I think people who are anticipating this BIG jump in graphically fidelity are going to be in for a disappointment. (At least the launch line up) on looks alone seem to of just caught up to what can be achieved on PCs. To me, Ryse looks on par with Crysis 3 on ultra settings.
Btw, I'm in no way some PC elitist. I have a PS4 preordered and am really excited for next-gen consoles.
Hi everyone!
Recently, I had the chance to play the Xbox One and its launch games on an event floor at an Xbox Tour event in my region. I returned being highly disappointed in the system: Even knowing the Xbox One isnt going to be the most powerful of consoles, I expected much bigger a graphical improvement than I got to see with my own eyes.
Even Ryse's and Forza 5's gameplay visuals didn't strike me as a breakthrough, they seemed more of a refinement of current generation graphics than the great leap that I expected to experience after eight years. Battlefield 4 looked downright terrible (and Kinect leaning constantly interfered with unimpeded gamepad gameplay - I finally put a carton in front of the sensor to get a good go at the game), FIFA 14 didn't seem noticeably different from current gen and even Dead Rising only looked so-so.
Another thing to dislike about the Xbox One was the controller: The shape of the lower grips made it uncomfortable to hold, the sticks seemed too tiny and the bumpers were just strange (the amount of force needed to press them just didn't seem right/comfortable).
The Kinect only games on display were on an equal footing with current gen Kinect in terms of gameplay. The increased recognition fidelity wasn't immediately noticeable or beneficial in these games. The console itself seemed pretty clunky and big, and Kinect is a huge monster of a camera bar.
People that recognize my username on this forum may realize that I've preferred the PS4 to the Xbox One for a long time now for rational reasons (better performance, more interesting line up, cheaper): Even then, I didn't expect to get this negative an impression out of this event its kind of shocking, really.
What were other Gaffer's impressions of their play experience? Do you expect people will be disappointed at launch time with the general lack of a visual fidelity leap?
Agreed completely.You're all in for a shock when you get your Xbones and PS4s, the pics, gifs and videos shown so far have masked the continuing aliasing problems that drag down the entire visual package. This was a big problem at the Eurogamer Expo with every console game I saw from a typical living room distance, it was disappointing to say the least.
Whats up with his shoulder pads shrinking?
What are you talking about? The guy couldnt find one positive thing to say about it in his OP, not one. And im supposed to not question his motives? Yes your right, im sure theres nothing positive to say about this system. That seems very likely. Thank you, youve really opened my eyes.
Silly.Mikey said:Like Greg Miller from ign. I know he prefers gaming on ps3, but i also know hell give me truthful opinions about Xbox360. In Gaf, not so much.
Is there some reason people are glossing over his post history? He's not biased? Right...
Sounds like you really went in with an open mind. Brilliant impressions.
sarcasm
Then just disregard his opinion, problem solved. No reason to shit on the poster and his thread, that just keeps it getting attention and it gets bumped. Especially questioning the mods is probably not the best idea he ever had.
He dosent like it, many wont like it or the PS4. Just let it go, this is not some war/skirmish we have to have. He put some effort into this thread, at least show him that respect, even if he is bias or whatever. The only way it will go away is if people ignore it.
It's interesting how preemptively defensive so many people get in threads like these. Reminds me of when I moved to a new apartment once. I brought the cats in in separate pet carriers. Since the place smelled new they were nervous and scared. They started hissing, and as soon as I opened the doors they both hissed as each other and took a few swings. It's like dudes you KNOW each other!
Guy asked why the shoulder plates looked weird and the replies take jabs at him like he's shitting on the game.
I don't see anything wrong with the op, regardless of his post history. At least he tried the system? I have no interest in trying an xbone or making up a thread pretending to. I also don't feel like he's telling anyone what they're supposed to think or do. Come on guys, it's Thursday and our new consoles are a month away!
So we're supposed to give people respect just because they put effort in making a thread even if they're 100 % biased, and are only out to spread an agenda? I'm asking again, why didn't the OP post his impressions in the two threads related to the tour? Why start a new thread? I already know the answer, but I'm dying to get to know yours.

No intent to diminish the perspective or the opinions of the OP.
Couple things worth noting.
First, the game demos on the tour are the same ones weve shown at E3, Gamescom, and PAX. So both Forza and Ryse look good, but not the same as final. Both games look better now (as I would expect would be the case for Sony as well), so dont judge the tour demos too harshly relative to the final games. The Ryse video released today I think demonstrates that for those who have compared the E3 trailers with the newest.
Second, the environment that these games run in is not the same environment used for building the dash. So for those seeing the slow/janky dash UI from the tour, thats nothing like what the real code looks like. These tour boxes are not getting Beta drops, so the UI isnt even correct, let alone performing well. So dont use that as any comparison to the real UI. Again, the video released earlier in the week shows the updated code.
Controller should be close to final. So YMMV on how you like it. Ive worked on every version of every Xbox controller, and I like this one the best by a mile.
Lastly Sonys in exactly the same position, so Im not suggesting they shouldnt get the benefit of the doubt either. When you have stuff that works, you use it even if its not perfect. Right now, everyone is crunching.
Kameo and Resistance were badass.
Again: "Being biased" isn't the same as "having a preference for the, in my opinion, better system".
Yes, aliasing was extremely prevalent.
Yeah Utah got completely snubbed for no reason. Its lame. :/ Now we have to wait a Kiosk to show up at BestBuy or something.Why did SLC get bypassed for the X1 tour? You guys have a killer location downtown, would've been prime.
Next time.
Since the OP got bashed a bunch, I'll leave this for him. There is going to be some pretty negative XBOX ONE related news tomorrow.
Eh...tend to disagree about that.
I distinctly remember people complaining that Kameo for example, didn't look as impressive as the late PS2 era FF XII.
OP redeemed!Since the OP got bashed a bunch, I'll leave this for him. There is going to be some pretty negative XBOX ONE related news tomorrow.
Shoulder plates are just such a weird, nitpicky thing to bring up
I think everyone is just on edge because we're so close to next gen.

I like the bolded part. Honestly, even though I gave you flak in my first post in this thread, if your OP had been filled with more observations like this, rather than vague "looks like last gen" comments, then I wouldn't have ribbed you. This is something that I've also seen in several screens and videos for Xbox One games (Forza, I'm looking at you, you jaggy SOB). I agree that Dead Rising doesn't look too stunning, but making a claim like that usually should be backed up with specifics to avoid people lambasting your post.Again: "Being biased" isn't the same as "having a preference for the, in my opinion, better system".
Yes, aliasing was extremely prevalent.
Ryse delayed.
Next week Killzone cancelled and next gen prostponed to 2015.
Eh...tend to disagree about that.

I actually liked the controller, coming from this current generation wasn't a big fan of the 360 controller due to the battery pack and also huge shape of it. My hands are similar size to womens hands which meant the fit for the dualshock 3 and past controllers were perfect. When i played the Xbox One at Eurogamer i thought it was very comfortable a much better improvement over the 360 controller really love the small analogue sticks.
To those that have used the new controller:
Is it true the sticks are looser?

Yep. If anything its better to be upfront about your biases and expectations than to pretend to be purely objective.No that should not be "/thread" by itself. Almost everyone on this board has preferences and their impressions shouldn't automatically be discounted if they seem like legit impressions.
