Why would anyone buy any console now over a PC with almost ever major release now available digitally. Hell you can even stream Playstation games to the PC. Maybe you can make an argument for the Switch because its such a different animal but I wouldn't waste any money on a console right now.
@@KaneRobot You can get a PC of comparable cost to a console now that will play games just as well and do so much more. Has nothing to do with 4k 60fps gaming lol
Yeah, imagine where they'd be had they not backtracked on the DRM stuff. Think about how bad the pre-order numbers must have been for them to prep for weeks for their messaging around the issue at E3, only for them to immediately reverse it like a week later.
Right? This thought always pops in my mind when I watch the old videos from before and compare them to the ones that were filmed after. There's just this sadness and bitterness underneath now that just didn't use to be there. Part of Jeff definitely died the day Ryan died.
Funny I thought the same thing. He seemed like a different person for a very long time, not as easy going and able to see the humor in things like before. But I think that's finally changing. First a little with Dan coming in and now even more with Ben you are starting to see the old Jeff coming back again. Also he got married in real life so he's probably over all in a better place now mentally. Losing a best friend isn't easy for anyone.
It’s interesting if you’re like me and you come at this from the other side. I only starting watching stuff with Jeff after Ryan had already passed, so it’s fascinating to see how different he was before. I’m much more used to his closed off and guarded personality and seeing how much he wasn’t quite like that before Ryan passed is surprising
Came back to this since the new consoles are coming in the next year. Weird that Ryan was still alive for the current consoles since it feels like it has been forever since he died.
Someone liked my old comment and I clicked on this video again. Very depressing to see Ryan. I am not the biggest visitor/viewer of gaming sites but I followed Ryan and rest of the crew since their early Gamespot days. So I guess that's why it's bumming me out to see this. Also time flies, almost 3 years and it feels like a year ago.
The J Allard cameo bit was so great. He was really cool and an inspiring ambassador for the Xbox. His E3 conferences back in the day got me so excited for the future; Allard & the 360 itself even looked futuristic with the multi-tonal grey colour scheme. Microsoft is so disappointing now - where's the focus on nurturing exclusives, and the relationships with first-party developers?
It's J Allard. I believe that the Giant Bomb crew knows him really well. And I'm not sure if it's a joke or what, but he may have had his first name changed from James to J. I'm not sure if that's confirmed, but he always goes by J (even though his born name is James).
Just realized that the CoD release, Microsoft's big finish, wasn't anything that is going to be specific to XBox One/Microsoft. That entire preview is going to be the same between Microsoft and Sony. MS gets DLC first (and w/e Exclusive Content) but all of the game features won't be any different. Seems like that kind of takes some wind out of MS sails.
gta 5 was great on pc last year lol and titanfall on pc with its 3 players kills the 1000s of players on the xboxone i feel so sad i dont have a super high end console to play titanfall with 3 people online
Orwell was concerned with forced monitoring without consent, not a game console that can be turned off or simply not purchased. The 1984 comparisons aren't apt in any way
No, you install portions of the game on a PS3, not the entire thing. Xbox One requires you to install the ENTIRE game on the HDD. Similar, but very different.
I just don't know if gaming is even for me anymore... Having to buy every single game at full price? No backwards compatibility? I dunno, I think I might just take a break from playing new games and either get a gaming dedicated computer or the second upgraded version of the xbox one that may have 360 emulation by then...
So, they show CoD:G that is "next-gen" game(they call it like that) on "next-gen" console, but they release CoD:G on X360 and PS3. What happen ?? "Old" consoles now can "play" next-gen engine ??. Also it's funny how names of consoles are like score, X 360 : PS 3 and now X 1: PS 4.
The way they kept emphasizing "The new Xbox will be the ONE (insert household fixture)", then Patrick said he didn't understand where the naming of the console came from... Patrick's REALLY dense.
Miss you Ryan Davis. You and the rest of the crew helped me through tough times. Still are today.
Same man
As time has gone on, I still miss Ryan. Duder made everything so entertaining. RIP
Hard to imagine it’s been 10 years
Same
damn, ryan died like 5 weeks after this
rip
He died shortly after Microsoft did that 180 degree turn on their always-online DRM. RIP Ryan.
How he pass away
@@aronguillen7951 Sleep apnoea.
miss ya ryan
10 years on now. A lot's happened since then but this is still a great video to watch, and of course I miss Ryan.
RIP Ryan. It’s an interesting video to rewatch considering the long lasting fall out for Xbox. Even the PS3 launch didn’t sting Sony for this long.
Crazy how in the span of about an hour Xbox completely destroyed their last 10+ years of brand equity and never recovered.
"why would I buy an xbox one when I could buy a ps4?" man vinny you have no idea how right you were
+IamJacksColon4 oh yeah I forgot about dead rising 3! wait isn't that on PC too?

