Xbox One Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

Very true, he only claimed "Smartglass was broken beyond belief" here, whereas the rest was done on Twitter.

Odd that...

He got banned for saying something without sourcing it to the mods approval right? Then decided to get around it by posting the information on Twitter knowing stuff would be put on Gaf and can avoid going through the mods.
 
Love how the "A bad game is bad forever, a delayed game is eventually good." here for the Twitch app. :(

Anyways, thought we all knew Streaming wouldn't be here at launch? CBOAT said so months ago. :p

Heard there was some reviews up for games - any consensus on the game that you should get with the system? Not in a rush to get my ass handed to me by KI players just yet. Also do USB arcade sticks that worked on PC and the xbox work on the One?

Some reviews, Edge specifically, said there was no slowdown after downloading the day 1 patch. Maybe they're blind to it, but a few others have said in runs without a hiccup.

Brad from giant bomb also said there were no slowdows except for in one specific area.

Dead Rising and KI and Zoo Tycoon (really!) seen to be the best reviewed so far.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?

TV achievements are so stupid. Game achievements are just, something you managed to accomplish by your skill in playing a game. My dog can watch TV, staring is not an achievement. This goes for games that give you an achievement for doing shit like opening your inventory.
 
I see from the other thread that PS4 just got the 1080p patch for AC...has there been any indication from Ubi on potentially the same patch coming to XOne or has there been any confirmation as to how many peeessss he XOne is going to output for this game?

Nope, but the thing is out in the wild today (sold today in stores). Not going to be long before we all know. I'm thinking 900p but no way to be sure. That extra AA may have to be patched in as well so it may require day one update too.

There's no Gamescore points associated with media achievements. Only games can build Gamerscore so these are sort of notations for your use of apps is all.
 
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.

And it has a good Kinect/Smartglass implementation.

Can I swap out my Xbox 360 with the Xbox One without changing cables or were the cable/power brick altered for the Xbox One?
 
Went into Best Buy after picking up some Xbox One games from Gamestop and asked some launch questions. Apparently they are fulfilling 100% of pre-orders at launch, but had no idea there were two different editions of the Xbox One being released at the same time. The employee I was speaking to went out back to check the box colours after I mentioned it, and he said they had more green than black, so most likely black will be given to those that arrive first and have pre-orders. Asked a few more things but those were the questions I couldn't find answers to definitively online.

Start packing sand bags. No matter what is said tonight about the Xbox One, be it positive reviews or negative ones. It will be a bloodbath.

I was looking forward to using the Kinect voice commands now totally bummed to know I'll have to do it in French, as always, some of MS decisions are quite baffling :/
 
My copy of Assassin's Creed IV just arrived today through Amazon, shame they couldn't have just shipped the rest of my order today. Gonna be a long few days of staring at this box.
 
HDMI IN SON!!
Unfortunately, they've said that the input latency is high enough for the feed coming in that it's not recommended for fast games where input timing is key. Maybe it's a hardcoded limitation of the feature, or maybe it can be adjusted later on via update to strip a lot of the processing away for interactive use, rather than just linear/non-interactive feeds, like television shows and movies.
