<p dir=ltr>I love the gaming industry, and community first off, so when new systems are launched and talked about I get excited. After the recent reveal of Xbox One and Playstation 4 earlier this year it is amazing to see how much the communities and side will fight over almost nothing. I was underwhelmed by both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 press conferences. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Sony showed a lot of developer information and videos of games and developers explaining why the new Playstation 4 experience is great and remarkably powerful. They showed their new controller with some impressive new features. I think I and everybody else was pretty disappointed by not actually seeing the console. I think this was a strange move that upset a lot of gamers, but I don't know if it wasn't finished with design or just likes to leave excited and confused. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Microsoft and Xbox One, they showed the console which is great, supposedly virtually silent and had bluray as well. New Kinect, new hardware of course, and new controller. The console while design whise isn't the future of design or looks like something out of the future, I want something that looks more professional and isn't oh another gaming console in your living room. I think it looks sharp and sophisticated. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Kinect features fine tuned, faster, and can read your heart rate during game play cool and creepy. Smaller, better large and close up camera recognition from what I understand.   I know everyone is still it is such a gimmick in today's gaming worldwide, I like my current Kinect and think it offers great features so I am excited about Kinect 2.0 possibilities. </p>
<p dir=ltr>The controller while not to much different, smaller battery compartment, new directional pad, and more customisable settings for trigger sensitivity is interesting. Size to me looks fairly similar, but I am excited for a smaller battery hump on the back. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Not a lot of game play or footage, I was still not disappointed, they showed what they wanted and I am sure have saved more things than we can handle for the E3 press conference. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I will most likely have both systems at some point, or at least play them, but I feel Microsoft will have my vote again in this next console generation. I am excited for the future of gaming even with big changes in online, drm for disc's, and the unfortunate loss of backwards compatibility on both systems. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I think hardcore gamers are upset with too much Kinect, focus on tv, and apps on Xbox, but we've been their for a while now and it doesn't show signs of slowing down soon so I think we should embrace it with playing games that we all enjoy the story and universes of gaming that we enjoy and love. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I'm not the biggest fan of the Xbox HDMI in on Xbox one since I've cut away from cable and satellite for online and local broadcast television  only. I hope maybe the input hdmi port could be used for the Xbox 360 for use for old games, and switching using the new Kinect app switching features. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I think we should enjoy these changes, complain less about the future of gaming, and look forward to things to come. After all we know little to nothing about how all that new console features, and designs will work until we are able to try them ourselves later this year. </p>
<p dir=ltr>This is my two cents about how I feel about gaming, Xbox One and Playstation 4. </p>