@@highlycaffeinated6864 because PCs cost more and not everyone gives a shit about having 4K 60p or whatever you pretend matters to enjoy a game?
@@KaneRobot You can get a PC of comparable cost to a console now that will play games just as well and do so much more. Has nothing to do with 4k 60fps gaming lol
Xbox is better
decided to go back and watch peoples' reactions to the xbone reveal. it's hilarious how much the giant bomb crew ponder how many games will be shown.
"I don't like my electronics to look like space ships" -Ryan Davis, 2013
Shots fired across the PS5's bow!
LoL 250GB hard drives... Boy they had NO CLUE how big these games were going to be this generation...
Thought about this myself watching in 2020. Modern Warfare alone is 200+ GB now lol.
It's amazing how Microsoft is still reeling from this moment.
Yeah, imagine where they'd be had they not backtracked on the DRM stuff. Think about how bad the pre-order numbers must have been for them to prep for weeks for their messaging around the issue at E3, only for them to immediately reverse it like a week later.
Even today weeks after the release of Redfall you can still see the remnants of this awful reveal haunting them
I'm not the only one who came to watch this after Jeff mentioned it on his podcast, then :P
Cutting right to the chase of what matters to a console launch; interviewing football players about their philosophies on life.
It's still hilarious how much of a marketing disaster the Xbox One was originally.
I silldonlike mondayzz
Flowers were good

I totally agree with all of you. I always come back to these old videos and it’s clear as day how different Jeff was.

If you look closely at 1:55, you can see the first prototypes for the Xbox Series X.
Rip Tazwell. I never knew how much I could miss a person I never met.
I'm here for the 7th anniversary...man, what a shitshow.
And sooooo much focus on TV, and less on games
Came back to this since the new consoles are coming in the next year. Weird that Ryan was still alive for the current consoles since it feels like it has been forever since he died.
This auto-loaded after another video I just watched and now I'm bummed. RIP Ryan.
I miss Ryan. I miss giant bomb.

Bro, I feel this way but its 2020... I was a year from graduating from college when this vid came out. RIP Ryan.
This was towards the very end of the halcyon days of Giant Bomb.
Man, I'm so glad Mattrick's gone.
his just looks and sounds like an asshole
Man, watching in 2022. It's such a time capsule...

Boy, as much as I love my Xbone, I kind of forgot how terrible this reveal was. yeeeeesh.
The real Giant Bomb. Ryan is the best.
im from the future I came to warn you don't get axcited about the xbone
I am from further in future, turns out the Xbox wasn't so bad.
You were correct should have gotten a ps5
That J Allard reaction will forever give me life.
still weird that hes gone...
I lost it at "All new experiences including Skype"
So hard to watch this, Ryan was such a huge part of this group. (no pun)
Jeff looked so happy to be there. It's almost as if he can't contain the enthusiasm.
"Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes."
great
Everyone is so nonplussed. I didn't know Brad could be any more monotone. Amazing.
No, I was talking about the Giant Bomb live coverage, it was hilarious watching the Bombcast react to the conference .
It's J Allard. I believe that the Giant Bomb crew knows him really well. And I'm not sure if it's a joke or what, but he may have had his first name changed from James to J. I'm not sure if that's confirmed, but he always goes by J (even though his born name is James).
How life is unpredictable; who would have known that Ryan would pass away a few months later.
absolutely incredible That's true I guess
+absolutely incredible fuck you, piece of shit.
also, please google stellar wind if you dont know what it is. these new consoles are fitting right into the big brother future .

