This is a summary from reddit incase the cached version of the page stops working:

Crinsom Dragon, and Loco Cycle are letdowns. Strange they didn't mention Ryse? Maybe the game is good?

Good review based off the points. Also I know we are not talking about the controller here. We have at least a couple of people in here who have both saying it feels more high end.

As far Twitch goes yea they need to get it on their ASAP. Always weird to see MS behind on any online features and even more so for something they highlighted first. Bothers me none as I'm only a viewer, but tons of people want it.

I just google-fu'd a copy of the Battlefield 4 Xbox One manual!

WHAT CAN I SAY

If you are a Squad Leader, and there is a Commander, you can also say “Request Order” when your squad is readyfor duty. Let your Commander know what you need by saying “Request Scan”, “Request Vehicle”, or “RequestSupply”. When you are in the Deploy screen you can deploy by saying “Spawn”. During gameplay you can plan what classyou should deploy as, next time you deploy, by saying “Next time spawn as Medic” or whatever class you choose.The next time you deploy you will be deployed according to your wishes.The full list of Voice Commands can be found under “OPTIONS > KINECT”

LEANING

Using the Kinect, you can lean to look out from behind cover. Use this as a tactic to keep yourself partially behindcover while at the same time being able to shoot at an enemy. You can lean while standing or crouching.To turn Leaning ON/OFF, toggle the setting under “OPTIONS > KINECT > LEANING ENABLED”.

HEAD TRACKING

The Kinect can track your head. When in a vehicle, you can turn your head to look around. This will allow you tokeep driving in one direction but still get a good look at your surroundings.To turn Head Tracking ON/OFF, toggle the setting under “OPTIONS > KINECT > HEADTRACKING ENABLED”.

Don't know why some call the Xbox One controller cheap. I tried both PS4 and Xbox One controllers this weekend and they both are amazing and solid. I actually prefer the Xbox One triggers, they feel so great !

Am I back? I'm back! I'm back!

Wow what an incredible few weeks we've had. Got banned in the already historical DF BF4 comparison thread, and the twists and turns we've had ever since were mind boggling. I've missed you guys.

The XB1 duders were patient and kept trolling and aggression to a minimum over the countless threads orchestrated by two bit insiders spelling doom and gloom for the console. It was impossible for any positive news to emerge and be discussed without an active attempt to paint another, more dire picture.

What a turn of events. A sober reminder to many if nothing else. It's deplorable that so many members (of a board that has always supported gaming) were hoping for a failed launch, faulty XB1 hardware, broken software and all kinds of disasters for MS's platform. No one should want fellow gamers on a crutch, and I'm glad no one is trolling the (numerous) PS4 faulty hardware threads.

Anyway, hype on. Can't wait to play KI, Ryse and Forza. We're so close now.

Welcome back Salvor! Who's left banned, Shinnn? I hope he comes back soon and joins the party.

Are you serious? Many, many more people will use Twitch over DVR.
Click to expand...

An important feature, but I doubt I'd ever use the streaming. Saving a lot of short clips to organize/edit/upload wherever seems more up my street.

You can share them in your skydrive stream/channel that shows up in the Xbox Guide(?).

So how does heavily promoted and exclusive only (at that time) feature like TWITCH streaming @ E3 is absent on launch and will be added "later"

I decided to pick up Ryse from Amazon with my XB1. I was going to go all digital, but I figure there may be a few hickups.

So I am prepared while I wait to download Forza/DR3/KI/Golf!

What will be shown there?

It's just your standard launch party

The Xbox One launch this Friday, Nov. 22 is slated to be a worldwide blowout party. Cities around the world will play host to the next-gen console’s 12:01 AM release, starting in Auckland, New Zealand and working its way west to North America. Concerts, giveaways, gaming contests, costumes, and more will accompany the launch on a rolling basis
Click to expand...
Some of the launch parties will be appropriately lavish. In New York City’s Times Square, the Best Buy Theater will play host to 1,000 early-bird Xbox One purchasers, who will be able to see Macklemore and Ryan Lewis perform in person. In Los Angeles, deadmau5 will headline Milk Studios for the first 500 purchasers to line up.

If you're hoping for new game announcements then I wouldn't get too excited.

We could tell from player feedback that everyone wanted non stop sentinel beams and holographic armor lock via kinect.

Will we be able to activate armor lock by making the motion in our living room? If the answer is not "yes," I am so cancelling my preorder.

It was never heavily promoted (it was pretty much only ever mentioned at E3) and it was never exclusive.

It's better for Twitch to be implemented properly, rather then them having the feature at launch but it's broken, which would Then put people off permantly.

Like I said in the ArsTechnica thread, a year from now we will have forgotten about the delay and we will be happily streaming our games.

This.

It sucks that it's missing Twitch streaming, but it's not like it's never coming, and there will still be lots of people streaming XBO gameplay with capture cards since there's no HDCP to workaround.

As long as it's here by Titanfall launch, I'm good!

Hopefully the Microsoft Store in San Diego will have a lot of free goodies. LA is two hours away, and it's tempting to go check out that bigger scene.

Anyone else get a "Before your order ships, please make sure your payment and shipping information is correct" e-mail from Amazon?

Does that mean that my information is wrong, or does everyone get this?

Just check it for yourself if it's correct. This is probably Amazon reminding people to have their info correct to avoid problems on release.

THIS is the kind of Kinect integration that I would like to see.

Dead Rising 3 is actually the most impressive next-gen game I've seen so far. Not for the pure visuals, but for the density and amount of zombies on the screen at once, which just makes the world seem more alive (pun intended). I hope the next GTA can have this many people in it.

Is the launch 30fps patch still coming for dr3 or was that debunked?

That is really cool. Sounds like something I'd actually use.
