The dravatar thing Forza 5 uses is quite innovative. It's surprising good. You feel like you are racing other human ai and not bots.
For me that's an innovation but agree there isn't a lot of scope in a driving game.
No issues for me.
Fingers crossed.
It was absolutely the right decision to include it with every console. MS were brave to stand their ground on this issue in the face of the other changes they were reluctantly forced to make.
It will get support as a result unlike the Sony copy.
It adds great features to the system. Voice control is great, as is Skype. The kids love feeding elephants in zoo tycoon and I like the lean function in BF4.
All the flack and scare mongering before t...
Copy kinect - check.
Copy voice control - check.
Copy achievements - check.
Copy cross game chat - check.
Copy subscription model for online - check.
Copy control other devices - work in progress.
For balance I'm sure there is a boat load of stuff that MS has mimicked but for me MS are the ones who are braver to risk and innovate with X1. It's a great product and will evolve. MS want the living room and have a broader strategy a...
Forza 5 and battlefield 4 + Xbox One = great gaming clips ;)
Love how you can view your fiends clips so quickly.
Xbox record that!
Congrats MS.
Well If they sold more than the 360 launch then congrats is due as its an improvement regardless.
This is despite the fact that I think a lot of people are holding out for ps4.
Certainly 6 of my 39 xbox friends bought a day one just like me so far.
Its a great console. The way it handles tasks is so smooth and the games look great. I have Forza 5 and BF4 and played the FIFA demo. They all look and play really well.
Even the ...
The machine is designed to be a networked device. Just my opinion - no offence intended to those who have no or little net access.
My point is its 2013 and if you buy a state of the art 2013 home device you should expect it to need a 2013 setup at home.
There are prob better options for those without net access.
Troops overseas argument is valid but overused and represents a minority of potential user base with all due respect to the incred...
I want to know how the dedicated servers of X1 compare to the p2p of ps4?
The key is correct kinect calibration. Background room noise needs to be representative when you setup.
Works like a charm when done properly and the 'Xbox record that' command is my Fav so far. So many cool game clips to view and share with friends.
Loving the console. The multitasking setup and snap is a revelation. So smooth. A few minor things need tweaking but otherwise amazing living room hub. My tv only does 1080i so I'm stuck with 720p unt...
Snapping Netflix whilst playing a game is cooool.
Thanks!
My X1 is waiting for me at home. Saturday is sorted
Bollocks. It would melt.
If you don't have Internet you shouldn't buy an X1 to start with. Get a megadrive.
My Sky box is connected directly to my 5.1 amp system by toslink so no problem. I don't need surround through hdmi but im sure some do.
A simple software update could deal with this.
Good ol Apple. Don't innovate just buy it with all your mega cash.
Seriously does anyone really give a f*uck about this?
It's a disc. You put it in the console. Job done.
Very good.
Sensible scientific approach.
Shame it's needed at all but very helpful.
It's far too early to tell yet. I've seen a lot of different faults already but there is no indication of how widespread these are.
Thanks to social media the vocal few can be well publicised. I feel for these people I really do. I know how annoyed I would be if my console died after only a few hours.
I hope my x1 next week is not a bad apple but some unfortunately will be and N4G will make those seem like the end of the world.
The fact is you shouldn't need to resort to sorting any issues with a brand new product.
Not tested or QA properly.
Lol at those now saying DS3 was rubbish when they defended to the hilt last gen. I hated the DS3, rubbish pad but great battery life.
