Aw fuck, i lied! I edited some HTML to turn the hype up that bit more.

As for my actual delivery it should be express i think as i'm a Prime member - although when i ordered there was only the 'express' option whther you was Prime or not.

Spoiler

you LIED?

oh man, now I kind of feel just a little sorry about what I did to that poor guy Hanana or what was his name....... lololol

you terbinator! bad boy!!

JUST MAKE SURE YOU GUYS LET US KNOW WHEN AMAZON UK STARTS SHIPPING THEM XBONES!!

 

[Marvel]

Little touches like this also... oh man.

Didn't think such a thing as full screen achievement artwork would have me marking out but there it is. Haha.

Zoo management games - Zoo Tycoon

Lol

 

[GavinGT]

I have a charge on my account (and ordered on 6/10 as well from MS), but no shipping confirmation. Still has "order in progress" and "Backordered" for my order statuses. Boooooo...

You should be fine. Mine was saying that until about 8 hours ago. It's not like they're actually shipping anything on weekends, anyways. It probably just means mine has been put into a shipping box and thrown onto a pallet, while yours hasn't yet.

I really hope for Xbox One to sell well for the industry as a whole, I really do. But I'm sorry, the resolution is NOT fine.

 

[Aucool]

edit: sorry, wrong thread

 

[too much eslim]

I wish the xbox was popular in Japan or I would have no need for a PS4 this generation.

However in the meantime it literally has everything I want so a PS4 will not be bought until an amazing JRPG is announced.

Maybe for you, but please don't speak for everyone. Fun before eye candy.

Zoo management games - Zoo Tycoon

it looks funny, but just yesterday I followed up a little on zoo tycoon, and guess what:
I think its the best game for families/kids across the board, AND I expect it to hit a PRETTY GOOD metacritc average from the presentation I saw yesterday..

 

[too much eslim]

Resolution will not be an issue with any game come next fall.

 

[UNCMark]

Can't believe they're still going with the "if it were more real..." line. At least I hope "beta tested in the future" is dead and buried.

What's wrong with "If it were more real, it would be real"?

It's a Forza ad. It works.

 

[mcrommert]

Going to the Microsoft store release at Tyson's Corner for my console... hope I see some gaffers there 😃

I can have fun playing Miss Pac Man. So the resolution is indeed very fine. If the resolution is not fine tell that to Mine Craft.

I've heard on several podcasts that this might be the sleeper hit of the Xbox One launch. I'll check it out if reviews are good, and Neogaf impressions.

Is it a $60 game? Or is it like an arcade game?

Yeah. It actually looks really good from what I've seen as well.

It's a $60 game.

It's release games, calm down, both systems are capable of doing 1080p at 60fps, Devs haven't had the time to get used to a mature dev environment/hardware platform.

 

[UNCMark]

Seriously? It's dumb as hell.

No it isn't. It implies the game is so realistic that you might actually feel like you're driving those cars. Compared to a lot of their other tag lines, it's Shakespeare.

 

[PG2G]

I'll play Zoo Tycoon when they give it away free on Xbox Live

 

[Xenon]

Can't believe it's less than 5 days to go! Seems like many of you guys are preordering games. But to get the most out of the OS, it is better to go digital. Since there is no B2G1 deal why not just go DD?

Alright, man.

 

[mozfan12]

I believe it's a full priced game, not sure though. I'm also confused if it is a retail exclusive, which is stupid for a launch game (or any game in general). I've heard it will only be available at Walmart in the US at least.

I am going digital only, but I'm a bit nervous about download speeds at launch after PSN died for almost 48 hours

Because I can't sell or trade-in a digital copy.

PSN may have died, but SEN didn't. Downloads were still nice and quick. Store never dropped for me.

I don't know why, and I know I'm wrong, but I just can't go digital. I think it's because I like the high of the new game smell so much. Every single time I buy a game, that first opening of the case, and the smell...my god! THE SMELL!

oops! my infos about this game didnt go that far.. i thought it would be a download-only ~30euro game or something in those lines..
but its a 60euro retail exclusive to amazon?
oh man! is Hanana going to be happy to chat again with me so soon hehe

ps
I think this game would do so much better by being what I thought it was.. like a 30euro downloadable game.....

Why's that? I know it would mean I could download my games from a friend's Xbox One, but they're so big that I don't see myself doing that.

Because dling on of those bigger titles would take me like a day. Would make for a pretty shitty launch day lol.

I need better internet.

 

[LTWheels]

I think Zoo Tycoon will be a good January/Feb purchase whilst waiting for Titanfall.

Hopefully there will be some discount on the game by then.

 

[jem0208]

Why's that?

Quick switching will only work if the titles are digital, can't switch to games which are sitting in their cases.

 

[Xenon]

Even though I picked up my ps4 at midnight, I did the update Friday and it took 15 minutes including install time. Considering MS deals with Windows updates from a much larger user base I think we'll be fine.

Hopefully with their experience the launch will go down quite smoothly.


I'm expecting the worst though.

 

[Wishmaster92]

You guys need to be careful about going all digital

Ryse: Son of Rome – 34GB

Digital download size is 34GB, yet the disk based install is 47GB. They must be compressing audio, cutscenes...something.

 

[LaserBuddha]

Resolution will not be an issue with any game come next fall.

I've heard this before and I think it's bullshit. I assume you mean they will both be getting 720p games or lower because developers will be pushing the hardware? That false equivalency would make sense if there wasn't a noticeable gap in power between the two consoles. A game that is 720p on Xbone will be 1080p on PS4, or it will have a better frame rate, or just better graphics in general, or a combination of those. Easily. A developer would have to pretty deliberately handicap their PS4 version to make both look the same.

 

[GavinGT]

Oh, right. I'm more of a one-game-at-a-time kind of guy, so that's not too enticing for me. At least I'll still have that for download-only games, though.

Yeah, I also wonder if there is a longer pause even if the disk is in the drive.

 

[Bgamer90]

Man, I love the thread title.

1. Because it's funny.

2. Because it's attracting trolls that (for some reason) don't take it as an obvious joke/sarcasm.

There is always a overhead for disc things, plus the download is not going to be the actual install size I think.

Can you have multiple games running at the same time?

Im sure the files will be decompressed without any loss of quality and both will be 47GB installed.

That's great we are just 2 days into the new generation and that's become a fact somehow?

Just go enjoy games on both platforms man.

Yeah that's probably it. I just noticed it said up to 47gb so it's most likely less.
