily , the attitude is generally vile and / or off topic and it really spoils the forums on N4G.

So don't kid yourself buddy , it's bad and the attitude of these idiots is worse.

Bobafret2256d ago

While I agree with you, I do wish for game announcements rather than more features, it's getting a bit tedious waiting.

TheCommentator2256d ago

Yep. And the only ones to blame are the N4G mods, who don't do a thing to enforce the rules of conduct we all agreed to when me make our accounts. Welcome to "Green Hell"...

On topic, I am glad to hear about new features coming to the console, and also look forwards to upcoming game announcements (and possibly studio acquisitions) as well. MS is working on all of these things as we speak.

@Fragnum
"You're right in that the occasional Xbox Fanboy does show up in the Playstation articles," The word "Occasional" is an under statement dont you think. I see the same amount of Sony Fanboy troll Xbox articles as i see Xbox fanbox trolls PS4 articles. you dont see it because you refuse to see it.

Wasabi2256d ago (Edited 2256d ago )

@Kayoss

No , I don't see it because it doesn't happen nearly as frequently from the Xbox fanbase.

I don't care for fanboys , flamewars or online arguments.

I like gaming. I don't play console manufacturers resolutions or have favourites.

I own all three consoles and I play the games I want on the console I want.

Please do not suggest that it is me that is in denial,I have a master's in human Psychology and your response is easily categorised.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you are defending this behaviour that it is you that are delusional not everybody else.

You are part of the problem.

jmetalhead778122256d ago

@Fragnum

I agree 100%. But, it’s obvious they have nothing else going on in their lives to put some much weight to console sales. “PS more than doubles XB sales and has more exclusives”. Great... awesome... so go play them. It’s the same people over and over, saying the same things over and over. I’ve spent a lot of time to understand this logic, but you’ll drive yourself insane. Like I said, they have nothing else in their life. Just let them enjoy their console being #1... Video games are fun no matter what you choose. Some people can’t accept that

Wasabi2256d ago

@jmetalhead77812

You are 100% correct.

These are the kind of people that hunt in packs and absolutely cannot see anyone else's point of view - its not just the Playstation fanboys, there's bad apples in Microsofts and Nintendos carts too it just seems that the PS cart is more rotten than most.

On topic heres an interesting article that explains a lot, that you might be interested in reading.

I can tell You that a hell of a lot of what is written in this article is accurate.

babadivad2256d ago

@jmetalhead77812

Wow, I didn't think there was any sanity left on this site. Rampant fanboys everywhere. But if we're being honest, the PS fanboys have been absolutely toxic this entire generation. Yes, all platforms have trolls, but PS trolls are the most rabid and fanatical. Sony can literally do no wrong in their eyes, and anything that has Microsoft's name on it is instantly bad. Because reasons. I have said this before, Sony fans are worse than Apple Fanboys now. They are verging on that level of blind loyalty.

Anyway, it's refreshing to see someone speak on the issues here and not be down voted to hell and back. Good to know there are still sane people on this forum.

TheRacingX2256d ago

I almost fell off my chair reading these comments...logic, sanity, expressed thoughts without homophobic racial slurs AND grammatically sound??? these sound like cool sane people I'd game online with.... if any of you would like to add me... send me a message, Ill give you my gamertag or ID, I play on X1X, PS4 , WiiU, no switch ...yet

Loktai2256d ago

I know Im late to the discussion and I dont mean to play devils advocate here but dont you think the lower overall occurrence of Xbox fanboys on playstation articles may be due to a lower overall number of Xbox fans or very passionate xbox fans?

I agree the trolling is dumb as hell though I dont see the point. And personally I'd rather see more features on the machines so it spurs competition myself. Most gamers are not seeing this as a rivalry but in the aspects that it IS a rivalry the gamers win through the escalation of features value and games.

trooper_2256d ago

Maybe because people want games?

New exclusives being announced?

Features are nice but isn't this supposed to be a console?

As if Xbox fanboys aren't just as bad.

GamesMaster19822256d ago (Edited 2256d ago )

Well it thing already has all the features of a smart TV. The only thing it's lacking is the first party quality games like the Xbox OG and Xbox 360. To be fair this gen the X1 first party games line up have been a joke compared to the last 2 gen's. To be honest even the Switch that has been out less than a year has more quality first party titles than the X1 this whole gen.

Relientk772256d ago

I was thinking exclusives lol so close enough

RadarRider2256d ago

No, features, I can see how the article confused both you and @Playstation_5 - I get confused when I don't read articles nor their titles.

