Dad surprised his kid by taking him to the Xbox One Truck tour.

Haha, "No jerks"

Let's see how that works out the first time I boot up a FPS

Kind of expected we'd see these, but Killer Instinct arcade sticks coming.

I had a SF4 one a few years ago...

I remember that the new game was being played using arcade controls at E3.

Looks nice.

I used to really be into fighting games, especially Soul Calibur and DOA. But as time went on I tired of the genre. I just was not very good at them. And playing multiplayer online was a joke for me. I may give KI a try but I know I won't be buying that controller.

SF4 was what got me back into fighting games for a year or so, but i've lost interest again. I think the payment model for Killer Instinct makes it easy for people to give it a shot again though.

Also, Microsoft posted some tidbits on how Smart Glass will be used in Dead Rising 3, Project Spark, Just Dance 2014.

http://news.xbox.com/2013/10/games-smartglass

For DR3:

Here are the features Nick’s ZDC PDA will support:

Exclusive Side Missions and Rewards: You will receive phone calls and text messages from in-game characters on your SmartGlass device which will activate special missions exclusive to SmartGlass users. These missions have their own story that feeds back into the fiction of "Dead Rising 3" and will reward players with exclusive weapons and additional support applications for your ZDC PDA.

Mission Tracker: Track your progress towards all your active missions without having to pause and navigate the in-game menus. SmartGlass gives you a mission checklist as well as a map for quick reference as you fight your way through the zombie hordes.

Los Perdidos News Ticker: With the news ticker, you’ll get updates and hints on where zombie outbreaks are happening around the city, giving you an edge as you plan your escape (or attack!).
Real-Time Map: Shows your location in Los Perdidos, the location of your co-op player and other points of interest in the world.

Support Applications: Use the ZDC Military Support app to request drone gun support, military grade flares to distract zombies or an air strike to decimate an infected area. You can also utilize Item Finders to locate specific weapons, vehicles and stores scattered throughout Los Perdidos, or the Backup app to call in survivors to help you fight and get Hints to help with missions or boss fights.
Project Spark:

What we have created is not really a “companion” app as much as a mirror of the Xbox One experience, and more. It delivers the full power and visual fidelity of Xbox One with the additional benefit of the Windows 8 touch interface and a virtual keyboard on the device connected via SmartGlass. This means that you can play, create, and share on SmartGlass devices.

Anything you can do on your Xbox One in “Project Spark,” you can do with “Project Spark” on SmartGlass. This even includes playing games built with, and designed for, touch input.

SmartGlass infinitely expands the possibilities of “Project Spark” user-created games on Xbox One. For example, someone could create a touch-only based game and, using SmartGlass, Xbox One players can play, remix, and share that game without platform limitations. Creators could even create games where there is a mix between the two – a shooter or action game where controller works best, and then puzzles that require touch input to solve.
Just Dance

One of the SmartGlass-enabled features in "Just Dance" is the ability to set up endless playlists during gameplay. Players can set up play lists featuring their favorite "Just Dance 2014" songs like Psy’s “Gentlemen” or One Directions “Kiss you.” The player also has the ability to add or remove songs during gameplay allowing them to transform the soundtrack of the party instantly.

In addition, "Just Dance 2014" creates instant video recaps of a dance session in a feature called Autodance. Autodance videos feature the coolest moments of a party mixed together and presented as a music video at the end of a song. The player also has the ability to edit the videos and apply crazy and funny effects. This is where the SmartGlass functionality really shines! By using the touchscreen controls, players are able to edit these videos effortlessly in an editing suite.

Players will also have access to "Just Dance 2014’s" brand new PartyMaster game mode via SmartGlass. PartyMaster gives ultimate control to one player by letting them choose the next dance move in real-time on their smartphone or tablet and even switch tracks mid-song to become the DJ of the party.
I'm not that interested in using another device to access features in game, but some of these sound nifty.

Is this Smartglass stuff just for Windows 8 devices or are iPads and Android tablets included as well?

^ They're all included. They DO have apps right now, but the plan is to have a new Smartglass app to work with XO. The current version is 360-only, obviously, but is also greatly limited.

I played a ton of DOA4 and generally enjoy fighting games. I would also love to get into them multiplayer... but any lag online absolutely murders any fun.

BTW, don't know if you've tired it, though while it's more of the same, DOA5 (now available in an "Ultimate" version) is easily the best of the franchise and worth the asking price.

I would consider it but none of my friends are playing the game and with the XO around the corner I can't bring myself to buy anything for the 360. Buying GTAV was painful enough.

They hinted at it, they didn't flat out say it.

I've never heard of the site, but it also links to Advertising Age: http://adage.com/article/special-rep...keting/244605/

To their credit, you don't bring up your treasure trove of potential at an advertising convention without some sort of intent.

I can't say I'm surprised, and always assumed this was a factor in why the Kinect was mandatory. Are there sites that might show the potential revenue they stand to gain from this, maybe compared to similar data gathering sales in the past? I'm curious as to what might net them more, this, or say an average 3rd party game's sales.
