Xbox One features, specs & release date

Here are some of the features of Xbox one as well as the specs and release dates.

One of the controversies is about the disc-based games, especially pre-owned games. Ok, so Microsoft said that they will not take fees from gamers for buying pre-owned games but those who are planning to sell their games, they can only sell those to a participating retailers. There is still no announcement from Microsoft regarding the selling and buying price of pre-owned games.

In addition to that, you can give your games to a friend of yours given that he/she is already your friend for 30 days but it is not clear whether that person can sell the game or not.

For all of these to be implemented, Xbox One requires a regular internet connection as they need to check your games every 24 hours.

Your friends can play your Xbox One games as long as they play it on your console. You can also play your Xbox One games in any console using your Xbox Live account (this is only for digital copies).

So enough of that, let us now go to the specs.

Destiny of Spirits coming to PS Vita

So another Free-to-play game is coming to the PS Vita. Destiny of Spirits is said to be released later this year. It is a location-based strategy game where players from around the world will play cooperatively in a  turn-based action to battle fierce bosses to unlock an expansive virtual world.

The feature as described as:

"Using location technology, the game places players on a global map, creating a hyper-social experience, where the player is connected to and working with others collectively to progress and unlock powerful new Spirits that can be unleashed during combat to defeat enemies."

So this will be an online game where I think player interaction will be a huge factor which what an online game should be. This game looks promising and excites me reading the description alone and I can't wait for the trailer. I'll keep you all posted when the exact release date is announced and a trailer and screenshots are released. Have a nice day! more.
