評測報告：未來游戲機Xbox One志在客廳

????Xbox One有兩款殺手級的獨家游戲。《羅馬之子》剛開始比較具有迷惑性，似乎只是一個簡單的、可以預知情節的砍砍殺殺的動作游戲。但漸漸地，隨著圖層的不斷展開，它開始變得復雜起來，逐漸推出讓玩家獲取經驗值的新動作和戰略，讓他們的戰士獲得度身定制的技能，執行有趣的砍殺任務。而車迷們可能會花上幾十個鐘頭在《極限競速5》里賽車和改裝車，它可以隨著玩家技巧水平的不同而變得同樣簡單或深入。

????結論。一款新游戲機會因為始發游戲而遭遇熱賣或滯銷兩種不同的命運，這正是Xbox One勝過PlayStation 4的地方。《羅馬之子》和《極限競速》都是極其出色的經典游戲，它們應該有希望讓這款機子在假期大賣。

????微軟和索尼都將自己的游戲機定位為專為客廳打造的多功能娛樂中心，但是有些消費者可能只會根據價格來做出決定（畢竟PlayStation要便宜100美元）。但是如果微軟能消除語音識別和快照功能的一些性能問題，要做出選擇也并不困難：要看清Xbox One的未來增長潛力要容易得多，只需要10秒時間，再說出一句最簡單的指令：“啟動吧，Xbox！”。(財富中文網）

????Xbox One has two killer exclusive titles. Ryse: Son of Rome starts off feeling like a deceptively simple and predictable hack-and-slash action adventure but gradually layers on more complex gameplay, introducing new moves and strategies for players to earn experience, customize their warrior's skills, and execute entertaining execution kills. And car aficionados will likely spend tens of hours racing and tuning up their cars in Forza Motorsport 5, where the gameplay is as superficial or as deep as the player's skill level.

????The verdict. A new console may live or die based on its initial games, and here is where the Xbox One trumps the PlayStation 4. Both Ryse and Forza Motorsport are the kind of graphical showcases that should move consoles throughout the holiday season.

????Microsoft and Sony are positioning their consoles as multi-purpose entertainment hubs for the living room, and some consumers may make their decision simply based on price. (After all, the PlayStation 4 is $100 less.) But if Microsoft can iron out some performance quirks around voice recognition and Snap, the decision won't be too hard: it's far easier to glimpse the future potential in the Xbox One, starting with 10 seconds of time and the simple two-word voice command: "Xbox on."????????
