It may depend on the game.
For example, I can use the ps3's XMB easily in Battlefield 1943 and yet it lags in Batlefield 3.

That's corroboration, not breaking things like he does on his blog/staking his rep on it like he does everything else. got 1080p BF4 wrong too, but when in Rome...
Like I said, I want moar. Cough it up MS. Give us the deetz! Getting real tired of this evade game
Surprise surprise. What took you so long to show up to this thread?
Well...

Just checked my order on Amazon UK but nothing changed, and didn't recieve an update of any kind in the past month. What does the update say? Mine is still scheduled for day one delivery
Will be nice to use when that eventually comes to the XB1.

Oh lord. Yes, I heard that snap was causing problems. I'm still hearing that snap is causing problems. What i wrote about on my blog has nothing to do with snap.

Hrm? If Dell is to be believed, all Windows 8 apps work on XB1, right?
It'd make sense for all the snap stuff too, considering that's a Windows 8 thing and I'm pretty sure this is how they want people to move to that.
Basically XBone is a gateway drug to the other things ^_^

Apologies, I was basing my comments off that tweet.
Can you expand on what you're hearing. Does it crash after prolonged use or are the crashes game specific.

Out of curiosity, did anyone state otherwise?

Very nice! When I'm eventually a home owner (renting atm) I'll make an area similar! For the record, whilst you can see everything on your skydrive when clicking the sharing link, I think others will only be able to navigate to your shared content. I always have the same paranoia when sharing from skydrive, so test with another browser which isn't logged in

Damn well better.
I really hope MS opens up the store on XB1.
At least for apps that have shown their worth on Windows 8 if they're wanting to keep the crappy apps out of peoples living rooms.
I don't know why people listen to Thuway. When MS announced they were using 3 gigs of ram for the OS he was the first in that thread claiming that it definitively meant MS didn't care about games. Multimedia comes first. The proof being the memory. Then a few months later came the thread about Sony using 3.5. Guess who was there first telling everyone complaining to stop and that it was more than enough memory? Yep. I'm not saying his info is wrong. He's just not the guy to be delivering the news. He and Mort are self-professed Sony fans. So am I after all that's happened. But to see them report bad MS rumors with such glee is disgusting.

I'm utterly baffled as to why anyone would want this. To each their own, but some people act like this is revolutionary, game-changing stuff. I can't ever imagine using this - if I want to go to a website, I'll use the laptop sitting next to me. If I want to watch something, then I don't want to play a game. Maybe some of you can watch sports or a show while being engaged in a video game - I can't.

From the MS memory reserve thread:
And in the thread about PS4 memory that got locked, he quoted a bunch of posts from people worried that reserving more memory than MS could be a problem:
Again, not saying his sources aren't legit. My problem is how incredibly disingenuous he is. So I personally take the snap rumors with a huge grain of salt. Especially given that even Cboat says it's perfectly possible that any current issues could be worked out by launch. In other words, just like every hardware release...ever.

Well I had gotten a PM from cboat which I was cheekily assuming that thuway did also. But i don't report cboat PM's as news because that's cboat's news. I still don't know if that's what thuway was doing or if he had a separate source.
Here is something a dev told me after MS put out that horseshit UI video the other day.
"Kinect's voice array also does not work as efficiently as that. Hell, my X1 doesn't auto-sign me into my profile half the time. The time it takes between taking a command, and executing it has ranged between 3 to 7 seconds, if it registers the voice command. Depending on what other apps you have running, that is. I've done it with just my game running and it can take awhile. I had snapped IE with Studio Upload recording, and it crashed the console."
And another, on a different game said
"Performance in general was awful, snapping was super slow and voice commands recognition was meh. Tools are the worst part though. I mean, installing builds through a command prompt..."
I report what I'm told when I can verify that the people telling me are who they say they are. If it's wrong... it's wrong. Nothing I can do about it. But I'm not on some anti-microsoft crusade.
Snap looks totally cool in this video. I think that's a good thing. I'm not rooting for MS's OS to be a mess. I want to get a xbox one (if/when kinect is dropped). I got the OG xbox and 360 at midnight launches, for fuck's sake. I'm not hating for the sake of hating.
Edit... and about me being wrong about BF4 at 1080p - I was. But I also said "This is just someone who has played it saying it was 1080p. Was it upscaled? I have no idea. I don't think this is any sort of story, yet."

Sure. I pick up the remote, press Input, and watch it full screen. Still don't see why I'd want to snap it with my game when I could just....ya know....watch it.

Hoo boy, that sounds dreadful. I guess they were lucky it demoed well in this video. Will be interesting to see if those issues are addressed at launch or not...
So, he PMed you exactly what he's been saying on the forum posts?

Im guessing they will be ironed out. I think if Microsoft thought they couldn't get things working in time they would just scratch them for launch (like sony did with suspend/resume) instead of having it be buggy and creating horrible word of mouth.
Yes, you can snap any app.
Not every app...

Awesome feature! I can play games while my gf can watch her shows. Hopefully there is an option to switch audio...even better if it can output to headphones and main audio separately.
Hahaha, that is so mean. Hey babe, you can watch this small little bit of the TV while I get 2/3rds.
I don't expect that to be too much of an issue though, eventually any app that comes to the XB1 will be designed with snap in mind. Regardless, I stand corrected. I assumed it would be like Windows 8, where even if the app isn't necessarily designed with snap in mind, you can still force it to be snapped. Although I can see why they wouldn't that to be possible on the XB1.

Thanks I will try that out.
I really hope the snap function works well out of the box. I'm optimistic. It takes up screen real estate but for certain games I wouldn't mind.
I do have two questions though.
1. Can you mess around with the size of snap app and choose whether it's on the left or right side?
2. Does the PS4 work like the Vita where I can press the PS button and have the web browser open and toggle between both the game and the browser?

PS4: I'm stuck at this part of a game, can you do it for me while I watch?
XB1: I'm stuck at this part of a game, I'll use my snap feature to google........ bing tips&tricks so I can do it myself.
That's honestly the only thing I'll do with the snap feature.
Maybe that and Skype.

Or you just say "Xbox, snap ....". It also didn't exactly help that the person using the controller in this video was mashing buttons all over the place. And it didn't seem like he had used snap before.
Thank you fiyah!

I'm instantly reminded of the RRoD debacle. Would MS really delay or deactivate features if they weren't working at 100% or take the risk and hope it doesn't impact people too much until it's fully patched?
