The box is downstairs so that my parents can watch it and i'd rather not pay extra per month to have the multi room. I have access to SkyGo which I watch on my 360

You don't read my post before you responded with your canned answers. I'm too stubborn to let it go.
#1 was fitness+TV, not fitness+gaming
#2 both ways work but as an achievement whore, it would be nice to have it up on the TV instead of having to control two devices and look at two places. Once the video is up, it's much easier to mimic the actions if both sources are on the same screen.
#3 what the fuck does Vita have to do with Xbox One? You're just trying to instigate a console war. Both Vita+TV and snap+TV accomplish the same thing, but only one is possible on each system. There is an advantage to seeing both at once, though. Your eyes can't focus on Vita+TV at the same time.
How are you going to spell xbfdy420x's channel with voice commands faster than typing them?

rawpower doesn't really determine what level of texture fidelity you can output. Ram is the big kicker and if they're having trouble with the ESRAM since it's a more complicated way to store things. Then it could be an issue in keeping a stable framerate. It's memory pool isn't unified like the PS4 and so that certainly could be causing trouble.
So many people are forgetting that at the start of this current generation we were running games in 480!!! 480!! People!

Looks good. I'm really digging this.. However, this Gaf hating in the comment section? Straight McDonald's French fries.. My goodness. Gaf has really become popular
Channel names like that are a good point but it's not the only way to do searching on video sites. A simple "(name of game)" + "(name of character or level) tips" should work in most cases.

They better get this working.
The only reason I like the snap feature is doing something while in a grindy game.
If you consider the Wii to be current gen then there are lots.

I google nearly every single video I need. Bing would actually be good for that. Why are you here again? To shit on every use case that isn't yours?
You are the reason shit is so toxic around here. You have no interest in this product yet you are here telling people that what they are excited about is dumb and/or wrong.
Fuck that.

look at the back at some old games like uncharted one, it should say 480. They had to have that as a definition because 720 and 1080 were pretty new at the start generation. Though I believe the game is native 720.

People are just pointing out that we live in a time where it's already quick and convenient to do the same things that snap is showing. If things like laptops, tablets and smartphones weren't so prevalent then this would be a much more interesting feature. Had this been a "free" feature it wouldn't be a problem at all, but it's not, every bit of CPU/GPU or RAM that snap requires gets taken away from what the games get, and that's going to affect the console it's entire 5+ year lifesnap. So it's a questionable if a load-heavy feature like this is really necessary.

I wish that MS would have cranked up the specs to compensate. And yet they did the opposite. That's why I'm starting this gen with my multiplatforms on PS4. Xbox One has work to do to win me back for anything other than exclusives.
I like the innovation, though. It makes this gen feel more exciting than it would otherwise. PS4 is a lot more boring box out of the gate since it's coolest new features aren't coming until next year.

I thought that was one of the things not there for PS4 launch? has this ever been demonstrated? has it even been announced? I'll give the benefit of the doubt, but there's been nothing to suggest this feature (and no, just because Vita does it doesn't automatically mean PS4 does it).

The one not included at launch would be the suspend/resume feature which is turning off your PS4 then when you turn it back on the game would still be there. They're not the same as switching apps on a powered on PS4.

I don't get it, why does bf4 have the same textures on both ps4 and xbox one when dice said they weren't gimping any console?
Ps4 even has trouble materializing some textures according to DF.

Well said. There seems to be a lot of people on these forums who can't seem to accept the value in something because it doesn't suit them, and must insist on debunking it, that's probably why those commenters are going mad on youtube.
On a side note, what's with the pay wall digs every single time xbox one apps are mentioned. Lets be honest, only a handful, if anyone from this forum will have an xbox one without gold anyway. The paywall digs were irrelevant anyway, the apps weren't working because you weren't signed into a Microsoft account (they're free) not because you weren't signed into an xbox live gold account.

The key phrase is "on this forum".
50% of current Xbox users don't have LIVE Gold.

You're throwing raw meat into a pack of hungry wolves. The bloodthirst for all (bad) things Xbox seems to be at an all time high.
This is a bit unprecedented since, when the previous generation launched, there were all kinds of things broken weeks before launch and the launches went ok for the most part. It puts the reps from the respective companies in a tough spot having to *prove* that something isn't going to be broken for launch when people would otherwise never have been the wiser about it. I'm not sure how I feel about that, tbh.

Snapping a "how to" achievement video is the real killer app. It would make finding all the jumps or doodads in the next GTA even easier! It was a pain to keep looking up and down, pausing and restarting.

Yep, but they argue the merits to other people on this forum, who would 99% of the same have a gold account, or get one on purchase of the xbox one anyway.

ok I must have misinterpreted that. but still, has app switching been announced and/or demonstrated? this close to launch, it seems like someone ought to have seen it by now if that were the case,

That's just the front page. I'm looking forward to seeing what it actually looks like as you go through the screens. The PS3 experience sucks and the 360 isn't much better.

Microsoft was never trying to target the highest level of graphics they could. They said it themselevs. The XB1 was clearly designed -hardware wise- from the Kinect up, and -software wise- as a trojan horse to leash together all their other (failing) products- surface and windows mobile. Sony probably surprised them by how high-end they went, but MS was probably never expecting parity, or they were expecting/hoping Sony would Kutaragiy the PS4 and build some strange hard to develop for console again.

I thought that yosp demoed that live? It's definitely in for day one, though I haven't seen a great video showing it off.
SeaOfMadness

That demo wasn't quite what I was thinking about. I wanted to see something like Netflix running then switch into a game, then back. Or browser to game and back. All they showed there was XMB to game, sharing with virtual keyboard and back to game.
Have they said you can do 3rd party app -> game -> app?
Dude you are being waaaay too defensive calm the crap down. You confirmed everything thuway said. Thuway said the os was jacked. We haven't seen anything other than the os working. Who gives a shit what CBOAT PMed you or what thuway said. You confirmed something that is seemingly wrong. Own up to it, forget about it and go on with your life. Who cares what some pathetic fanboy says to you online. If you can't handle that than maybe it would best for you not to discuss rumors.
SeaOfMadness

This sounds about right to me. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "Trojan horse" since it's a logical progression from 360. It's clear XB1 wants to be much more than a gaming system and if that meant sacrificing the highest specs in order to support some other scenarios, that was the gamble Microsoft went with. Whether this resonates with the general public remains to be seen. Stuff like this video seems to get people thinking, but it's way too early to draw any conclusions.

He didn't do any app switching, just spectated a KZ match, jumped into it and uploaded a screenshot.

Very true.
I agree. More demos should be released. There is a demo of Shu using the app switching on the Gamescom conference while playing KZ:SF. You should watch that if you have time.

Jesus Christ....bitterness and anger doesn't begin to cover this.
Can I just make a suggestion that we not post garbage from the YT comments section here?
I think the program was calling MS out on a buggy OS while its still in development.
I'm the Ihop insider guys, my source told me that the pancakes you're ordering tomorrow at breakfast are still just eggs and flour right now!
People just need to wait til the stuff is on their plate in front of them. If MS fucks it up, they will fail spectacularly.

I generally agree with that assessment. But before now I've never heard people say 720 is because of snap and now that snap is being shown off people are saying... oh this is what I get for 720p... lol.

I microwave steaks.
That sounds even better than what I had in mind. I've done that before with a laptop next to me. I am really starting to dig this snapping concept.