Wow, I really forgot how much they neglected games at this event.
I'm glad Ryan got to see J Allard one last time
Damn it I miss Ryan
You have to do that today with the PS3. I only have a 320GB HDD in that thing & I get along just fine.
lol
lmao
The faces when they reveal the name are priceless
R.I.P. Ryan :'(
Xbox is still reeling from the damage this caused.
25:23 take that Sony we have a box!
Sony: a box with nothing worth in it
Miss you Ryan.
"Where your games look and feel like nothing else"
You know, except for PCs.
gta 5 was great on pc last year lol and titanfall on pc with its 3 players kills the 1000s of players on the xboxone i feel so sad i dont have a super high end console to play titanfall with 3 people online
Man, those E3 conferences used to draaaag.
Miss you Ryan
Microsoft can't even get *one* operating system to work well: I don't fancy their chances of getting three to work together in the same box.
Why did it go to a NBA game that occurred back in February when he said "Xbox watch ESPN" Xbox One can even travel through time apparently.
I think the title of this video is inadvertently the best title for the Xbox One Reveal; it was a big fucking bomb.
Playstation has to be the only console that got the name right.
it frustrates me so much that ryan won't be around for the launch of these new system. fuck.
Orwell was concerned with forced monitoring without consent, not a game console that can be turned off or simply not purchased. The 1984 comparisons aren't apt in any way
Beats by Dre headphones. iPad. Match made in heaven huh
Beats suck tbh
Can't wait til E3. That's probably when I'll decide whether it's Xbox or PS4.
Microsoft presents: Overstatement.
A Real Giant Bomb indeed.
Ryan is the best you had me laughing crazy over here lol. Nice vid guys
No, you install portions of the game on a PS3, not the entire thing. Xbox One requires you to install the ENTIRE game on the HDD.
Similar, but very different.
I'm glad this happened to be honest, might finally unite Microsoft and Sony fans under one flag.
Definitely the best way to watch this.
Why not? It doesn't seem very different from the current offerings by other companies...
poor Vinny all in the dark, no lights on for him i guess :(
why didnt they do a stream for the PS4 reveal?
I love when they flipped out over the Old Xbox guy and then Stephen Spielberg got "Hey..its that guy...cool" XD
Ryan expressions are classic
don't forget sports, sports, sports, watercooler, sports
Yeah man, check out the website.
They should have sent Patrick to sit there and had Jeff in-studio.
But...does it play games?
I liked blades...
Congratulations, detective.
Xbox one is the new water cooler best thing i have ever heard
Who the hell is cheering? Are they told to or something?
It makes me cringe.
I never thought I would love watching guys watch something. . . .But I Do lol
The journalists said that there was a load of xbox workers at the back doing the whooping.
It's called the Xbox One because you take One look at it and turn the other way.
all consoles have their strong points
The TV stuff is neat, but I'll be playing games on my PS4.
the crazy part is the Xbox one will probably last to about 2025 .. good prediction..
I just don't know if gaming is even for me anymore... Having to buy every single game at full price? No backwards compatibility? I dunno, I think I might just take a break from playing new games and either get a gaming dedicated computer or the second upgraded version of the xbox one that may have 360 emulation by then...
To fit the heatsink? Did you think they made it that size for design?
I just wished someone yelled "XBOX OFF" during the demo...
The way they all lean forward and look shocked when it looks like he's gunna announce the release date haha
Wow just how hot is it in Giant Bomb HQ ?
So, they show CoD:G that is "next-gen" game(they call it like that) on "next-gen" console, but they release CoD:G on X360 and PS3. What happen ?? "Old" consoles now can "play" next-gen engine ??. Also it's funny how names of consoles are like score, X 360 : PS 3 and now X 1: PS 4.
Xbox One? What, did the actual sentimental value of the Xbox 360 go down?
They need to give him a pie.
I think what they are going for is that it fits with everything else in the living room. ;P
19:56 I luv that bit
The crowds applauding were Microsoft imployees at the back.
Remember the cloud? I sure don't.
The way they kept emphasizing "The new Xbox will be the ONE (insert household fixture)", then Patrick said he didn't understand where the naming of the console came from...
Patrick's REALLY dense.
I don't like it, either, BUT suggesting the name was out of nowhere is just silly.
audio isn't synced when you come back after fade
audio isn't synched in the second half
