Sadly, when the launch window consists of CoD, a CoD clone, another CoD clone, a zombie beat'em up which is trying to steal the CoD audience, yet another milking of an already stale Ubisoft franchise, four annual sports games... yeah, I don't think Microsoft has that kind of foresight. The only aces they really have up their sleeve for the forseeable future is Killer Instinct, and uh... that one game that had people launching records at things, what the fuck was that called again? Sunset Overdrive or something? Frankly though even if Microsoft somehow picks their game up I'm pretty much counting on them fucking it up for us somehow once the Xbone finally starts moving numbers. (kudos to anyone who guesses all of those formermost games, incidentally) Funnily enough while I was googling for that, I discovered that Kinect is actually weighing the system down, by an absolute minimum of ten percent of its processing power at any given time. Is that in addition to the several gigs of ram that its OS uses? |

Only Titanfall and Forza look good at launch, but I'm not getting any console at launch. |

At the moment, Sunset Overdrive is the only game that makes me want an Xbox One. Particularly because it's similar to the game Insomniac was making before EA focus tested it and turned it into what is now Fuse. Everything else will be on the PS4. And, all things considered, since the PS4 has exclusives of some actual fucking interest, I'll take that. Also, I've played Titanfall and it was pretty average, at best.

Dead Rising 3? That and Titanfall would be what sells me... I can do without a racing game. I'm still not sure what to get for PS4 now that Watchdogs isn't coming. At least they have free games on a weekly basis unlike the bone, so there's always choices. I'm so backed up on free games I want to play as it is. |

Article's worded a bit confusingly, but the basic jist is that, whenever Xbox Live Compute updates (that's their cloud tech), it'll most likely force every single Xbox One to reboot. Whether you're in the middle of a session or not. The original source, however, is a lot clearer. It sounds more along the lines that, games that are especially reliant on the cloud (Titanfall, for instance, offloads all the AI and NPC crap to the cloud, meaning you'll need to be online 24/7) will become unplayable for a short time every now and then, as when Microsoft updates the host OS, their cloud server machines will be forced to reboot. Think along the lines of MMOs like WoW, which go offline for maintenance at least once a week. Edited by Luffy Foxtrot, Nov 6 2013, 04:06 PM.

As long as they're announced and reasonable time periods, I'm okay with this. I'd be better off with them leaving parts of it online while patching the other parts (IE True MMO server management, where only the stupid take out all the servers at once) |

I'd like to get Titanfall, Halo 5, and Kingdom Hearts 3. But sadly, that is it for the moment. At least I'm getting Zelda for the 3ds lol. Oh and Destiny. I do want that game bad. |

I think we gathered that Microsoft is using QR codes now in place of the ones you had to hand-type for the 360? Well if this is to be believed, now you can redeem codes within seven seconds, provided you use voice commands. This is one of the few legitimate improvements on the Xbone I can't actually fault Microsoft on. |

Only in Japan. Everywhere else it'll be on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game topic is in the general gaming thread for a reason, yanno. |

Microsoft won't be providing a Gaikai-like service for the streaming of 360 games from a cloud server to Xbox One consoles any time soon. While Halo 4 was shown to be playable on PCs and Windows Phones via cloud streaming at a Microsoft Company event a while ago, Albert Penello says that it's just not going to be a decent solution for some people.
So, basically, if Microsoft does offer that kinda option for Xbox One in the future, it'll be a few years from now, at least, when the idea of streaming games over a constant, neverending connection is actually viable/guaranteed to work for nearly everyone. |

Oh fuck you and your hypocritical bullshit, Microsoft. You try to shaft and ridicule everyone who doesn't have a stable internet connection, make your console literally unplayable to those that don't have one, tote around the INFINITE POWER OF THE CLOUD like it's some god-given gift to gaming... but when it comes to implementing a feature that's been standard in consoles for two generations, now you're suddenly all like "oh but not everyone has an awesome internet"? Get fucked.

And here's a so-called "live demo" of the Xbox One UI, as presented by Marc Whitten and Yusuf Mehdi. At about 1:10 into the video, Yusuf gets up to take a piece of cloth off of the Kinect to show off how quickly the device can sign you in, but I swear to god the cloth isn't actually over the fucking lens. The cloth's over the center of the Kinect, but the camera's on the far left side. So what the hell? Anyway, whether it's actually a proper demo of the software, or just more marketing bullshit is up to you. Just keep in mind that half of this info is useless to a number of us, because voice commands are only set for US launch currently. Possibly more, but we all know that America's the only country that matters. Ever. Edited by Luffy Foxtrot, Nov 8 2013, 03:25 PM.
