The new Xbox may require internet connection

The dates that Microsoft and Sony will present their new consoles are closer every day. According to a very reliable source, it appears that there is some very important information with regard to the future Xbox.

This confirms many rumors circulating since last year. According to the site EDGE, important sources have confirmed that the new Xbox will use an eight-core AMD processor at 1.6GHz, a graph will also incorporate D3D11.xa 800MHz and 8GB of RAM. Storage capacity is not yet released, but it seems that the games will be sold on Blu-ray 50GB. Also is also expected to go on sale a new and improved with future Kinect Xbox.

Anyway, I still need to mention the bad part of all this. According to the report, the console will need an Internet connection to work, so we could go and discarding used video games. The new games will have an activation code, thanks to which a copy of a video game can only be used by the initial users. If this proves to be true, you can no longer play games previously used on another console.

If Microsoft really tries to stop buying games resold, loyal players may begin to consider other consoles, such as the PS4, for example.

It is expected that the new Xbox is anuciada during the E3 show in June.

According to Bloomberg, the future Xbox, Xbox 720 called by some, and is scheduled for release next year, although we do not know an exact date yet.

Inside sources say that Microsoft does not know whether it should introduce the new Xbox at E3 2013 (which will be in June if memory serves me correctly) or if it should do so in a separate and unique event. For now, the company has refused to comment on it.

Do you think it is high time that a new Xbox is released or we can still get more juice to the 360?

For creators of Steam, Windows 8 will be a "catastrophe for all '

 

The Windows 8 will be a catastrophe for those who like to play on PC and will harm the computer market. Who was it said Gabe Newell, Valve's CEO, producer of games like Half-Life, Left 4 Dead and creator of Steam.

Microsoft's new platform will have its own app store - the Windows 8 Store. And Newell believes it affect similar services already available today.

"The Windows 8 will be a disaster for all of the computers in space. I think we lose some manufacturers, who will end up leaving the market, "said Newell, according to Mashable. "If true, then we need good alternatives to it."

One of the alternatives considered by Valve is the version of Steam for Linux, which is already being developed. Newell believes that what is lacking for the open source system gain more space among consumers is a good supply of games - what would be possible to adapt the service.

The store apps Windows 8 will, somehow, a competitor to Steam. The distribution service games company Newell currently has more than 40 million active users and 2500 titles from different developers.

If the store can offer Microsoft games with the same efficiency of Steam - and integration with Microsoft's own Xbox to become a reality - the service of the Valve can go out very much affected.

Wii's online service will be free U

 

Often (but not always) the fact that something has to be free is not good quality. We're not sure if Nintendo is aware of this, but the company will continue to offer the online service for U Wii without charging a cent. The launch of the console is expected for the month of August.
LIVE Gold and PlayStation Plus are paid subscription services available for the Xbox 360 and PS3, respectively. These paid services have the advantage of offering more features and a lot of applications premium, unlike the free versions of them.
The service for Nintendo Wii, called "Wi-Fi Connection", or comes close to those already mentioned and is not such a large community such as Xbox LIVE and PSN.
The fact is that maintaining services like LIVE and PS Plus Gold costs money, why are not free. Besides this, surely any gamer would rather pay some extra dollars and have available an effective online service and a community of active players with perfect attendance, which seems to be the case of the service offered by Nintendo.
Once the Wii is released U, we have to wait and see how things evolve.

A mixture of Wii and Kinect want to change the man-machine interaction

 
Another thing is that it succeeds. Because if something we have been taught that betting systems to revolutionize the interaction systems is that their results are not always as good as expected. In this case, the initiative is called Leap Motion and consists of a device that sits in front of a monitor and is able to recognize the hand movements of users to be reflected in the computer without any contact.
Motion Leap can be considered as a remix of that seen in Wii and Kinect. The philosophy is the same as in the other two systems, converting the user's own command and control. The idea is to apply the Motion Leap philosophy navigation on a PC, allowing interaction with its various elements without actually touching the screen or mouse and keyboard.
The device, with a rectangular shape, is situated at the bottom of the screen and the user must place his hands in an elevated position on Leap Motion. According to the creators of the system, have developed a 3D recognition technology with specific software, allowing users a completely new interaction.
Its creators say Leap Motion "is more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a more sensitive keyboard and a touch screen." In addition, they promise that the system is "200 times more accurate than anything else on the market", which promises much considering the advances in the field of motion recognition from Microsoft has been achieved with Xbox .
The device is about the size of an iPod and connects to the computer through a USB key. From their website they promise that the system is very easy to install, noting that its release is as important "as the first day of the mouse", but simpler because users do not need to learn to use it.
In his video presentation, you can see that Leap Motion to get around various activities and services of a PC in the style of Minority Report. Motion Leap makes virtually simulate the interaction that achieved with touch screens, but without touching.
As for the functions that can be performed, the test shows that Motion Leap shares and as such established pinch the screen to zoom or scroll to make a simple gesture are possible. The system promises high accuracy and can be applied to design programs, video games of all types and billing and office applications or browsing.
This is an innovative, useful for certain activities but perhaps completely for others. Its design and apparent ease of use are its great strengths. The device and can be booked and costs $ 70 (56.3 euros).
