It seems that apart from games having different languages, such as Japanese or English, Microsoft has more to worry about other than the language barrier. While Microsoft has not mentioned when their latest console will be released in Japan, a 2014 timeframe has been given and speaking with Weekly Famitsu, Microsoft Japan spokesperson Takashi Sensui has come forward with additional details about the Xbox One and how it will play nicely with the Japanese market and how it will cater to the culture as well. As Microsoft has marketed the Xbox One as a multimedia device, Sensui has revealed that the company has been in talks with local device manufacturers and content providers. (more…)

Much of the hype surrounding the actual next generation gaming consoles has now died down. Gamers are now looking forward to the new titles that leverage the improved performance offered by said consoles. EA and Respawn Entertainment are set to release the sci-fi shooter Titanfall in the near future. This highly anticipated game will be followed by a “must-have” commemorative companion released by Microsoft. The Xbox One Titanfall limited edition controller has been unveiled today, it will go on sale the same day Titanfall launches for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

This controller is the result of a collaborative effort of the Xbox design team with Respawn’s art department. Lead Artist at Respawn, Joel Emslie, said that the aim was to develop a controller that feels like “a piece of military spec hardware transported from the universe of Titanfall and into the players hands.” This wireless controller was inspired by the C-101 carbine that’s used by elite IMC Titan pilots of the Frontier in the game, it has been crafted to offer maximum authenticity in color as well as graphics. The Xbox One Titanfall limited edition controller costs $64.99, it will be available on March 11th in North America and March 13th in Europe.

Just like the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft’s Xbox One is expected to feature live streaming of games where gamers can tune in to watch other games play games, do live commentary, and so on. While the PlayStation 4’s streaming is up and running, Microsoft’s service still remains MIA and did not manage to make it to the Xbox One’s release, and the bad news for gamers looking forward to that particular feature is that you guys might have to wait for a few more months until Microsoft decides that it is good to go. This is according to a tweet from Twitch TV themselves who wrote, “Xbox One Direct Broadcasting: There is no ETA at this time from Microsoft. Expect a few more months. If we know sooner, we’ll update.”

The integration with Twitch TV was announced during Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2013, which was more than half a year ago, so we have to wonder why it is taking them so long. While not officially confirmed by Microsoft or Twitch TV, some have speculated that the reason why Microsoft is taking so long is because they might be trying to figure out a way to prevent unsavory materials to be streamed live, which is what happened with Sony’s streaming service where people took advantage of the live stream to broadcast adult videos, causing Sony to remove Twitch support for The Playroom augmented reality demo. However this is only speculation but either way if video streams are what you are after on the Xbox One, you could be in for a wait.