I do not know if you are a multi-console user or only use one, and you know what the article is about yet you still use it as a platform to bring up a slanted topic. If you are enjoying your PS4 (like me) or your Switch (like me), then go play those systems, and stop trolling others.

You know what keeps me using my xbox more than the other two systems? - the community. The Playstation community is volatile, nothing more than a bunch of fanboys who foam at the mouths when any article about another system pops up. If Sony does it, its "amazing", if MS does it - "Oh no!." and Nintendo does it you act like your little brother just learned how to ride a bike...despite them in fact being your stepfather.

There is an article I think you both should read, and its actually on N4G, it discusses how each system developer is kicking-ass and taking names. I am certain after you both read the article that you'll come to the mouth breathing conclusion that "My Playstation is better," because you both like to give takes that do not totally connect with the article.

Please, when they finish checking your bridge for model, we ask that you return to your dwelling place to troll goats or some shit.

GamesMaster19822256d ago

Look I’m not a Hayter of the Xbox overall I loved the OG and the 360 and even bought the X1 at launch just for Dead Rising 3 and the upcoming at the time Halo 5. But since that time what really have Microsoft first party put out that’s worth picking one up over all other consoles . The yearly Forza is about it . For a multi billion dollar company they just don’t seem that keen on making what made the last 2 Xbox consoles so great and that is quality first party exclusives . Say what you want about me hating if you want but truth is why ain’t they doing it ?. Just imagine all The great Xbox ip’s they could carry on but simply don’t . And that is my only beef with Microsoft

Wasabi2255d ago (Edited 2255d ago )

You will get down-voted for this post.

However the reason You will get down-votes is for exactly the same reasons You have highlighted in Your post because of the rabid nature of the Playstation Fanboy community on this website.

Fanboys in general are bad for gaming, every camp has its Toxic characters but as a number of posters on this thread have correctly pointed out the Sony fanboy's are the worst for it.

You only have to read the first ten posts on this thread to see it, Whilst obviously passionate about the PS4 the way that passion manifests itself is toxic and ugly and because on this site they are the "majority" due to poor policing by some (not all) of the N4G mods they have been allowed to get away with it.

These people believe that by adding down-votes and behaving in an obnoxious way to owners of any other system that they are in some way right and that is it correct and normal to behave in this way.

They constantly talk about exclusives, how MS had bad anti consumer practice at the very start of the generation and to an extent this is true.

What they forget to mention is that MS listened to the outcry and because of poor reception never went ahead with those practices and have adopted many consumer friendly practices since such as backwards compatibility gamepass and EA access as well as allowing MODs and cross platform play things that Sony has not implemented but the Sony Fanboys refuse to acknowledge this and even actively try and argue that these are "bad things"

Meanwhile, as an example Sony implements a poor choice of backwards compatibility via PS Now and effectively forces Playstation users to re purchase games they may already own but in the fanboys eyes Sony can do no wrong and this is somehow chalked up as a positive for Sony.

It is true that Sony has a far stronger line up of exclusive games - its very difficult to argue this any other way but why do the fanboys feel the need to jump on Xbox related articles and tell xbox users about this each and every day - surely if these exclusives are so good and so numerous then why waste time arguing the point on a forum when you could be enjoying these titles?

I bought My Xbox One X to play the best versions of multiplatform games - The odd MS exclusive is just a bonus.

I also own a PS4 Pro which I use to play Playstation Exclusives.

I own a switch too , because in My opinion Nintendo has the best games this generation on their system.

I am a fully grown man, I can afford multiple systems to play the games that I want to play regardless of whether that be on Playstation Xbox or Switch.

I do not require a insecure spotty 15 year old fanboy or a sad 30 something Playstation Superfan to inform me whether or not I have made a sound purchase choice with My Xbox One X , Switch OR PS4 Pro.

I also do not need to be reminded how many exclusives are available on the PS4 Pro on a daily basis, I know ..I own one.

I do not see the need for the toxicity within the N4G community, and whilst there has always been an element of rivalry between computers/ consoles (Spectrum Vs Commodore - Amiga Vs Atari ST - NES Vs Master System SNES Vs Megadrive) there has never been this level of toxicity and poison associated with it and it saddens me to say that IT IS primarily the Playstation cohort that are bringing this to the table this generation.

Of course PS5 will have games, their all going to be remasters of the games you currently own.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss7d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

jznrpg5d ago

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast7d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

gold_drake6d ago

shining force.

but indont see that happening unfortunately.
