Microsoft unveils the XBox One

The rumors had floated around that Microsoft was developing a new console to be released this holiday season. After today’s press conference, we know the future of Microsoft and their gaming platform. Microsoft today unveiled the XBox One.

Microsoft continued their trend of attempting to create an all in one entertainment system. The console features improved graphics, a blu ray player, trending topics, and voice commands. The first look at the console’s home page came after the command “XBox On” was given.

The console will allow users to easily and instantly switch between watching TV, playing games, and using other apps for the system through an extensive library of pre-programmed verbal commands including “XBox Go Home” (let the XBox go home you’re drunk jokes begin) and “XBox Watch TV”.

Many of the features and apps will include a trending feature to show what is popular among the world and your circle of friends to help you find new and exciting content through your XBox.

The Kinect is given upgrades including an updated camera in full 1080P and more refined motion controls with more accurate range of motion being developed. Their will also be a number of pre-programmed gestures available to help easily control the console.

A new feature introduced is called Snap Mode. This allows for multiple apps to be running at the same time. The press conference had a movie playing while surfing Internet Explorer at the same time.

Smartphones and tablets come more into play as the Smartglass platform Microsoft developed will be more integrated into the console. You will be able to use your devices like a remote control and access more content to enhance your experience.

Hardware for the console includes 8GB of RAM, Blu-Ray player, USB 3.0, and a 500 GB internal hard drive along with options for cloud storage.

In addition to being more integrated with your television, the XBox One will feature XBox One Guide to help you find TV programs to watch. You will be able to control searching through regular searching, voice commands, a favorites list, and also the new trending settings.

Upon launch, XBox Live will be powered by 300,000 servers. Many upgrades are coming to XBox Live. One that many may find exciting for multiplayer is a compatibility  based matching system to help make multiplayer matches more fair and even.

Not much was announced in the way of games. Not surprising with E3 just a couple of weeks away. We know Fourza 5 will be a launch title. EA will several titles available. The XBox One will feature 15 exclusive titles within the first year of launch. 8 of those titles will represent entirely new franchises.

Microsoft has also announced a partnership with the ESPN. Their coverage on the console will expand as well as adding Fantasy features into their sports apps.

Microsoft is also developing an exclusive Halo live action TV series that will have Steven Spielberg attached to the project.

Slacker & The Man Episode 275: Star Trek Into Darkness

Download

On this episode of Slacker And The Man the guys review Noobz and A Good Day To Die Hard, discuss which upcoming movies they’re looking forward to, revive the old bit of watching a Netflix movie to review every week, RainbowWarrior calls in to promote Oasis Con, and then The Man and Dobbs debate Star Trek Into Darkness. The Man loved it and Dobbs hated it.

The Star Trek into Darkness portion of this episode does contain heavy spoilers. But it doesn’t start until the second half, after the music/commercial break, and there are plenty of warnings. So the first half of the show is absolutely spoiler free.

Kevin Conroy will return as Batman in Arkham Origins – Updated

It was recently announced that a prequel to the Arkham series would be released. Not immediately announced was the voice of Batman. There was a lot of speculation that Kevin Conroy was replaced as the voice of Batman in the game. Conroy has been the iconic voice of the Dark Knight n animated and video game media for the past twenty years. Some very good news was announced. Conroy is indeed back in the role we know him for. he made the announcement at this past weekend’s Dallas Comic-Con.

Much of the confusion came about becuase Conroy was contractually obligated to not talk about the project. “I can talk about it now,” Conroy said during his Q&A panel. “We’ve been working for about nine or ten months on the next Arkham game. We all signed contracts so we weren’t allowed to talk about it. The studio likes to completely control the rollout of any product, so they don’t like us to talk about anything, but it’s now been announced.

“It’s an unbelievable game, I still can’t say anything about it, and you don’t want me to anyway because it will ruin it for you, but it’s amazing. It’s a huge, huge cast, and a big story. It took almost a year of writing to put it together. They’ve been working on it a long time.”

