While completely ignoring the option to use voice chat. Something that I would guess is way more important than text chat in twitch stream. I don't know if you've ever used twitch, in my experience it's almost impossible to keep track of what's going on in the textchat. Let alone respond properly, even with a keyboard and the speed at which you can type.That's way I said- "In order to chat you'd have to have some type of keyboard attached (not sure if possible), use speech recognition (not sure if possible), or hit the snap button, go into the chat window and use the controller for input." because I don't know it's going to work yet.
You asserted that snapping twitch is a negative because it "requires" a keyboard to chat with viewers, ignoring the large positive fact that you can just chat directly via Kinect/headset without ever taking you eyes or hands away from the game.
Ignoring positives to invent negatives.
..So it didn't crash. Lucky boy. MS reps probably had a kill room prepped and waiting in case something went wrong.

After reading the past couple of pages it is clear to me that some people are truly incapable of seeing any positive uses of the snap feature. You, weekend_warrior, are one of those people.

maybe it was running in a pc, thats why it did not crash.
there is absolutely no chance that this OS will be stable on the xbone. right?
Hope this works well by launch for people looking to get an xbone, but I don't know how well it'd work for my friends when their internet already dies just from streaming youtube via wifi without any other things going on. Seems like it'll be pretty network heavy.
In this thread, many people get angry about a feature they don't want on a system they're not buying.
So voice chat is irrelevant? Learn something new every day. You better go ahead and spread the word, many millions of gamers are chatting the wrong way.I didn't mention "ability to stream directly from the xbox" or "accept game invites" either because they're irreverent to the comparison of multi-tasking with Snap versus multitasking with a tablet/PC. For some reason that's not getting through to some of you people.
It could be stable. Not because of sound engineering, but because a million code monkeys died while patching it up. If I were an MS exec, though, I'd have another million monkeys locked in a warehouse doing nothing but mock-ups in a completely separate code base. Because what the OS actually is makes no fucking difference. It is what people perceive it to be.
I don't really use voice chat much myself, preferring text unless we were in a party.So voice chat is irrelevant? Learn something new every day. You better go ahead and spread the word, many millions of gamers are chatting the wrong way.
That wasn't what I was trying to get to. I also don't use voice for 100% of my communication. But saying that voice chat is "irrelevant" is crazy.I don't really use voice chat much myself, preferring text unless we were in a party.
But even then I just used a laptop or tablet via xbox.com. I think even with snap that'd be my preferred method. Maybe I'm weird though.

You do realize that only the first sentence is serious?I hope you're not serious with this post.
The reading comprehension is this thread is appalling.
It's a fucking shame that this applies to every single Microsoft related thread.

I haven't read throught the whole thread, but what are ppl complaining about? The Snap feature?

Well I hope that means things get fixed! I hate the thought of an unfinished OS ruining peoples experience.
If you're implying that I said voice chat is irreverent then you need to go back to school and re-learn how to read.
Mostly that the snap feature isn't as useful as it's being made out to be.
I see. Don't use it then? :/Yes.

How did we get from snap is slow and worthless to comparing text chat to voice chat?
Care to join me, so you can learn how to formulate proper arguments?If you're implying that I said voice chat is irreverent then you need to go back to school and re-learn how to read.
So according to you! Voice in twitch is irreverent, and thus irrelevant. Only because accepting game invites and steaming from the console are irreverent, in your eyes, when compared to other options."I didn't mention "ability to stream directly from the xbox" or "accept game invites" either because they're irreverent to the comparison of multi-tasking with Snap versus multitasking with a tablet/PC"

well, apparently people are upset that the feature is what is taking up some of the 10% reserved so if it's not useful, it's actually detrimental since it uses resources that take away from games.
the counter argument is that it *is* useful and worth the tradeoff.
There is no right or wrong answer here. It needs to be proven useful or not. We can't do that right now so the debate goes on unresolved.
if/when we start seeing demos of practical applications that make people say "ok yeah, now *that's* cool", then maybe you could settle this.
And like I mentioned the website works just fine for text messaging.I would imagine you'll be able to use any smart glass compatible device to type text also

Oh, now I get it.
Personally I think it's pretty cool. And 10% of system resources don't seem like a lot... after all, with time this will be cut down to a much better number, obviously...

I called you out because you were completely ignoring voice chat. And explained why voice is an important part of twitch, maybe even more important than text. You responded to me with the following So according to you! Voice in twitch is irreverent, and thus irrelevant.

I think the only one of these features that I want on PS4 is the ability to use the web browser without quitting the game. Can the PS4 do that does anyone know?

This should be the first post..but I guess that wouldn't make sense....In this thread, many people get angry about a feature they don't want on a system they're not buying.

Not quite. PS4 has the "pause and resume" feature, which isn't available at launch btw, that lets you pause the game, leave it, use another app like internet, then resume where you left off. Hopefully pretty quickly, I think it saves your save state in the RAM so the transition is quick.
The question on my mind is why would anyone want to use IE and Bing?
I'm not against the snapping ability, but I'm not sure how useful it really will be. Browsing on the console is a poor substitute to using a second screen.

I don't see why would it be network heavy.
What you described is available at launch. Putting the PS4 into standby mode with the game running and then resuming when you turn it back on is not at launch. In other words, you can jump out of PS4 games at launch without quitting to use netflix and stuff.
Man, you're full of all kinds of bad information. It's available at PS4 launch. Sleep/Resume isn't.
