Very Slick the XB1 UI is really nice. I love the Minimalistic nature of it.
Nice updates for XB1 owners good to see MS acting on feedback.
"i doubt they will remove kinect as the xbox was built around motion controls some might call it a gimmick but thats what ms believed was going to change how we game." - I agree but I honestly don't think it's to change how we play. It's to change how you interact with the console and enhance your experience while gaming(Multi-tasking) or doing other stuff IMO. The features of the OS support that.
I see it has a navigation device first and a gaming peri...
"it has nothing to with the fact that it's selling in over 400% more countries" - And then you look at current figures and see them launching in the other countries won't help that much when PS4 is already leading in the countries they have launched in.
And Japan is basically lost unless the have some mega exclusive JRPG title or the likes to announce.
Those countries are not getting resupplies as much as US/UK and some other EU countries a...

"Shouldn't that be the most important thing? Why are you considering it the "least"? Are you suggesting that performance should have been downgraded to get better looking spectators, clouds, and trees? " - Yes it should am not saying it shouldn't. What am saying is that using it as some kind of benchmark for a *current-gen* performance is not impressive when you consider the graphical fidelity of the title on current gen hardware in compariso...
" The Order: 1886? Right now that game is struggling to do 30 fps @ 800p." - The game is also not out until 7+ months.
"Don't give any bull about black bars being an "artistic decision", either" - How ever much you want to spin it. The fact is it is the image is not getting upscaled it's the same as a 1080p image it terms of IQ and the chosen 2:40:1 aspect ratio is a design choice. They have acknowledged that that choice does come with a ...
I don't think we need this again it's the same thing iirc Phil Spencer said as well.
It's well documented that Forza 5 came at a big cost from it's vision from E3 to get to when it is now. At least the performance was really solid.
" As ever, the studio's exceptional car detailing steals the show in its authenticity, now bolstered by the materials texturing that sits well with the increased pixel-count. However, it's around this ...
Looks like nktrnl and Mort where right.
So free 1 month XBL and TF. MS sure are pushing TF hard. Will definitely help them quite a bit. I wonder why they didn't include the TF controller also.
"xbone is a 12 - 18TF console " - Oh yh I forgot about this one this is when he was claiming something about so called *local cloud* funny how all that has been dropped. Really the amount of goalpost this guy has moved is amazing.
"xbone SDK update will make all games 1080p @ 60fps" -Lmaooooo I remember that.
This is what is supposed to happen with the big update -
3th party
Xbox One - 1080p
PS4 - 1080p wi...
Simple answer - No.
Why because his so called insider's info as not once come to past. They have been moving goalposts for a while since early pre-launch.
By July if the XB1 is not beating the PS4 in Multi-plats you will have your answer because the magical *stereo* drivers, 128MB Esram, HSA and whatever else is supposed to be alive.
Also if you see 1080p patches for BF4 and AC4.
Also it's highly funny some people cho...
It's rumoured to be an RPG right?
Loool ikr. It's like he/she doesn't think what that actually means.
*It means the games are not on your HDD at all and will be stream via your internet* meaning HDD space won't even be a issue in the first place.
Especially when Planetside 2 comes out. Am pretty sure they will have some big MP games but their focus has always been SP games for a long time which a large amount of people still enjoy. If someone cares that much about MP then XB1 or PC is a better fit for them.
In the same sense of things MP can also hurt the appeal of a game if it's feels *tacked* on. Not everything needs MP.
Also add to the fact PSN is free on PS3. Not trying to defend to move but if online is not that much I can understand why they shut some of them down.
"There is unlimited space in the cloud" - Yh sure not for game installs there isn't. It's for save files only and your licenses and such which are already tied to your account.
"When the warranty is over put whatever HDD you want in." Seeing as the standard warranty is 12 months and it's only been about 4 months you sure as hell are going to be waiting a long time. Not adding to the fact it's not easily replaceable based on the teardowns. ...

So it's just cosmetic stuff you won't access to? Weird but at least not as shitty as not being able to re download the other DLCs. One of the reasons I don't like/see the value in most DLCs.
@ic3fir3
"And big downgrade http://bit.ly/1e3msk8" - Right trying to prove something with pictures from misterx it's helping your argument. Any ways when the game launches in march DF will be there show your so called *big downgrade*.
He would have true if he actually decided to think before making such claims let alone researching first. Yh if he decided to add viewing distance then he would have had a better case because then it actually depends on the size of the screen which makes sense. I mean it's only common sense you don't need even need research to know that apart from getting to right numbers.
It's just the very fact that they all agreed and shrugged the difference off based on what h...

"The naked eye can not perceive a difference between 1080 and 720 before 50 inches" - Wat????? Holy shit...
I guess my eyes has been deceiving me all this time even though I can spot the difference easily on my laptop screen that isn't even native res yet alone talking about my Tv.Really that is biggest BS i have heard in a while.
The conversion was actually going well until the BS statement above.
Was this discussion/defense even done in the last console gen times?
If not then it's really hypocritical of the press to start mass defending res/framerate differences considering the gap is a lot more now than it was for X360 & PS3.
Also it's interesting they picked 900p not 720p
So TF, AC4, BF4 to all get 1080p patches.
Right we shall wait and see.