The game takes place during the early years of Bruce Wayne developing his abilities as Batman. Several villains are featured in this game for the first time in the series including Black Mask and Deathstroke. The game centers around a storyline where Black Mask places a bounty on Batman on Christmas Eve. Batman: Arkham Origins will be released on October 25 for Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Breaking Update:

It looks like Conroy will not indeed be in Arkham Origins. It looks like Conroy is actually working on a sequel to the Arkham series. The actor came to Twitter and said that he is not working on Origins but is working on another Arkham project. He has since deleted the tweet as that project has not been announced at all. Roger Craig Smith is the man playing Batman in the game. We’ll keep you updated as new details emerge.

Star Trek: Into Darkness Review

The latest chapter in JJ Abrams Star Trek series debuted in theaters this week. Star Trek: Into Darkness continues the updated representation of the universe originally created by Gene Roddenberry. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto come back to reprise their roles of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock along with the rest of the Enterprise crew.

The movie was as visually stunning and beautiful as the first if not more so. Abrams take on the Star Trek universe really pays homage to the original TV series while still taking on its own unique identity with a number of twists and turns.

Much of this has to do with the acting. Benedict Cumberbatch does a fantastic job as the movie’s antagonist. He does play a popular Trek villain who is identified in the movie. Cumberbatch does a fantastic job with the role and steals the scenes he’s in. He adds a layer of depth to the character and is sometimes scary with how he portrays the character. The film also introduced the Klingons into this universe. While we’re only given a teaser of them, hopefully their presence is expanded on in future films.

The Enterprise crew is given a chance to shine. Most of the characters were given some character depth and exploration. Except for Chekov. Unfortunately, Chekov’s presence in the movie is mostly comic relief, but Anton Yelchin was funny when he needed to be.

Overall, the movie had a lot of fun action and really proved to be a great sci-fi action adventure. It’s definitely worth seeing.

First trailer for Batman Arkham Origins

The prequel in the wildly successful Arkham game series has a trailer available to us. The latest entry in the series takes place several years before Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. The game focuses on a younger, less refined Batman meeting many of his popular arch rivals for the first time.

Several new villains are being introduced in the game. Most notably is Deathstroke. Check out the teaser below. The fight scene cinematic fight between Batman and Deathstroke is a thing of beauty. This is certainly one of my most anticipated games this year.

Batman: Arkham Origins is set to be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC on October 25.

New Promo for Disney’s Avengers Assemble

The latest from Marvel’s animated team comes to us on July 7. “Avengers Assemble” brings the popular team to the small screen again. The series stars Adrian Pasdar as Iron Man, Roger Craig Smith as Captain America, Travis Willingham as Thor, Troy Baker as Hawkeye, Laura Bailey as Black Widow, Bumper Robinson as Falcon and Fred Tatasciore as Hulk.

The animation looks good and the voices sound great. A lot is riding on this series. Marvel’s looks totake the success they with Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and move forward after Joss Whedon’s blockbuster movie hit. Many are still mad that Marvel cancelled EMH after two seasons.

“Marvel’s Avengers Assemble” reunites the most popular super hero team — Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow, along with newcomer Falcon, marking the first time in animation history this distinct team of heroes will join forces. Led by Iron Man, the heroes train and live together in their new headquarters in Avengers Tower. The planet’s most dangerous villains don’t stand a chance when the Avengers assemble – whether they are stopping Dr. Doom from conquering Asgard, Attuma driving the Atlantean Army into New York City or Dracula unleashing vampire hordes, the Avengers must work together to succeed.

Check out this teaser trailer below. Disney XD will air a one hour sneak peek of the series on may 26th.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets timeslot and extended trailer

Marvel’s upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has finally been given its timeslot. The show will air on ABC on Tuesday nights at 9PM. Also, a new trailer has been released showing us more of the series. The trailer also gives us a good look at what appears to be Luke Cage, a lower level superhero that fits perfectly into a weekly television series such as this.

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).

From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville,” “Lost,” “Heroes”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

 


Who’s ready for Tuesday nights? I’m still hoping we see some of the higher SHIELD agents such as Maria Hill, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Nick Fury who would all be relatively easy to insert into the series for a few guest runs.
