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
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
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.
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?
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.
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).
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.
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.
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
I keep wondering is HTC going to sue Microsoft for using One as there initial name.. I still find it dump calling it One why not 3 to the third power or square root of 3 something with three instead of One thats confusing as hell
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...
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
miss ya ryan
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.
Crazy how in the span of about an hour Xbox completely destroyed their last 10+ years of brand equity and never recovered.
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.
"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?

Xbox is better
"I don't like my electronics to look like space ships" -Ryan Davis, 2013
Shots fired across the PS5's bow!
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.
If you look closely at 1:55, you can see the first prototypes for the Xbox Series X.
something about jeff was lost when ryan left this world, : (

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.

I only starting watching stuff with Jeff after Ryan had already passed, so it’s fascinating to see how different he was before.

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
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.
Rip Tazwell. I never knew how much I could miss a person I never met.
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.

Flowers were good

@@karinrussell5953 what?
I'm here for the 7th anniversary...man, what a shitshow.
And sooooo much focus on TV, and less on games
This auto-loaded after another video I just watched and now I'm bummed. RIP Ryan.

Bro, I feel this way but its 2020... I was a year from graduating from college when this vid came out. RIP Ryan.
Man, watching in 2022. It's such a time capsule...
I miss Ryan. I miss giant bomb.
This was towards the very end of the halcyon days of Giant Bomb.
I lost it at "All new experiences including Skype"
still weird that hes gone...
Man, I'm so glad Mattrick's gone.
his just looks and sounds like an asshole
The J Allard cameo bit was so great. He was really cool and an inspiring ambassador for the Xbox.

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
Boy, as much as I love my Xbone, I kind of forgot how terrible this reveal was. yeeeeesh.
That J Allard reaction will forever give me life.
The real Giant Bomb. Ryan is the best.
Jeff looked so happy to be there. It's almost as if he can't contain the enthusiasm.
So hard to watch this, Ryan was such a huge part of this group. (no pun)
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.
"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 .
Damn it I miss Ryan
Wow, I really forgot how much they neglected games at this event.
How life is unpredictable; who would have known that Ryan would pass away a few months later.
absolutely incredible That's true I guess
it frustrates me so much that ryan won't be around for the launch of these new system. fuck.
also, please google stellar wind if you dont know what it is. these new consoles are fitting right into the big brother future .
The faces when they reveal the name are priceless
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).
Miss you 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
Xbox is still reeling from the damage this caused.
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 didnt they do a stream for the PS4 reveal?
R.I.P. Ryan :'(
Why not? It doesn't seem very different from the current offerings by other companies...
Wow just how hot is it in Giant Bomb HQ ?
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.
To fit the heatsink? Did you think they made it that size for design?
poor Vinny all in the dark, no lights on for him i guess :(
Ryan expressions are classic
audio isn't synced when you come back after fade
Can't wait til E3. That's probably when I'll decide whether it's Xbox or PS4.
Very nice coverage, but audio is out of sync after 1:52:14
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.
Yeah man, check out the website.
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.
"Where your games look and feel like nothing else"
You know, except for PCs.

audio isn't synched in the second half
Man, those E3 conferences used to draaaag.
25:23 take that Sony we have a box!
Sony: a box with nothing worth in it
why wasn't this live streamed on youtube????
Beats by Dre headphones. iPad. Match made in heaven huh
Beats suck tbh
So Xbox One is going FMV like the Sega CD and CDI?
I'm glad Ryan got to see J Allard one last time
I liked blades...
Can it dispense other beverages you think?
I keep wondering is HTC going to sue Microsoft for using One as there initial name.. I still find it dump calling it One why not 3 to the third power or square root of 3 something with three instead of One thats confusing as hell
So he could talk about Lebraun and he could happen to score right on time?
Definitely the best way to watch this.
But...does it play games?
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...
I love when they flipped out over the Old Xbox guy and then Stephen Spielberg got "Hey..its that guy...cool" XD
Ryan is the best you had me laughing crazy over here lol. Nice vid guys
Shame about the sync issue for the last half
The TV stuff is neat, but I'll be playing games on my PS4.
Offload processing to the cloud? where have I heard that before? hmmmm
Playstation has to be the only console that got the name right.
A Real Giant Bomb indeed.
don't forget sports, sports, sports, watercooler, sports
Microsoft presents: Overstatement.
I'm glad this happened to be honest, might finally unite Microsoft and Sony fans under one flag.
The way they all lean forward and look shocked when it looks like he's gunna announce the release date haha
Were you expecting a triangle?
Remember the cloud? I sure don't.
Congratulations, detective.
@nozzbwoi happens at most events look it up.
They should have sent Patrick to sit there and had Jeff in-studio.
ryans so serious
Is there a audio desync?
Yes, with Xbox 360 you launched HD era of games. Because it's not like I played Quake 3 in 1080p and 60 frames in 2001 on Pentium 4 and Geforce 3.
1080p was not a thing in 2001 unless you were watching TV in Japan.
You are right. It was 4:3, so UXGA 1600x1200.
The 360 sold HDTVs to a mainstream audience. Quake 3 and the like sold expensive video cards to a handful of nerds. Not the same thing.
Who the hell is cheering? Are they told to or something?
It makes me cringe.
