Support NeoGAF

[Chamber]

Not quite liking that clusterfuck of squares in the options there. Overall though, I really like the multitasking and overall speed both Xbox One and PS4 seem to have with their OS. Single biggest issue with current consoles is how long it takes to accomplish simple things.

 

[Zeth]

How do you know it's not a controlled leak? Showed off a bit of multitasking and then the intro of Ryse which we've already seen (used to demonstrate the speed of multitasking).

We didn't really see anything Microsoft wouldn't want us to see or that makes their system look bad.

Oh god, you might be thinking too hard about it, what's more likely? Btw. which gaffer is this:

PS4 UI looks better, imo. (In before calling out my user name)

 

[Emitan]

I wonder if you can boot straight to the game in the drive still.

 

[kasane]

This kid is in a mountain of trouble. He showed his own face and the face of his family. Good riddance.

 

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

DAT MULTITASKING

I don't understand if you really mean that or you're just sarcastic because he didn't really do anything like use skype or browse online while playing, he just went into the menu without pausing the game.

 

[BY2K]

I don't get it. How did he get this thing? Devkit cost a lot more than retail units and there's no way he could just have walked outside of a studio with one in his arms.

 

[Jb]

No ads! The games you own don't seem to be burried in sub-menus! Hallelujah! I kind of wish they dropped the Windows 8 coloring of the tiles though, go for something slicker like black.

 

[Karsticles]

Meh, not big on the W8 metro look.

Ditto. It looks so slapped together, and the random boxes are not aesthetically pleasing.

 

[benny_a]

Is it a good idea for it to keep playing after you try and multitask out of it?

Depending on what other things you can do with the console, I think it could be quite useful. I'm mainly thinking of long loading times, or multiplayer lobbies where you're waiting for the next round.
Maybe even a Fighting Game lobby where it isn't your turn for awhile.

 

[Chance Hale]

I think people forget that Microsoft actually updates the 360 dash often, it looks somewhat similar since the last revamp wasn't that long ago as compared to Sony who have used the XMB for 7 years now.

Looks nice though, given it's Metro all the tiles will be movable, can change the size, etc. The multi-tasking looked great and fast as well, interested to see if the pause is still developer chosen or if all games will continue to run during the home out.

 

[EvB]

in before people claims it's faked by MS.

Intentional leak by MS to garner X1 support.

BOOM

 

[BluePigGanon]

Motherfucking fuck. Now I want to see a Kinect-less SKU for $399.

Will never happen.

 

[Emitan]

Why would there be ads pre-launch? There will be ads.

 

[soulassssns]

LOL, ripped the file just in case it is taken down.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Fast but looks booty.

 

[kuppy]

Come on DetectiveGAF, I wanna know what his daddy or mum works as at MS.

 

[paradise_circus]

The suspendfeature of games is really cool, but the layout looks #meh.

 

[Community Forum]

Wow, it's really fast.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Hello there white stickers, what are you hid......

CURSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[V_Ben]

I don't get it. How did he get this thing? Devkit cost a lot more than retail units and there's no way he could just have walked outside of a studio with one in his arms.

Parent probably an employee, has a home unit for testing.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I hate the dashboard.

 

[Iacobellis]

I thought it was pretty myself. Loved the green and white, especially the customization.

Customization had dwindled down with each version. Blades allowed you change each tab and the mini-Dashboard that appeared in a game or app.

 

[xxracerxx]

Wow, it's really fast.

It better be, can you imagine the outrage if it was slow.

 

[RukusProvider]

Is it a good idea for it to keep playing after you try and multitask out of it?

Yeah. Imagine being able to do other things while yet another 90min cutscene of MGSV might have 10seconds of story progression in it. That alone is worth it.

 

[Avatar1]

Ugh. I have to look at this metro crap for a whole new generation. Lovely...

At least the switching is fast... until this thing gets bloated with ads. Sigh. I hope you can at least customize this interface more than you could with the 360's.

 

[pharmboy044]

Motherfucking fuck. Now I want to see a Kinect-less SKU for $399.

CBOAT said there might be a Kinectless SKU coming out next spring.

 

[kadotsu]

Love the suspend mode for games. I hope it supports more than one game suspended.

 

[Soulflarz]

He's finally been approved? Last I heard is that GAF isn't letting him have an account on here.

Check his tweets with evillore :3

Call the FBI!

 

[hateradio]

Reminds me of directly booting to the desktop.

Maybe by Xbox One Point One Blue

 

[NoTacos]

Windows 8 layout looks great as a console UI. Runs surprisingly smooth as well

 

[Troll]

Is it a good idea for it to keep playing after you try and multitask out of it?

Well, he did show that you can pause the game. It just doesn't happen by default right now. So apparently in it's current state you're going to have to manually pause the app then go to the dash if you want it to tombstone the current application running whether it's a game, music, ect.

 

[RichieJNES]

I would hope that you could change the colors of the tiles (Bright green ). But yeah the load times are pretty quick due to what I think is the pause anytime feature.

 

[Monocle]

What does Microsoft have against lists? It would be so much faster to navigate a list with a rapid scrolling speed than futz around with those awkward tiles.

 

[Valnen]

Intentional leak by MS to garner X1 support.

Yeah I would think this would be deleted already if it wasn't intentional, right?

 

[Iacobellis]

CBOAT said there might be a Kinectless SKU coming out next spring.

I can see it happening to coincide with Titanfall. But, even then, the PS4 would still offer more power for the same price. I'm thinking $349 or bust.

 

[soundscream]

CURSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dust

THE DUST!!!

 

[velociraptor]

Looks like Windows 8.

Not a fan personally. The entire UI looks extremely busy.

 

[botty]

I wonder how many ads this thing will be able to run.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I love that it minimizes the playing game so you can multitask or do something else if you're having to watch an unskippable cutscene.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

I get more hyped over this kind of stuff than I do for the launch games.

 

[everyday math]

Exactly why I don't like it. Urg.

 

[RedAssedApe]

A price drop in 6 months? They would need to be in terrible shape. Thinking like wiiu type sales

 

[iamshadowlark]

Is it a good idea for it to keep playing after you try and multitask out of it?

Seems like something thats alot cooler than sensible.

 

[Emitan]

Xbox One isn't even out yet and it's already covered in dust. Wrap up this gen, folks. It's over.

 

[LukasTaves]

So, a TED talks app on the Apps view, huh?

This thing is so going to run W8 apps!

 

[chugen]

oh my, so dirtyyy

 

[soulassssns]

That dust and finger prints. Wow

 

[Epinephrine]

I love that it minimizes the playing game so you can multitask or do something else if you're having to watch an unskippable cutscene.

Was that an unskippable cutscene?

Anyways it is nice to have that option if you can switch to it instantly without habing to nabigate through the tiles.

And why did he show his face?

 

[JawzPause]

Who is this guy? Why doesn't he give a shit if he's caught?
