id Software has already proven the Xbox One is capable of running games at 1080p 60fps thanks to Doom and their idTech6 engine. We should stop talking about stupid console war bait topics like this article and focus on praising companies like id Software for their accomplishments.
I've been playing over the weekend, it's a blood fueled adrenaline rush to say the least. A modern take of a throw-back to old school FPS shooters. The gameplay itself is superb (takes a couple matches to get used to since it's not the A-typical modern bro shooter), but really what game doesn't? Customization is great, lots of variation, appears they won't be gouging money from your wallet. A taunt that is $5 in a different game is a free unlock in this game. Doom is going...
Please stop pre-ordering games. It's so pointless.

Either way only Microsoft and Remedy get your money if you buy the game. Also, since when did display resolution determine how good a game is? There's no denying that the game looks great regardless of how many pixels it is rendering.
If you've spent $1500+ on a gaming PC and you enjoy the more focused/engaging aspect of playing games on the PC then there really isn't much reason for the Xbox One if MS continues to bring all of their exclusives to Windows 10. If you don't have a beefy gaming PC and you enjoy a more laid-back and relaxing couch gaming session then having an Xbox One still makes perfect sense. I am not upset at all that MS are bringing their exclusives to Windows 10, they are both MS platforms an...

He just did it for the attention.
Let's take a step back in time and compare the Xbox 360 & PS3 at time of their respective launches to the current Xbox One and PS4. Xbox 360 launched Nov 22 2005 and by end of 2007 had sold 10.9 million consoles(official reported numbers). The Xbox One in the same time-frame has sold almost 7 million more consoles(though this is estimated). PS3 launched Nov 11 2006 and by end of 2008 had sold 21.3 million consoles(official reported numbers). The PS4 in the same time-frame has sold al...
It's normally like 45 minutes to an hour before a game is ready to play for me. Not 100% completely downloaded mind you, but downloading ~60GB of data is known to take quite a while considering my normal wifi DL speed on my Xbox One is around 3MB/s. Regular math will show that downloading 60GB of data at 3MB/s (assuming it is a consistent 3MB/s connection) yields ~5 hours. But I don't have a good opinion on installing games from disc as the only Xbox One game disc I own is Blops 3 and...
In my personal experience I have not ran into any of the issues that the author listed in the article. The Xbox One is no different from the other 2 gaming consoles, they all have their pros and cons. Extremely minute details are almost always going to be different on each platform, just because you are accustomed to how to do a specific task on one does not mean you will instantly know how to do that exact same task on another platform. As with anything new, it will take a little time to lea...
True that. It's ironically saddening to the point that it practically makes me sick how Valve evolved into a digital distributor while doing some part-time multi-player only game development on the side. They truly have the single best business practice anybody could ever dream of: stupendously little amounts of effort with stupendously gigantic net revenues. How joyous it once felt to actually be excited for new games and projects coming from Valve, now I don't even think of Valve an...
I've owned 2 Xboxes now, currently the elite model, never have either one had a single problem with my WiFi. Sucks that your box is having issues. Its the exact opposite for me and my PS4, that thing has consistent issues with my WiFi. No other device in my house has any issues at all, just my PS4 its very frustrating
As excited as I am for BTB it does disappoint me a tad bit that they are using Forge to make these maps instead of directly writing new asset codes for dedicated maps. Not that the current Halo 5 Forge made maps are terrible but I feel they aren't as good as the regular maps. All in all, still pretty excited for BTB again!
That's what the article is saying. Trade in your current Xbox One and get the Elite console which comes with the elite controller for $250 and you also can get a 2nd standard controller and a free game from the 6th till the 8th.
Halo 5: The Avengers
Seriously did they get freakin' Joss Whedon himself to direct this. That was pure adrenaline to the max craziness - CANNOT WAIT FOR HALO 5!!!
@King
What about all of those people who don't have a gaming PC? Also like 99% of the articles about this, it's more useful for when somebody else is using the TV so you can just go to you're bedroom or computer room and easily stream some Halo 5 or Forza 6 to your PC with no hassle. It's really only about convenience.
When looking at Driveclub's rain it appears the water droplets were randomly appearing then disappearing whereas on Forza each water droplet that hit stayed and moved in a real physical manner. Not to say that it's a complaint or anything on DC's part, they both look absolutely fantastic, it serves no real purpose in comparing the two.
@Ezz2013
It's satire.
I'm hopeful that valve will start to reveal some new games, albeit sequels or new IPs, after they finish porting their current money makers(dota2, TF2, and CS:GO) to the new Source 2 engine. I still wouldn't be surprised if they also decided to just stop making new games altogether and just rake in their millions with their current line-ups. I do feel totally shafted as a consumer and huge fan that they ended HL2E2 on that cliffhanger only to never finish the story. Even having Marc L...
I'm still waiting on the G920 to release for Forza Motorsport 6. Planning on getting that and an OpenWheeler racing mount.
Anybody else having problems with this video and Chrome? After clicking on play the video literally disappears but I can still hear the audio.
